"Unexpected History lesson"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This anime is based on actual events that occurred after WW II. I wasn’t aware of this fact at the time of purchase and it became an 'added bonus’ . It’s a beautifully made film with techniques used that were new to me, and the characters and story are relatable without losing focus on the tragic circumstances that led to it. If you’re interested in wonderfully executed animation, with compelling characters and story, then this film is highly recommended.

"Heart wrenching"

It will make you cry. It will also make you smile.

Description

Inspired by true events. In the aftermath of the most devastating conflict mankind had ever experienced, the tiny island of Shikotan became part of the Sakhalin Oblast… and on the unhealed border in this remote corner of the world, friendship among children from two different countries timidly blossomed, striving to overcome language barriers and the waves of history.
