Directed by Sunao Katabuchi and partially funded via a crowdfunding effort, In This Corner of the World tells the tale of Kure, Hiroshima, a major naval port, leading up to and during World War II, through the eyes of protagonist Suzu.
It had a limited theatrical release in the U.S. courtesy Funimation, who describe it like this:
The award-winning story of IN THIS CORNER OF THE WORLD follows a young lady named Suzu Urano, who in 1944 moves to the small town of Kure in Hiroshima to live with her husband’s family.

Her perseverance and courage underpin this heart-warming and inspirational tale of the everyday challenges faced by the Japanese in the midst of a violent, war-torn country. This beautiful yet poignant tale shows that even in the face of adversity and loss, people can come together and rebuild their lives.
