I’m definitely not taking the stance of “every child needs to see this film”, but I AM of the opinion that kids should occasionally be presented with something that might make them uncomfortable or try to instill empathy as a good thing that they should strive for. Yeah, it might be difficult for them, but that’s why they should have a parent/support system readily available so they can process and learn from it, instead of watching it at 2am alone in a dorm room and crying until 5am like I definitely didn’t do ahaha ha ha…
I think some folks are just opposed to thinking it’s good for all kids when obviously the material takes some amount of maturity and empathy.

Yeah, that seems to be a good point. Maybe kids around the age of Seita would understand it better.
