Good movie, not so heart-tearing as the previous one, but still good.

I thought Gen licking the burn girl was really weird.

This was a lot easier to watch than I was expecting. I was also more emotionally involved than I expected to be. Thought the first film was great but didn't really feel like I needed to put myself through that again.

Pleasantly surprised however. And sad too of course.

Were people really that unsympathetic to the homeless?

I expected a forced, lighter and softer sequel. It was very good, instead.

Yeah, weird and heartwarming at the same time.

Kinda sad that they killed off the mother, even though the death flags were there I kinda wished she didn't have to die. Nonetheless it was a great, it would've been great if they did a time skip and everyone was doing great and the old man had died.

I can't say that I liked this more than the first one but it was an appropriate and fair sequel considering the context of when the story takes place.

The new characters were pretty interesting but damn, the mom :(

Sad to see Gen's mom passing away (sort of breaking his dad's promise) but overall a more positive and hopefull movie compared to the first (especially heartwarming to see Gen befriend the street kids).

Definitely less shocking and heart wrenching than the first, but still a great movie
