Plot
While Shintaro spends his time like any other rebellious young man that bullies his parents and disrespects his neighbors, he is in for quiet a surprise when his Grandmother shows up out of the blue and yanks him up by the ear. Refusing to put up with her for three days, he along with his best friend Yusuke escape to the one place she'd never look for them. Her home town. While there, the two accidentally end up at the Byakkotai Memorial grounds... and as they wander around killing time... they learn a few things about their ancestors that unexpectedly leave them in a very quite and reflective mood.

Really good!
It has this sad side, a bit of an comedian side, and a drama side too. But it really moved me. The second part however (or second episode) is even better than the first.
I truly recommend.
