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.

  • gr8 film

    Whether you interpret the bombing as the US firebombing or the US nuclear holocaust imposed on Japan in order to impress the Soviets as a prelude to the Cold War this film does a gr8 job of introducing the horrors of our war efforts without the often gruesome gore of war films; my students were turned off at first but "got into it" and actually asked me to rewind the film to the beginning so they could see it all! The use of anime in combination with smart details of war make it a wonderful vehicle for beginning discussions of war or US decisions during WWII.

  • Great Movie!

    Now as far as the movie goes, I found the case to Beverly a little used and the CD just a tad scratched. But, from the point of the movie, it is still the saddest yet beautiful movies I have seen.

  • One of the greatest animated films.

    This is a movie that should be shown in American schools. They don’t even teach us about the fire bombing.
