I did not expect to get really deep into how their try to survive from Manchuria in the end of WWII Era. Really suprising their cover all aspect how innocent youth can be drag into a unwinnable war and See the hellish nightmares their see and feel in front of their own eyes. Personally this is worst than seeing 'Grave of The Fireflies', In here the suffering is keep going and going and going until the end with almost no rest. Really appreciate how much we see into perspecive of volunteer that under armed try to survive and save everyone. For me this is the Best of Animated War Film, I'm seeing this as the polar opposite of 'Saving Private Ryan' which is Through Many Despair, The will of keep person alive is Hope.
