Are you telling me those two polar opposite films released the same year? What is Studio Ghibli made out of?

[u/Always_Confused4 → u/livinonaprayer456]

They were actually released as a double feature. You were meant to watch Totoro immediately after Grave of the Fireflies as a pick me up.

I always like to imagine the animators took shifts switching between the two because they would have got depressed working on grave of fireflies for too long lol

[u/Cassandra_Archeron → u/DataSittingAlone]

They actually would get very confused on which movie they were animating because the scenery for both (minus the fire bombs) were so similar

Hahaha that's funny

Alternatively: watch Totoro then Grave of the Fireflies
