I remember that Grave of the Firefly sat on my harddrive for a good 6 month before I watched it.

Has anyone felt the same around here? Something that simply can't be watched not because it is bad but because it is too good to maintain emotional detachment and not get dragged into hell?
Indeed it took me a long time to work up the nerve to watch Grave of the Fireflies. I'm glad I finally did (I borrowed it from the library and watched it several times when I had it).

It also took me a long time to work up the nerve to watch Perfect Blue.

At some point I need to watch Barefoot Gen too.
