If this movie doesn't make you cry, you either lack a soul, or tear ducts.

This is one of those animes, that if I ever confronted a person who despised anime because they believe it lacks
substance, I would show them this movie. At some point while watching this, it completely forget that I'm watching an
anime; the characters are amazingly human, the symbolism is heartbreaking, and the animation, the details, even the
character's movements are a complete work of art.

If you've never seen this film, do yourself a favor and take the time to watch it. My appreciation for the art of
animation instantly multiplied after watching Grave of Fireflies.
I don't usually watch anime movies since I don't have the patience to sit throught an hour and a half watching the same thing but my friend told me this movie was lovely and I decided to give it a shot...and to be honest, it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen
I guess "Grave of the Fireflies" is a very popular movie, despite being an "oldie" but if you have not seen it, please, save some time to enjoy this masterpiece, it is simple stunning, it is one of the few shows to make me cry so much as it did, at the end (Which I will not spoil, it is up to you to see it with your own eyes)
There's alot of stories about war and it might seem common to see them but unlike those shows, this movie is focused on the "survival" of the main characters, the hard-ships they go through just to try and live another day, striving for something better than what is given in their current Present
One of the things that made this movie so emotional was the fact that the main character had a sister and had to take care of her all alone, with no money, he had to steal and often endure beatings just to give his sister a bit of food to eat, another thing was how cruel some people could be even when others are suffering (For example, their aunt)...
It is a very sad movie, it seems cruel but you really, REALLY, have to watch it, it was simply stunning and it will always leave a little piece of it in you, you can't help but love it
This was just perfect in my point of view and it is a shame if people have never layed eyes on "Grave of the Fireflies"
{ This Show Reminds Me Of }
• "Ima, Soko Ni Iru Boku" / "Here and There, Now and Then" (Concept seems the same)
• "Hadashi no Gen" (Same concept, about war and tragedies)
One of the best stories ever! It is I think the most touching story I've watched. I also watched the 60th anniversary movie special of this and it was just as beautifully done. If you haven't watched this I think you are missing out on a masterpiece :)
duhqueenmoki rated 9.50:xtremely sad. that's all I can really say. These two children are amazing for surviving as long as they did. As tears streamed down my face during their last moments I began to reflect on my own life and how much better off I am than others. This tragic story of a brother and his little sister will touch your heart, I guarantee it! Yes it's sad and even depressing, but it's also a depiction of the struggle of what many children face and if we ignore that then... well you know.
SnickerdoodleNinja rated 8.00:This is one of those movies that everyone should probably watch once in their lifetime because it is a truly great, heartwrenching movie. However, it was so depressing that I will probably never watch it again because I don't want to put myself through the emotional anguish again. Some people may think I'm exagerating, but this movie is one of the few things that has actually had that sort of effect on me.
