Greetings from Lithuania.
"Hotaru no haka" (1988) is a very good animated movie. It's surely not for children, especially not for children of this generation. "Hotaru no haka" is for adult viewers, who will find here many things that were touched by war. It's a sad story, not inspiring one.
Overall, "Hotaru no haka" is a really good movie. It's perfectly paced, it's storytelling is good and it has some truly moving and sad parts. If you in for this stuff, "Hotaru no haka" (aka "Grave of Fireflys") is surely not to be missed. It's not the best animated movie of all time, but it's a very compelling one.
