After this story, I want to hang myself.

On the one hand, the viewer sees how the overwhelming figure of the father and the lack of parental love affected the hero. On the other hand, Japanese culture and the desire to meet human requirements in all spheres of life have destroyed more than one resident of this country. Military sentiments in society inflame the atmosphere, making men more categorical and women more accessible. The hero himself is guilty of his inaction, amorphousness, but he is lonely, there are not those people around, either those who do not really love him, or those who are unable to awaken a warm feeling in the hero's heart. Again, it is unwise to attach such importance to the opinion of society, as well as to isolate oneself from it. It's a very depressing story, I'm sorry for everyone.

This is not an anime. This is a hand-drawn film adaptation of the books. After all, you can show much more in a cartoon than in a movie, the fantastic inner world of the main characters here looks much more natural than also in the form of special effects in films.
A great opportunity to touch the Japanese classics and their very unusual folklore.
All the stories are very dark, about human sins and weaknesses, so the anime came out very gray, heavy, dragging. It often puts pressure on the psyche and makes you think. It's very interesting to watch really unusual thoughtful things, and even so realistically drawn (I'm talking about graphics, because the action itself is very unrealistic).
Thank you so much for the Story of an Incomplete Man arc, after all, I read the book and watched the movie – I really love this story. Although I rather really love this hero, who was so beaten up by life and did this to this life.…

He's a very strong pilot, and the drawing reminded me of a Death Note.
I'm pleasantly surprised that I came across this thing.

It seems to me that the director resorted to this method to show how the views of the two conflicting parties differ on the same situation, when under the influence of emotions, lack of information, and personal interest, the opponent appears as a villain, and the spm character is white, sincere and fluffy. And the truth, as we know, is always in the middle.
