Takahata’s follow-up to Grave of the Fireflies is a far more serene memory piece. Twenty- seven-year-old Taeko reminisces about her 1960s childhood when travelling from Tokyo to the sleepy country town of Yamagata. Takahata renders these flashbacks in a different style than the present-day scenes—corners slightly fade into white, details on the edges are blurred—altogether lending these moments a sense of impermanence. A surprise smash hit in Japan, this adult animated film is a poignant look at the cost of growing up.
