Grave of the Fireflies...

5 stars

26 Sep 2018

Grave of the Fireflies is the most emotional and amazing movie I’ve ever watched. The characters are created so well just to match the absolutely beautifully drawn and well thought out background and scenery. The art and animation is phenomenal, smooth and beautifully done. As a person that draws for the majority of my time I have a soft spot for the gorgeous artwork. The use of colouring portrays the mood wonderfully showing, matching either hotter colours for a dangerous scenes or caring scenes between the siblings, Seita and Setsuko. In this movie we see Seita desperately care for himself and his sister during the tragic events of World War 2 affecting Japan and its nation. I highly recommend this movie by Studio Ghibli and I’m telling you here right now.. bring some tissues.
