    Good

    It's such a great movie. We can know how war affects the people. I wonder why it wasn't popular enough.

    Cocktail of strong emotions

    Somewhat similar to the "Grave of Fireflies". The only difference here is that this movie has a positive ending while "Grave of Fireflies" leaves you heartbroken. This movie effectively shows the horrors of war on society.

    Animation is good, voice artists have done a good job too.

    The protagonist of the story is a little girl. The story is based on the period when USA dropped the atomic bombs on the Japan. The movie doesn't focus on the nuclear attack but the destruction caused by war is shown effectively.

    It is a must-watch for anyone who wishes to watch a movie related to the effects of war.

    Sad

    "Ushiro no Shoumen Daare" is an anime that has truly captured my heart with its enigmatic charm, earning a resounding 7/10 rating from me. I can confidently say that I loved every moment of this series. The storytelling is nothing short of mesmerizing, with its intricate plot, well-developed characters, and a web of mysteries that kept me hooked from start to finish. While some may find its complexity a bit overwhelming, I relished the challenge of piecing together the puzzle. The animation, although not always perfect, manages to convey the eerie and ethereal atmosphere of the narrative. The music perfectly complements the story's emotional depth, and the message it conveys about the blurred lines between reality and the supernatural lingers long after the series ends. "Ushiro no Shoumen Daare" is a hidden gem in the world of anime, and my love for it is boundless.

    Great story about war , its about the human part in the war , this movie is even better than "grave of fireflies" even so its not widely known.
