139) In this Corner of the World (2016)
Now this is how animation should be. Perhaps the best thing I watched this year indeed. Or at least the best movie (Simoun is not a movie). In the style of Takahata it is essentially a less tragic Grave of the Fireflies, instead of being a tragedy from WW2, it is a story of an average person surviving through the war. There is tragedy but it's not the central element of this movie, also it shows Hiroshima being nuclear bombed from a distance.
