I've watched this anime for the first time yesterday night, and holy shit.
I expected to cry during the movie, and I did, but what I didn't expect was how much hatred I would feel for humans after I did. Especially after reading the opinions of people about it.
Now if you haven't watched it, the rest of this post, or rather rant, will be spoilers, but I won't use the spoiler tags for readability.
Forget this anime even exists, you will just become an emotional mess like me or out yourself as a fascist after seeing it. It's not worth it.

Alright.
I fucking hate the aunt. That's the one thing I didn't expect.
She is an heartless bastard. She sees kids who lost their mom, their home, their dad is on the front line, she brings them into her home, and immediately starts verbally abusing them.
She forces them to sell the kimono of their mom, take half of the rice they got from it, and she still doesn't have one ounce of empathy, and start bitching again.
When they leave, she basically says "okay" and seems relieved by it.
I couldn't help but shout "KILL THAT BITCH" to the protagonist every time I saw her face. I hope I would see her house getting burned down by American bombs, I only wanted to see this.
