Kujira no kora wa sajô ni utau

Although it is a sad story overall, I think one of the main goals of it is to teach young about humanity, unity, hope, war, negotiation, even politics in a simple but magic way!

Wow it was Awesome. I love the fact that the strange names like falena and likos are all Greek. And since I am from Greece I can also translate them for you. so falena means whale, thats why the anime is named the children of the whales, likos means wolf and the enemy ship I couldn't recognise the world it was either skiros or skilos. Skiros is an actual island in Greece but I think it was skilos because it means dog and the other ships are named after animals too. Also anthropos means human and sarka means flesh. What else I LOVE about this anime is that Chakuro rights everything in Greek and the cool part is that what is writen in the paper actually makes sense with what Chakuro says to us as he talks, for example in one scene he says he wanted to describe everything even the tears of the people and in this scene what we saw was a paper that had righten down "den mporousan na stamatisoun na klene" which means "they couldn't stop crying". I think that Greek was actually the right language to pick since we actually have a lot of islands in my country and we have a lot of sea too. Also I think this anime refers to when we had dictatorship in Greece and whoever was suspected to be an enemy to the government was send in a prison which was located in an isolated island. There is a lot of references to Greek culture in this anime and a lot of detail. I really appreciate and love your work. Keep up with it cause I really want to see MORE !!!!

*everything that I wanted to write with Greek letters is written with English letters cause IMDb doesn't allow Greek letters to appear in its website, how rude.

I didn't expect too much from this, as I haven't been a fan of any Netflix original animes so far. However this one surprised me. The characters are likable (especially the main character), the world was unique and full of mystery, the artwork is gorgeous, and the soundtrack is both beautiful and, at times, haunting. I meant to watch 20 minutes before bed and ended up watching two hours.

The only criticism I have with this anime is that every once in a while a scene would reach beyond the realm of magical to where I was having a "...what did I just watch..." moment.

Overall, you should watch this. Go watch it.

I was surprised by this anime: Visually pleasing, an interesting story and with all brutality still emotional and beautiful. It hits a special nerve. It's really worth watching! I hope there will be a second season.

This anime is actually pretty decent. It starts off pretty easy going and inncocent, but then takes a dark, gruesome turn. The plot is interesting, the powers are unique, and the combat is gripping. The animations look similar to SOA. American voice actors from Bleach, SOA, Blue Exorcist, and Fullmetal Alchemist star in this show.
