No-Face Reviews

Anime: Spirited Away

Here we go.

No Face is perhaps the modern face of Studio Ghibli.

His ominous grunts, non-binary spectral form, and grotesquely horrifying other-side, made him one of the coolest and grittiest characters the studio had to offer.

He’s lonely, unable to communicate beyond a basic level, and frightening to most. Once the greed and gluttony of the bathhouse consumes him, he transforms into a monstrous creature, proving he’s just a reflection of those around him.

His story arc is a complete yet enigmatic one.

And that only adds to the unusual allure and mystique surrounding his character. One of the greatest characters Studio Ghibli has to offer.
