Grave of the Fireflies

Thursday, January 17, 2008

I watched this one when I was home sick on Thursday, as part of my K2K. I have often seen it referred to as one of the best animated films of all time.

Well, I can say I liked this one quite a bit, but my experience of it may have been tainted by all the hype. I was expecting to have more of an emotional reaction, but it didn't make me feel much. My appreciation of the film was a lot more distanced than I thought it would be... I admired the craft of it a lot, but didn't respond much

Again, though, I was pretty sick. And I suspect that if I had been in better condition when I watched this, I would have reacted more. So this is probably one I'll have to see again some day.
