Title: Graveyard of the Fireflies
Post by: Lise on Nov 15 06 04:31
Anyone seen this anime? It's so incredible and I highly recommend this. Be warned! It'll make you weep like a baby.

  Graveyard of the Fireflies tells the story of two siblings born in wartime Japan. If you've never ever seen an anime, I would start with this one. The story is heavy but powerful.

Hmm.. heard good things about that one. Isn't it done by that same guy who did Spirited Away?

If it's a Miyazaki (Spirited Away, etc) film I'd love to see it. (I just looked it up and it's from his studio (Ghibli), but not by him) The guy's a true master. Looks worth a rent.

Oh, definitely give it a try, FC. It's one of the best anime I've seen in a long time and I'm not the kind that cry myself silly over anime.

  Miyazaki is a true genius indeed. Have enjoyed his works over the years and look forward to seeing more.
