A beautiful exploration of the life of a Japanese woman on WWII. A refreshing take on its subject matter.
Some really pretty shots, with some effective perspectives on war from a citizens eyes. This film does suffer from being boring though.
An emotional movie that is animated beautifully. It's nice to see the impact of war from an innocent bystanders view.
Well established characters and a good world.
It’s absolutely beautiful. It went against all my expectations. Such a tearjerker. Would recommend.
This movie has made its mark on me. I've rewatched it, and will be sure to remember it. The grief is depicted well.
Charming movie that turns very dark in the last few parts
That feeling of dread, of loss, that comes from war is poked through by a small bit of hope for humanity and a better tomorrow.
Great way to tell this story. Beautiful, haunting story that moves at a gradual pace towards a moving conclusion
A movie that really makes you think while evoking heartfelt emotions as well.
