Grave of the Fireflies (1988) (Japanese)
Taking place toward the end of World War II in Japan, Grave of the Fireflies is the poignant tale of the relationship between two orphaned children, Seita and his younger sister Setsuko. The children lose their mother in the firebombing of Kobe, and their father in service to the Imperial Japanese Navy, and as a result they are forced to try to survive amidst widespread famine and the callous indifference of their countrymen (some of whom are their own extended family members). Some critics—most notably Roger Ebert—consider it to be one of the most powerful anti-war movies ever made.

very sad cartoon and i used to watch it when i was a kid! i love i! must download
I agree, a very said story. Tastefully done, one of the best vintage anime i’ve seen. the story made me angry though. I’ll only watch this once, im depressed enough as it is. but I’d recommend it.
