About Only Yesterday
Overview
The coming-of-age and drama classifications offer a focused route into Isao Takahata’s work. They also help distinguish this film from the fantasy-heavy part of the anime catalogue. Sharing a director with Grave of the Fireflies is a discovery connection; it does not establish the same mood or content guidance. The structured source identifies this as a film with a release year of 1991 and a listed runtime of 118 minutes. Credited creators in the imported record: Isao Takahata.
