Was looking for a tragedy

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2016)

Was not disappointing. One of those movies that shows life that isn't always a happy ending.
Takes place during WW2, I highly recommend reading up on the history of the Pacific theater of war during that time. You should know a bit about the fire bombings that took place and the condition that Japan was before and after the war.
This film is based on a true story, and it pulls all the right cords. If you don't like Anime because they "sexualize all the characters" then this might change your mind, and I'd highly recommend watching any of the films by Studio Ghibli which I would consider the on par with the likes of Disney and Pixar for storytelling.
It's not Schindler's List, but it shows the dark side of war that most films don't cover.
