** At one point in the film, Seita and Setsuko's aunt points out they have relatives in Tokyo. Seita doesn't know how to contact them and even if he did, the chances are they would either be dead or no better off than him and Setsuko as Tokyo was firebombed on the night of March 9th-10th 1945, a week before the firebombing of Kobe, which is what forced Seita and Setsuko to go and live with their aunt in the first place.

* DeathOfTheAuthor: To be clear, director Takahata insisted that the film "contains absolutely no such message" about being anti-war. While Takahata himself held anti-war political beliefs, it wasn't what he was going for with this movie. Regardless, even if it was not intentional, there's a reason why so many people see ''Grave of the Fireflies'' as an [[WarIsHell anti-war film]]. The film shows World War II exclusively from the perspective of children, and yet they suffer all the same in a war they neither started, fought in, or even understand all that well. There is [[WarIsGlorious no glory to be found]] in what happened to them, only pain, suffering, and loss. The fact that the story is based on what [[BasedOnATrueStory Akiyuki Nosaka]] actually went through as a child only drives the WarIsHell vibe home that much more.
