Studio Ghibli's Greatest Film Is About to Hit Netflix

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the enchanting world of Studio Ghibli, I can confidently say that the arrival of “Grave of The Fireflies” on Netflix is an exciting event for me and fellow anime enthusiasts. Having grown up watching these timeless tales of courage, love, and loss, it’s always a treat to revisit these masterpieces or experience them anew.


Choosing a “preferred” film among Studio Ghibli’s extensive anime collection can be quite an assertive decision, given titles like “The Boy And The Heron” and “Spirited Away” that have won the hearts of numerous anime enthusiasts due to their exceptional animation, storytelling, and the fact that they both earned Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature. Beyond these two classics, there are countless other films from this legendary studio that can easily become an animation aficionado’s favorite. Notably, a movie often labeled as one of Ghibli’s saddest productions is soon to be available on Netflix.

Studio Ghibli, over the years, has solidified its reputation as one of the most renowned studios in the anime industry. Established in 1985, this creative powerhouse has provided legendary director Hayao Miyazaki and his skilled colleagues with a platform to fully explore their artistic talents. Kicking off their anime journey with “Nausicaa of The Valley of The Wind,” Ghibli has consistently produced critically acclaimed films that boldly venture in unique directions when telling their stories. This is particularly evident in “Grave of The Fireflies,” a film that often leaves viewers teary-eyed from the moment it starts playing.

Grave of The Fireflies is Coming to Netflix

On September 16th, Netflix subscribers will have the opportunity to stream “Grave of The Fireflies.” This animated movie tells the story of two siblings, Seita and Setsuko, navigating post-World War II Japan. After their mother succumbs to war injuries, their already challenging circumstances worsen significantly. Known for its unique narrative style, this Studio Ghibli film is often considered among the studio’s finest works, despite its vast collection of films.

What Comes Next For Studio Ghibli?

Most of Studio Ghibli’s animated films can be found on MAX, so it might take fans by surprise that “Grave of The Fireflies” is now available on Netflix. At this time, no other titles from the studio have been confirmed to join Netflix, with Seita and Setsuko’s heart-wrenching story being a unique addition for now. After the success of “The Boy And The Heron,” Studio Ghibli has remained cryptic about its future plans, but here are some things to consider as we await more information on upcoming projects.

Initially, renowned director Hayao Miyazaki had expressed that he would retire following his last project, which had won an Academy Award. However, a new spark of creativity ignited within Miyazaki after working on The Boy And The Heron, causing him to reconsider his retirement plans and return to creating more projects. Although details about his future ideas are scarce, the fact that he’s in his early 80s isn’t preventing him from utilizing his talents further.

Interestingly, although known for their anime movie production, Studio Ghibli has ventured into a different realm recently. In contrast to their usual work, they’ve established a real-life amusement park called Ghibli Park in Japan, which opened in 2022. This magical place showcases replicas of iconic landscapes and characters from beloved Studio Ghibli films, with the park continuing to grow post its initial success. Although no North American theme park has been confirmed yet, fans eagerly watch as life-size Cat Buses are being created. There’s hope that the Studio Ghibli Museum, which has been a part of Japan for years, might someday make its way across the world to us here in the West.
