Cried a river

I've seen a lot of 'tear-jerking' anime but this really took my breath away....LITERALLY.....I didn't expect to cry this much until my eyes hurt and my head spinning....I've never cried this much before in my entire life, not for a person, pet or any show......

Moving on....I found this anime shortly after the earthquake that hit Japan (yes i'm slow >.< sorry) I thought they were just going to show a girl and her brother on a journey back to their home after the quake with minor disasters here and there....It was really sad the first few episodes (showing fires, buildings collapsing, people who died, stuff like that) but the worse was the last 2 episodes....I kind of knew the ending but I didn't know that it was SO emotional....I was crying the entire last 2 episodes (GOD! 40 minutes of crying >.<||)

Sorry again...moving on.....
Story: Well like I've said a girl and her younger brother with a lady they met after the quake trying to get back to their homes after the 8.0 quake that hit Japan. They really portrayed the terror and disasters quite well....It may be MUCH MUCH worse in Japan now but it was pretty horrible in the show itself D:

Dialogue: In the beginning the sister kept whining and stuff so I was kind of pissed off...I wanted to skip the scenes and stuff BUT I recommend all of you not to.....Overall....i guess it's just normal conversations XD

Animation: The people could be drawn better but overall it did make an impact on me when everything was collapsing and burning down.....You couldn't help being drawn into it and it really made you imagine what actually happened in Japan

Entertainment: Well this anime, all I could say is...no laughing here, just remember to put a tissue box beside you when you're watching this....

Overall, great anime. I recommend this to everyone who is interested to roughly know about the earthquake in Japan. They didn't show the exact place but you will at least know what they went through.
