Spirited Away
Mar. 16th, 2003 02:44 amwhew. thought and plotted paper until 11-ish. Saw there was still time to catch the 11:30 Spirited Away, so scampered hence. Mousie, Cassie, Annie, etc! Very Very Sorry! I had to squeeze out that drop of paper-plotting....
But anyway, now, on my second watching, and this time in dubbed... I finally realized how beautiful it really is... an intricate blend of East and West... Which makes people versed only in one aspect slightly confused and weirded out by the parts they don't understand. I'm sure everyone can admire the pretty gothic churchlike station, and the ferry, etc. Now, in the present audience (Karen, Jeanne, Jen), I'm hardly the expert on Japanese mythology, but I'll still try to address some of the potentially weird parts that hit me while re-watching it. (partly by the "huh"s expressed by the audience.)
( this needs a cut b/c there'd be spoiler-ish things )
In other aspects, the dubbing is very well done. Haku is a tiny bit stale, but he was in the original, as well.
Add: OMG, "glomp" isn't a word? ::traumatized::
