It seems like no matter what nationality you are, no matter what place you come from, no matter what color you are, the governments are all the same.
This anime did make me cry but I am not ashamed of what my country did. We wanted this war to end but the stubborn Japanese wanted to keep going. They should have learned sooner. I bet the Japanese would have nuked us if they had the chance. I only wish after Japan surrendered that America sent Aid. I hope the new Peace Memorials help put this souls to rest.
Those who you see melted in walking flesh are already gone. The most merciful thing you can do is put them out of their misery. When we tested the hydrogen bomb American sailors were melted to the hull of the ships from the heat. We had no choice. We shot them and ended their misery. Death is indeed most merciful. And most rewarding. Great things have come from this atrocity. Now we know what man is capable of. So we will do what it takes to never let this happen again. That's what America wants
I am happy that those who were killed by the blast suffered a quicker death than those who suffered from cancer or other diseases. We did what was needed for the good of the world. If the Japanese had not gone on a world conquering rampage in the first place then this never would have happened. Believe me when I say this we never wanted this either. No nation should have to have done this. What's done is done. And now Japan has grown stronger than ever and now we know what peace can avoid.
@pointly Yes, but these were INNOCENT CIVILIANS that were killed. Men, women, children, and the elderly were KILLED, because the government refused to surrender. These civilians didn't deserve to die because of a wack job that didn't want their country to surrender in the war. The Americans could of had a better solution than doing something terrible like this.
He sees this war to be unreasonable, people die due to the ignorance of men. He was against this war, and did not support the Japanese force. The people around him considered a traitor and harrased his family
What's striking to me is when he mentioned that war turns people against eachother, they wouldn't geniunely hate the Americans if it weren't for this war... He was right. He had a rich understanding, Gen could of learnt a lot from him. Too bad he died. :(
America was trying to end the war. It would have ended with the other nonnucler bombs but Japan didnt want to surrender. I'm only 17 but I do a lot of studying of WW2 Because it intrests me, but anyway back to the subject at hand. America wounldn't have bombed Japan with a nuke but they had to, twice even to get thier point across. I'm not saying that my country is a saint but we did what we had to, to end the war.
To tell you the truth this doesn't actually sadden me, it just gives me shivers and a really bad feeling. Now the dogs death saddened me, the humans, nah.
It's called war...It sux but true, America isn't a saint but Japan isn't either. Japan tooken down pearl harbor and many islands In the pacific, and america used the first nuclear weapons. Both sides suffer war and civilian casualties...
You can't blame it all on America . As I said again, Remember Pearl Harbor? As an old saying goes......an eye for an eye...sorry to be hard but it's the truth I'm afraid
America warned the Japanese that they were going to Drop an Atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the Japanese just ignored the warning. then on the 6th August 1945 and millions of people died. But Japan continued to fight. Then the Americans warned the Japanese again, this time the bomb will dropped on Nagasaki, 3 days later the bomb was dropped on Nagasaki and millions of people dird of radiation sickness or too close to to the bomb or the quake. Japan then surrendered
One of my dying wishes was to go to Japan I know what America did is bad but Japan's not a saint either. Let's not forget about pearl harbor as well as the first nuclear weapons used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I continue to pray for both sides and hope one day we will have a land without war.
@ELSPARROWRYU you are right no matter what they do to try and atone for this grave sin it's useless all because of the mistake of a single man who started the whole thing which led to another mistake maaaaaaaaan the reclessness of the human when will this stop?
Yes, this act was awful, but America had its reasons. They either dropped the bomb and kill about 700,000 civilians and try to end the war, or have a huge battle that end in more than 2,000,000 deaths all together. You may wish for no more war, but that isn't going to happen. It's human.
@Halo3Killionare *70,000. Where are you kids getting your statistics from? Besides... China killed 1000 TIMES that of their OWN PEOPLE during their industrial revolution.
