Grave of Fireflies.
Wow. That's a powerful movie. I realized that while I've seen countless Japanese movies and tv shows that have had blatant, beyond thinly veiled allegories relating to WWII, I've never seen anything that so directly addressed it. So seeing the war from that perspective for the first time added even more emotion to an already gut-wrenching story.
It is not an easy watch, but it's a stunningly beautiful film.
