Wolf Children: Ame & Yuki
| I was researching a little bit about this movie since it was rated so high, and I've come across a few sources that say that this movie is gut wrenchingly depressing. I'm not one to not watch something if it is sad, but if this movie is going to leave me feeling terrible all day, I want to avoid it. What's your opinion and please don't spoil any of the major plot elements please. |

| It's quite the opposite, I found it to be very lighthearted and uplifting with a lot of sweet and touching moments. It actually made me think that there is still some good left in humans. It's an amazing movie, you should watch it. |

| It's depressing in a way that's makes you see it as too realistic. The whole premise seems like some kind of furry fantasy thing but it truly isn't. The writer didn't dump a crapton of construed machinations into the story, just the hardships of being a single mother, growing up as something different, choosing one's own path, and the difficult battle of letting go. Stuff that can happen to anyone. It's just unbelievably heartfelt. |
| The chip in my mind, it summons me. I gave my life to your machines. |

Get baptized under the water, etc. also I cannot wait for this movie to come out dubbed on amazon.com I will be getting it. It sounds like it will be a excellent movie. Is this at all like the most depressing movie of all time which is Grave of the fireflies? That movie got me seriously depressed. It was so sad for the 2 children going thru such hard times and what they saw in the war etc. Jesus is everyone's best friend and savior |
| I would say that it is bitter sweat, but that is the part why I gave it a 10/10. It had very sweet and uplifting moments that made you very happy and made you happy. But the characters are so great and the film sucks you in soo much that you end up crying a few times in the movie. The ending is a happy ending. |

| The ending was so sweet. Really made you understand all the past scenes that where shown. Yea this is a masterpiece movie about being a parent. Go watch it now or you regret it. I see you saw Summer Wars, I'm sure you like this too along with Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo since there from the same makers. |

I've not seen Ef- However I'll say this, I wasn't the least bit sad after watching it. I try to stay away from sad animes too- although there are just some that the story is too good (IMO) to not try them, even if their depressing. An example of that for me would be: "Clannad~After Story"... That had me in tears, AND depressed for quite a while afterwards. And I'm not one to cry easily. However I loved it. That aside, I'm not saying you should watch sad things, Just trying to explain that I understand not wanting to watch sad things. Anyway- no, this wasn't sad for me. I found that I was a bit depressed, but I'm prone to that easily and the depression came because I was annoyed at the actions of the son at the end, the reason I was upset with him is not anything like the reasons I've read elsewhere. <- Figured I should say that in-case someone wants to try and make me understand his actions. Anyway- that's what I think, regarding if it was sad or not. |

| It's only depressing in the first half and then everything get so much better and happier late on. |
| Wouldn't call it "depressing". It was pretty inspirational, moving, and a little bittersweet. (though if you think more realistically I wouldn't even call it bittersweet as well) |
 |
| It is very touching but I would not call it really depressing anyway. Sure some parts of the story are little bit sad, but these are touching moments and it also has a great ending |
 |
| Well there are sad parts ofcourse but I don't remember feeling particularily depressed afterwards and there are much happiness too. I would recommend it. |
| I felt sad and heartbroken throughout the show. A mother shouldn't tire herself, just to keep her kids company, i mean, she BARELY slept. Thats what made me sad seeing her like this. I guess this is what it means by 'taking responsibility'. But if that is what makes you tired, then I'd rather have no children than even ONE of them. And guess what? At the end, the little brother ended up leaving the mother alone, is that how you should pay back your mother? |
