Had to scroll down quite a bit on the HN page to find your comment, obviously it has been downvoted because having this opinion is apparently not allowed in this world. That being said, I fully agree with you. I've tried watching this movie multiple times. When it originally came out so many years ago, friends of mine recommended it to me and they were absolutely lyrical about it. I've tried watching it high, I hated it. I've tried watching it sober, I hated it. I've tried watching it many years after it came out, I still hated it. There is something about this movie that totally grinds my gears, and I cannot put my finger on it. |

Spirited Away is beautiful, in the artistic sense of the word. It has no real story, and is just a hodgepodge of Japanese folklore pieced together to half-resemble even a mild plot.
The rest of the stuff that isn't folklore-related is just the anthropomorphic elements Miyazaki added in as filler because of "kawaii".

And as an aside.... "Had to scroll down quite a bit on the HN page to find your comment, obviously it has been downvoted because having this opinion is apparently not allowed in this world."
It's not the "world" that has this problem. It's hacker news. This place seriously has a groupthink problem. For this site, "Disagree(opinion)" == "Disagree(factually incorrect)" == "Disagree(against group opinion) == "Disagree(no reason)" are all given the same weight, and the same gray-on-offwhite text.
