Grave of the Fireflies - Limited Edition Steelbook Blu-ray DVD

When an American air raid kills their mother in the final days of World War II, teenager Seita and his younger sister Setsuko are left to fend for themselves in the devastated Japanese countryside. After falling out with their only living relative, Seita does his best to provide for himself and his sister by stealing food and making a home in an abandoned bomb shelter. But with food running short, the siblings can only cling to fleeting moments of happiness in their harsh reality. Based on the personal accounts of survivor Nosaka Akiyuki, Grave of the Fireflies is hailed as one of the most stunning contributions to animation and cinematic history. Deftly depicting the beauty of the human spirit as well as its devastating cruelty, Grave of the Fireflies is a singular work of art from Academy Award-nominated director and Studio Ghibli co-founder Isao Takahata.

Review snippets: GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES is very sad. Note that I say that the movie is sad, not depressing. A great film critic told me that great films aren't depressing. Only terrible movies are. He is right. Great films can make / For those who insist that cartoons of all forms, and particularly anime, are for children, I present you with Grave of the Fireflies. This amazingly well-done anime has some of the most touching, most depressing scenes I've ever seen on
