One of the best in the series- very emotional stuff

I've seen Tora say goodbye to family members so many times, but these last couple of entries, it's been extra emotional... I think because the end is coming for this 50-film series. I am probably going to be a crying wreck by the time I watch film #50, at the rate I'm going.

Also wonderful was that train scene with Mitsuo and Izumi. There's some extra beautiful about Japan passing by in a blur outside of a train window- I know Yi Yi had a similar sequence, for the part of that film set in Japan, and I think Lost in Translation, too?

Just hit most of the right notes for me, and I think this is one of my favourite entries so far. It built well upon the last film, serving as what felt like a direct sequel in some ways, and it didn't have any uncomfortable humour that that otherwise great entry contained in one brief but unfortunate scene.
