Another one of Osamu Tezuka's classics got a modern anime adaptation. The story in the chapters adapted for this anime was quite engaging and interesting, but the pacing felt somewhat off. Apparently, they also plan to release a movie version of this with an alternative ending, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that turns out. Although I liked the visuals, the background art was beautiful, and the character designs successfully captured the essence of the old animations. I would still recommend watching this, not only for its beauty but also because the story revolves around themes of loneliness, pain, suffering, and the journey towards hope.
