Brother gave this to me ye gods I never thought I would shed a tear over something animated. Not done with it had to turn it off last night and should finish it tonight. Anyone else watched this? Anything else animated that is on par with this that you can recommend?
I have watched Castle in the Sky/Clouds, Princes Mononoke, oh and a handful of other animated films that never moved me past thinking "hmm interesting", but Grave of the Foreflies is (ok what I have watched so far) simply amazing.

Yeah, I don't know man. I think Grave of the Firefly's is probably just about the most depressing story I've ever seen across any medium.

Hrm, nothing I can think of that's moved me as much, no. That movie is just at an entirely different level from the rest of the animes I've seen.

It's on an entirely different level than any movie in cinema, forget anime. Leaves it in the fucking dust.

Grave of the Fireflies leaves you with that empty kind of sadness. Not like a Romance Sadness where you feel upset for the main character because they wouldn't share a floating door. It's that desolate feeling that gets me.

Your puking and debauchery should be seen as positive, a celebration of how far the Japanese and the people of the world have moved forward after the decimation and inhumanity of WWII.

This is easily the most powerful, moving film I've ever seen.

Over and out.

You'll never forget the movie once you've seen it, and definitely finish that shit tonight.

something came up should be able to watch it this weekend.
I watched The Fog of War, and yeah that was a pretty powerful film.
So the Fireflies stand alone it seems.

You call it an accident. I call it justice.

Just caught this oddly enough from a person at work. Off chance I looked to see if anyone on here experienced this beast. Incredible story

Quills is good.
Umm... Constant Gardener?
Neither of those have the emotional power of Fireflies, but they're good, moving films too.

Why don't you try our other games?
