Anime set in and near Hiroshima during WWII, so no prizes for guessing some of the themes and plot happenings. As it turns out, In This Corner of the World is very nice - the animation is wonderfully painterly, and the overall tone surprisingly poetic as well as attentive to the details of its young protagonist's life and those of the people around her, achieving a smooth blend of the imaginative and the realistic.
