To get the money to pay for a doctor for his father, Romeo bravely sells himself as a chimney sweep. On the way to Milan he meets Alfredo, a mysterious boy on the run heading to the same fate. Upon being separated and sold to their new bosses, the two boys swear eternal friendship.
I have wanted to see this anime for a while now, but have not been able to find it anywhere until recently. The story was top notch, though I wish I could give this anime a perfect rating and for being 17 years old it's probably has good animation for the time, but the animation isn't all that great.
If your looking for a great anime that was put together really well, I recommend this one to anybody. I was drawn in until the end and had the pleasant surprise of the anime actually being capped off well.
