For me it's Interstellar, it never fails to make me ugly cry at least twice during each viewing

Grave of the Fireflies.

If I can't be happy, no one will.

Seen it once, and never again. I will never recommend this movie to anyone.

I've seen it once, and I seem to be practically psychologically unable to cry, so rather than crying I walked around feeling like I was carrying a hundred pound millstone around my neck for about 4 days.

It's a beautiful movie with every last single one of the studio Ghibli traits that you have come to know and love.

But it's not a cartoon for little kids. I highly recommend that you watch it at least once if you haven't, just don't let your kids watch it until they are adults.

I haven't been able to find where to watch it, and can't seem to find a DVD copy on Amazon last I checked a few months back... Anyone know where one could watch this (preferably "remastered" for HD or whatever, assuming it ever got that treatment)?

[–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There is a small chance that it is on Disney Plus, but I don't have a Disney Plus subscription anymore so I can't verify, I just know that they purchased studio Ghibli.

It's one of the few so-called Ghibli flims I still haven't seen. Max has all of them, I think, but I don't think it has Grave of the Fireflies (last I checked). I don't know if that one is technically Ghiblli? I think it came out before Ghlbil technically existed, which is why I think it's often not included in these distribution deals.

I don't wanna be one of those but there were plenty of releases on torrent and usenet (for FHD).
So if you are willing to go that route, there are releases.

Yeah I know... I was looking for a blu ray copy

with all the shit I read about it I've grown wary. Not sure I could handle it. I cry just watching my kitten be cute
