It will break your heart and fill you with hopelessness

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2019)

Before actually watching this anime I was mentally prepared for its sad plot. It didn't help though. It starts with the death and ends with the death, reminding me of Nietzsche's theory of the eternal recurrence.
Desperation and hopelessness accompanied me throughout the entire storyline till the very end, despite all the efforts of the two lovely main characters - a brother and his little sister - to resist and stay strong and righteous. And as long as they had each other they somehow in a mysterious way managed to overcome all their obstacles.
This story is in fact a description of true consequences of war which destroyes society on all possible levels and reveals the worst traits of human nature. I was full of anger and despair watching how indifferent the people are towards the siblings.
All in all, if initially you are feeling low, just like I was feeling, and nevertheless you decide to watch this film, then you are making a huge mistake.
