Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no Haka) is a 1988 Japanese animated war drama movie written and directed by Isao Takahata. It is based on the 1967 semi-autobiographical short story Grave of the Fireflies by Akiyuki Nosaka. The show is regarded as one of the all-time must-watch anime movies. Netflix began streaming the movie in September 2024, and it describes the story:
Orphans Seita (voiced by Tsutomu Tatsumi) and Setsuko (Ayano Shiraishi) fight for survival in post-World War II Japan. But society is harsh, and they come to the somber conclusion that they can neither escape the hardships of war nor find enough food to survive. Named the Best Animated Feature at the 1994 Chicago International Children’s Film Festival, this film proves that not all anime tales are pixie-dust fantasies or brutal sci-fi standoffs.
You can pre-order the Grave of the Fireflies Blu-ray & DVD via Amazon, while the Limited Edition Steelbook is available on the Shout! Factory website.
