The sequel continues Gen's family's struggles a few years on. It's more rambling (evidence of the original manga source), but manages some poignancy as well. In the end, Barefoot Gen isn't just a personal story, it's a metaphor for Japan's post-war journey. 7 years 5 months ago -

I felt this was a big step down from the previous film. Most of the themes were dealt with more effectively then, and Ryuta was incredibly annoying. 11 years 10 months ago -

Not as good as the first, but still a touching story. 12 years 5 months ago
