Grave of the Fireflies hoodie
Arguably, the most depressing anime movie you may ever see. Written and directed by Isao Takahata for Shinchosha, it's an adaptation of the semi-autobiographical novel by the same name written by Akiyuki Nosaka, intended as a personal apology to the author's own sister. It is a moving story with rather graphic depictions of the suffering that occurred in Japan at the end of World War II. It tells the history of two young children (Seita and his younger sister Setsuko) who are left on their own after lossing their mother to the firebombings in Kobe. The movie starts with a dying, starved Seita at Sannomiya Station which is spotted by a janitor. The janitor comes and digs through his things. He finds a candy tin, containing ashes (Setsuko's) and decides to throw them out. From the ashes spring the spirits of both children flying with a group of fireflies which then passes to a flashback that beggins telling the two kid's struggle during that time of their lives, and how they tried to survive by their own in a war-thorn Japan. At the end of the film, we see the spirits of Seita and Setsuko who are seen sitting side by side, looking down on the modern-day city of Kobe, no longer starved and raggedy and rather peaceful. Due to the graphic and truly emotional depiction of the negative consequences of war on society and the individuals therein, some critics consider it to be one of the most powerful anti-war movies ever made. Animation historian Ernest Rister compares the film to Schindler's List and says, "it is the most profoundly human animated film I've ever seen." The story is based on the semi-autobiographic novel by the same name, whose author, Nosaka, lost his sister due to malnutrition in 1945 wartime Japan. He blamed himself for her death and wrote the story so as to make amends to her and help him accept the tragedy. The movie has a running time of total 88 minutes and a live-action film remake was made recently (2005)to conmemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II.

Navy Quality Goods Awesome! My girlfriend Becca loves it!
Navy Quality Goods I bought this shirt to wear whilst i sail the seven seas with my sea cadet friends, i really like the design because i can walk around and everyone knows im a wannabe pirate. I also like the colour choice, i am able to use it as my stealth suit whilst we do our practice drills with spray painted nerf guns :) would buy again!

SUPER SIGMA. I LOVE IT.
why I can't believe that I found it. A diamond in the dust. a needle in the haystack. A Chankla hoodie. no seriously I just bought a hoodie that only said Chankla. Best purchase btw
Pretty good It isn’t very hot and sweaty but other than that it is pretty good
TO THOSE ASKING, YES, THE GORGEOUS MAN COMES WITH THE SWEATSHIRT BUTTTT YOU HAVE TO PAY 100 TIMES MORE THAN ASKING!
Better then Gucci and LV I bought 3 of these and omg I’m done it’s literally the best hoodie I have ever worn.Its so good that I think the hoodie give me powers like Shaggy.I hope this becomes better than any other brand that’s how good it is.
Orderd a large hoodie about two years ago and the print in still holding up. I recently order a XL just do to the fact that the original has shrunk a little. The new hoodie is made with thicker material and fits perfect. I recommend ordering one size up.
Hahaha hoodie says cum dump and I wore it in public
Question… does that gorgeous man come with the sweatshirt? I will gladly pay 100 times more than asking!
bro my dog started barking when I wore this hoodie, he started talking in spanish and was like "Aiiiiii te ves sexy ¿Puedo conseguir tu número?" and then he did the stanky leg before he packed his bags and got 3 tickets to bikini bottom. I asked him who the other 2 people were and he told me "nah i just tryna sleep". Had to respect the dog, he got that dog in him. but yeah the hoodie was warm
made me look like the gyatt rizzler,the girls loved it!!!
It was softer than expected! Great fit for me, I love the way it wears. It is my favorite sweatshirt
Size adult medium unisex was a perfect fit. Shirt was very soft. Could be a bit thicker for the price.
Very expensive for just a word on a sweatshirt, but my son was thrilled with it.
I kinda liked it.
