Grave Of The Fireflies
This is a epic anime, the kind that makes you wake up and think about the world we live in.
The drama and the cinematography could compete with any live action drama film in the west.
The art, lighting and stylish designs are a joy to behold, even though the film is very sad.
But in it's sadness a warmth shines through. The companionship between the two siblings is a bond that not even death can part. For the full awesome story, just press the "read more" link.
Setsuko and Seita are brother and sister living in wartime Japan. After
their mother is killed in an air raid they find a temporary home with
relatives. Having quarrelled with their aunt they leave the city and make
their home in an abandoned shelter. While their soldier father's
destiny is unknown, the two must depend on each other to somehow keep a
roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. When everything is in
short supply, they gradually succumb to hunger and their only
entertainment is the light of the fireflies.
