good movie, not too familiar with the history of that island but it did make me want to learn more about it!

Kanta's death broke me. This was a great movie, 9/10. Appalled by the rating. To the people who are complaining that this movie shows the Japanese as victims do understand that not every civilian in a country is responsible for the actions of their leaders (especially imperialists). The villagers are loyal to Japan! Of course they would be but that does not lessen their suffering. I hate war.

A heartbreaking film but also, an heartwarming too with moments of struggling with the new life they live after post war and meeting new people that change the life you lived a will always remember them long past. Tanya impact on the film is to good that she's not a main character was a bit surprising to me, even if her time was short her presence was felt throughout the film. Really was hoping to see her again in a way it was through her grandchild. The Music was really good and the animation was interesting, mostly the scene with Tanya and junpei

Interesting story, unique art, and I think the studio did a great job conveying a story that is often forgotten. Definitely a great watch, and this movie is clearly underrated.
