RK Prime 7 (2017)

A dynamic journey of self-acceptance and identity.

Neo Sora left a realistic and yet hopeful notion for the near future and the now.

The external threat invaded the domestic environment at the most valuable moment: grieving.

What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.

This side-splitting workplace comedy features a diverse cast and tackles challenging social issues. Other sitcoms should take note.
