I have to say that I watched this when I was 6 to 7 years old and I never forgot it. This anime touched me more than many Disney movies when I was a child. I kept searching for it but had no idea where to look and what keywords exactly to look up. Of course after all this time (me being 26 now) I couldn't remember exactly how it was. And here by chance I just found it. So happy about this! I kept remembering the final scene and couldn't let go of it. I think this anime deserves a remake to renew the graphics,sound quality, etc
