I watched this anime thinking that it was going to be like Spirited Away because it was made by the same director. The story was about a girl that is turned into an old woman by the evil witch of the waste. What a play on words. I normally really like anime, but this movie was a little off. I couldn't really follow the story, because nothing was ever really explained. Unlike the Alice in Wonderland type story of Spirited Away, this was like a romance novel. The girl had to look inside herself and find love in order break the spell. The ending was a little strange too. There was something about some war and then it stopped. I don't know. I was confused throughout the entire movie. I wouldn't recommend using it in your classroom. There wasn't any enduring parallels that could be made to the curriculum. If you really liked it, I hope you don't take offense. It's just one opinion.
