Something a little different!

Hey everyone. While watching anime have you ever spotted something that seemed familiar? Like you've seen it in another anime? Well during my time as an anime fan I've seen countless shows and movies and I've spotted plenty of references before. Some shows make it easy for you to spot them (like naming the show their referencing) while others make you put a little work into it.

Well today I'm going to point out a few references. Of course I'll include a few pictures to go along with these references and I'll name the show they come from.

First Up....

1. Grave Of The Fireflies. 

Yep. Someone made an obvious reference to this anime. You might know it as the saddest anime in the world! It was made by Studio Ghibli too. The same people who made movies like Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service. So tell me if anything looks familiar.








The ones who referenced Grave of the Fireflies was none other then Dokkoida!? After a giant clay monster destroys some of the city the characters are living in, they take shelter in another building. Well someone starts shouting "Setsuko" and this little girl runs across the camera. In case you haven't seen Grave of the Fireflies yet, the little girl in that movie is named Setsuko.



There's more I'll do later. I would check out both Grave of the Fireflies and Dokkoida!? They're worth checking out!
