Has anyone watched the live action drama special for this? (starring Nanako Matsushima and Inoue Mao)
It is so emotional and sad, a real good tearjerker movie :puppydog:
I'm thinking of purchasing the anime version DVD now.
Can anyone tell me if the anime is as good as the live action?
Thanks :mrgreen:

The anime version of Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies) was good too. The movie version is a little different since the character played by Inoue Mao is not in the anime. I recommend that you watch the anime version too.

Yeah Grave of Fireflies is really good! >w<...it will really make u cry in the end. (i was the one who almost cried when watching that anime TT^TT)

i never knew there was a live version of it~
the anime version however, was extremely sad. I was practically crying my whole way through the movie... T.T
does anyone know where we can download the live and anime version?

You can download the torrent from D-Addicts and the subtitles from their subtitles section

Or go to spikiegirl.livejournal.com for megaupload links for the live version
I have also uploaded it on yousendit, but I don't know if it's legal to post a direct link for downloading doramas here :sweat:
If you want it, you can PM me though

^ do you have the file with hard subs? cuz i got mine from d-a with soft subs :sweat:

@muffy, the anime version has been licensed, im pretty sure you can buy or rent the dvd.

It was a TV movie, I think. Being a couple of times longer than the anime, there's quite a bit of material not in the anime, although the anime also has some bits not in the live action version. I've never read the (autobiographical) novel (is it even available in English?), so I don't know how faithful the two movie versions are to it.

"Oh My gosh!"

I didn't know of a live action versio either.
I bought the Anime DVD not knowing what it was about....There absolutley no ray of hope in this movie. NONE! Ahh.

Nonetheless, I still think it's a good piece.

Keep in mind while watching that the story is semi-autobiographical. The author (the main character in the movies) is devastated over what he let happen (in real life).
