I believe Barefoot Gen (1983) is more powerful than Grave of the Fireflies (1988). I first watched Barefoot Gen and then Grave of the Fireflies and thought Barefoot Gen was much more effective. Sure Grave of the Fireflies is more popular and better animated since it's newer, but people really need to check out the classic Barefoot Gen if they liked Grave of the Fireflies. I believe Barefoot Gen tells a better and more effective story of the devastation of the bombings on Japan. Barefoot Gen is truly a gem that needs to be appreciated by more people.
