Apple iTunes has Grave of the Fireflies (Digital HD, Dubbed Version) on sale for $4.99.

Thanks to Deal Editor Discombobulated for finding this deal.
  • Note: This title is NOT Movies Anywhere (MA) Compatible.
About The Film:
  • In the aftermath of a World War II bombing, two orphaned children struggle to survive in the Japanese countryside. To Seita and his four year old sister, the helplessness and indifference of their countrymen is even more painful than the enemy raids. Through desperation, hunger and grief, these children's lives are as heartbreaking and fragile as their spirit and love is inspiring. Grave of the Fireflies is a tale of the true tragedy of war and innocence lost, not only of the abandoned young, but of an entire nation.
  • Common Sense Media Suggest Ages 15+. May not be suitable for younger children.

This is the best movie that you will never see a second time.

Since people are looking for quick presents: THIS IS NOT A MOVIE FOR KIDS.

This is one of those movies that leaves scars (for the better) and it will be with you for the rest of your life.
Good anime but one of the saddest there is for me.
This movie rekt me.

Sad movie, but a good one. Saw this in the theatres w/ my kids (teens) during a Studio Ghibli Fest [ghiblifest.com] years ago.

Update: My not be suitable for younger kids. Common Sense Media [commonsensemedia.org] suggests ages 15+.

This one isn't on HBO Max [hbomax.com], like other Studio Ghibli movies.

You took your kids??? Hopefully they were in their late teens at least at the time.

Yeah, as others have implied, it would be a great movie to rent, but I don't think you'll want to see it a second time

one of the most poignant and compelling films ever made, and it's animated. i know in western culture, we think of animation being meant for children - this is NOT the case in other cultures.

Roger Ebert did an *excellent* review here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9WEyuMq0Yk


i also think this movie is so important because you empthasize with the human condition without regard to who is friend or foe, they are all just people, or children, just doing what they are told to do in order to survive. and everyone involved just wants to go home to their family in peace without carrying out orders from the top to wage a war in which everyone loses but the rich and powerful

Agreed but I wonder what impact would be made if this film were shown in schools?
