Synopsis:

Three years have passed since little Gen and his mother lost their family to "Pika", the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. They and everyone around them are trying their best to survive and find a place in the new world, which is not easy given the scale of destruction and the fact that people are still dying from the post-effects of exposure to radiation. Gen finds new friends among the homeless kids who treasure their freedom and tries hard to help his mother and live by his father's principles.

Kyoko is a cheerful girl who is growing up in war-time Tokyo. She has four elder brothers, doesn’t like music lessons, is frightened of her grandmother and is excited that a baby is on the way. When she grows up, Kyoko says, she wants to be a war nurse so she can tend to her uncle in the armed forces. As a child she’s a little prone to crying, but tries to be more mature when her younger brother is born. However, Kyoko’s typical childhood changes when the Americans begin to bomb Japan. Kyoko is sent into the countryside to live with her aunt, and soon she will have to face the reality of war.

Both anime take a tragic look at WW2 from the eyes of the people, mostly children, that were affected by it personally. Even though faced with plently of dispare, hope is never tossed aside. If you liked one check out the other.
