I didnt find a thread on the topic so here goes.
If you are a lover of 'My neighbor tottoro' and 'Spirited away and dont want your opinion to change on it, i VERY MUCH RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT READ FURTHER.
Ever Watched 'My neighbor tottoro' or 'Spirited Away'?
The cute, all happy kappy movie that everybody loves. Going with the flow of the movie loving the art and cutness to an
extent that many people forget to notice the ''off things''.
I just read about the theory, and though that it needs to be discussed, something new might pop up adding to my
info.
Lets start one by one.
'Spirited away' was a story about a girl whose parents eat the spirit's food and turn into pigs and
Chihiro is forced to work at a bath house to save them, here nae is changed to Sen.
Chihiro working in a bath house. Bath houses had a good business in japan, the male customers being the majority. The
women working in the bath houses dont only give the man baths but also give "other" services.

I RECOMMEND AGAIN, IF YOU WANT TOTTORO TO STAY AS HE IS DONT READ FURTHER.
'My neighbour Tottoro' was a movie(or seemed to be) about two girls who move to sayamacha and see a spirit
which only kids can see.
In real, the spirit is to be like a shinigami, if you see you will die dort of a thing. And the cat bus in which the
sisters sit is bus the travels between heaven and hell etc.
It is said that mei goes missing and dies. The older sister(forgot her name) wants to see(/find)her sister again, so she
calls tottoro who suddenly appears and takes him to his sister on 'the cat bus'. Get it.
