Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
In the latter part of World War II, a boy and his sister, orphaned when their mother is killed in the firebombing of Tokyo, are left to survive on their own in what remains of civilian life in Japan. The plot follows this boy and his sister as they do their best to survive in the Japanese countryside, battling hunger, prejudice, and pride in their own quiet, personal battle.

I cried about it, but I don't really like it as the story just doesn't feel right.
It has a bit of story, but it feels rather weak for a Ghibli film and it just doesn't have the excitement or magic of the other Ghibli films :(

This movie is so deep, so profound, I do not only cry every and every time I watch it, but I start to cry just remembering it (idd I'm almost right now).
A very good movie!!!!!! Underrated! But, Ghibli at its best!
I watched Grave of the Fireflies in the mid 90's and was deeply moved. I watched it again in 2004, then having a 4 year old son, and found it profoundly painful in a way I hadn't before.
A remarkable achievement.
