Regardless of the setting and the time, maturity and development are key processes that reshape individual’s character. Although on the surface, Hayao Miyazaki’s film, Spirited Away and The Epic of Gilgamesh have nothing in common based on their different historical and geographical settings, they are tied together by the genre called “Bildungsroman”. A genre that focuses on the psychological and moral growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood, also known as a coming of age novel.

Spirited Away is an Oscar award winning, 2001 animated film from Japan, written, directed, and animated by Hayao Miyazaki (IMDb: Spirited Away). The story follows Chihiro, A young girl who is dealing with separation from family, tradition, and self-identity. Studio Ghibli films often have younger protagonists in their films, but in an interview with Miyazaki commented that “[he] felt [Japan] only offered such things as crushes and romance to 10-year-old girls” and that “ [Studio Ghibli] has not made a film for 10-year-old girls, who are in their first stage of adolescence” (Miyazaki 2001). Here, Miyazaki is signifying the lack of, what he sees to be, a proper presentation of a tweenaged girl. Miyazaki refrains from making the main plotline

The love story between two different teenagers that come from completely different worlds is the most remarkable. The Notebook is about two young teenagers who fell head over heels with each other. They got separated by Allie’s upper-class parents who insist that Noah isn’t right for her. But that obstacle didn’t stop these two young lovers from being together even if it took years. This beautiful tale has a special meaning to an older gentleman who regularly reads the timeless love story to his aging wife to help her remember what they went through and that the story that he’s reading to her was their love story. The story he reads follows two young

The story was a typical first crush situation. The girl in the story was in love with the guy that barely noticed her. She did whatever she could to see him, which included going to the store by her apartment where he worked. She thought she found love with a guy she had never even spoken to. It is universal, because it was a teenager who thought she had found love. It was her first crush so she thought that they would be together forever. It is also universal, because teenagers get weird feelings in their body that they cannot explain, when they are in love. It is typical of most teenager’s experiences, because they are nervous around people they like. They do not know what to say or do around people that they think they love.
