Hello everyone and welcome to The Greatest Thing About Grave of the Fireflies… Ben threatened us for years with this movie, and we’ve finally done it! Ben isn’t on an island, per say, but Zac and Lauren pushback on his ranking and level of greatness on this one. Still, a spirited discussion about an important film in anime history.

This release is part of animation month, as we clear out a bunch of animated films from the backlog!

Download. Listen. Enjoy!
