So did you know it's Golden Week in Japan now?
Well it's May 3 and this day is Constitution Memorial Day. Essentially during this time in 1947 Japan the constitution was enacted.
Hey lazy, what does this have to do with Ani-May you are asking.
Probably not but I prefer to think someone is thinking it.
Well I do enjoy a theme so let's do end of WW2.
I have two this time.
One that many have seen and it's properly sad.
Grave of The Fireflies ( 火垂るの墓 Hotaru no Haka)
This film was made by Studio Ghibli and released in 1988. The story follows the spirits of two siblings who as they board a train (ghost train) and reminisce how they survived the bombing of Kobe.
The first time I saw this movie I didn't see from the beginning so I didn't realize the children were already dead.
I would always suggest people watch this movie.
My second anime choice for this day is actually one released in 1947.
this animated short is called
Muku no Ki no Hanashi ムクの木の話
created by Maruyama Shouji.
The film seen below thank goodness to whomever uploaded it to youtube.
Well that's all for today!
