Whoa. This is a powerful film. Maybe one of the most powerful anime movies I’ve ever seen. Someone on IMDB may have said it best: The greatest movie you’ll never want to watch again.
It’s harrowing. The story involves two kids, a little girl and her older brother who must survive in Japan during the final days of WWII. It’s a true story and absolutely heartbreaking on every level. A true animation masterpiece. It’s depressing but thought-provoking and an amazingly powerful depiction of the true cost of war.
