Older Children 10 and up (May contain mild bad language, bloodless violence)

summary:  On the final days of World War II, 14-year-old Seita and his four-year-old sister Setsuko are orphaned after their mother is killed during an air-raid by American forces in Kobe, Japan. After having a falling-out with their aunt, they move into an abandoned bomb shelter. With no surviving relatives and their emergency funds and rations depleted, Seita and Setsuko must struggle to survive their hardships as well as those of their country, which is on the losing end of the war.

my review: Another anime classic that any true anime fan should have seen; yay another one that’ll make you cry..There’s not really anymore I can say i fell madly in love with this anime at a young age and everyone is guranteed to do the same.

why you wouldn’t like it: apparently some reviwers have said that the emotions of the characters may seem fake..It’s also considered predictable because you know what’s going to happen
