火垂るの墓 (Hotaru No Haka) or Grave Of The Fireflies is going into reality. With a release scheduled for this year’s summer. I am waiting for it. The animation was very good, well, very sad. I have high hopes for this movie.

Thanks mari

Recorded that movie last week and watched it just yesterday. Rated at 18 and mostly described as a polit-porno. Arte, a french/german broadcasting channel, aired this flick in a series of other movies. Arte calls this series Trash (more info here). Well, I’m still trying to get the logic behind this movie. Altough I did follow the story (…), laughed here and there, I didn’t mean to keep the recorded DVD for anytime longer (maybe that’s why Arte calls it trash). As of today I changed my mind a bit as I approched myself searching in a DVD-Shop for this movie. Why? I don’t really know. So, if you ever wanted to enjoy a japanese soft porno with a soft politics touch (spoiler: George W. Bushs cut-off middlefinger and a north korean secret agency are also involved) then watch Hanai Sachiko no karei na shougai.
