A well done War movie

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2005)

This is Isao Takahata's very first movie for Studio Ghibli.
It was shown along with My Neighbor Totoro back in 1988.
What unique about this anime movie is it's more like seeing a live action film than an animated film.
It shows how much the Japanese suffered during the WW2 period.
Those who think anime is just for kids will be proved wrong with this one. It's just as good as an Accademy Award movie.
This movie is tempting in a way. Reason why is that it has allot of deaths, sad moments, and bombings in Kobe.
Please know this is not something for little kids to see. I recommend 13 and older. Idon't see a little kid watching this movie. It has allot of people that die from the bombings and a few moments of blood.
I recommend this movie to those who like powerful/serious animation.
