  • So do they melt?

  • By the time when Gen and the other kid worked there and started cleaning and everything... I've started to notice the problem they've left Gen's mother for quite a long time.

    It would of been a smarter choice for Gen to convince his employer to play him a little bit of salary for his service so far... this way Gen could of bought the needed milk to feed Tomoko. This would of been better than waiting for so long to make 100 Yen to buy a load of milk, by this time, Tomoko died of starvation :(

  • Is this the back story for Speed Racer?

  • it shows tits

  • if you cant take this serious since its animation..and haven't realized its based on actual true events and apply that logic to it..youre pretty much an idiot..

  • Boy:How can you go without saying good buy Baby: Ok one babys can't talk two stop shaking me dumbass.

  • @redk942 Your fucking English is terrible, and you have the worst mind. You're too pathetic to delve deep into what the cartoon is trying to bring out to all of us. Instead, you fucking look at the animation and obvious corny-ness in this cartoon. Heck. It's a cartoon. Not a fucking documentary, you uneducated bitch.

  • damn come home babys dead im not gona lie I busted out laughing at this part its prety funny cause they got all that milk for nothin lol

  • Its to cartoony to be taken serious if it were real people I could feel there pain but there cartoons and Japs

  • How is that sad boohoo who gives a fuck

  • @redk942 "Half the people who play games like this don't care about story or how anything happens they just wana kill shit they are ignorant and small minded with short atention spans and don't pay attention to jack shit you can tell this is the truth by reading the comments on any game with killing in it" Remember when you posted that, you pathetic waste of life.

  • So does Gen have Cancer now?

  • @newPrincebalad no but its revealed in barefoot gen 2 his mother does

  • That was so damn sad!

  • How sad.

  • Gen lil brother sounds just as the kid from FLCL :O

  • For all you naysayers who said we shouldn't have dropped the bomb: the only alternative was to invade and conquer Japan, city by city. Millions would have died. The bomb was bad but better than the alternative.

  • I been thinking about this and it feels like all citizens of every nation are victims to a corrupt government who don't give a damn about the public. But I believe that both the government and its people should live in harmony. But that can only work out if we have the right leadership. A leader is supposed to be caring to his people so they don't end up like "this."

  • curse you usa and your lies telling use we are a great con-trey and give use all a free life but you are not using war and violence and be greed and selfishness to make this econ me of a land that we live in .

  • @haseosango what? Every government is a demon all its own, and each country is the people held beneath the thumb of the demons. The demons love to fight with each other, without worrying about what it will do to the people. The people are merely things that they view as toys....

  • @haseosango usa may be a great country but this is sad

  • @haseosango You have no fucking idea what you're talking about do you? You don't realize that the bombing was a last effort decision, that after Japan was slapped around they became an industrial power house, with who's help? the United States! You're a fucking idiot who gets the wrong message from a great work like this, who wants to blame somebody for evil rather than learn from the mistakes and work to prevent it. Scum like you are the fools causing wars and violate out of hate

  • @slammarbyhammerone your the fucking idiot im not try to say that war is the answer . im trying to say that the government makes many problems not even to say that they even think we are noting to them if all hell brakes they'd save them sells and nuke us if they had the chants . and i know some day there going to go two far so go a head make my fucking day y ou will never know what there going to do when something goes wrong

  • They're some troopers to keep going after everyone in their faily dies and their homes destroyed etc. After that milk incident I would definately go ape shit.

  • Makers of a bomb: die in hell

  • @81Szczery Don't blame it on the physicists and scientists than produced the bomb, it wasn't their decision for what was to be done with it. Nor should you blame the U.S

  • @sondeleb Blame it on the Stupid People in this world that need to be Governed

    The Atomic Bomb-

    Enola Gay-

    US Government-

    Government in General-

    Stupid Dickfags that need to be Governed

    If anything, if everyone in this world could govern themselves, it wouldn't be this way. But there's people that take things too far and turn that utopian world into anarchy(violent non-government, NOT non government in general), or get greedy about land and power and demand more.

    Blame those fags.

