I've watched Grave of the Fireflies a number of times as a kid, and each time I'm reminded how grateful I am of where, when, and what I have/ am. The depiction is chilling to the core and tasteful enough to show in class.

One thing that I've done with a few students, as a side project, was to either have them get or buy them a tin of Sakuma Drops, the candy the siblings eat throughout the film. I've included a link to the wikii page, but it's easy to look for them at local Asian stores or even online. The physical candy in hand while watching is a powerful way to connect the audience to what they see on screen. Hope this helps!
