Beautiful tale, as is am not sure if it's history to be precise, cannot say neither it's a concept derived from both sides though the source is quite telling the structure is entirely real, anime adaptations over the years is at a breakneck speed mostly the fact that they captivate you in a sense of belonging that keeps the thrill there for you pleasure, in that instance your thoughts begins to collect data from different facets of the same anime prediction is pointless that's why all i do keep on is my attention to details so i can make a good remark and as far as remark goes this one hits the spot.

We have plenty of films depicting WW2, but not as much about when it ended. For the surrendering countries, the end of the war didn't mean peace. Despite the war being over, returning soldiers were still taken as prisoners of war by Soviets, shipped to Siberia as mentioned in the film; families were separated, taken to interment camps, and the conditions killed many.

This movie encapsulates and beautifully illustrates the Japanese experience of the 'end' of WW2. Each character represents a different attitude taken at the time towards duty and country, giving each attitude its justice without bias.

It's amazing to see the history of my German great grandparents reflected in this film, despite it being about Japan; this history is often entirely neglected since they were the bad guys, but through stories like these, we experience these hardships and sufferings overlooked by the world. The film represents both the Japanese and the Soviets as humans, likewise important despite the harm the USSR did to Japan.

The impact is great yet simple, a very enjoyable film, not too heavy yet plucks a few heartstrings still and leaves an impression. The animations is lovely and drives home the themes of the movie.

Nice story. It's very humorous. I'm enjoying it. It's pictures a lot how idealistic Japanese class rooms look like.

It's awesome picture for people who like traditional Japanese and further continuation.

It's less westernized than today/modern japan.

It's just kind of boring, so and so I think it's most because the children protagonist are not that the interesting, and because of we don't have, Interesting point of view character, everything else just became kind of meth.

Production level it looks very good and the character design has a soft child Effect to it, and The Shadows were really good.

Just a bit too childish for my liking her like that adult characters to be the main viewpoint, but it is so and so.

Kind of weird out by how it tries to be beautiful and optimistic even if something horrible is happening. It's kind of absurd at some point, but maybe in a children's eyes. It's not so bad after all.

A dramatic yet heart-warming story of cross-cultural friendship among children in the aftermath of WWII, presented by Tokyo-based award-winning animation studio Production I.G. Based on true events.

I thought the movie was good and emotional. Thats all there is to it.
