Spirited Away Anime Movie - GROUP REACTION!!! 

no face is one of the most interesting characters in the movie to me.

thank you for the info! So i have some understanding of yokai but im curious about kami. if they arn't "gods" like in english then is it just more like a powerful spiritual being that has some domain of some kind?

I don't think “God” and “Kami” are completely different. However, they are different concepts, so I still feel a little uncomfortable. I think the English word "God" originally refers to a very special, absolute being in the world, like the gods of Christianity and Islam. Our concept of “Kami” is something closer to us, something that just exists there. For example, nature, animals, tools, the land itself. Sometimes dead people are worshiped a Kami！🌳⛰️☀️🐕🗡️🪞 They are just like nature: sometimes they are good for humans and sometimes they are bad for humans. In fact, all of the unique bathhouse guests in this anime are like that. Indeed, I think it would be more accurate to translate them as spirits. Here, the ideas of animism that have continued since ancient times, Japanese mythology, and the many folk tales passed down throughout Japan. They are intermingled. Do you know Shinto?⛩️ Generally speaking, it has a longer history than Buddhism and is the most central religion in Japan. However, for the Japanese, it is more like a world view than a religion. It has myths, but no scriptures or doctrines. Just culture. Most Japanese people probably don't think of it as a religion. I am Japanese, but I am not an ethnologist, so I apologize if my explanation is incorrect. 😅 For me, it is very hard to explain the traditional Japanese worldview in English to others, especially those from monotheistic cultures. Sorry The shrine’s website has an explanation of the “Kami”. This shrine is the most important and prestigious place for Japanese Shinto. ⛩️Please take a look if you are interested. There is also an explanation on Wikipedia.😉 www.isejingu.or.jp/en/pdf/soul-of-japan.pdf ( www.isejingu.or.jp/en/ )

@@akasa8jp thank you for the information. i knew bits and pieces of that but you gave a more thorough explanation. especially the part about shinto being more a part of the culture than religion as iv heard as much in some older youtube videos but didn't fully get it. thank you!

thank you for your comments! we love learning about the characters in different roles. thank you for watching!

we have a couple more of them on the poll so eventually we wil probably see several of them including howls moving castle

Spoilers The story was written by the brother, but he felt so guilty about his little sister dying that he changed the ended so that he died as well.

sorry about that will try to be more careful
