Grave of the Fireflies
-
I just watched this for the first time and I feel like it cut a piece of my soul out and served it to me for dinner.
10/10 would suggest it, if you haven't seen it.
Grave of the Fireflies
In the aftermath of a World War II bombing, two orphaned children struggle to survive in the Japanese countryside. To Seita and his four-year-old sister, the helplessness and indifference of their countrymen is even more painful than the enemy raids. Through desperation, hunger and grief, these children's lives are as heartbreakingly fragile as their spirit and love is inspiring.

Why do you want to inflict pain on others?

This was the first anime I ever saw. I had no idea why people liked the genre after it.
I got the VhS at a goodwill.

The rule of grave of the fireflies is that everybody has to watch it, and then everyone has to recommend it to other people, but never watch it again.

I watched it a few years ago and all I could think of was how the kid was responsible for most of the problems he ended facing. Sad? Yes. But a "YOU are making a bad situation worse" sad, because the boy wanted to "prove" he could be an adult, despite being a 10yo with a younger sister to care.
Seriously, his aunt complained he was just hanging around, playing all day and not helping. His reaction? "You old hag, I don't need you!"

I've had a copy of it for about ten years now and still haven't watched it.
I plan on it, but I know enough about it that I know I have to be in just the right mood.

Oh she was terrible to them though.

He didn't start to try and take care of the sister on his own until after she robbed him.

Same, I've also had it waiting on my storage drive for about a decade. My wife also said that it's good, but she will not want to see any of it again lol

Try "Dear Zachary". It's the best documentary I will never watch a second time.

Just like Requiem for a Dream, though that's not anime.

I've only seen that movie once and I can't watch it again

If you’ve got it in you, you could head on out to your nearest Asian supermarket and there’s a chance they carry the same, if not similar, tin of hard candies you can buy and cry eating.
They even sell them with Setsuko on the tin.

I went through a ghibli catalog watch while travelling in Japan one time, including Hiroshima peace Park (another "do once" thing. On the flight home I watched grave of the fireflies for the first time. I do not recommend watching it on a plane in public, when most everyone is sleeping so you try (fail) to keep your ugly sobbing to yourself.
Great movie
