Despite being anime, this movie is the most emotionally investing and moving of war film that I've ever seen. No movie has ever truly made me cry harder until I saw this. The unflinchingly true depiction of war from the perspective of the innocents has never been more pronounced in film until this film. As hard as it is to watch, everyone in the world must see it. What it has to say is too important to ignore.

Still have not seen a film that is more sad than this one. It's almost unbearable. Too sad to see with dry eyes. I cried buckets worth of salty tears. Should be shown to War Generals and Governments all around the world. If not for unnecessary pain and suffering at least for small children, you aggressive people. At least for children. We're all children. Don't kill us off. This is an absolute masterpiece. Hats off.

I do have to admit though, I know this isn't the point, but homeboy could have just apologized and tried to help out his family and the community as best he could. Completely ignoring that like you're supposed to, still pretty powerful movie. --DiB

I cannot look at a tin of fruit drops without thinking of Setsuko! I love her. The characters are so human, their expressions and movements so tangible that it's easy to forget you're watching an animation. Did you realize this is an animation?

I cried like baby watching this film. Even thinking about now is upsetting. So one of the best ani-war movie ever made.

A terribly moving and heartbreaking picture, as good as they come. Caused me to break down crying, in public, no less.
