During World War II, a teenage Jewish girl named Anne Frank and her family are forced into hiding in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands.

Anne received a new diary from her father as a birthday present...

Very excellent movie of Anne Frank in Anime version

Imagine you are hiding in a house, and the Nazi forces are walking along the road right next to you. Or you&#39;re hiding on the top floor, and the Nazis are searching for you just below. We all know about the Holocaust and the fate of German Jews during WW2. There is nothing new to say about this. Like all other Jewish families, Anne Frank&#39;s family fell victim to Hitler&#39;s cruelty. While Anne&#39;s father is concerned about the safety of his family and other Jewish families, Hitler, who is exactly the same age as Anne&#39;s father, is intoxicated with the game of orphaning innocent children. Those kids who are still scared of lightning. Those kids who still sleep with their parents hugged. Those kids who haven&#39;t learned to cook yet. Those kids who haven&#39;t learned to shave yet. Those kids who haven&#39;t learned to keep an eye on their loved ones yet. Those kids who haven&#39;t fully discovered their life yet. Those children, like flowers, could live such a beautiful life. Anne is one of them. She spent her teenage years in a Secret Annex of 450 square feet. But at that time, she was supposed to swim in the sea or fly a colorful kite from the peak of the mountain. It was July 1942 when they went into hiding. They met another Jewish family there. Anne was barely 13 years old, and her elder sister Margot Frank was just 16. Last month, Anne received a new diary from her father as a birthday present. Diary writing has been a hobby since her childhood, but did anyone realize then that this time the red-checked diary would become a part of history... What wasn&#39;t in it? People with different ages and thoughts. Laughter, tears, marital strife, fear, conflict of personality in their daily life... Dreams, and of course, falling in love. None of them were supposed to be there, but the situation had brought them together. A cake was heavenly food for them, and merely some undergarments were the best birthday present! Anne described all these incidents in her diary. She was always worried about her friends. Maybe that&#39;s why she wrote diaries for her imaginary friends (e.g., Jettje, Emmy). But the one she wrote about most often is Kitty. It could be her friend Kitty Egyedi (but I think it&#39;s her pet cat, Moortje). People simply love to dream, to embrace dreams. And with these dreams, they survived in that small cottage for 2 years, 4 weeks, and 1 day. Anne wrote this long story to her Kitty, and our movie is all about this. &quot;Thanks to Madhouse for bringing this film to us. There is nothing more to say about the animation quality, as I admire Madhouse the most after Studio Ghibli. I truly loved how they captured every single detail exactly as they were. It was a heart-melting journey for me. I could imagine myself in Anne&#39;s place, and Anne did a great job fulfilling her dream. Off Topic: Throughout the entire film, we can see the world through Anne&#39;s perspective. Anne mentioned in her diary about Margot&#39;s Diary. As far as I know, Margot&#39;s diary was never found. According to her friends Barbara, Hilde, and Jetteke, Margot was a beautiful, charming, and intelligent young lady. Jetteke also mentioned that Margot was more precious to her. In my opinion, since Margot is older than Anne, naturally she was more mature. It would have been even more amazing if we could have known her point of view in that situation.&quot; There is also a Hollywood film called &quot;The Diary of Anne Frank&quot; (1959). I loved Anne&#39;s attitude in &quot;Anne no Nikki&quot; (1995) and the cuteness of Anne (played by Millie Perkins) in &quot;The Diary of Anne Frank&quot; (1959). Both directors, Akinori Nagaoka and George Stevens, represented Anne in their own unique ways, and I loved both of their interpretations.

The Diary of Anne Frank

As a young girl and still to this day, I always adored Anne Frank by her wonderful writing during the war. No wonder so many movies, TV shows such as this one and plays do make her story come alive to make us as the audience to reflect on the War effected so many Jews. This goes with other groups who have seemed to be a &quot;disadvantage&quot; towards society during that time. The animation, the storyline, the music and the characters were absolutely gorgeous on this when it is especially a 90s anime! Im stunned no one has seen this but thanks to YouTube in my case, I was able to enjoy it even if it was a sad situation for the Franks along with their roommates! Definitely recommend to check this out but remember to have a box of tissues beside ya, it is quite a emotional movie!