@Kari166 a wall built of stone can block the radiation flash of an atomic bomb depending on how thick it is and what it's made of. the girl next to him only suffered burns on the side that directly facing the explosion.
@Kari166 The first flash toasts everything it touches, but it can be stopped by any material. For example, some bodies were found the upper half of their faces intact because their hats provided shadow.
We watched a documentary on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings last year in my history class, one of the guys in the plane that dropped Little Boy said that he looked back, and out of the top of the mushroom cloud there was a rainbow coming out. All the colors of the rainbow just shooting out of the top. It seems odd to me that something that sounds so beautiful can come out of something so deadly and destructive. It just sounds like it doesn't belong there
Had we not dropped the bombs and ended the war, the Russians would surely have joined in the invasion of the home islands and thus we'd have a North and South Japan and the Russians would have done to the women and children of Tokyo what they did to those in Berlin. The bombs saved the Japanese race.
I blame AA defense. They completely blew it. Instead of shooting down that B-29 with artillery or intercepting it with fighters they didn't do a thing, so horror happened.
@Incathelizard Thats not even true, the Cold war is over and the only people using these weapons are North koreans. America and Russia have urged countries to get rid of all of them
@DarPower1 Oh really? So, we've gotten rid of all the nukes and no new countries have become nuclear powers? What other fantasies do you also believe?
Atrocity is recognized as such by victim and predator alike, by all who learn about it at whatever remove. Atrocity has no excuses, no mitigating argument. Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity. It is self-perpetuating upon itself — a barbarous form of incest. Whoever commits atrocity also commits those future atrocities thus bred.
The destruction at the center of the blast reached 4,000 degrees, and anyone in that area most likely were vaporized. Further out from there anyone exposed had been burned to death by radiation and initial heat. Others were probably crushed under a building or happened to be blocked by a wall. (like Gen and his family) The aftermath was as serious as the start, after fallout came raining from the sky.
This wouldn't of happened if Japan never started with us I mean don't get me wrong it's sad but in all honesty they asked for it sorry If I offended anyone just stating my point
@helldino101 Japan attacked the US because of the embargos put against Japan that throttled its economy. From the get-go it was the US government's fault, not the American people but the fascist government of FDR.
My civil ethics teacher's father was a WWII veteran who faught the japs in the pacific, he died last year, and I never got the chance to met him, but if I had the chance to ask him, you think he would agree to this bombing when his daughter teached me civil ethics?
Recent nuclear weaponary is 10,000 tiems more powerful than the Little boy and Fat Man nuclear bombs, with the advent of the hydrogen bomb much changed.
Yes. People exposed to the flash had their skin instantly melted (no combustion so it was not scorched). People's skin was literally falling off their body like it was hot wax. They died shortly after obviously from exposure. Only a few people actually survived after such burns.
@longtail4711 look at how Americans have gone apeshit over the economic crisis-well Japan has had similar conditions for decades now yet they are treated as just wacky when their society reacts bady to this situation. There is a lot to be said for national sovereignty.
@Arkantum Yeah, the manga is definately more detailed and descriptive. Think they were afraid the Americans would go around raping and collecting their balls in that one; terrifying!
Did you notice that while being perished, that mother was still trying to reach for her child? That scene and the dog and the little girl, all of them, are...horrible. I can't stop crying. I just don't get the people who try to justify such a despicalbe action by offering different excuses and justifications.
Power is achieved through the persuit of greed, and greed is a demon no human can resist if it's presented greatly enough within a close and easy reach. On that, it will always be the same, greedy weasels in power that will do anything to gain more power and keep control.
@BassFever74 They probably sensed it would be coming. I know it sounds crazy but dogs are able to predict storms and we don't know much of what goes on in an ant's head.
@trekkicat they can probaly but it would most likely feel like a living hell as if your being stung by 20 tarlantula wasps every second but not collapsing or dieing
