Hi ferod23,
It is one of the masterpieces that was created by Isato Takahata! It is also amazing that I use the station where Kanta died very often since I live in the area. The story is so real!
And, it is also cool to know that the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hideaki Anno was also one of the members who created "Grave of the Fireflies" and drew a battleship in the work. I believe that Mr. Anno learned a lot being a member of the creation of this masterpiece :)
Hello.
It is interesting to know all that because I did not know him: D and if he participated in that movie what he learned served him a lot because Evangelion is also a masterpiece.
Regards.
