CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Anyone seen this awesome flick? It's very disheartening and depressing, but it has a great theme on hope. If you have seen it, what do you like or not like about it?

I don't think there's anything that I don't like about this series, it's simply awesome. There's great charcter development, and nothing is glossed over. The charcter's choices in the movie are not based on simplistic (or preachy) moralizations, but are shown to be arrived at after real personal struggle. Also, despite the brutal violence that occurs in this show, there is no attempt to water it down or to forget its awful consequences. In short, this absolutely one of the best anime I've seen.

Also simply one of the best anime I ever seen. And it holds first place in my "best seiyuu voice acting" anime list. I really can't find any fault at all--and that's saying something.

Gah... makes me wanna go watch it again... (love the ending song too)

Its a really great anime from what i have seen i still need to watch volume 2 and 3

The most powerful scene has to be....(if you haven't finished the series don't look)

[Spoiler=Spoilers]Where Sara tries to kill her child by smashing the rock repeatedly against her stomach and Shu blocked it the whole time with his hand, powerful stuff.[/Spoiler]

Okay..now I definitely want to see this. I'd heard it had some "disturbing" themes..but no one here is giving it a redflag or anything, so I suppose it's alright. As soon as I have some money,that is...

I'd put it on a similar playing field as Grave of the Fireflies.

I was trying to find a good analogy to it, but yeah, it's close to that. Also it's "only" 13 eps, which may or may not be an advantage.