yeah, it ended one war,but it started another ,the cold war.After this act of power of usa the soviets built an A-bomb too.Now ,there are so many nucluear weapons that could easily destroy the planet and all the life in it countless times,not to tell all the money these weapons costed.That money could have been used for productive reasons(science,education,feeding the poor).NUCLEAR WEAPONS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BUILT,they put all Life in risk
when i see this...when i see what we americans have done..im at a loss of words and i cannot breath. being one of the most powerful countires u'd think we'd be a bit kinder, but wen it comes to proving outpower, were ruthless..sometimes (no offense to partiotics and vets)..i feel kind of disrespectful to the american government...ive lost respect for my own country..troll me all u want, but that wont change the horrednous past we left on so many people.
the truth about all this wasnt for japs to surrender it was to show the russians the power the U.S. held so in other words japs were just test subjects.
That scene with all the burned people walking through the streets is one of the scariest things i've ever seen, mostly because that's how it really happened.
I HATE WAT THE WORLD HAS COME TO!!!! I HATE BOMBINGS, KILLINGS, WAR!!!! I WISH WE COULD ALL GET ALONG!!!! THE LIVES LOST THAT DAY AND MANY MORE LIKE MAKES ME SICK!!!! I HATE WAR!!!!!!
@A1Qicks It wasn't. Most historians agree that had Hiroshima and Nagasaki been spared, it was likely that the war would've still ended with a few weeks.
If you think they deserved this your going to hell the civilians didn't deserve this. How would you feel if this happened to you if everyone you know and love burned and you could do nothing to stop it you would feel like you didnt deserve this no one does were all fucking human this is why I'm so ashamed of America
@Anathema1984 Only the people who experimented on your grandfather would deserve to die such a death. The innocent civilians, livestock, and pets didn't deserve this. Before you try and argue, my grandfather was in the Occupation of Japan. I have a half-Japanese uncle through that. Have I met this uncle? No, because my grandfather never kept in contact with the Japanese woman. See, it's people like you that think if some people did something to their relatives, then anyone from there is the same
@Anathema1984 And to lump people together like that is what causes wars, bloodfueds, and everything else wrong with the world. And perhaps some people were merely taking orders, hmm? In WWII several Nazi soldiers went into the army to provide for their families, not because they hated Jews or gypsies. It's like how saying that all dog owners are Nazis because Hitler liked dogs. We all know that is false. The same applies to the Japanese, some were just civilians who never knew your Grandfather.
Im not sure why you chose to try to "troll" me and will ignore any comments you make after this, however out of courtesy I will give you this one response. I understand "big picture" veiwpoint and daresay even better than you. If you cant understand how to see the earth and all its inhabitants as one organism and only see contrast present in nation v. nation or us v. them, you lack the comprehension of the "big picture". I hope one day you do. If not then so be it. Goodbye.
@tiraivysexy I see. So you consider your position too weak to withstand a debate. Imagine my lack of surprise.
If you understood a big picture viewpoint (and history for that matter) "better than me", to quote you, then you never would've written your original response to begin with. So, you refuted your own point there. But A for effort.
@Dudeawesome1000 They aren't zombies, their mind is set on nothing but survival, and they walk around with no thought of whether they're going live or die, in a way, they're zombies that aren't dead.
I remember I saw a picture taken in Hiroshima of a shadow on some stairs. It seems someone was sitting on the stairs when the bomb exploded.The person evaporated, but the shadow remained there, like a picture. It was very strange
history would be so much more interesting if they produced more movies like this...they should do a pearl harbor cartoon anime as well as a holocaust one and any other war one...for some reason seeing gruesome scenes of death and destruction in cartoon form makes the understanding of history like this more comprehendable and you learn alot more then you do from reading it in books and from lectures...wish they showed this when I was back in High school...
if the japanese leaders surrendered to the allied ultimatum months earlier thiz woudnt hav to happen , based on the japs war crimes tht they didnt admit this was a deserved bombing it was a nescessary evil .
