Si je devais dire un film qui me fait pleurer à chaque fois que je le regarde, celui-ci en fait partie. Cette histoire est touchante et montre la vrai facette de la guerre. Je le recommande énormément, même si la fantasy de bases des gibli n'est pas présente, l'histoire est touchante et très bien écrite
