59. Spirited Away (2001)

Ive never been all that huge into Ghibli. They have some incredible art and animation, but the stories are always a bit dull to me. Creative, yes, but traditional fantasy isnt really my jam. That being said, Spirited Away is pretty good stuff, all things considered.

Its about a young girl who gets transported to a fantasy world, and must learn to adapt to the new world by working at a bathhouse for strange creature. I dont remember a whole lot about this, as I watched it ages ago and never felt compelled to return to it, but I remember really enjoying the atmosphere. Its pretty calming most of the time, allowing you to absorb the beautiful creations of the legendary Miyazaki.

The art direction and animation really stand out to this day. Ghibli excels making everything they touch look graceful, which contrasts with the pretty ordinary character designs. The attention to detail within the scenery is only rivaled by Makoto Shinkai, and the complexity within motion seen in the characters and monsters is a joy to watch. Certainly hits that magical feel that Ghibli is renowned for. Its also the only anime to win an Oscar, though its become pretty apparent that that means absolutely nothing.