i went to Hiroshima in 2008 and i paid my respect to the innocent Japanese civilians who perished during the A-Bomb attack. A lot of women and students died...
Now, the eyeball and finger part probably wasn't accurate, but it was to show how bad the damage was. People were skinless and covered in ash and walking around, they did look like zombies. Pretty scary.
Actually, this movie is very accurate. The part where shinji was burned actually happened to a woman, her son was trapped and alive, but she had to leave him and let him burn in order for herself to live.
we definately shouldn't have bombed hiroshima, a population center that had been spared from the numerous air raids. An sparesly populated area in the country side should have been more adaquate to send a message, "Your cities will be next." Fewer people would have died.
It will only get worse from here. These bombs were nothing compared to what the next ones will do. And that is assuming we're lucky and the next bomb is nuclear or hydrogen based, and not a chemical or biological weapon where you take days to die, or minutes where you are vomiting your innards out before your eyes.
I am an American, but what we've done in the past will never be justified. We killed innocent people, men, women, and children, and we will do it again many times over. Our government is sick but that won't change.
oh we know, everyone does terrible things, sooner or later, that kingdom acts upon acts against man. It's just the United States did some sick shit like nuking two major cities. killings billions of people.
@wolfshifter13 The japanese gov wasn't backing down even after the first nuke so the allies acted accordingly to try and halt the war - attacking a city rather than an exclusively military target was the fastest means to this.It was a terrible act of war and could consider perhaps better alternatives in hindsight, but the American gov was faced with some very difficult decisions to resolve a crisis, thekind of decisions you or I will never have to make. :(
@RichyUK86 I hope the hell you are not justifying this horrid act. perhaps because you knew non of those people might be easier for you to except their horrid deaths, but those of us with hearts and compassion can't except this tragity EVER. it will forever remain, the darkest act ever committed by America. And it will NEVER be forgotten.
@RascalCoyote I see where u're coming from, Coyote, and no I don't condone the decision to use the nuke on a civilian target. Nope, don't agree to taking that action at all, not to say I'd have known what's best to do in their position. But from a historical perspective, it's important to try to understand why they had taken that kind of action in that situation. I hate that they did that, but it's not black and white
@RichyUK86 Yeah. The sick thing was, the Japanese government STILL didn't give in after Hiroshima. So we took Nagasaki too. So senseless. So horrifying. Only humans...
Well I give you props for admitting it. I'm ashamed to tell people overseas.
I don't consider myself part of any country, I don't assimilate to American views.
Matter of fact, I live by my own law. If this world (The places favorable to live) wasn't inhabited by ecumene, I would possibly live in my own area, independent of every other governmental system.
Damn, sometimes I wish I lived on an uninhabited island or something, away from human selfishness..
medical experiment test subjects (yes even worse than the germans), who poisoned wells and fields, who gave out poison food and candy to conquered people, I have never seen any sign of mass protests or even militant action by it's citizens to stop the war. therefore I have to conclude that they were for the war. (german citizens did try millitant action against gov, geman officers tryed to kill hittler). therefore as i see it there was NO REAL CHOICE then to nuke them into submission!!!
"barbarians" (thats what all non japanese are).. the amercan forces tried everyhing they could think of but barely saved any of them. and yes one reason used was to test it as a few cities had been left untouched so as to make test possible. that changes nothing the use of the bombs as sick and cruel as the results were was NESSISSARY to save the lives of thousands of amercans, keep in mind WHO STARTED the war, who was useing biolagical weapons, who was useing helpless prissoners as --continued
people always tent to go on about that the states should not have dropped the bomb. that japan was already finished. japan would have been finished as soon as the last japanese was dead. theyt were prepareing to fight to the death, man woman and child. now people say it would never had happened. wll there is a good indicater that it would have namely saipan, the people of the island convinced by the gov and army, committed mass suicide rather then be captured and tortured by the-- continued next

