Okay, so, I'm probably gonna get loads of flak for this, but I just watched Grave of the Fireflies, and, to be honest, I didn't like it very much. At the very beginning, it tells you that they died, so I wasn't very sad when they actually showed their death after their backstory. And again, to be completely honest, I didn't expect it to be so childlike. What I mean is that you'd expect a movie about a war to be gruesome and completely R-rated with gore and loads of sadness. This was more like a child decided to write a tragedy that was supposed to be sad, but ended up failing in that respect. I'll agree that the animation, character design, and background were way good, but what else do you expect of a Ghibli movie? Of course, I thought that, from how people were talking about it, that it would be heart-wrenching and stuff. For me, it was a pretty good movie, just not something someone would call a tragedy. I suppose it was probably just ruined from being over-hyped for me. I liked it, but I didn't love it, that's all I'm trying to say. :]
