Hiroshima Day - Horrific Short Animations for Japanese Schoolchildren


The first nuclear attack on the civilian city of Hiroshima happened today in 1945.

Here are two horrifying cartoons made for Japanese schoolchildren to explain about what happened during the attack. 

The information says: "An epic historic cartoon produced for school children about the day Hiroshima was bombed as seen from the Japanese perspective. English subtitles for those of you who do not speak Japanese and for those of you with short attention spans this is a very short film."

Let's work to make sure this sort of thing never happens again.

  2. Generations change while elder s try to give wisdom to their children. Will Prince Naruhito replace the Emperor Monday? Will Japan stay antiwar? Will the world learn from Japanese civilian nuclear suffering?

  3. People don't deserve such a cruelty, don't torture the innocent people and don't destroy their lives, it's fault of the leaders (the emperor who ordered people to fight) which left the civilians no choice but to fight wars...

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
