Realistic, haunting and very gripping. Studio Ghibli manages to deliver a masterpiece with this. I'm not surprised it's in the IMDB top 250.jurrianheck
A real tear jerker. Not really my kind of of movie, but well done, very realistic!gever85
I would never believe to cry like a hell for an anime…I did…PolarCow
I was crying 4 minutes into the film - it’s that good/sad... Really heartbreaking!stefenemie
Well, that hurt. I knew a bit more than I should have going in, but it doesn't really soften the blow. As many have stated, it is a beautiful, almost breathtakingly beautiful, film. But it packs a punch. An incredible meditation and commentary on war and the selfishness that seems almost inherent in all societies.Siskoid
Grave of the Fireflies is an early Ghibli classic, uncharacterstically down to earth, about a teenager who is forced to take care of his kid sister in the wake of the U.S.'s fire-bombing his town during World War II. The sensitive semi-biographical account of civilian life in the final days of the war in Japan strongly reminded me of another - Barefoot Gen, made five years earlier and also about a pair of siblings in that era. Gen was at Hiroshima, which means that film was more of a horror show, but Grave of the Fireflies is no less sad and shocking, and by a certain measure more thoughtful in its treatment. Presented as a ghostly memory that takes on more meaning on second viewing, we accompany Seita on his tragic journey to keep his family safe while he waits for a father who may never come back. Today considered the high water mark among anime studios, Ghibli started off strong indeed. Takahata's film was released in 1988, two years after Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky and the same year as My Neighbor Totoro.Blade22
