I was looking at new raw episodes and found out there is a DORAMA of Hotaru no haka ! Comments were it's really sad and alike to the movie.

Watched the first 40 minutes or so, pretty good so far, but extremely long movie...Over 2 hours :S

The cast is pretty good as well, Seita has quite a similar voice to the voice in the animation, although i dunno about the little girl she doesnt seem so cute like the anime.

Plus anything with Inoue Mao and Nanako Matsushima is :cool:

I finished watching it last night, it is 2hr 28 minutes long. Not my usual genre of film, but I have to say it was very good and also very sad, especially the last 30 minutes or so. I would definately recommend it.

Is this a live action film of Grave of the fireflies or a tv series?

and if its a film, has it been released yet?

Thanks in advance :-)

It's a tv special to celebrate(?) 60 years after the war ended, it's slightly different to the animated version, and yup live action.

Thanks Gaki for the response

I'll try and keep a look out for it as I really loved Grave of the Fireflies anime and consider it an all time classic (and moving) ;-)

great movie.. if it doesnt bring atleast 1 tear to your eye.. something is wrong with you...

[ACMILAN1983]

Does anyone know where I can get English subtitles for this (the live action one)?

I've been looking around and have the raw episode, but no luck with subs :(

I was really looking forward to seeing this as well.

Also, I'm not sure if requesting this is against the rules, but if it is, please accept my apologies :)

This sure sounds very interesting...I didn't know it was released yet.....Where can it be purchased?

I watched the animated version a while back and I refuse to watch it again. It left me in a ball of sadness. I didn't cry but my heart actually hurt afterwards.

[ACMILAN1983]

so no subs then? :p

Don't suppose there's a great chance there'll be a DVD release in England?

so no subs then? :p

Right click and save as:

Rename the srt according to the raw file you have, originally mine was named:
[S^M] Hotaru no Haka Live Action RAW.srt

Had to change it because i cant remember what symbol is used to subsitute 'space bar' in file names when written in urls.

If that doesnt work PM me your email address and i'll email you the original .srt.

[ACMILAN1983]

Thanks a lot Gaki, it worked like a charm.

I've dealt with subtitle files before and this one has been one of the few to cause me no issues at all.

I'm all excited to watch this now :p
