火垂るの墓
Japanese anime films from the 1960s onwards addressed national memories of war. "Akira" (1988) moves from the atomic destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to apocalyptic visions of global conflict; "Grave of the Fireflies" (1988) is elegiac on the effect of war on children. "Barefoot Gen" (1983) portrays the bombing of Hiroshima through the eyes of a child, but reviewers consider it a less well made film than "Grave of the Fireflies" with "stomach-churning detail" bizarrely paired with crude artwork, giving it the look of a "Saturday morning Warner Brothers cartoon".
