Absolutely! The time and thorough research for this must have been very big, also getting all that footage and the assembly! Fantastic Job!

すごいな。よくここまで掘り下げてくれました。

The production quality of this video is simply OUTSTANDING! I looked on the left to see what BIG channel this was... and 2.47k subscribers?! Dude, you will be famous one day! Such brilliant quality is impossible to stay hidden! Thank you for these wonderful 24 minutes!

Why this video does not have milion views yet? It is such good quality with meticulous research. I love it! Have to share it with all my friends who like ghibli films :)

It will my friend, the KZread algorithm brought us here.

This IS the the best Ghibli related documentary I've ever seen...the number of subs and views means nothing...the content does

This was absolutely a treasure! I am so excited to see what else you’ve done and will do! My favorite Ghibli movie of all time and the first one I actually got to see when it released in American theaters! Thank you! ❤

it's amazing! I live in an area near Studio Ghibli in Tokyo. I am very grateful to you for being so well acquainted with Professor Miyazaki's spirit and for traveling around Japan to conduct research based on that knowledge.

The editing and cinematography are absolutely off the charts. Better yet, I absolutely appreciate the historical deep dives into Japanese culture, folklore, and history. The quality present is absolutely top tier. I would expect this on major broadcasting channels. Is there a works cited page that lists the resources for yokai, history, Miyazaki quotes, etc? Happily subbed and excited to see more!

Beautiful short doc. The KZread algorithm blessed me with a real gem this evening

24:36 24:36 日本人です。大変な御労作、敬服致します。千と千尋の神隠しの風景、景観は日本人ならいつかどこかで見た景観と感じます。 ハクの姿についても服装は1000年昔の貴族や武士の少年の着用した水干(すいかん)と呼ばれるものでヘアースタイルも同時代の貴族や武士の少年のものであまそぎと呼ばれるものです。 ハクや千尋の顔付きも日本人の少年少女によくある顔立ちですし(私の身内の子がハクそっくりです)物語の随所に神道や民間伝承からのインスピレーションを感じ我々日本人には千と千尋の神隠しは違和感なく素直に受け入れる事ができます。 海外の方にこの作品が愛されここまで分析される事に驚きと感動を禁じ得ません。 きっと日本国も気に入って下さっておられると思います。ありがとうございます。

Great journey for the route of Spirited away! I'm Japanese living in Japan but I've never been those places.Thanks for all your hard work. I'm spirited away

Woken up by my 91-year old mother at 4 in the morning and couldn't sleep again, this video found me. It is quiet and calm, showing me around in places in Japan and guide me through the story of Spirited Away.

日本人も知らないことばかりなのに凄いです

Insanely high quality video and was very surprised to see that it's your first video. Can't wait to see more content from you

Thank you! More where that came from.

My entire body is having goosebumps because of the ending 🙀 thank you for your effort it was amazing🤩🤩

I’ve never watched such a coherent, incredible and respectful video about Spirited Away and Japan before. Thank you so much!!

This video made me like and appreciate Spirited Away even more! I thought this channel would have millions of subs based on the quality and respectful insightfulness, but it’s a new channel… which makes it like finding one of the many Japanese gems found in this video. ❤

I screamed a little when he said he was nervous because The Miyazaki looked out of the window when he was filming! Like what an OMG moment! What an amazing process and work this video is!

Thank you for this amazing work. The film Spirited Away has great significant meanings to me since I was a young girl. The end of this video really touched me and reminded me of why I love this film so much. ❤

I did not have top-quality documentary from a tiny new channel on my bingo card for tonight, but here it is. HOLY MOLY, this is a tasty meatball! In all seriousness and at least half in jest, I love this. I unironically love this. It brings me to tears about how deep you dive. I love this takeaway from the movie, and I hope Miyazaki has a chance to see this documentary. It's so good.

I was browsing youtube and came across this video and you know after 10 mins i has to subscribe. The quality is so good, I even said to my fiancee this is bettee than any of the BBC/ ITV production. I really think your effort and editing is being praised by all the viewers and rightly so. I look forward to seeing this channel grow, it deserves it. Me and my fiancee went Japan back in Nov 23 and we miss it terribly. You really went in so much depth with this. Love it.❤

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your kind feedback :)

Ghibli is one of the most beautiful human things I've known. Spirited Away helped me in a time I felt lost. Seeing this was both amazing and uplifting. Thank you truly. It's the first time I feel I finally understand this movie.

I could watch a six hour version of this video without blinking! Great content, wonderfully produced, congratulations.

As anime fan since before Akira, yeah I am seriously old, and of course Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli, I found this a great analysis of Spirited Away. All that research for a concise, watchable, and well-crafted video was amazing. Looking forward to future works.

Thanks for this beautiful deep dive into Japanese Culture and the world of Ghibli...We're looking forward to more of your content.

Well done. A masterpiece. The next time I watch spirited away, I will see it completely anew. Thanks and bravo for such a well done documentary.

