Depressing and sad but a great movie

Rating: 9/10 (6 August 2009)

A great depressing story. A must see for those who can handle sad movies. It was a heart-wrenching experience for me. Long after i finished watching this 1hr 30min movie i still couldn't get off my mind the hardships faced by the people affected by the war. Especially children were the most affected. This film is very honest. The background score matched well with the emotional tones of the film. I watched the Eng-dubbed version and maybe that brought down the depressing tone a little but it was haunting enough. This is one of those very few films that reduced me to watery eyes. Once you see it you may never watch it again{I think I'll never see this again}...Easily one of the best Anime films and maybe one of the best movies that shows the true cost of the war. This is one of the GEMS out there, Don't miss out.
WARNING: Be prepared for an emotional ride.
9.2/10
