About this product

Product Information

In post-World War II Japan, a janitor finds a deathly ill boy lying beside a metal candy container. The janitor unwittingly tosses the possession into the night, beginning a most unusual tale of survival set amid the atrocities of war in the Animé GRAVE OF FIREFLIES. Brother and sister Seita and Setsuko, ages 14 and 4, flee their disheveled home and deceased parents to make their bid for a new life. Before American troops begin to occupy their country, the children resort to dwelling in an abandoned bomb shelter in the countryside. Though these siblings later get a sense of safety, they realize necessities such as food and water will not be easy to come by.

There are few sellers that can make you feel like you've just been welcomed into a home and offered a soft chair in front of a fireplace...over text exchanges. That's how friendly this seller is! Quality products, prompt shipping, reasonable negotiators, great packaging, products as advertised...I could not ask for a better seller! Have done business with them in the past and, should the right product end up on their page, will happily do business in the future! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Masterpiece of the tragedy of war.

    Great World War II survival story. The characters are so real, I forgot after a while it was an animated film. Heart wrenching story of children caught in the horror of the atomic bomb dropped on Japan. Overflowing with honest characterizations of ordinary people suffering the overwhelming tragedy of a corrupt government"s greed and lust for power. A genuine masterpiece.

    grave of the fireflies

    grave of the fireflies is one of the most moving and powerful films i have ever seen. this movie takes place in WW2 times in Kobe Japan. The story is about a 14 year old boy named seita and his younger sister setsuko. In all the war's chaos they lose their mother in am air raid fire bombing, their father is serving in the japanese navy, and the 2 children are forced to survive on their own. Seita although young had to grow up much to quickly, finding shelter in caves, and is reduced to stealing just to feed his younger sister who is suffering from malnutrition. This film really shows the meaning of the word "struggle" and is depicted in it's most depressingly raw form. 2 children surviving during war with only eachother to hold on to. This film is a semi-autobiography from it's author: ...

    A Well Done Masterpiece

    I have never seen an anime quite like this one. It is filled with many emotions such as happiness, sadness, love , despair, you name it. It runs like a real movie, no magical beings in this one, excluding the fireflies of course. The struggle of a boy and his sister is the main topic of this movie which is a powerful one I'd say because they have to survive on their own. The big brother who is just a child himself has to take the role of an adult and take care of his sister. The animation is beautiful and eye catching. You won't want to miss a minute of this movie. It sends a powerful message about our own lives and to appreciate what we have. Ebert (movie critic) gave this movie two thumbs up and said that it is "the greatest war movie ever made". I agree that this movie is not only ...

    First seen the movie back in the late 80's. I was probably 9 or 10 yrs. old, I didn't quite able to get the whole story then.... probably for having it on Japanese Language and have to read the Captions below, by doing that, I have missed all the subtle scenes that is depicted mostly by gestures..... I am now 33 yrs. old... I encountered the Movie again when I was browsing at a video rack, while waiting for my Wife as she pays what she got. I saw the DVD, title was diffent on how I remembered it, bought it, and saw it again for the second time... these time I am watching with my family, took a glance at my Wife and saw tears rolling down her, my 8 yr. old Son too was sobbing, telling me why is that Cartoon so sad.... to make matters short, I just want to say that, seldom we see movies like ...

    Very moving film, the loss and torture of war

    Grave of the Fireflies is a movie that will traverse into your soul and make you feel for the characters on screen. The believability of the characters and the perfectly paced plot slowly drowns the viewer in sorrow and grief as they watch a family, as well as a country, fall victim to the absolute horrors of war. This movie WILL make you cry unless your heart is made of steel. Even though the movie itself is gut-wrenching, the animation and the message portrayed are absolutely beautiful. This is definitely one of Studio Ghibli's best films and without a doubt Isao Takahata's defining masterpiece. I highly recommend this movie, not just to anime viewers, but to all viewers.
