  1. I’ve watched “Grave of the Fireflies” exactly once. I don’t think I can do it again because that film is so damn sad, even the thought of it is just too much.

  2. Whisper Of The Heart didn’t make me cry but it made me smile and it became my 2nd favourite film. Grave Of The Fireflies is my 3rd favourite film.

  3. Don’t let Grave of the Fireflies be here. Don’t let Grave of the Fireflies be here. Don’t let Grave of the Fireflies be here.
    …Goddammit. This is on you, WatchMojo. What happens next is your fault!

  4. Grave of the Fireflies…?
    one of the Saddest movie,
    fighting with hunger and some good heart persons who help another, makes your heart cry..

  5. Are you crazy?! What about Akame Ga Kill, Or Charlotte? Those both had some of the saddest moment ever.
