The Japanese animated film Grave of the Fireflies, which was brought to life by Studio Ghibli in the eighties, has landed on Netflix in the U.S. almost four decades following its debut. Written and directed by Isao Takahata, the war drama production is based on the 1967 short story of the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka which was released in April 1988. Years later, this phenomenal movie was revived with a 2005 live-action version, starring Nanako Matsushima and Mao Inoue, alongside a 2008 one starring Reo Yoshitake and Rina Hatakeyama.
