Its a history movie well-drawn, well-structured, and VERY impactful.
To be honest, after watching anime, Japan and its culture, and reflecting the past, I wondered what WW2 looked like on their end.
I wasn't prepared on what to say after all those eventa that happened in these "fictional" animations. I quoted "fictional" because mind you, this was real, including all the emotions that they made after such....unregrettable moments..
Story=10
Art=11
Sound=10
Character=9
I...couldn't relate...to the story at all, but all of it left me reflect so much....
A beautiful, unique autobiography of Suzu Urano, growing into the world that she never imagined that it will come down as the biggest events in all of the world's history...
The story deserves the perfect 10, despite the....surprises that gave me....such sorrow...
The artstyle that they drew for this story not only FITS, but it all connects so much to Suzu. It breaks, then softens my heart to realize how much effort they drew into this....I'm running out of words of praise to the animators that made the overall theme of the story alive.
The realism that they've maintained in this story would make the past historical movies some jealousy. Depending on the mood, the background sounds and music is either smooth or timely impactful, it kept me the edge of my seat when there was none at all!
All of the characters has a role to play for our Suzu. From parental roles to loved ones, even supporting characters. All of them may have done their parts, but all of their actions always reflect to Suzu, from beginning to end.
Harumi...
I never would dare watch anime that has history in its genre, because most of them would mix other genres and lots of unrealism that I didnt bother pick up.
So this would be my first historical anime, and I thank the studios, the creator and the VAs for this story.
I highly recommend everyone to give this a watch. It's a perfect 10 from me.
P.S.
I will never forget how much WW2 left an impact to your past lives.
May we move on in peace and prosperity, and I say this truthfully as a Filipino.
