Sophie crying from Howl's Moving Castle
One of Studio Ghibli's most devastating films, Grave of the Fireflies, will soon be arriving on Netflix, but fans planning to watch this Ghibli classic had best come prepared, as the movie isn't for the faint of heart. The film's dark and depressing plot is notorious among the anime fandom, and many a fan who truly loved the film can't bear to watch it a second time.
It certainly stands out among Ghibli's mostly fantastical catalog for its gritty, realistic look at what the war was like for civilians. Originally living in Kobe, Seita and Setsuko are left orphaned when their mother is killed in a bombing campaign. After losing their mother, the children are forced to move in with a distant aunt who soon grows resentful of having to care for them. The situation continues to deteriorate from there, but the love of these two siblings never wavers. Struggling to survive and care for his younger sister, Seita gets into trouble, until their fates are ultimately out of their own hands.
