This was one of the bleakest, most depressing animated works I have seen since When the Wind Blows. (Which also deals with the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse)
Even when this isn't an entirely faithful adaptation, it surely does capture the incredibly somber mood from the source material perfectly well. (In all honesty, I'm kinda glad the agonizing dog from the original tale was not included, that scene honestly would have made an already hopeless story borderline unwatchable)
Sure, it might be very depressing to watch, but stories like this are (tragically enough) still necessary as dark reminders of our destructive capacity as especies, being not only able to bring our own extinction but the end of the rest of life on earth as well.
And to think that there are only two years left until 2026...
