This is my first review so be kind, please.:p

I can't understand why this anime has not a review yet. (Maybe because it is not a Japanese production). Anyway, this is one of the most impressive anime I've ever seen. The art and the characters are pretty good, the story is fantastic and full of sentimental feelings. I think after you see the movie you'll have an idea about what Buddhism really is.

Story:
It tells the story of two orphans based on a legend in which a five-year-old boy sacrificed himself to open his blinded sister's eyes. I don't really want to spoil so I won't tell anything more.

BTW, I have to say that this is one of my favorite anime movies. The end is really sad, but excellent too. I almost cry *.*.

Story: The story itself is very simple but it reflects Buddhism very well in that manner. It is simple yet moving. The story is slow paced in a very beautiful way. Not everyone will enjoy this story, but those who do will love it.

Art: I thought the art was very beautiful, especially the scenery. A lot of detail and care was put into the art. The colors are bright and vibrant. The characters are simple but nice. I thought the animation of the lips was done very well.

Sound: I'm not a big sound person and the music of this anime was very subtle. Again, it reflected a Buddhist nature very well. The music did what background music should do, and it did it very well. It added to the scenes' emotions without distracting. I thought the ending credit song was rather beautiful.

Character: I fell in love with the characters which were, as the rest of the film, very subtle and simple. Yet, they were very easy to sympathize with and become attached to.

Enjoyment and Overall: I very much enjoyed this film. I can't really properly express the amount of joy it brought to my day. It made me appreciate life a bit more than usual, made me take more tn. I'll say it again, it's a very Buddhist film. And I enjoyed and appreciated that. read more
