Hehe, I love how they dubbed Totoro aswell. Many people have trouble watching dubs, but this one actually has some solid voice acting.

Despite the Shinto belief in the sacredness of all elements of nature and the existence of nature spirits for things like mountains and rivers, Japan followed quickly in the footsteps of nations like the U.S. in becoming a highly industrialised nation, to the detriment of its forests and rivers.

The message of the struggle of the spirit of the land to exist despite the overwhelming misuse of humans is integral to both this and other Miyazaki films like Tonari no totoro. Fantastic films, both, with a great environmental message.

Starbucks next addition.
Always wanted to try it, of course, that's Modus Operendicus, baby.....

HAH! "The Qatbus has just arrived".....Totoro smokes crack!!!!

I love all of them! Pom Poko, My Neighbours The Yamadas, Porco Rosso and My Neighbour Totoro! So many

Ohhhh Totoro...better in the original, this film is quintessential Japanimation,...kids love it sure, but doesn't it take the adult in you back to the land within??

Catbus. This move taught me the word.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I haen't seen this, but my favorite anime is tonari no totoro.

Is it the Nekobus from Totoro ?

Actually Daphne you are mistaken, the background of Grave of the Fireflies is more tragic in reality, the anime is an adaptation of the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka, intended as a personal apology to the author's own sister. And was written and directed by Isao Takahata for Studio Ghilbi. Hayao Miyazaki wasn't directly involved in this, something I could clearly make out as he would never make a story that's this tragic.

Hayao Miyazaki is the Hans Christian Anderson of the animated medium. When I first discovered his films, not only was I blown away by their plot lines and quality but the sheer number of them... Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle...

If you liked Grave of the Fireflies I would highly reccomend, Pom Poko by Isao Takahata.

By the way I watched Grave of the Fireflies only once in my life. But it's effect was so deep that I cannot bear to watch it again anytime soon.
