A Great Anti-War Film

Rating: Null/10 (4 February 2002)

This film is one of the best Anti-War films ever made! Seita and his sister Setsuko are two of the most likable and adorable characters in all of anime, you really feel there suffering as the movie goes on. If you are planning to watch this film like most other anime, don't. Where as most anime is graphically violent with a pop theme, this movie is a gritty, realistic, and all together heartbreaking film that stabs at your soul with a pitchfork of depression. One person I lent the film to cried for most of the movie and was depressed for the rest of the night. If you are looking for a film that may change your outlook on war, even the war being fought at this time, this is a great film to check out.
