SPIRITED AWAY Complete Guide  Volume 1

SPIRITED AWAY

[Stay healthy. See you soon. Lisa]    


Chihiro is lethargic. ready to accept reality


Heading to a new school, this face

 


Dad should have turned back here.

This man-made object is called a torii. It is the boundary between the place where humans live and the realm of the gods. means the entrance


Audi is a very luxury car in Japan.The Audi is probably a good car, but it’s one I’ll never be able to afford. Chihiro’s family is said to be rich.

This is a car that I will never be able to buy.


Chihiro asks, “Are you okay?” Her father replies that the car is a four-wheel drive, so there’s no need to worry.

I don’t think Chihiro is worried about the car. she has a bad feeling

 


Chihiro is surprised.
She is probably more surprised that her mom and dad didn’t try to stop the car than that it was driving.


Chihiro notices something strange in the mountains as she passes by.

Chihiro notices a smiling stone statue.
Who do you think the statue is smiling at?

The outline of the tree is blurred to express movement.


This kind of father is in trouble.This kind of father is in trouble.

 


Father comes back to his senses.Mom was so shocked she couldn’t speak.


screech !!


 


 

 


The figure moves to the side mirror.


Her father is eager to go. Chihiro notices that the wind is being sucked into the tunnel. She has a bad feeling about it.


Chihiro is reluctant to go.

 


Izukuri is laughing at stupid humans.Chihiro refuses with all her might.


Her parents leave Chihiro alone.

Will you leave only one child behind? This may be abnormal in countries other than Japan. However, it is normal in Japan. If you don’t lock your car doors, nothing will happen.


But in the end, she ends up going with her parents.

I’m not good at drawing landscapes.Apparently the artist who draws the landscapes in Ghibli’s films is a professional landscape painter. No wonder he’s so good.

When Chihiro asks if she’s still going, a strong wind blows at her, which is a warning to them.


My mother, who had been reluctant until just now, says she wishes she had brought him a sandwich.


Parents who notice the smell of cooking


Chihiro’s parents neglect her and don’t care about her. I feel bad for Chihiro


The sign says draft beer


The sign above has words written on it that I don’t understand, “Hunger and Meals on Wheels.”


These foods may be prepared for the upcoming group guests.
It is normal to think that if the store staff comes, they will get angry.
It’s the same in Japan too.


Mom sat down, ready to eat.Chihiro looks at them from afar, as if to say, “I have nothing to do with these people.”


A knife is stuck in it.
Would you like to eat at this restaurant?This is also a warning to Chihiro and her family.


Her mother tells Chihiro that it’s delicious and that she should try it too.Chihiro is angry


Her father tells Chihiro that she has a cash card, so she’ll be fine. Chihiro isn’t worried about money. She’s worried that the restaurant staff will get angry if she eats the food without telling them. Chihiro is an adult and her parents are children.


I can’t hear you no matter what you say


Children are disappointed in their parents.
it’s over now.Poor Chihiro.


I thought it would be difficult to draw this picture, so I decided to stop drawing it. But I decided to draw it.


This was also hard


It must have been hard for the Ghibli staff.


 








While admiring the train


Haku is here.

We’re about 10 minutes into the movie.
The movie is 120 minutes long, so there’s still a long way to go.


End of volume 1 Continue to volume 2

I have drawn 10 pictures so far.
There are about 50 scenes.
Is it about 3 months?
The story continues, but Spirited Away takes a break.

From the producer

I draw about four scenes on a piece of paper. I’m editing it. If you draw this picture until the end of the story, there will be about 120 pictures. It may take 10 years, but I’m sure I’ll finish it until the end.

 

With the utmost respect for Ghibli and director Miyazaki, This website is produced
