| This seems really interesting. The story sounds good and the concept is unique. It looks like Minetaro Hirai is a new director so I'm looking forward to seeing how that goes over. |

*sigh*
Okay, while blue eyes can crop up in rare instances, in general blue eyes are recessive trait and don't dominate over brown ones; yet every last half-white, half-Japanese character seems to have blue eyes! Well, at least she's not blond, which would be flatly genetically impossible, yet shows up all the time in anime. |

Er, I think you might be taking this a little bit too seriously. |

| Genetic improbability be damned, the idea of a story set during WWII about the experiences of a half-Westerner in rural Japan is an interesting premise. |

| Ehm, you've got one too many "no"s in that title. "Aoi no hitomi" makes no sense. It's "Aoi Hitomi no Onna no Ko no Ohanashi". |

For this movie, perhaps, which looks like a nice idea for a children's movie - but the rather racist stereotype of Westerners as all blond-haired and blue-eyed (and big boobed, for women) is one of my biggest pet peeves that shows up again and again in anime. |
