I watched Grave of the Fireflies yesterday and it completely broke me. It’s such a touching, heartbreaking story about pure sibling love — an older brother doing everything he can to protect his little sister and keep her happy through the war time. I was crying from start to end. Beautiful and impossible to forget.
