The Grave Of The Fireflies poster was much darker than we realized
As anyone who has seen the film will tell you, Grave Of The Fireflies is sad as hell. Adapted for the screen and directed by the recently deceased Isao Takahata, the story follows two siblings in Japan during World War II who struggle to survive on their own after their home city of Kobe is destroyed by incendiary bombs. It’s the kind of movie you might watch because you’re starting to get into anime and think to yourself, “These Studio Ghibli movies are always pretty fun!” Next thing you know, your soul has been broken in two and you can’t stop crying. Now, on the 30th anniversary of the film’s release, some have discovered that even the film’s poster was darker than we realized.
