Absolutely, Only yesterday shows the nostalgia for one's childhood in a way few movies do. My Neighbors the Yamadas is also really worth watching
I'm assuming that a lot of people will be commenting about Grave of the Fireflies. It's a stunning movie, but I felt a much greater connection to My Neighbors The Yamadas. I found it to be such a delightful movie, full of small family moments. Very few actual crises, very few actual stakes, but so wonderfully realized.
It's a great loss.
