Towards the end of WWII, the Navy gave the Kyoto University's physics lab the secret of a bomb that makes use of nuclear fission energy. While doing research to save Japan, the researchers there wonder if they should promote the development of weapons as scientists. Research enthusiast Ishimura Osamu tries to experiment purely but is at the mercy of the time period. His brother, Hiroyuki, also has to face the truth of the war. Asakura Setsu wants only to talk about the future. A story based on historical facts about youth during the tragedy of war. Edit Translation

Standard Format, New visuals.

So as far as originality this doesn't stray too far from the path that had been laid out by countless movies and Drama Specials before it. Survivors guilt and the Soldier that can't deal with being home. What it does change is the Soldier is not the focus, but more of a side character. The focus is the science race for the atom bomb.

What does stand out is the visuals at the end, it has less sanitized scenes of after the bomb fell. You can almost smell the air and feel the despair, but also humans just moving on, dealing with things no matter how horrific.
