Very appealing art style and character designs.It's an emotional experience so powerful that it forces a rethinking of animation.Undoubtedly the saddest film that Studio Ghibli has ever created.Seita and Setsuko's deceased spirits arrive at their destination, healthy and happy, and sit on a bench surrounded by fireflies overlooking present-day Kobe. He carries her ashes in the candy tin along with his father's photograph. Seita cremates Setsuko's body and her stuffed doll in a straw casket. He hurries to cook, but she dies as he finishes preparing the food. Seita returns to the shelter with a large quantity of food, but finds Setsuko hallucinating. He also learns that his father, a captain in the Imperial Japanese Navy, is probably dead, as most of Japan's navy has been sunk. As he leaves the bank, he becomes distraught when he learns that Japan has surrendered. In a panic, Seita withdraws all the money in their mother's bank account. When Setsuko falls ill, Seita takes her to a doctor, who explains that she is suffering from malnutrition. When they run out of rice, Seita steals from farmers and loots homes during air raids, for which he is arrested but released. She buries them in a grave, asking why they and her mother had to die. The next day, Setsuko is horrified to find that the insects have died. They release fireflies into the shelter for light. Seita and Setsuko leave and move into an abandoned bomb shelter. As rations shrink and the number of refugees in the house grows, the aunt becomes resentful of the children, saying they do nothing to earn the food she prepares.
