MAPPA has built a reputation for ambitious anime like Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Vinland Saga, but one of its most heartfelt works often goes overlooked. In This Corner of the World, the studio's 2016 film set in WWII-era Hiroshima, tells a quiet story of everyday life and survival amid the devastation of war.
Far from the spectacle and brutality of MAPPA's action-heavy hits, it offers a deeply human perspective on a tragic chapter in history. Now streaming on Prime Video, the film is waiting for a new audience to discover it.
