I just saw Spirited Away for the first time just half an hour ago. I know I am a noob for not having seen it sooner, but late is better than not at all, right? Without getting into a full review here, this is or is very close to the best movie I have ever seen. It's too bad that doesn't mean very much (I do not watch movies very often) but it is a very very nice movie. I think I finally understand a few references to it, including that bath house in Okami being run by birds. Anyway, if you haven't seen it, and anyone reading this probably already has, you should watch it soon. (by 2002, [released in 2001] 1/6th of Japan had watched it)
One thing though, it really annoys the hell out of me that Disney, the publisher... no wait, the distributer of the English version of the movie, puts their "Walt Disney Studios Presents" thing ON THE TOP AND FRONT. They hardly did anything! GRRR... Sorry, I will spare you the disney rant. Getting the whole thing head-on endangers the side and frontal lobes of your brain, or so I'm told.
