It's a really sad movie, about two siblings trying to survive through the hardships of World Word II.
The family eventually dies on by one.
It made me cry a lot.

very good movie but pretty sad.
Before the movie i only had the american perspective of ww2 so it broadened my horizons about the war and time period.

yes, it was sad!!! i cried a little bit!! the sister was so cute!! and yes, it is a very very good movie!!

I wanna see it really bad!!!

I've seen it. It's a nice movie, except for it left me totally depressed afterward, therefore I hate it.

^yea it is pretty depressing but you have too see these movies to better appreciate life.
btw For more depressing movies check out:
Angela's Ashes &
Schindler's List

ahh i love this movie.

i watched it during this one summer ..

it's so sad. i was crying a river.

It was really sad! I had a few tears but I held them in so no one noticed as I was watching in my math class lol. Man.. that is one powerful movie. I felt so sorry for the little girl because she developed a huge rash from malnutrition and yea..

sounds interesting. .may i should go watch it

I thought it was good, but wasn't TEAR-JERKING or ABSOLUTELY SADDENING like everyone told me...

the main bother was that...well, I can't stand the character designs of ALL old anime shows...and yes, this includes shows like inu yasha, rurouni kenshin (except for the ovas), slayer, and basically anything that looks...well, "cheap".

To me story is more important then art, but I think the style was fine.
It was very sad but I was able to hold the tears back.
It was one of the best anime movies I'd ever seen. Two thumbs. XD

did u see the remastered version?
i thought that the art was fine and didn't take away from the movie experience at all.

sounds extremely good.......must buy it...

i saw this thx to my bro's recommendation and i enjoyed it.. it was a sad movie~

that poor little sis =(

Isn't this one, the one where a guy is running with this girl on his back away from the bombings and such? Then they find their mother wounded, and dead?

Yup yup, the very same.

yeah i saw both the cantonese version and english version. i cried both times. heh... but we're gonna watch it again in animation class this friday. w00t!!

Ani...animation.. class? ANIMATION CLASS!!? dammit
I want to go to your school...

lol. its not as fun as it sounds...trust me...all you do is sit there all day and redraw the same frames OVER AND OVER AND OVER with very little difference from each frame....takes lots of patience....something i dont have..=_= theres not alot of people into anime in that class and if they are they are VERY obnoctious [sp?] and loud...it annoys the hell outta me...

... better then math class

...

you'll eventually move on to doing an animation movie soon, right? Then the practise'll be good I suppose... I can't draw the same person over and over without it looking terrible.
Hang is there I guess
Even if boring it sounds pretty cool.

animation class? my school doesnt hav something like that i want a school with japenese class (my cuz does), flash making, animation, n other stuff

My friend told me to watch it a while back and I remember d/ling it but I never had a chance to watch it. >_< Then I reformatted my computer =O. So i'm red/ling it tonight. I can't wait. haha.

i remember watching it! i have it on DVD actually. it was such a sad movie, i cried. it was so sad when the brother got beated up for stealing the food for his little sister . a very touching movie .

i wanna watch :D

ah it was the biggest tear-jerker! T_T I cry just thinking about it lol

It was a great movie, but the boy could have done better. He starved just because he didn't want to work for money. He could have, but he was just too stupid to think what would happen to his sister if he didn't.
Sad, but the real sad point is that he didn't do anything to try to get them out of the situation.

Yeah that was what made me so mad! He left his relative's house becuase of his pride..gosh dangit suck up your pride for your sister! ... yeah I cried..... it was a real "bash-America" movie with the whole nuclear Hiroshima situation. I guess we kinda of deserved that with our Pearl Harbor movie come to think of it.

Psst! That movie was not sad!! I can name anime's that r a hell of a lot sadder that that!

damn everybody told me how good and sad this was, i don't even feel like finishing it.

very good movie but sad one also

happy to see such stuff

i m emotional so cried little bit sis was really CUTE..

now it come under one of my favourite anime movie.

My favorite part was when they were firebombing the Japanese village. It was all downhill from there. The rest of the movie was just the little girl whining, and the boy promising he'd protect her.

AND HE DIDN'T. AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
