Pikadon (ピカドン Hepburn: Pikadon, "atomic bomb") is a 1979 Japanese short animated documentary war film animated, produced and directed by Renzo Kinoshita.

Plot
An animation documentary describing the tragic consequences of the A-bomb explosion in Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945. The flash of the A-bomb, 100 times brighter than the sun, is called "PICA", and the enormous shock wave which came right after the flash is called "DON". At the time this film was completed, it was the very first attempt in the world to deal with such a sensitive subject of Hiroshima using animation media. Because of this short film, the City of Hiroshima decided to establish the Hiroshima International Animation Festival in 1984, appreciating animation art as an effective medium.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It pays tribute to the Japanese victims who had died in a nuclear blast by Little Boy nuclear bomb.
 * 2) The animation is pretty decent, even in Japanese standards in the 1970's.
 * 3) The soundtrack that was performed by Reijiro Koroku, and Production Nova were pretty good, there is a pretty creepy soundtrack after the nuclear blast with a huge sound of creepy, and disturbance during the aftermath of a nuclear attack around Hiroshima.
 * 4) Great cinematography.
 * 5) It has a very disturbing moment, right after a nuclear blast, you can see a bunch of people who are suffered by red skin.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The film, and animation didn't age well in today's standards.
