This is the animated film that changed how people saw the medium. Released in 1988 it tells of two victims of the Kobe firebombing in 1945. Adapted from a 1967 semi-auto-biographical novel.
The film depicts the suffering of war, the degeneration of a society in extremis and stands as one of the most moving depictions of love ever put on the screen.
Roger Ebert calls it the greatest anti-war film ever made. He may be right. Enormously sad and unforgettable.