  • @LaVivaGan You need to realize that Communism is amazing in theory, but in the real world Government is necessary. Feudalism was replaced by Government because people cannot govern themselves, Hell Japan is a perfect example in history of the changes in power without a stable government with all its civil wars through time, but let me guess? there all "Dickfags" right? you have no education

  • @slammarbyhammer I made that comment... like a month ago, and I don't even know why you're suddenly having your sloppy period all over the comment board.

    I wish I could present a comeback, but I honestly can't remember what my original comment was.

    I moved on with my life since I made mine a month ago.

    And you seem pretty confident, so I'll try to say this as nice as I can so I don't hurt your pride..

    Don't reply to old comments. People have lives... you should look into finding one..

  • Oh, so the American milk arrives late, but the bomb's right on time, is that it?!

  • @Badgaldinger Little Boy was 15 minutes late and Fat Man didn't even hit the right target.

  • I still blame Pandora

  • This series is so god damn depressing, it makes me ashamed to be american

  • @CrimsonXdef why? cause they dropped a bomb that probably saved ALL of Japan? understand this the bombs were the worst things ever created but to say they are the worst things ever done is BULLSHIT, those 2 bombs killed what half a million? how many do you think would have died if the US invaded? ALL OF THEM, the Japanese Empire was a bunch of Warlords, back then American politicians were actually good people, mostly

  • @tigran914 Thank god some one who knows what there saying, and not some dum ass who just asmumes the U.S was evil and japan was good

  • @vulcanofwar count against the enemy's armed forces? Instead of a civilian population why not target a military one? In the end loss of life in war is an inevitable factor. people who wish to live whatever is left of their life in peace should be respected and left out of it.

  • @vulcanofwar What happened to "honor" and respect in the battle field? Since when was it necessary to attack non combatants to win a war? Even if they are the enemy nation. Humans don't fight themselves in war... They fight their ideals. Look at 9/11 for example, was the sacrifice of all that life necessary? What did the terrorist accomplish? Other than to be labeled cowards. The sacrifice of life in the war in japan was inevitable, we knew this... So why not take the fight and make the loses c

  • @vulcanofwar Well, friend unfortunately I don't share your views of warfare. You see in a way war is a form of art, in which all combatants are aware of risks and loses implicated. Now notice I use the word COMBATANTS that means the armed forces of such nations that decide to engage in the act if war. Now watch this movie again and tell me how were these people supposed to defend themselves from an armed threat? That is why nuclear arms are the LOWEST form of weapons reserved for cowards!

  • @peenut2k7 it looked more like shock to me...

  • i started crying :(|

  • Somehow i dont think tickling someone with radiation burns would make them laugh...

  • @BlackValleyRequiem You heard him any human interaction makes him happy

  • Guys, we couldn't have tested more! We were in an economic depression and the bomb cost SO MUCH, I can't even tell how much through inflation.

  • LMFAO

  • As much as I understand the necessity of the atom bombs, it does not stop me feeling awful it ever had to happen. I sincerely hope that it never happens again.

  • The U.S military are a bunch of gay asses, even that fucking plane was gay. I am an American and this makes me feel ashamed of my damn country!

  • @LockheartEnterprise u do realize the americans helped afterwards so that they can rebuild, yea it sucks it happened really bad but tho i feel stupid 2 say this im sure they didnt plan 4 it 2 b this bad... they should of tested more

  • @LockheartEnterprise if they didn't drop it the war would have still been going

  • @LockheartEnterprise You're overreacting. We didn't really have a choice. Japan wasn't going to give up and they just said that directly too. Even after the First Atomic they wouldn't give up. If you're were smart enough to realize that then you would understand.

  • The U.S military are a bunch of gay asses, even that fucking plane was gay. I am an American and this makes me feel ashamed of my damn country!

  • @Xsmoke657x u should have died in the bomb u selfish person u should see what happend to all of them!

  • Cursed you Theodore Van Kirk! You devil! You murderer! And you and your friends call that honor!

  • Wow some of these comments are so stupid.. America cruel?... Crying?... Really??? R u high? Japan stabbed our backs without saying so we took out the knife n stabbed them and they wanted more so bam there ya go 2 atom bombs on a silver fucking platter you fucking dumb asses... Im not racist but japan was so ignorant in WWII

  • 5:35 Gen seems really goddamn happy his little sister is dead.

  • This really was heartbreaking, when I watched the scene with Tomoko, I just burst into tears.

