Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
IMDB #182 [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095327/]
The Gist:
This film probably could not be made without animation. It's just too depressing, I honestly could not watch flesh and blood characters starve to death on screen. It's just too much (I'm looking at you, overrated Into the Wild). However, by using the anime approach, it provides just enough separation to allow the broader themes of the numerous and nameless atrocities that the war brought on to develop without the distraction of visceral reaction.
