this anime is great, the sense of time that passes over the run time of this film adds a lot weight the the characters actions, as they are not simply soldiers who spend there days in the heat of battle. the characters have lives outside of the conflict. its a good watch and its very pretty. its maybe is a bit long but im not sure what exactly i would cut from the film as i was glued too the screen. the disasters the befall the randy's is always enjoyable. i wrote this short review in hopes that more people might watch it, some peoplemight have a problem with the ending but anything else would be to cheese.
