I watched this over ten years ago and I'm still mad.
The first three quarters are great and after that it shits the bed hard.
I'm specifically referring to when her son goes fully autistic and fucks off into the forest. Like an hour and a half at that point of watching his mother go through hell for her children's sake just so he can turn around and be like muh instinct muh wolf nature.
Don't play with my emotional balls for so long if you're gonna yank them painfully at the end. The worst part is the son isn't even viewed in a negative light for doing that shit. It's just back to the whole "it's his nature" garbage.
I don't care if it's a part of the story's themes I'm not gonna write a fucking essay afterwards I just want to enjoy my Zimbabwean cartoons.
