Basically, I don't watch anime so often, but recently, since I saw some anime movies are good, I'm quite interested in this genre of movie.
Well, the theme of this movie is really simple. It's a daily life movie which was set in Hiroshima City and Kure during the world war II era.
The protagonist is a young girl from a family who live in Hiroshima City named Suzu. She likes drawing so much.
A man from Kure, a city which is near the port, comes to Hiroshima City to propose Suzu. Well, I can't say it's a forced marriage for Suzu since she has a choice to reject (which is actually a good thing I guess) but that era is an era which people just got married easily, not like our era now. They come to the woman's house to propose, and just like that, they got married!
So, Suzu moved to Kure, a city where Shusaku, her husband, lives. They are a happy family too, I guess. Shusaku's mother hardly walk, so Suzu did most of the housework. She learns happily how to do the housework since Shusaku's family is also very nice to her.
Living in the war area is though. The food is being controlled, so they can't eat properly. The thoughest thing out of eveything is the bomb. Suzu got bombed and lost her right hand, which means she can't draw anymore. Not only that, many people died in because of the bomb.
To summarize it, the movie wants to tell us the daily life in the world war II area, the lost and the suffering of those people because of war, especially the Hiroshima atomic bombing incident.
Although the theme is very simple, this movie is soooo interesting, and could be touching.
I gave this anime movie 7.5 out of 10 points. Must watch I guess!
