Marco has a direction very similar to akage no anne (that's because he's from the same director) his brightness is the camera direction, which always finds different points of view of the events, sometimes aiming upwards, sometimes aiming downwards, and so on. against. ..
The production of the anime is very steeped in the standard style of nippon animation, it is composed of several realistic scenarios, as for the OST I can't say anything because I saw the anime dubbed in Spanish and I fear that it may have been out of step with the original.
Marco Rossi is awesome for being a "tireless fighter"; he's always working hard to get the warmth of his dear mommy again, to the point where he starts to work washing bottles-that's when he's 9 or 10 years old-and also, as the name of the anime "3000…

The team of Director Takahata and Layout by Miyazaki are back for round two. After their international success with "Heidi", they tried for another anime adaptation of a novel. This time they cover the story of a young boy named Marco Rossi living a very poor lifestyle in Genoa, Italy during the 1800's. During this era, Italy was going through extreme poverty and immigrants were primarily moving to Brazil and Argentina to find more work, much like the rest of the world. Go to the new world and start a better life.
In the case of the Rossi family, the father runs a free-clinic for the poor, and due to financial issues leads Marco's mom to go to Argentina to raise more money for the family in order to help pay off some family debt.
Marco is devastated about missing his mama, and works his…

I often reminisce over those beautiful and irreplaceable moments from my childhood when I was in a loving embrace with my mother, and now that I am 22 years old I feel I need to grow up a little as this appreciation for a loving embrace hasn't budged a single inch. This concept of a child's love, is the foundation for everything that this anime is and about and oh boy does it do it well.
As I mentioned in the introduction. This show is about the importance of being able to be close to those that are important to you, and I don't imagine many things would be more important to a child then family. The story being told is very simple, but it is the many other aspects of the series that make it quite emotionally complex.
Before I go on, I must commend the first episode of this series for bei…

Fist of aul sory for my english not are so good (just kidding). But seriously, my english isnt so god, but since nobody got to review this masterpiece, I decided to try.
The story is about an Italian boy who gets separated from his mother who went to Argentina to find work as an imigrant. However in one of the letters of his mother, Marco find out that she was sick. Then begins his painful journey From the Appenines to the Andes.
The story is just so sad, Marco gets screwed for people that he dont even know all the time, but he never get nothing in return. The moments that he get lucky are so rare that chance that it would made you cry is very high.
Probably 70% of the people who got here are from Israel, since this anime got an huge popularity in the 90´s there, by th name of HaLev
