Grave of the Fireflies 1988

A tragic and emotional journey supported by a World War II portrayal, those are always captivating. Without a doubt a quality drama that's emotional for most but maybe i'm heartless because this didn't do much for me. First off, you watch this knowing how it all ends sinse they show it to you. Everything that follows is just delaying the inevitable and it's made so predictable. Then it's misery after misery after misery... so much of it that it shoots itself in the foot and completely desensitized me before the ending. It could have worked if it was shorter with less of the misery scenes I think. A little more than half of it was incredibly effective though and I like the characters and it's heartwarming seeing Seita care for his sister. By the end I was just exhausted at all the misery and incredibly let down that it goes for the ending I saw happen in my head the whole runtime.
