NTV in Japan produced a live-action version of Grave of the Fireflies, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the end of the WWII. The movie begun airing on November 1, 2005 at 21:00 Japanese time. Taking a different direction than the anime, the live-action version of Grave of the Fireflies tells the story of the two siblings struggling to survive the final days of WWII in Kobe, Japan from the point of view of their aunt, how the war-time environment could change a kind lady to a cold-blooded demon, and stars famous Japanese celebrity and television actress Nanako Matsushima as the aunt. The movie is approximately 2 hours and 28 minutes long.

I wonder if it's as good as the anime...?

!!! True true.. I think one of the saddest movies I've ever watched! But I dared myself to watch it again the other day. Wasn't as sad anymore 'coz I already know the storyline LOL

Thing is I'm curious to know that the live-action movie is like because the actor/actresses they chose look quite close the the characters in the anime
