It’s an incredible movie. I’m not sure how much you should know before going in, but I’ll say this: Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s animated - by the same studio as “My Neighbor Totoro”. (The two movies played as a double feature because not showing something lighthearted after Grave of the Fireflies would have been criminal negligence.) And the other comments are right - It’s not something you’re likely to be able to watch again anytime soon.
Grave of the fireflies
Even worse, it’s based on a true story. (The author preferred the movie’s ending)
It’s on my rewatch list since it’s been about twenty years, but I still can’t bring myself to doing so.
Same. It’s my favorite Ghibli film, but I have to get myself in the right headspace to be broken by it again.
Hmmm ok never heard of this one. Will have to add it to the list.