This video was what we all needed. Thank you so much! I cannot wait to visit in November.

Very strong first video! Well researched, well paced with great value! Looking forward to see more!

This is incredibly done, I was expecting such a high quality documentary style.

Man this is top notch! Came here from reddit lol but what a great piece of documentary! Thank you!

This was so good and thorough ❤ more please, I am rewatching Spirited Away tonight, thank you for reminding me that my soul needs it

This is an absolutely excellent piece that does justice to one of the most transcendent works of animation. The in-depth research, the care in the footage and edit-the love of the team shows in every cut. Thank you for this!

Instant subscription, great to see a fellow cinematographer doing such amazing stuff

Wow, that was great! You guys did an amazing job! Everything was done so well and was so moving. So well thought out, shot, and edited, and those cinematic shots are gorgeous. The history and research that went in is so well done. Can't wait to see if you have anything else in store.

Is amazing, Hayao Miyazaki shows us a little of the culture in Japan, the landscapes and the thoughts about like the humanity generate negative changes in this, i hope someday have the opportunity to see Japan

And so with the great universe and its ever present synchronicities, I was meant to see this in this exact moment of time. Thank you for making such an amazing documentary about the locations and significances of this film. Hayao Miyazaki san is a very humble and passionate guy

Excellent work, hope this blows up because it is a gripping watch even for casual Ghibli fans.

An inspiring documentary. Thank you. I have watched many video essays on Spirited Away but none as insightful and beautifully crafted as this. Miyazaki would be proud. I look forward to more documentaries exploring Ghibli films or Japanese culture and folklore. You have a rare talent for this.

This is the kind of documentary I imagine I would have made about Spirited Away. Excellent work, thank you!

This is simply incredible and with a profound teaching.

Thank you for this loving take on Spirited Away and Miyazaki. Ending on the equanimity of Chihiro wraps things up nicely. I see that as the zen influence on the story, something I hadnt really appreciated well enough until your video. Thank you. Am going to watch Spirited Away yet again!

The throughout research you made, the video quality, your calming voice, the SHOTS, EVERYTHING is so awesome I can‘t put it into words. Thank you so much for this detailed insight of one of the greatest masterpieces🙏🏻💕

Outstanding, quality stuff. because of you, I'm off to Japan ... again 😂. Thank you

凄いですね。。なんか癒される場所ばかりですね。

Wow, I’m amazed on the amount of details and inspiration I can see you show. Well done! This is beautiful

also this last trip to japan to Hiroshima museum. i understand he makes films for the children who survived. he always has a main character child. often a little girl who must learn to navigate life without parents. I recall he regretted as a child that his family did not help a mom and daughter they came across on the road. his stories are always full of lightness wonder and joy of discovery made with love for the children of japan. 🌸💚🌸💚🌸

Beautifully filmed and curated! Hugely enjoy - thank you. I'm always looking for great Ghibli content and this is just perfect.

clicked this video just to run in background, ended up watching the whole video, awesome work dude!!!

Beautiful video with quality content, love the pacing and flow. Thank you for this amazing video and appreciate all the work put into producing this wonderful masterpiece!

Really appreciate the time you took to make this video

Amazing work on this! Watching this brought back the same feelings I had when I first watched Spirited Away. Thank you!

Bravo! Thank you for the documentary. Please keep up the great work. I really appreciate channels that contribute great contents to the world and not trash.

I couldnt stop watching. So much of Japan is now pastiche. This video inspires me to visit Japan for the right reasons. Write a Ghibli tourism book please!!😅

thank you brother for this documentary thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

This is absolutely amazing. I loved your analysis and all the context you brought to explain everything. The cinematography was stunning, It was really emotional seeing all the parallels between the story and real life events. This is great content, I hope you keep doing more videos like this. Good job

This is such a beautiful concept. It’s amazing to see you connect a Film and it’s origin through such an incredible project. It makes me really happy to see how much love you poured into this and I hope you do more like this in the future

This is an absolutely superlative video. Great work sir!

OMG this was soo good! I appreciate your efforts! I literally kept applauding after the video ended for minutes! The last part gave me chills! Pls do more of these documentries!

Excellent story telling, deep research and execution. And such a huge relief from the usual Japan content that simply involves blabbering on the subject without any research. I am so glad I found this channel and you’ve earned a new subscriber. Hoping to see more excellent stories. All the best!

Thank you for sharing this video with us. Long time no see anything having high quality like this. Great job! Nice editing!

Already just about my favourite film from my favourite director, you have added much depth and richness to my experience of this masterpiece. Thank-you !

One of the best pieces on Spirited Away I've ever seen! I hope this will go viral and hope to see more from you!

This documentary is amazing. Thank you for such a great deep dive into Spirited Away world and Mr. Miyazaki views. I wish the video would've been even longer. Can't wait to see more of what you create!
