It's gotta be Grave of the Fireflies right? It's not one I rewatch too often, because it doesn't have the feel-good factor, but it's quite emotionally gripping.
Grave of the fireflies is a great movie. I can't argue with that. But it's not my favorite just for how depressing it is. I saw it once and I doubt I'll ever watch it again. From Up on Poppy Hill or Only Yesterday probably stand as my favorites.
I enjoy Grave of the Fireflies but I think I like The Cat Returns more since the lack of heavy subject matter makes it easier for replays.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
The Cat Returns is a great film with many little details in it that kept me entertained even after I saw it multiple times : )
You know, The Cat Returns has really grown on me the last few years. I can say the same for my daughters. They weren't especially into it the first time they watched it, but it gripped their attention the more they've(we've) watched it.
I should probably rewatch Grave of the Fireflies someday. My default answer is probably The Cat Returns.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
