    Even though it’s a fictional, animated depiction of what happened near the end of the WW2 it’s depicting something that actually happened. I don’t think there’s going to be any problems in regards to separating fiction from reality with this movie.

    If anything, the movie is tame in comparison to the actual, real-world devastation of nuclear war.

      Grave of the Fireflies isn’t about the nukes its about the firebombings and the part with fiction vs reality means that they don’t understand that this was a long time ago. As said its appropriate for 12+ in my opinion. But below its just not.

        @YourPrivatHater @riskable Over 100,000 WWII vets are still alive, today. People are being bombed right now, shelled right now, having white phosphorus dropped on them, right now.

        None of this is a “long time ago.” It is within living memory.

          And? Are we now shifting the argument onto a strawman over the definition of long time?

          It was a average lifetime ago. And the other claims are irrelevant in that context. Its not changing the fact that grave of the Fireflies isn’t appropriate for small children.

            @YourPrivatHater Most seem to disagree. Child psychologists disagree. Ratings boards in multiple countries disagree. Kids who have, and continue to watch this movie in Elementary schools growing up healthily is big evidence against it being inappropriate too.

            Maybe you’re just wrong? Maybe folks shouldn’t hide the truths of the world from their kids?