  • god blessed ryouta and the mother and tomoko with gen.

  • Man i don't really cry but when the baby died tears actually came to my eyes

  • @AsskickinSasquatch Yeah. Though I wouldn't think that Ass-kicking Sasquatches could cry lol.

  • Tomoko had a bright future. If only they didn't stop and fart like pigs.

  • @SlySquriel The baby would have died even if they had brought back the milk sooner babies have no mean to fight starvation

  • I dont wanna watch the ending anymore

  • this is a beautiful film :p

  • At least the US built it up to the economic powerhouse it is today.

  • Poor Tomoko...

  • I actually cried. Thanks.

  • This is a great anime, very heart-warming and touching, as well as depressing. It really shows you that real human nature will never die, and that there are positive AND negative portions of it.

  • lol, nowadays 100 yen is $1, and 10 yen is 10 cents.

  • @YesIm10 milk was like 5 cents a gallon back then

  • :'(

    

  • Breaks my heart.....

  • 0:07 THAT THAR FACE ISH FUNNEH

  • Thats it. this is officially the saddest most depressing anime ive ever seen, the fact that they'er normal people makes it even sadder. Fuck

  • @Leaxofthenight sad part is this is a true story T_T

  • holy shit this made me cry so much, ive cryed over anime but this by far made me so depressed. i hate when in wars inocent people die, its always happened but still.... so fucked up :(

  • that guy is such a severe masochist. Poor guy.

  • ;w; I loved the two boys and the way they made the man happy :D

  • Just when I thought it was going to get better...I WAS SO WRONG ;_____________;

  • I hope they make an anime about unit 731 Nanking massacre Bataan death march etc.. And humanize the victims like they did here

  • Haha. . .he's trying to bring her back to life by shaking the shit out of her.

  • despite of the odds and the dreadful circumstances, i just love how Gen always remains kind and understanding

  • Gen reminds me a lot of Guido Orefice from Life is Beautiful. His personality never changes even in the worst times.

  • The truth hurts

  • And pearl harbor was a kid getting hurt on a playground compared to this. The pearl harbor militants knew the dangers, and knew their fate. Next to none civilians died in pearl harbor.

  • you know 911 right? Remember the terror and damage that caused? Think of Hiroshima, the people who wanted peace, were murderd. Imagin one day you woke up to hear ur loved ones screaming as they are burned in there skins, and looking out the window to see dead and burning- live and dying people in the street, and blood flowing in roads, and, thinking the terror is over, you feel an unstopable pain of radation sickness, making your life a liveing hell. 100000 people died there in pain.

  • @Eman6881 Implying Japan wanted peace when they were indoctrined that they were forced to fight this war by their God Emperor.

  • 5:08 rape face O_O

  • you've got to admire Gen alittle bit

  • i won't argue with any of you guys on here

    for all the bombing we went through from the Japanese those two bombs made up for them easily

    both sides are squitz at worst, lets leave it at that

  • There's no sense in blaming people for things done generations before ours. Calamities like these are beyond blame.

  • you guys think THIS is sad...

    Wait till you see it in Japanese. Where its a real boy crying.

  • .....damn...i cant even imagine

  • .....damn

  • WOW... I think this is the first time an anime has made me cry like this. Powerful, powerful stuff. I do like that this movie isn't anti-American but places the blame for this tragedy where it belongs - on BOTH sides.

  • @Superbook4Eva

    You know where the blame really lies?

    Hitler. He started it with hatred, and it stirred up violence and cruelty in all of humanity.

  • @Treemeadow - No argument here. Don't forget Mussolini too.

  • I think my heart might have broke a little.

  • gen tamoko is in a better place known as heaven now

  • *too busy crying over the baby sister's death to make an actual post*

  • they then move to nagasaki.....in hien sight that wasnt the bast idea.

  • @shakenmikeg14 There acually were a handfull of people who survived BOTH nuclear bombs.

  • i liked tomoko :'(

  • Couldn't those people leave the ruins and go somewhere far away, like the third island of Japan? I mean, there's plenty of Japan that wasn't bombed. Couldn't they go to those places instead of hanging around the ruins?

  • @dragonofthedarknight By 8/45, over eight million Japanese were refugees.

