Human side of war

Rating: 7/10 (14 November 2018)

The film is about WW2 and the effect it has on a Japanese family. A young boy and his little sister are separated from their mother during a bombing raid and lose their home in the process. Their father is off in the navy so he can't help them. Throughout the film they lose everything and it's up to the young boy to take care of his sister when their mother died and their aunt didn't want them to stay any longer. This isn't your typical happy ending type of movie. It shows the horrors of war and I think the anime makes it easier to take. I'm not big into anime but this one made me feel for the characters even if I think the movie may have had a bigger effect in live action.
