grave of the fireflies

Well fuck. Grave of the Fireflies absolutely ruined us. It's sad and now we are sad and you are probably also sad. Despite the heavy subject matter, we managed to have a good time and laugh a little. The film is an undisputed masterpiece as beautiful as it is emotional. Studio Ghibli definitely took an opportunity to present something singular and unique in their catalog with this story of Japan in WW2 and they succeeded - it's a must watch film. Watch it once, cry your eyes out, and never watch it again, but listen to us go through it on this episode and commiserate with us! 

SPOILER ALERT!!!Save this episode for later if you want to experience this show without a high-energy, often heated, very thorough discourse on it's high and low points. We cover each Anime from top to bottom, leaving no stone unturned. 

Later Shweebs!
-Mikey, Jay, and Jordy
