W baśniowym świecie narysowanym delikatną kreską Studia Ghibli ukryty jest wojenny dramat dwójki bohaterów, nastoletniego Seity i jego czteroletniej siostry Setsuko, próbujących po utracie rodziców przeżyć we wstrząsanej wojną Japonii. Podążając za rodzeństwem coraz trudniejszą ścieżką film stawia pytanie o granice współczucia i wrażliwość na drugiego człowieka w czasach zagłady. (Mayfly)

Either I'm a total cynic or I don't know, but this film, despite some of its undeniable qualities, struck me as a vulgar emotional blackmail that was laughable at times. Quite often, actually.

"Why must fireflies die so young?" If Isao Takahata didn’t push so awfully hard on a tear-jerking note, Grave of the Fireflies would have been in a higher category. This way we get a beautifully animated, emotional blackmail movie that is so openly sentimental that you soon get sick of it. Maybe the expressions “all things in moderation" and “less is more" don’t translate well into Japanese. On the other hand, I grudgingly admit that it really works in some places. And at those brighter moments, it is doubly disappointing that the whole movie isn’t like that.

I can't say this film blew my mind, but my emotional state during it was like a seesaw, with the difference that I stopped exactly at the point when your stomach clenches and the pleasure of being swayed pushes everything else out of your head for a tiny moment. Takahata has really pulled it off, and with this magnificent work he has equalled even the incomparable Miyazaki – if not in creative imagination and premise, then in the resulting impact. And Mamiyai's music was so good, it was like listening to Ennio Morricone in his prime. Amazing little film, where are all the Oscar nominations and the hype? 100%

I'm not exactly a die-hard anime fan, but this film turned out to be quite an interesting experience, showing the horrors of war without the use of excessive violence. What intrigued me most was the portrayal of the Japanese characters, who weren't depicted as downtrodden victims of a vastly superior enemy. Instead, keen observers will find expressions of blind faith in the empire's victory.

An incredible example of how powerful animated films can be, how they can present adult themes, and how cuteness can easily transform into something terrifying that takes your breath away. Grave of the Fireflies is a very depressing film, but it demonstrates the power not only of Japanese animated movies, though primarily of them.
