I don't cry over movies or television. That being said, I almost broke down into an emotional wreck watching Grave of the Fireflies. If you want a sad anime, this is it. It's a Studio Ghibli (or maybe just Miyazaki, I can't recall). But it's not a kid's movie. It follows the lives of two children during the firebombing of Japanese villages during World War II. It portrays Americans as faceless destroyers but the movie isn't as much about political statement. The point behind the movie, in my opinion, is to show the horrors of war on a heavy emotional level, to show the upheaval and scars that war leaves behind. I can't recommend this movie enough.
