Grave Of The Fireflies

Searyx · 10-24-2003, 08:35 AM

I figure after watching Berserk, y'all need something happy to cheer you up, and I have just the thing!

Enjoy the film. It is, without a doubt, the greatest anime ever created (In my opinion, of course).

Right Click Here and select "Save Target As..." to download Grave Of The Fireflies.divx

For the video to work, you will need the Divx 5.05 codec (which will allow your movie player to recognize the video stream), which can be found HERE.

You may also need the Fraunhofer MP3 codec (which will allow your movie player to recognize the audio stream), which can be found HERE. To install: Run the file, click off all of the checkmarks, then select Audio Codecs, and checkmark the "Fraunhofer MPEG-Layer 3 codec" tab.

Downloading it now, looking forward to it.

Iannis · 10-24-2003, 09:36 AM

aw nards, already own that on my studio ghibli collection.

You want to cause a suicide or something don't you Searyx.

Saddest movie I've ever seen, by far.

Great movie though, downloading it to watch again.

Searyx · 10-24-2003, 10:13 PM

Everyones too busy crying to post

Keed · 10-24-2003, 11:44 PM

Been waiting for this. I was somewhat afraid to DL it. I don't think Searyx'll let me down, I'll check it out then post back here..

Eager Val'Sharess · 10-25-2003, 06:18 AM

Grave of the Fireflies is my "converter" anime.

I show it to people who think all anime is for kids and nothing good could come of it.

Searyx · 10-25-2003, 07:40 AM

A little off-topic. Forgive me.

So like... are you really a guy, Eager?

VelMonk · 10-25-2003, 09:11 AM

No she isn't =P

In all honesty, she's a hawt chixx0r. Go go 80's hair.

300 kb/s... nice.

Voron · 10-25-2003, 01:04 PM

Jesus Christ, I have never cried over a movie but I was bawling uncontrollably over this one. Amazing movie - not preachy or pretentious like 99% of hollywood drama, - but incredibly poignant and subtle in its sadness... I have a little sister too, so imagining...

I have one problem/question though: (SPOILER)

... Why did Seita wait so long to take out the $ from the bank?? It was available there all along...

Searyx · 10-25-2003, 02:12 PM

You're not alone, Voron. You're not alone. I can't watch the end without choking up. I think it has something to do with that beautiful Opera music played to the memories of Setsuko.

Why did he wait so long? He probably just didn't think of it. Afterall, he's 14. He's not mature enough to know what to do when you're on your own.

True Love · 10-25-2003, 02:52 PM

Thanks for hosting this one Searyx. I haven't seen it yet, from what I've heard it's very good, hopefully I can add it to the list of the few animes I really like...

How do people find sad movies enjoyable? They like crying and feeling like complete and utter shit after watching them? Thats what I felt like after I watched that thing. But hey, if you enjoyed crying like a little girl and feeling like crap, more power to ya. Whatever floats the boat.
