Damn, I love ruining people's childhood.

I recently told many of my family members what I thought of the classic anime film, Spirited Away. While they may not believe what I said, it sounds completely reasonable and they will probably think of what I said every time they see the film, which will probably ruin the experience for them. What I told them is that in the beginning, when Chihiro's father is speeding through the forest in his car, and he stops unreasonably quickly and just in time right before hitting a large stone statue, that this is not what really happened. Earlier on in the movie, you see Chihiro laying in the back seat of the car without her seat belt on. Later on when they are speeding through the forest and they stop, they do so in such a way that would no way happen in reality. He was going at least 35+MPH and stops in less than 20 ft without any skidding. What I said is that they didn't stop in time and hit the stone statue, Chihiro flew out of the windshield, knocking her unconscious and critically injuring her as a result. She survives, but it hospitalized in a coma.

Now understand, that this sounds like a very generic creepy-pasta like sounding theory, but hear me out. Now when Chihiro's parents turn into pigs, this is her in her coma, forgetting what her parents look like. All the deformed humanoid beings in the bath house are representative of her forgetting what people look like as she stays in her coma for longer and longer. She even starts to forget her name as her fantasy and child-like world take stronger hold over her mind. I know there may be holes in this theory, but I didn't come up with it to be consistent, but rather to mess with my family. The ending also kind of debunks this theory, but every time you watch the movie, keep in mind what I have said and realize how rational it sounds.

Paragraphs Chakas. Paragraphs.

Spirited Away is easily one of my favorite movies. Probably need to rewatch it agan soon. I'll keep this thread in mind.

You should read up on what Spirited Away is really about

I already know what it is about. Child brothels and things of that sort. I read up on it. It's depressing. I like my version better.

I don't care for most of them. I do like Sky Crawlers though. Although I don't know if it's made by the same people. That shit's depressing as fuck. I also like how it was based around an alternate timeline rather some mystical, magical, creepy ass alternate universe.

Yu-Yu Hakusho. The only anime I've bothered to watch where the protagonist is actually dead so all of the show makes sense

I can't blame you. I wasn't too entertained either. I'm not one for all those magical fantasy aime universes. I like alternate realities/timelines, post-apocalyptic universes, and things of that sort.

Character gets hit by a car saving a kid. Then works as a spirit detective to get a chance to come back to life. iirc.
Good show.

Yeah I know. But I like it. I don't like it when everything is so well off for the main characters. This is one of the reasons why I don't like LoK. I like shit happening and people dying. I want a movie that can make me feel depressed and sad. If you watch an anime and don't feel emotion of any kind, you are not watching the right anime

That's another thing that irritates me. Animes that go for shock value with gore in their character deaths rather than emotion. It ruins any feelings had for that character when it shows them so openly disembowled.
