Title: More a soap opera than a war story
Review: First I want to say that I like 99% of Anime and love Hayao Miyazaki films. But the more I think about this movie the less I like it.It is more about the weird conflict between a boy and his aunt and a country that seems filled with selfish people. I don't know about what Japan view of social charity was, but large parts of the town are untouched. At the end many people are acting like they have been on vacation rather than in a war. Why couldn't one of these families help? Would they let 4 year die even if the brother was a bit of a jerk?I could go on, but let me say I agree with several of the negative reviews. Overall the movie relies on too many convenient coincidences and characters that don't wash.
Is this product review negative?
