yeah. it's a real winner alright. definitely a classic.
if you're into anime that pulls on your SOUL... may i recommend...
GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES.
warning: you will cry. lots. many times.
and just a cultural word here:
firefly season in Japan is something as talked about and anticipated every year as "Autumn in NewEngland." it's just accepted as one of the most beautiful times of the year.
Of course, as with all seasons, it does end and it's a common theme for children in a manga or anime or any Japanese story to ask their parents where all the fireflies have gone.
Why do i bring this up?
Because the answer for little kids is "away." they're just gone. We don't know where they go. Or... when you get older... you learn the truth. they all died. every year. they're only here for a short, flickering moment. then they ALL DIE.
enjoy the film. you'll see why i told you that when you've watched it...
sometimes it sucks to be older.
