Grave of the Fireflies
Amazingly beautiful and depressing as hell. Seriously, I'm not sure I've seen a more depressing film. And it's a fucking cartoon. It's about two young orphans struggling to survive in post-war Japan, but Oliver Twist this is not. Definitely one-of-a-kind. Watch only if you wish to have your heart broken.
I'm still not certain if I love it or hate it... it is certainly lingering with me.
8.5/10
