Grave of the fireflies

Even worse, it's based on a true story. (The author preferred the movie's ending)

It’s on my rewatch list since it’s been about twenty years, but I still can’t bring myself to doing so.

Same. It's my favorite Ghibli film, but I have to get myself in the right headspace to be broken by it again.

Hmmm ok never heard of this one. Will have to add it to the list.

It's an incredible movie. I'm not sure how much you should know before going in, but I'll say this: Don't be fooled by the fact that it's animated - by the same studio as "My Neighbor Totoro". (The two movies played as a double feature because not showing something lighthearted after Grave of the Fireflies would have been criminal negligence.) And the other comments are right - It's not something you're likely to be able to watch again anytime soon.
