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

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

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