120. Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

Movie 120 on Metacritic’s all time movie list. This week, we review Grave of the Fireflies (1988), Isao Takahata’s devastating war-time animated drama from Studio Ghibli. Tsutomu Tatsumi and Ayano Shiraishi voice Seita and Setsuko, two siblings struggling to survive in the aftermath of the firebombing of Kobe during World War II. With harrowing scenes of loss, resilience, and the collapse of innocence, this film raises haunting questions about the human cost of war and the fragility of childhood. If this is a “cartoon,” why are we crying into our popcorn before the opening credits finish? Listen now to find out!

Join Colin & Niall as we embrace the weird, the wonderful, and the downright awful of cinema!
