It takes a lot for a movie that affect me that much, and I agree that I likely won't see it again.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351431577484530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-9394961604806352262012-06-03T15:17:18.300-05:002012-06-03T15:17:18.300-05:00Good review.

While I can acknowledge how good it is because of the effect it had on me, I won't ever be watching it again. Whenever someone tries to tell me animated movies are only for kids I always suggest they watch this one.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-37526377781495294312012-05-22T22:38:36.965-05:002012-05-22T22:38:36.965-05:00It's cool, Eric.

No problem on the kind words; your blog is excellent.

Grave of the Fireflies is a difficult watch, but it moved me in a way that very few films do. You're absolutely right -- the fact that this is based on a true story makes it even more heartbreaking. Even though it is incredibly sad, this ranks as the best anime film I have ever seen, if not the best war movie period.<br /><br />Also, thank you for the very kind words in the intro. I really dig your monthly marathons, and I was pleased to be able to select an entry for this one.Erichttp://twscritic.comnoreply@blogger.com
