As poignant, historical fiction, Grave of the Fireflies takes the viewer inside the culture and lives of Japanese citizens living through WWII. Preteen Seita, the central character in this beautifully animated film, narrates the misfortunate that befalls him and his adorable five-year-old sister Setsuko after their mother dies in the firebombings of Kobe. While waiting for the return of their father, a naval officer, Seita does his best to care for Setsuko as baisc needs become harder to obtain. Another gem of Anime from Studio Ghibli.

I’m not going to rate the anime less than 5 stars but bestbuy is sold me a dented case . It was the last movie available to purchase in Houston for 2020 and I didn’t want to wait till February to get it shipped . I picked it up on curb side pick up and I could have made it into a deal but I drove to far to pick it up .

One of the best films yet. It’s an emotional roller coaster, from start to finish. A touching heart warming yet again Tearjerker! You will cry and be moved by this film I guarantee!!! The impact it will have on you. I’ve watched the movie 3 times and it still pulls at my heart. It definitely captures the life of Japanese during WWII and the impact on the children. A truly must see film.
