Playing Cards and Anime: Spirited Away Deck by agentmega

24 May

These playing cards are designed by agentmega (unfortunately his(her) tumblr blog was deleted). This is a project. I doubt the deck was printed (unfortunately). Cards are designed in agentmega’s distinctive style.

The deck is dedicated to Spirited Away anime. This Japanese animated fantasy film was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli in 2001. The film tells the story of Chihiro Ogino. She is a sullen ten-year-old girl. While moving to a new neighborhood, Chihiro enters an alternate reality inhabited by spirits and monsters. After her parents are transformed into pigs by the witch Yubaba, Chihiro takes a job working in Yubaba’s bathhouse to find a way to free herself and her parents and escape to the human world.

When released, Spirited Away became the most successful film in Japanese history (grossing over $274 million worldwide). The film overtook Titanic in the Japanese box office.
