I wrote that with sarcasm
Miyazaki's films on war is never an apologist.
Grave of fireflies shows the suffering of japanese citizen (nothing on japanese ideals) during the war.
The wind rises - misuse of invention for pain and suffering (kinda like oppenheimer stance on his atomic bomb)
And I don't get how a japanese made animation related to japanese stuff is unusual and somehow anti-american
I never like this 2 movies as he romanticize the subject and only paint Japanese as the victims of WW2. Miyazaki's films on war is never an apologist.

Grave of the Fireflies is one of the saddest movie ever made but if you think further he made a movie about suffering of Japanese but the rest of the world suffers even worst than Japanese. It is hypocritical for him to criticize American movies but he himself did the same thing where he made one side as victim but ignoring others as victims too.
Wind Rises is worst. He made the man who invented Zero, a pure war machine into some sort of pacifist. Nobody who create war machine can claim themselves as pacifists later. He received money for his creation.
