    Great animation movie

    I find that it is a good animation movie. This a comedy and drama animation. The music was very good, and the drawings are well drawn, especially when they are made with the hand. It is a film which makes reflect on the good to be company. The whole, it does not have there a scene of violence like the majority of the American and Japanese animation. The main character is a trouble maker but he has a good heart.People will cry after seeing this animation. I recommend to all to look at, even to the children, although it is sad and too heavy for them, because it is an example to be followed for all, children and adults.

    Great, but definitely not a family movie.

    This animation is great. About everything is right. But be aware not to watch this movie with children! Despite that it is an animation, it is a sad movie and will be too much for most children.

    Despite this, I recommend this movie to everyone who is able to get their hands on this!

    Emotionally draining, but ultimately worth the journey

    I just finished watching this. I have to admit, in terms of tone and emotions, this is definitely the heaviest animation that I have seen. In this sense, Oseam bears some similarities with Grave of the Fireflies. This is not to say, however, that the movie is sad through and through.

    There is no point in revealing any of the plot - suffice to say, the journey is ultimately fulfilling. In terms of animation quality, it is second to none. It is especially impressive considering that it was hand-drawn. Last but not least, this is not your average Disney flick - teens may be able to appreciate the story, but younger kid most likely cannot handle it.

    Wow, A Masterpiece, One of the Best of All Time!!

    I have just finished watching this movie, and I can say is WOW, it's definitely one of the best anime movies of all time. The story, music, and animation are great; you just have to see this movie right away. The movie is not out in theater, not in the U.S. anyway, so you should go get the Korean DVD instead, it has English subtitle, so you will be fine.
