Watching Grave of the Fireflies and like it's a really sad story so far, i'm like 18 minutes in and really invested, but also the art design makes like every character looks so fucking old like the child looks like she's fucking 30 years old and like i get that that's an artistic choice to show how the war is affecting these people or whatever but also my brain is like not processing their actual ages so it's kind of annoying

#james talks #james watches stuff #grave of the fireflies #studio ghibli #as Japan was one of the axis my sympathies with Japan isn't endless BUT a people are not their government so like. yk.#this already feels way more nationalistic than anything in Miyazaki's filmography so far and it makes sense he didn't make this #but yeah feel really bad for the people #no real sympathy for the ones cheering on and siding with the nazis
