This was the saddest and most touching anime story I have seen in my life. The consequences of the war were horrible and the most vulnerable such as kids were obviously the ones suffering the most. This is impossible to forget film and people who believe anime is a silly genre should watch this movie.
This is not my favorite anime story, because I don't really like that much sadness, but this is certainly a masterpiece and a must-watch.
This is a movie that the first time I saw it, it impacted me so much that I don't dare to see it a second time, but it is a movie that we must see at some point. Regards.