@3VERSONxxx
Yes. People exposed to the flash had their skin instantly melted (no combustion so it was not scorched). People's skin was literally falling off their body like it was hot wax. They died shortly after obviously from exposure. Only a few people actually survived after such burns.

@longtail4711 look at how Americans have gone apeshit over the economic crisis-well Japan has had similar conditions for decades now yet they are treated as just wacky when their society reacts bady to this situation. There is a lot to be said for national sovereignty.

Did you notice that while being perished, that mother was still trying to reach for her child? That scene and the dog and the little girl, all of them, are...horrible. I can't stop crying. I just don't get the people who try to justify such a despicalbe action by offering different excuses and justifications.

Power is achieved through the persuit of greed, and greed is a demon no human can resist if it's presented greatly enough within a close and easy reach. On that, it will always be the same, greedy weasels in power that will do anything to gain more power and keep control.

Anathema1984 6 months ago
@Anathema1984 Only the people who experimented on your grandfather would deserve to die such a death. The innocent civilians, livestock, and pets didn't deserve this. Before you try and argue, my grandfather was in the Occupation of Japan. I have a half-Japanese uncle through that. Have I met this uncle? No, because my grandfather never kept in contact with the Japanese woman. See, it's people like you that think if some people did something to their relatives, then anyone from there is the same
69Kambash64 6 months ago
@Anathema1984 And to lump people together like that is what causes wars, bloodfueds, and everything else wrong with the world. And perhaps some people were merely taking orders, hmm? In WWII several Nazi soldiers went into the army to provide for their families, not because they hated Jews or gypsies. It's like how saying that all dog owners are Nazis because Hitler liked dogs. We all know that is false. The same applies to the Japanese, some were just civilians who never knew your Grandfather.

@NinjaRunningWild
Im not sure why you chose to try to "troll" me and will ignore any comments you make after this, however out of courtesy I will give you this one response. I understand "big picture" veiwpoint and daresay even better than you. If you cant understand how to see the earth and all its inhabitants as one organism and only see contrast present in nation v. nation or us v. them, you lack the comprehension of the "big picture". I hope one day you do. If not then so be it. Goodbye.
tiraivysexy 3 weeks ago
@tiraivysexy I see. So you consider your position too weak to withstand a debate. Imagine my lack of surprise.
If you understood a big picture viewpoint (and history for that matter) "better than me", to quote you, then you never would've written your original response to begin with. So, you refuted your own point there. But A for effort.

we definately shouldn't have bombed hiroshima, a population center that had been spared from the numerous air raids. An sparesly populated area in the country side should have been more adaquate to send a message, "Your cities will be next." Fewer people would have died.

It will only get worse from here. These bombs were nothing compared to what the next ones will do. And that is assuming we're lucky and the next bomb is nuclear or hydrogen based, and not a chemical or biological weapon where you take days to die, or minutes where you are vomiting your innards out before your eyes.

@wolfshifter13 The japanese gov wasn't backing down even after the first nuke so the allies acted accordingly to try and halt the war - attacking a city rather than an exclusively military target was the fastest means to this.It was a terrible act of war and could consider perhaps better alternatives in hindsight, but the American gov was faced with some very difficult decisions to resolve a crisis, thekind of decisions you or I will never have to make. :(

And it will NEVER be forgotten.
RascalCoyote 4 months ago
@RascalCoyote I see where u're coming from, Coyote, and no I don't condone the decision to use the nuke on a civilian target. Nope, don't agree to taking that action at all, not to say I'd have known what's best to do in their position. But from a historical perspective, it's important to try to understand why they had taken that kind of action in that situation. I hate that they did that, but it's not black and white

Well I give you props for admitting it. I'm ashamed to tell people overseas.

Matter of fact, I live by my own law. If this world (The places favorable to live) wasn't inhabited by ecumene, I would possibly live in my own area, independent of every other governmental system.
Damn, sometimes I wish I lived on an uninhabited island or something, away from human selfishness..

medical experiment test subjects (yes even worse than the germans), who poisoned wells and fields, who gave out poison food and candy to conquered people, I have never seen any sign of mass protests or even militant action by it's citizens to stop the war. therefore I have to conclude that they were for the war. (german citizens did try millitant action against gov, geman officers tryed to kill hittler). therefore as i see it there was NO REAL CHOICE then to nuke them into submission!!!
