Only Yesterday
Only Yesterday (Japanese おもひでぽろぽろ; Omoide Poro Poro meaning Memories Overflowing Like Tear Drops or literally Memories Drop Drop) is a film directed in 1991 by critically acclaimed director Isao Takahata (Grave of the Fireflies) and produced by Studio Ghibli.
This film is very significant among progressive anime films in that it takes a genre that has been traditionally thought to be outside the realm of what should be animated, in this case a realistic daily life drama.
In spite of breaking away from animation and anime traditions, it was a surprise box office success attracting the josei audience the film was primarly aimed at.
