"My Hero Academia Ranks #1 on U. S. Monthly Bookscan April List". Anime News Network. Archived from the original on May 31, 2022. Retrieved May 9, 2021. May 2021: Hazra, Adriana (June 6, 2021). "Attack on Titan Ranks #1 on U. S. Monthly Bookscan May List". Anime News Network.[32] The movie uses fireflies to visually represent both deadly and beautiful imagery, such as fire-bombs and kamikazes. [21] Takahata chooses to use the kanji "fire" instead of the normal character for the word firefly in the title, which has been interpreted to represent the widespread burning of wooden houses in Japan. Critic Dennis H. Fukushima, Jr. believes that this modification of the title is to emphasize parallels between beauty and devastation, citing the relationship between fireflies, M-69 incendiary bombs, naval vessels, city lights, and human spirits. [21][20] In the book Imag(in)ing the war in Japan representing and responding to trauma in postwar literature and film, David Stahl and Mark Williams commend the film for not emphasizing Japanese victimhood to avoid responsibility for atrocities of the war they played a role in. They interpret that Seita's character embodies working towards healing historical trauma and victimization, because it is his nationalistic pride and selfishness which ultimately contributed to his sister's death. [33] Release[edit] Theatrical[edit] The film was released on 16 April 1988, over 20 years from the publication of the short story. [9] The initial Japanese theatrical release was accompanied by Hayao Miyazaki's light-hearted My Neighbor Totoro as a double feature. While the two films were marketed toward children and their parents, the starkly tragic nature of Grave of the Fireflies turned away many audiences. However, Totoro merchandise, particularly the stuffed animals of Totoro and Catbus, sold extremely well after the film and made overall profits for the company to the extent that it stabilized subsequent productions of Studio Ghibli.
