Hotaru no Haka
Or Grave of the Fireflies as it's known in english. I'm a fan of all things Studio Ghibli has a hand in, but this one movie is pretty much universally heart wrenching and painful. If anybody can watch this movie and not bawl their eyes out by the end, they are officially a robot. I haven't seen that recently though so I don't know if counts, so if you're looking for things that qualify as recent, that'd be with the parents at the vets having to have our dog euthanized after she had a stroke just over a month ago.
