With the Studio Ghibli roster making its debut on Netflix, the Meanwhile crew takes a look back at its most acclaimed hit, Spirited Away. Join Saba, Chris and Kristina in this second installment of our “Anime” series. Studio Ghibli and more specifically Spirited Away has always held a very special place in anime fans' hearts and we are no exceptions to that. We take a look at what makes this story so beloved and about our own experience with it. We also dive into the rich lore that creator and director Hayao Miyazaki has so generously sewn into the world. The unique mind of Hayao Miyazaki is responsible for the success of Studio Ghibli as a whole, so we also discuss the vision and scope behind his creations and what makes them special. With so many memorable characters from No-face to Haku, Yubaba to Zeniba, Chihiro to Bō (the scary giant spoiled baby), we don’t skimp out on our favorites. Join Chihiro at the bath house with the Meanwhile crew.
