Aka-chan to boku

I only have extremely vague memories of this show but the strongest one involved my crying myself to sleep together with the younger brother. This show is one of my core memories despite me not understanding a single word of it since I watched it on spacetoons anywhere from when I was between 6-9 years old and it scarred me so much that even thinking about it now as a 22 year old male sends me into a small bout of depression.

Maybe it wasn't as intense as I remember, but the memories of Minoru's? Crying will never not cease to break my emotions. I do not have the heart to properly watch it now but I'm sure it must have been good.

I give it a 10 for scarring kid me for life, a babies tears and cries for it's mother transcends language barriers.

This is an early to mid 90s anime tv show which has won awards for its story. I watched this in Arabic and then in Japanese and both audios were brilliant. The character development was incredible and very touching between the brothers and their father. It begins by introducing the small family who've recently lost their mother/wife. Some scenes makes one tearful as it really depicts the grief from each family member including the baby. But especially the 10 year-old boy who matures throughout the story to become an independent self confident reliable individual. This show is very underrated and deserves more attention. It's short, only 33 episodes or so but definitely worth a watch.

This anime has a decent style, good dialog, and of course, very emotional. This was suitable with the song by Pitta Loppies from the girl group Moluccas, "Pearls of Love".
