Описание: The Normies react to Grave of the Fireflies, directed and written by Isao Takahata!! See Spidey, Rana, Marketa and Suraj give their review and cry their eyes out!!

In March 1945, American bombers destroy most of Kobe during the waning days of the Pacific War. Seita (Lucas Jaye) and his sister Setsuko (Luna Hamilton), children of an Imperial Japanese Navy captain, survive, but their mother dies. Seita conceals their mother's death from Setsuko. The siblings move in with an aunt (Ren Hanami). Seita retrieves a supply cache he buried before the bombing and gives everything to his aunt, save for a tin of Sakuma drops, which he gives to Setsuko. The aunt convinces Seita to sell his mother's silk kimonos for rice, which devastates Setsuko.

As rations dwindle, the aunt becomes resentful of the children. Seita withdraws some money from his mother's bank account to buy a charcoal stove and other supplies. The siblings eventually move into an abandoned bomb shelter. They capture fireflies from the marshes, releasing them into the refuge just to find them dead the following morning. Setsuko buries them, revealing their aunt told her their mother died.

The situation becomes grave when they run out of rice. A farmer catches Seita stealing crops and brings him to the police station, but the sympathetic policeman lets him go.

Setsuko falls ill, suffering from malnutrition. Seita withdraws the last of the money from their mother's bank account. He is distraught to learn that Japan has surrendered with his father is most likely dead. Seita returns to Setsuko with food and finds her hallucinating. She dies as Seita finishes preparing the food.

Seita dies of starvation a few weeks later at a Sannomiya train station surrounded by other malnourished people. A janito finds the candy tin and throws it into a field. Setsuko's ashes spread out, and her spirit springs from the container and is joined by Seita's spirit and a cloud of fireflies. The two board a ghostly train. Their spirits, healthy and content, arrive at their destination: a hilltop bench overlooking present-day Kobe, surrounded by fireflies.