  • And i thoght she was going to live.

  • WTF

    

  • This movie is fucking insane

  • wait...they spent a whole 100 yen on just milk? woundnt it have been smarter to buy a lot of food also?

  • this is so fucking depressing... :(

  • @PALACAT123

    fuck fuck fuck fuck :( It's so depressing indeed...

  • oh...man....I just want to cry...

  • @Mr28091995 Damn right motherfucka

  • Are they singing to the tune of the Japanese National Anthem?

  • that sucks that the baby sisteer dies right when they got the milk......*crying*

  • @BadEgg55 uhh i read comments while video was loading you ruined it :( sadd

  • wow sad move

  • i fill sad for that guy : )

  • Just a few facts about the American casualties if there was an invasion of Japan. Generals Marshall and MacArthur estimated the total number of casualties as 31,000 to 65,000. The maximum estimated number of deaths at this point was 46,000. This is ten-folds less than the common belief.

  • i support america but this is to dam sad

  • @Mr28091995 I wouldn't say that. American's invent everything. Without them the world would be very different, and likely, a lot worse than it is. Do you expect China to fight against the Islamic Terrorist forces?

    And before you ask and point fingers, I'm not American.

  • @andyhuyga i agree becaouse the world war migthve likely happened and hitler would suceed and russians WE SAVED YOUR ASS so dont bitch at us that we suck

  • @OMFGYOURDRIVINGMEINS Canada's ass didn't need saving back then =P.

  • wait...Powdered milk...isnt that the stuff where a lot of baby's died from in 2008 or something

  • @13Psycho13 powdered milk is only dehydrated milk. all you need to do is add a little water and mix it and you have milk.i think what happened was some toxin went in it or something.

  • @13Psycho13

    yes that was in china. They put the wrong stuff into it.

  • @13Psycho13 Shhhh.... What they dont know wont hurt them.

  • god bless america???? bull shit

  • @Y2Jericho96 he is beeing sarcastic. -.-

  • @Y2Jericho96

    Look, every country has its own evil, no one better than each other. America had no choice, they wanted to end the war. Each sin has its consequences.

  • @Y2Jericho96

    This does not help. I understand how you dislike the United States for bombing Japan, if nothing stupid happened, nothing intelligent would be done about it.

  • @Y2Jericho96 if we hadn't nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and chose to invade Japan, MILLIONS would have died, and even innocent families would've been slaughtered by allied and Japanese troops, also they were teaching your "innocent" families how to kill people you know? And it was Japan's stubborn government that provoked us to drop the bomb. Now let's see, would you rather have millions die? Or around 100,000? Wow, you'd rather see millions die? nice logical choice jackass.

  • @Hperman09 Why does everyone repeat this? It's bullcrap. You repeat everything your government tells you? Then answer me now, why couldn't our super intelligent and moral government drop a few bombs on military outposts or where the emperor was living? Wouldn't that make sense? Take out the people we're fighting against, not innocent preschoolers.

  • @dragonofthedarknight It was total war(look that up) at that time because civialins often help the government. not like low-intensity war like iraq and Vietnam. Hiroshima housed 44000 army troops. Japanese industrial cities was intertwined in the civilian populations: Always. There were very few "square miles" of industrial space. At first, no one believed that 1 bomb could destroy a city. Not even Truman or US bommber pilots. No one also had any idea of radiation danger and its effects.

  • @Hperman09 So, they didn't test them before they used them!? What? Okay I've no faith in the government. I'm going to go live in a fricken hut in the forest. There were troops in Hiroshima? Meh, that makes it better... but still, they could have found a better spot. Why not bomb a rural area of Japan to show the Japanese what it can do, and then if they dont give up, drop it on some military training ground? I just refuse to believe that they couldnt do a better job at this.

  • @dragonofthedarknight In August 1st through 4th, we did tell the Japanese people by dropping leaflets over Hiroshima and Nagasaki to get the hell out of there. We also tell the exact date the A-bombs was going to be dropped. But most of them chose to stay to help the war-effort. Only Half of them left. It was also known that Japanese leaders armed their civilians(men, women, kids) to fight. Kill and trained to be like one make them soldiers-military targets as part of GC. It's fact.

