I agree with you, spirited away has nothing to do with sending a message about the sex industry. It's true that it contains clear rules and orders bath houses have but they wiped it out and replaced it with children friendly fantasy that's what it's simply is
Yup. Like the message before you, Hayao said himself it was about his friends 10 year old daughter and her friends.
maybe we shouldn't think spirited away is abt the japanese sex indistry bc hayao miyazaki himself said it was inspired by his friend's 10 yr old daughter and that he wanted to make a movie where a 10 year old girl was the heroine bc that's so rarely seen in japan? holy shit, people are ready to sexualise anything. and anything can be sexualised if you look hard enough into it, doesn't mean that it should be.
That is exactly why I don’t think it is. For that message and moment in time I completely forgot that Hayao said himself that it was inspired by his friends 10 year old daughter and her friends. I definitely agree with the whole sexualization of everything. Chihiro is 10 and she’s being sexualized. It’s gross.
Why don't you think Spirited Away is about the sex industry in Japan? I've seen some pretty reasonable analyses..
Because I don’t. I think people just want to stick it with that label for whatever reason.

Non of ghiblis movies are innocent, they all have much deeper meanings
Deeper meanings does not equal not innocent. Spirited Away isn’t about Japan’s sex trade industry.
Have you heard about how spirited away is about japan's sex trade industry?
Yes and I don’t think it really is about that. I just think it’s an innocent movie. :p
Dat Ghibli blog doe. Seriously though. I think I'm in love!
Thanks so much. :) I really appreciate it!

You’re so lucky, Kiki. I wish I could fly. People like you can just fly away on a broomstick.¸

I got to make some color palettes for the best animation studio around, Studio Ghibli, to promote their newest and, sadly, last film When Marnie Was There. They’ve done Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and many other amazing films and are masters at using color.
I am very stoked that the kind people at LOVE featured the palettes as a brief retrospective. Check out their post and read a bit about each palette below.
When Marnie Was There Natural settings are highlighted in both palettes for when Marnie Was There. Each still’s location is vibrantly represented. From the yellows and bright greens in the forest to the bright blues and turquoises of the seascape, there is a clear intention to let the environment take center stage.
Ponyo One of the more boldly colorful and childlike films, Ponyo masterfully combines a multitude of bright colors fitting for its universe. There is also an inherent softness to the colors that helps them all blend together, despite their boldness.
Laputa Castle in the Sky The palette for this still from Castle in the Sky shows a versatile way to paint a night scene. The purple and blue hues are inviting but suggest depth, action and contrast nicely with the characters’ faces. The overall palette communicates night-time without overusing dark colors and blends purple hues effortlessly.
Princess Mononoke Based on primary colors, this still from Princess Mononoke feels bold and eye-catching. By putting the character of San front and center and setting a mood with the fiery bold background, this still effectively communicates emotion through its palette.
Spirited Away Spirited Away carefully combines dark and light hues and a contrast of colors to tell its story. The interior of the train feels cold and foreboding and uses darker tones of bright colors (reds, purples) to give the audience a sense of the unusual. The outside is vibrant and clear, using blue to create a peaceful and bright atmosphere.
Only Yesterday This still from Only Yesterday captures a mood through its use of color. The peaceful and beautiful setting is achieved by combining mostly blues, greens, and yellows in both the field and the sky, unifying the frame and reflecting a sense of peace.
