Graveyard of the Fireflies is one of the finest animated films I have ever seen and that includes everything by Pixar, Walt Disney and Hayao Miyazaki. It is such a clever and deep film that does not oversimplify things or go for a 'happy' entering just for the sake of it, telling the story of children in war-torn Japan as it probably was. I really must dig out and watch it again soon.
I also want to buy
Nausicaa, Valley of the Wind and every other Studio Ghibli film that is released on Blu-ray as I don't have all of them and would like a complete collection.
