"Dayum. Absolutely devastating. There’s something haunting about seeing horrific events based on reality in an animated form. Grave of Fireflies has a way of connecting to some aspect of the human condition that a live action film never could."

"Five stars but you may never want to watch it again. So sad."
Jennifer Anderson
"I disliked this one because I hate how sad it is. I love how sad it is? I dont know. It is just so depressing I dont want to think about it ever again. I think I'm glad I watched it though. I will tell you to watch it in the same way that somebody will tell you to eat a ghost pepper. "
