In addition to it being depressing, I think there's also gonna be some themes of child abuse. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure the boy friend was abused. Furthermore, there's a part in the trailer where we see the girl (don't know what her name is
) with her button up shirt open so that we can see her bust (there was a purpose for it, but it was her bust none the less).
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality,

I like action anime but I'm not to sure about this one, it looked like it could be pretty sad. I was thinking about getting it, but I don't want to buy it if it's just going to depress me. 
I was wondering if anyone else has seen this or heard of it and had any info.