  • @Hperman09 Okay, I retract my statement then. I didn't know that. Stupid Japanese gov't and honor. I'm just too confused on this matter now. I don't know where I stand anymore, sigh.

  • @dragonofthedarknight So in a sense, the nuke on two cities also destroyed the industrial ports easily and crippled the Japanese war-machine. This was the most humane solution and at the same time it wasn't used again afterwards. Although it's a tragic that these people died, it did save lives in a long run and ended all war in other fronts. Have you noticed today Japanese government has not apologized for their war crimes? ask any Asian who lived during those times and they will explain to u.

  • @Hperman09 I dont know any asians who lived during those times. Russia didn't apologize for its war crimes against my country either, (at least I dont think so) and USA didn't apologize what it did to us either, so Japan, welcome to the club :\

  • @dragonofthedarknight Russia didn't apologizes for what country?

  • @Hperman09 Poland. At least, I don't think they did; I could be wrong.

  • @dragonofthedarknight not to say civilians chose to go to war(i explain later), There are also Japanese ILLEGAL poison gas factories in Nagasaki too and those are against the Geneva convention. They are also use their Allied POWs, Japanese civlians, Vietnamese, and Chinese people there as part of Unit 731. They are also military industrial ports that supplied goods and air-planes. Read the book ""The Wages of Guilt" by Ian Buruma and he explain why it was necessary to nukes these cities.

  • @dragonofthedarknight We don't have smart bombs back then and it's hard to avoid killing civilians. Same goes for allies too. Not to say civilians chose to go to war. There are also Japanese ILLEGAL poison gas factories in Nagasaki too and those are against the Geneva convention. They are also use Allied POWs, their own people, Vietnamese, and Chinese there as part of Unit 731. Read the book ""The Wages of Guilt" by Ian Buruma and he explain why it was necessary to nukes these cities.

  • @Hperman09 I'll check that book out, but I still hold the firm belief that they could have done a better job at this. And the government of Japan is at fault too. Didn't they see the airplanes coming? Didn't they get the warnings? I'm not saying they should have gave up (they wouldnt) but couldnt they tell the people and evacuate them? or at least the children? I'm not blaming the US, I'm blaming the idiots who decided to drop the bomb and the idiots who ignored it.

  • @dragonofthedarknight First I was against the nukes we all know that but if you lived during that time in WW2 as a commander in chief, there was 4 options you would have chose.

  • The 1st was a demonstration: A. Problem is Japanese Officers and Civilians would have a belief the explosion was staged. The 2nd was operation downfall: A. Based on the casualties in Okinawa and Iwo Jima, the death toll would be far greater than that. The 3rd was blockade japan: A. Millions of civilians would starve to death and it would take too long to work. 4. In real life after 2 bombs japan was informed the no.3 was on it way. Even that some officer stated a coup to keep on fighting.

  • @Hperman09 Don't forget the closing Russians. Japan would have been raped and colonized by those damn commies.

    Communist bastards...

  • @UberMenschNowFilms

    So you're saying 2 atomic bombs is better than getting invaded by millions of commie bastards and resorting to communism for decades.

  • @Hperman09 the third was supposed to be in tokyo

  • @t3subde Tokyo was bombed many times throughout the periods of 1944-1945. The biggest blow was in March 10 1945 where 34 B-29s dropping 30,000 incendiaries bombs, killing 250,000(that is 5 times FAR worse than two nukes combined) so why the hell you need to drop a nuke there when it's already destroyed?

  • @Hperman09 well written and absolutely true.

  • @Hperman09 add the plans japan had with unit 731 to that list. There wasnt a lot of time left

  • What? Tomoko dies? that's so sad i feel like slapping the burn victim myself.

  • WTF!? the baby isnt supposed to die, its different in the book

  • if i had gone through that, i could never have as good an attitude as gen. he's really inspiring. this movie is heartbreaking and depressing but it's also very encouraging. of course, let's just hope and pray this kind of war voilence stops...

  • the person playing Gen sounds like kid Gokus voice in Dragon ball

  • @BlueRealta the Americans who are responsive for that

  • i think Tomoko should come back to life... The tears of Gen should have dripped onto her face and she would have drunk those tears and come back to life 0_o though thats a little gross...

  • @dancergirl1122 This is not bleach.
