We are back, back, back, again just in time for the tail end of summer with a real tearjerker. Today on Anime Was (Not) A Mistake we talk about 1988's war torn Grave of the Fireflies. This film has been lauded as one of the most poignant antiwar films in existence and for an animated film, it's difficult not to get emotional when watching. Join us as we discuss the horrors of war, the symbolism of firefly light, and ponder how we would react if placed in Seita and Setsuko's shoes. Will we cry, live on the air? What are we fighting for? Why do fireflies have to die so soon? The only answer we can muster is to keep a box of Kleenex and aa case of Fruit Drops close at hand.
