Hello guys! Sorry I never posted yesterday, I wasn't feeling too well but never mind I'll post today! So today instead of writing about an animated movie, I'm going to write about an anime movie! So this is the first anime related thing I ever watched, Spirited Away by Studio Ghibli.
Spirited away is about a 10 year old girl names Chihiro who is encountered the Spirit World with her parents when her Father got lost trying to find the new house they were moving to. Chihiro's parents turned into pigs for greedily eating the Spirits food while Chihiro starts to disappear. She meets a Spirit boy named Haku who tells her she has to eat Spirit food offered to her in order for her to not disappear, also that if she ever wants to leave with her parents she will have to work in the Bath House and recommends to go see the boiler man Kamaji. Kamaji has no jobs and bribes a Bath House worker Lin to take Chihiro to to witch who runs the Bath House Yubaba. Yubaba agrees to give Chihiro a job but bounds her to a contract by stealing her name and giving her the new same Sin. She works in the Bath House and a number events happen and the Spirits start to warm up to her whereas before they all despised humans. She helps a river spirit who was polluted, accidentally lets a dangerous spirit named No-Face into the bath house and breaks the contract between Haku, who is actually called Kohaku who is also a river spirit, and Yubaba. Chihiro also breaks her own contract and is allowed to return home with a promise from Haku that they would meet again!
Now I usually give descriptions of all the main characters but Chihiro is a pretty simple girl so I'll just give a description of Haku!

Look Guys, I gave you a GIF! |
Initially shown to be most kindhearted, caring and compassionate, Haku serves as one of the factor's of Chihiro's massive growth of character throughout the film. He is considerate, crafting rice balls for Chihiro knowing that she would be hungry and going out of his way to show Chihiro her cursed parents. In Yubaba's presence however, Haku changes from a kindhearted person to a stoic, cold and strictly professional inidividual, treating everyone (including Chihiro) with sternness so as not to arouse suspicion in Yubaba. - Took from Studio Ghibi Wiki
Now, many fans of this movie have requested for a sequel but Studio Ghibli has never made a sequel to any of their movies. When I found this out I was pretty gutted but on Fanfiction.net someone has written what they would assume to be the sequel of this fantastic movie! Is a positively amazing story and I would recommend it to any Spirited Away fans! I'll leave a link at the bottom of the post!
One of the main interests about this movie is the relationship between Haku and Chihiro. The closest to any love interest between the pair is Kamaji saying to Lin while Chihiro is taking care of injured Haku that she doesn't recognize that Chihiro loves Haku. There is a lot of fan art and fan fictions about these two that I highly support, here is some art for you guys!

This one actually happened in the movie! Cute Huh? |
Now I will end this post with a picture of a Haku as a dragon... I never did mention he turns into a dragon did I? Oh well here's Haku the Dragon!
