i read the entire wikipedia page of the movie before watching it so i wouldn't get hit by the ending, but it didn't prevent me for weeping and getting devastated. plus, i watched it few weeks after my aunt passed away. so... ghibli animations are gorgeous, but never again with grave of the fireflies

You've probably watched this movie, but it never fails to make me cry. The animation is just beautiful. i died dead, came back to life and died AGAIN. 10/10.

Okay, to say I ”liked” it would only be a half truth. I guess I liked how emotionally impactful it was for me, as well as the (studio Ghibli, so, expectedly) incredible animation. But man, was it a tough watch! It is so different to any other anime film I had watched up until that point. So raw and graphic and tender.

i have cried every single time i have watched this film, and i think as i get older i'll find new moments and ways to do so!! it is impeccably made and incredibly tender. immense care was clearly put into capturing the minutiae of life, the weight of gestures, the movement of wind, etc. this all makes the emotional weight of thing that much more brutal!! growing up is hard, watching someone grow up is hard, being alive is hard!! but its so beautiful. yet its so painful that is it always both. (ㅠ﹏ㅠ)・。
