![Spirited Away [2 Discs] [DVD] [2001]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5371/5371545_sa.jpg)
Buena Vista Home Entertainment spared no expense or extra in the double-disc DVD creation of the animated, Oscar-winning Spirited Away. The remarkable aspect of these special features is how educational they are, providing much insight into this award-winning Japanese film. To begin, Spirited Away is presented in flawless 2.0:1 widescreen, enabling the richness of the animation to explode onscreen. The sound, presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 English and Japanese Surround, is flawless. A French Dolby Digital 2.0 track is also included. The featurette, "The Art of Spirited Away," is a must-see. It offers insight into the interpretation of the quite-symbolic film as well as stories about the trials and tribulations encountered during the translation process. Other extras include a feature on the dubbing process, a lengthy and star-packed Nippon Television documentary special on the film and how its key players worked to create the final product, a storyboard-to-scene comparison and 30 minutes of Japanese trailers for the movie.

I learned something new about Best Buy Reviews

Verified Purchase:Yes
So, apparently Best Buy allows you to only review a product once, as opposed to once per time you have purchased this product. This means you will only read this review a small fraction of the amount of times you really ought to.
Spirit Away makes a great introduction to japanese animation, "anime", and quality writing. Aside from the numerous copies I have had to purchase because of ex-girlfriends, roommates, seminar attendees, and raffle winners taking my copies, I have also used copies of this DVD as collateral in poker games (twice).
While it may seem strange and extravagant to purchase the same movie so many times without, you know, making a personal backup copy or something, the trouble is that you never *expect* that there will come a time when something happens to your copy of this movie. It either stays in the DVD player, or in the stack of DVDs you keep accessible at all times in case you need something that is endearing, family friendly, thought provoking, and universally acclaimed.
At this point, I just consider purchasing copies of this movie part of my yearly utilities bill, and hope that my next IRS auditor will have seen the movie themselves so that this story will make sense to them.

Ask yourself how you would react to returning home from a long journey to discover that you've been named Overlord. Would you have the wherewithal to accept the title? Would you have the courage to demand the respect the name implies? Would you do whatever it took to deserve the power of this position — even if it meant setting off on yet another perilous journey? If you don't already know the answers to those questions, Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness will quickly decide for you, the moment the role of Laharl becomes yours.Let your imagination and your PlayStation 3 take you to The Netherworld — a land where you're suddenly named Overlord, and where not one denizen of the land will accept your title. Become Laharl as he fights to gain the respect he deserves as Overlord and sets off on a new journey, accompanied by his questionably loyal servants. Along the way, you'll encounter surprises around every turn, including meeting a girl who claims to be your sister. Discover unknown secrets about your own body and face down diabolical demons with particularly large chips on their shoulders. The responsibility lies with you and the quest is yours to complete. Will you become the Overlord of The Netherworld, or will the detractors prevail?

Having only played 40 hours of this game, I do not feel as though I have played enough to give the pros and cons of this purchase, compared to many other people on the internet who have enjoyed this game far longer than myself.
Disgaea is a turn-based strategy game that has you throw satanic penguins at shrine maidens to make the demon council of the underworld pass your motion for goblins to wear cat-ears for the next three battles, among other things.
And for people who are familiar with the franchise, know that this product comes with the soundtrack.
Dood, pick this up.

What's great about it: Infinite Replayability if you enjoy this type of game.
What's not so great: You may lose your IRL job.

Make Sure to Pick Up The Cat Returns too

So, this is classic Studio Ghibli fair. If you know what that means, 'nuff said. If you're new to their work, try a google search first in another tab to be brought up to date on one of the best animation studios of the last forty years.
My only note and selling point for this movie that I feel like adding beyond that is that it is highly implied by this movie that the main character girl goes on to be the writer for the subsequent and equally high quality movie, The Cat Returns. You ought to watch both back to back for the full effect.
