It's awesome... anime's greatest masterpiece ever

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2005)

Studio Ghibli really did it with this movie. It shows War at it's worse and really gets to u.... Setsuko is absolutely cute and you really love her... such a sweet little kid confronted to her mothers death and being left alone....... and Seita, a young boy who has to take care of everything and being faced with complete helplessness.. and who really has a hard time surviving with Setsuko in those adverse circumstances.... It's hard to watch... I got really depressed when it was over and stayed like that for at least 3 days... u really start to hate Americans and war when u see what Japanese people had to go through... and considering that it's a true story.... it's twice as bad.... if u can, watch it... it's absolutely worth your time.... there a few War Dramas that can compare to this...
