The Saddest Animated Movie I've ever seen

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2011)

Having watched several Studio Ghibli movies like Spirited Away and Howl's moving castle, I thought that this film would be another out of this world magical story too...
I found the title intriguing so I decided to watch it.
I was struck as soon as the story began especially when the boy mentioned about the year when he died.
Well I was really wrong about my expectations for the flick isn't fun filled after all.
However I have to commend the film's effectiveness...
Cos it was able to connect to its viewers and move its audience...
I was honestly teary eyed when the film neared to its end...
I guess this is the most unique Ghibli Movie.
A very sad yet effective story...
