thanks for the video ! i had noticed the saturation while watching and even did some screenshots to show to my friends lol also, is this the anime where they drink coffee together and one says something like "i got lost in your eyes" or something like that ? i think it's super cub that has a scene like this, but i completely forgot ! :D

didn't like Utena at all but then saw someone mention Penguindrum so I went ahead and watched it many thanks for the video; you makes things less baffling somewhat. the last 3 or so episodes were a bit maddening cuz I felt there was no more coherence or logic. the so-called right track and the true nature of the penguindrum were all open to interpretation and I'm not even sure if the creator himself knew just like you I enjoyed the seizon senryaku segments massively. they r now basically my favourite transformation sequences and that's saying a lot a question - while Ringo stalked the glasses guy she was recreating bit by bit events recorded in Momoka's diary so Momoka must've got a few dirty secrets of her own as well? she and glasses guy were in a relationship that was hardly appropriate for school children, either that or she was also a delusional stalker/yandere like Ringo
@littleorphananimeYT 9 күн бұрын
I always got the impression that the thoughts in Momoka's diary were relatively sweet and innocent, but the lengths that Ringo had to go to make them a reality was where all the stalker energy was coming from. Now I want to go back and see if some of those diary entries do indeed paint Momoka as more of an obsessed stalker herself . . .

fascinating video, im so glad to know that people are still talking about this masterpiece of a movie in new and interesting ways. it encourages me to think about aspects of the movie in different contexts. something that always intrigued me was how easily and readily chihiro gave up the purging medicine to haku and no face even though she meant to save it for her parents. she had the key to getting out of her situation in a quicker manner, yet she decided to split it in half and offer it to others instead. chihiro working to save her parents could be interpreted as them getting into some kind of debt (her parents carelessly consuming or taking from shady figures, forced to give themselves up as payment and only their daughter can free them through arduous work). i interpreted the river spirit's gift as a favor to chihiro, a way to reward and recognize her hard work. something like a rare opportunity given by a wealthy and high-ranking individual to aid someone less fortunate. in this context, i wonder what it means for chihiro to give up such a favor when she was so desperate to save her parents. perhaps she felt that haku and no face needed the help more than her parents did? there's a chance that the consequences for haku and no face's descent into greed would be even more severe than it was for her parents. or maybe it was just something in her nature that pushed her to help others above her own goals. either way, the extent of chihiros humility and willingness to refuse things she doesn't need/give up things that others may need more in that moment is such an interesting character trait. i'd love to hear any thoughts
@littleorphananimeYT Ай бұрын
I agree that there's a lot of similarity to the situation in the movie and one where the parents get into debt and pass along the hardship to their daughter. If I remember rightly, there's a part where Chihiro directly tells No Face that she was saving the gift for her parents, but she thinks No Face needs it more, so that would explain where her mind is at concerning the gift and giving it away. That part where you say there was something in Chihiro's nature that pushed her to help others above herself rings true to me: I think the trials she undergoes in the story bring out those better qualities of her inner nature. Interesting post.

I like your analysis that Chihiro doesn't eat the food in the spirit world because she doesn't express greed, but also when her family first arrives and her parents eat the food they're transformed in front of her. I would imagine that is pretty traumatizing as well, perhaps making her afraid of eating in the spirit world. I always find the movie interesting from an international level since Irish culture also has a concept of the Other World, and one of the basic rules to remember is to never eat or drink anything from the Other World because you'll be trapped there. Like anything else the Good Folk may gift, the food is a contract and they're trying to trick you into unknown terms, usually slavery. The stories also stress that food will be bewitched to drive you to eat it, so Chihiro's parents pigging out on random food they find never struck me as odd. Neither did them being turned into pigs because of it. I know the film was never meant to be read in this way, but I do find it to be an interesting angle. And "everything is a contract that you're not allowed to read and if you don't accept it you'll die" is very consumerist/work culture too
@littleorphananimeYT Ай бұрын
Nice insight into Irish mythology there; putting some kind of curse or spell on the food to make it irresistible would make a lot of sense. This also made me think of the Greek myth where Persephone was trapped into going back to the underworld for three months out of the year because she ate three pomegranate seeds while she was there. I think someone could write an entire book just based on how different cultures treat food in the spirit world/afterlife (like the Egyptians and others burying their dead with food so they wouldn't go hungry in the afterlife). Come to think of it, I'd be surprised if someone hadn't already written something like that; I would totally read it.

theres another fun thing to add to this perspective: in a spirited away Q&A, miyazaki himself says that chihiro's relationship with haku is like "falling in love with a manager". this is because he's warm and kind during the day when yubaba is sleeping (outside of work) but cold and distant at night, as if he doesn't know her (during work hours/at the establishment). i find it funny that the quote he uses to describe them is "what was that about last night?"

@@jaredloveless definitely agree that he does it to protect not only their relationship but the both of them in general. yubaba cant know about them so he has to act like he doesn't care about chihiro during work. if they had been found out, they would have both been punished. I can somewhat understand it from a workplace perspective, especially with haku's role as a manager requiring that he remain strict and imperturbable at all times.

In the Japanese version, the english subtitles have Zeniba say that her and her sister are two halves of a whole but they don't get along. In the english dub when Chihiro is apologizing for Haku, Zeniba says "he sliced me in two you know, and I'm still angry!" (Chihiro asks "what?" but Zeniba has moved onto something else). I think both of these incidents are essentially stating that they are more than just twins without really explaining it

this is some important insight, very cool! I'm no student of world culture specifically, but I've picked up a lot of stuff here and there, with the office culture (both then and now) in Japan being one of 'em. They've definitely got an extreme that can be dehumanizing and almost psychosis-inducing, to the point where you COULD have two sides to yourself to encase all of that turmoil in one, while keeping the other clean-- but the fact of greed making monsters out of 'monsters' is a well-made message of the movie, and this vid. Yokai are like others unique in supernatural races in that they're simply citizens of a different world alongside ours, and the work place can definitely make some harder changes on 'em, but only in manifestation. I think we could all use that 'river spirit medicine' and 'selfless act' now and then, just by feeling quiet, and helping out for no reason at all, other than being a part of this big family we call the population. I've also got a story I'm writing that has a later chapter involving a yokai onsen called 'Mujinto' that's more of a.. _red light district_ offering under a mountain, but the conflict is from the VIPs showing up to the place for some more 'old-fashioned yokai' fare, AKA eating people. This has given me some helpful ideas, so double-thanks! Don't work too hard now~
