it's sad how America had to either bomb Japan numerous times and possibly kill thousands of civilians, or let the Imperial Army take over Asia. things that the US had to do during war times were never easy for the commanders and generals. it was the only way to end world war 2
@BananaPhoPhilly Did you learn that in School? Normally it is not regarded "fair play" in war to target Civilians. What brought down the Japanese empire was not the bombing of civilian houses but the bombing of factories plus the destruction of their navy cutting off their supply to the troops fighting in the rest of Asia.

@BananaPhoPhilly That is of cause not to throw any blame on the American population neither then nor now. During the war people on both axis and allied side looked at all means to win, and did not look at the opponent population as humans due to propaganda and fear among the population. Further my view on Grave Of The Fireflies is as an anti war film and not an anti American film.
@bigman1171 your a stupid trolling yank who hates this film just because from the Japanese point of view during WW2, and you can't tolerate America bring the bad guy (which isn't even shown in the film). P.S god probably doesn't exist, and if he did, he would hate you for being such a twat.
What I hear in his voice is a bit of denial at what he knows is coming. The last of his family is dying and within himself, he knows there's nothing he can do. But for the sake of his sister and that part of himself that wants to believe things will be okay, he stays upbeat without the desperation. Just a thought.
Whenever my 3-year-old niece gives something to someone, she always likes to say "I made it for you!" When I watched this scene and I heard Setsuko say the very same thing and sound almost exactly like my niece, my heart stopped beating for a few seconds. That's how strong this scene is.
@bigman1171 aww r u mad that ur god doesnt exist? ur the pathetic one moron ur just a weak panzy that believes in an invisible thing like a crutch cause ur scared and weak.
Ehhh you people and your preferences on the sub. I love both versions. They both have their strengths and weaknesses to me. I first saw the dub. I still sobbed at the end. I saw the sub and cried just as much.
hes only a kid (a fictional character) and he didnt know better. I wouldnt hate this (fictional) character. besides kids after they been starved for so long dont stand a chance of full recovery bc their body takes the nutrients out of their bones and soon their organs and their brain begins to fail. she was too far past saving.
@kingdomofthenight No. The English version had terrible acting and it bugged the hell out of me that most of the names were grossly mispronounced. Most English dubs are like this. I'll admit that Grave of the Fireflies had one of the better ones but it still took a lot away from the film.
Japanese anime with a really good English dub? Azumanga Daioh. The acting was really good in that one. Unfortunately, that's very hard to find. Usually it just doesn't hold up.
@kingdomofthenight I prefer the japanese version because the story is set in Japan, no other reason. If the story was set in Sweden I'd prefer the Swedish version. Nothing 'weeaboo'
wut u guys mean this is not as sad as in the japaneses version, i never seen the japanese version but heck this freaken made cry in the english version i bet the japanese is just the same.
@ggxxslash Not sure but I don't think it could be because she says to Seita when she starts to get malnourished she's been having diarrhoea - think it's just mud and she's hallucinating...
My god this dub is awful. Seita's voice is just wrong, he sounds like a twenty something year old instead of fourteen, and Setsuko sounds like a rejected rugrat. I truly love this movie, but I can't stand this dub.
I'm 18, and this is the ONLY movie that I will admit can make me cry. Jesus... if anyone needs proof that Japan has already surpassed the United States in animated storytelling, just show them this.
@mairusu1 Dude, you are pretty much told both of these kids are going to die early on in the movie. You only watch in hope the facts aren't as bad as they seem to be laid out early on (only to find out it's probably worse than you could have expected)
That's kind of the point. The reason the author wrote it so that he died is because he blames himself for his sisters death and thinks he deserved to die. He was apparantly surprised when lots of people sympathised with him.
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY!?! <:"(( SHE! she ate some food though why did she still die!?!
