i just watched that movie for the first time yesterday(been wanting to watch it for awhile). damn that anime/story is hardcore. havnt seen an anime that made my emotions move like that before. maybe because my little girl is about the same age as the girl in the anime. plus i moved away from my little girl to start college that might have had a small part in it. or what but that story just hit me deep. everyone on here probably has seen it a hundred times but i just thought i should bring it up. i know of a lot of movies that deliviered deep emotions but not an anime so i though i would just spit this out here

I was pretty affected by it too. The 'life's not fair' portions of it are awesome.

Hell you just gave me the pimpingest idea for a music video. Thank you!

A great movie, I think you have to be in the right mood to see it though to trully appreciate the story... the only complaint I have is not really the movies fault but is limited by the fact that a movie can only be so long and so unlike a series which can really flesh out characters the movie didn't flesh out all the characters as I would have liked it to.

I recommend this movie, but be warned that even though it is a Studio Ghibli movie it was done by Tohru (I think that's his name) not Myazaki (spelling?) so its a different style of movie--so just because you like Myazaki films won't mean you'll like this... that said it is worthy of the Studio Ghibli name so don't just not see it because Myazaki wasn't directing.

Grave of the fireflys is a sad story.

I've just ordered my copy from amazon, do you guys recommend watching it in Dubb, or Subbed?

For some reason, the movie didn't really affect me until I watched it the second time.

Lets see how far we get before the anti-american war propoganda bombshell gets dropped.

I watched that movie before I was really into anime. My initial thought was "Damn! This cartoon sucks! I'm all depressed!"

But now that I think about it, it really was a "life's not fair" kind of story...it was really tragic...maybe I should stop thinking about it. It's depressing me again.

Definitely had an emotional impact on me.
