>shouldn't the chart be called a map instead?
Hm... although "sea-chart" is pretty commonly used, I suppose that "chart" by itself to mean "map" is not.
On the other hand, maybe it IS among sailors? A quick Google search suggests that maybe that's the case.
I suppose I was loathe to change Mr. Icon's translation as he seemed to know what he was doing.
It would probably be the safest thing to do, but I'm still a bit unsure.

Indeed. Although I find what happens more disturbing than the way it is visually portrayed, which is why I guess I didn't mark this (I normally really dislike "gore").
By the way, at some point, this site will have a better way of displaying what age category a film is aimed at than a simple "NSFW" genre. So for a film like this, I guess it should clearly be marked as aimed at adults and contraindicated for children (with a "neutral" for teens). There will inevitably be some debatable value judgements involved in that, but on the whole, probably preferable to having no info about that at all.

I like how this film takes its simplicity to its favour to send a clear message about religion. With just black and white paper origamis, they tell a story about religion and how it happens in real life: discrimination, cults, etc.

This was a very innocent and creative short film that truly embodies the childish cheerful imaginative mind and play. I find it very charming

In english subtitles- shouldn't the chart be called a map instead? It's called that in the english name of the movie too.

The series never before got translated past the 3rd episode. And truly, this 4th episode is a lot less interesting than the previous one (maybe partly because of the political theme? Not very overt, but considering the time period, it seems clear enough to me).
I don't think it's actually bad, but it's not very special either. However, the next episode after this one is again excellent...

What an imaginative film that really captures the way children play...
When it was first subtitled in English & uploaded to Youtube by houzdog03, "Strawberry Rain" was viewed over 230,000 times and many people left very positive comments. Thankfully, despite the video now being deleted, you can still read those comments here thanks to the Internet Archive.

>When was this series on? Was it during the 80s? We never enjoyed so educative and touching cartoons in the west! It's nice of you to have added the subtitles because my Russian are so rusty! I'm putting your channel on my bulletin for my friends!

>This is a very cute cartoon. I love the message.
>I didn't know Russian Animation was this good untill recently. I haven't seen too many Russian cartoons, but they're very good.

>It's nice to see what Soviet Russia was not as cold and heartless as they would lead you to believe.

>Most Soviet cartoons are so humane, innocent, and full of morals. The more and more I watch American cartoons (past and present) I see the huge difference. It seems to me that the creators of American cartoons want to make it entertaining to the children's parents as well (for business purposes), putting in cartoons adult themes, like dealing with adult relationships, and as a result the innocence and childhood wonder is lost in the American cartoons.
