* Seita's angry outburst at the doctor after Setsuko is diagnosed with malnutrition. He looks ready to just burst into tears right there and then.

* In the scene where Seita and Setsuka release the fireflies in their shelter, Seita tells Setsuka about the ship their father serves on, the IJN Maya. If you know your military history, then you'll know that the Maya was sunk on October 23, 1944, meaning that [[DeadAllAlong their father is already dead and they are blissfully unaware.]]

--> It was that one line. It was "Nii-chan". Oh god that little one word destroyed me inside, the change in tone from the cute, happy beginning, calling out to big bro to the scared, begging quivering plea... to the innocent, questioning why us, why did this happen to us "Nii-chan?"... till at the end, a listless, tired invitation to Seita nii-chan to eat the 'rice balls' she made. That quiet, single word by Satsuko. No dub can do it justice.

* Believe it or not, ''WebVideo/AMVHell 4'' managed to make it ''worse''. How? Snow Patrol’s ‘Chasing Cars’. ‘If I lay here... If I just lay here... Would you lie with me and just forget the world?’ If you’ve seen the movie, you can probably guess the visuals for this one.

Perhaps the king of all anime movie {{Tear Jerker}}s, ''[[Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies Grave of the Fireflies]]'' is a film about two children losing their parents to war, then starving to death in 1945. It was originally shown as a double feature with the [[MoodWhiplash completely dissimilar]] ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro''.

* One of Setsuko's last acts was to make Seita some "rice balls". ''Onigiri'' are simple Japanese comfort food. It evokes home, family, and food handmade with love - things the siblings had and lost.

--> That made it even worse, because I had [[HopeSpot hope]] that she was saved. Then you see flashback images of her playing and you fear the worst—right up until she gets put in a box. And then it’s like the world has ended and you forget who you are for 10 minutes.

No Real Life examples.
Deleted line(s) 14 (click to see context) :
* Try watching the film, and then read about the real-life story that inspired it. Then find out that the author of the original book wrote it as ''an apology to his sister''.
Deleted line(s) 37,38 (click to see context) :
* After reading about the author's real life experience for the book, Seita's death is even more depressing. The sheer amount of guilt...
* The film becomes heartbreaking on a meta level with the deaths of key staff members such as Akiyuki Nosaka from heart failure in December 2015, character designer/animation director Yoshifumi Kondo from an aortic dissection in January 1998, animator Hiroshi Ogawa from stomach cancer in August 2013, sound director Yasuo Urakami in December 2014, color designer Michiyo Yasuda in October 2016, as well as director/writer Creator/IsaoTakahata in April 2018 from lung cancer.
