It's literally just the biography of the author if he hadn't taken all the food and let his sister die

Takahata used to get angry when people told him Grave of the Fireflies was an anti-war movie. His intention was to denounce the current Japanese youth isolating from society and that they could only do it because there was a relative stability in the 80s. In case of a big disaster like an earthquake or a war, they wouldn't be able to survive by themselves
Because they would exactly behave like the adults in that cartoon. When the behavior displayed is nothing special to you, you look for meaning elsewhere.

I don't see you helping people who need it right now. You don't get to talk about adults being shitty. The brother was retarded and it was all his fault, anyways.
>>280882911 (OP) Why are retards so obsessed with a media's message? At the end of the day the work will transcend the message and if it hinged on it to be considered a quality work then it wasn't a good work to begin with.

Yeah sure let me just help random people without getting anything in return during a time of crisis instead of looking out for my own kin
>>280882911 (OP) Btw Miyazaki actually criticized Grave of the Fireflies, saying, “That story’s nonsense. There’s no way the son of a cruiser captain would starve to death. The naval community back then would never have let that happen.”
>>280883630 Yes, this is called "humanity" and it's how civilizations become great. The intellectually stunted and those from third world countries cannot understand the concept and drag the rest of mankind down with them.
>>280882911 (OP) >shitty adults can be when it’s “not my problem” that's American mindset that lead to these war crimes

>>280883982 Ah yes, this "humanity" that dictates that you must put people you have never met before your own kind. Absolutely not cucked and I'm sure it's exactly what happened in hard times in European countries (spoiler: it didn't)
>>280884117 Whether you're Ivan or Joao or Chang, Muhammed or Rajesh, your agitprop is embarassing. We're in a Grave of the Fireflies thread and you missed the message.
>>280884649 that he died was the one detail in the story that he changed he wrote the story as an 'apology' to his sister look it up

>>280882911 (OP) >shitty adults The story is about shitty kids, the author thought the adults were in the right. He thinks kids should put up with everything and have sex with their sisters.
>>280884671 Yes okay. Refugees welcome btw. Great humanity. Now I want no part in your cuckolding fetish so stop talking to me. Also there was no message as already stated, it's a biography.
