Synopsis: 

With his mother dead and his father at war, Seita takes it upon himself to protect and raise his younger sister Setsuko during WWII.

Intentions: 

This edit takes the already phenomenal film and puts the events in chronological order, thus making the ending more impactful, especially for people who haven't yet seen the film.

Change List: 

- Removed non Ghibli logos from the first few seconds. - Added "Orphans of The Firestorm" Title card in Japanese. - Removed entire opening sections, This version cuts to the air raid scene. - Removed Seita on the train and instead faded to him already arriving with his aunt. - Cropped out and cut scenes of Seita watching his past self fail to comfort Setsuko. - Cut Setsuko's funeral to black to transition to ending. - Moved opening here. - Merged opening and ending including removing text from the opening credits. - Changed credits theme to "Grave of The Fireflies" By The Raven Age. - Added Fanedit Logo at end.

Additional Notes: 

Moved the opening scene (Which is chronologically last) and moved it to the end, cutting certain scenes to hide.

Other Sources: 

Conspiracy (Album) By The Raven Age.
