大ちゃん、だいすき。
Main character in this film, Mai, has a handicapped brother, who is totally deaf, called Dai-Chan. He is like a younger brother for Mai yet he is actually her older brother because Dai-Chan always asks Mai to hold him up with smiling all over. One day, an elementary school Mai goes to and a handicapped school Dai-Chan goes to start to communicate each other. And then, Mai's class mates started to make fun of Mai and draw a funny portrait of Dai-Chan on black board in the class. Mai gets shocked and hurt at that mischief. And moreover, their mother gets sickness at the same time. That's why Dai-Chan should enter in an orphanage for handicapped children; however, Mai really wants to take care of him by herself, so she tries to stop it. This story is written about a love of family, close bond, and relationship between human and human. We definitely have a common warm heart and a moment we have to use it with honest feeling. This film could remind us some important things we should never forget about our life. (Source: AniDB)

The story of this anime centers around a severely disabled boy, Dai-chan, who is physically impaired, can't speak, and has the intelligence of a toddler. While that isn't exactly what I'd call an interesting character, the movie does a good job of portraying how people react to and deal with Dai-chan and disabled people in general. Dai-chan has two younger sisters. One of them, Mai, acts as his older sister since she looks after him a lot. She goes through various struggles such as initially feeling embarrassed by her brother when he and other disabled children visit her school, or being burdened by him while she'sdoing her homework. I enjoyed seeing how she dealt with those hurdles and grew as a character. Taking care of a disabled child is never easy, especially when the father has a full-time job and the mother has to do household chores. The anime also does a great job at showcasing the struggles (but also the joys!) of raising a disabled child, which I won't go into more detail about due to potential spoilers. As you'd expect, there are also various people (both children and adults) who make fun of or stigmatize disabled people. In some cases, especially when it comes to some of Mai's classmates, that could have been done in a less stereotypical way, but on the other hand, those classmates also have their own problems and backstories, which makes their behavior a bit more understandable. Besides Dai-chan, the "disabled main character", there is also a disabled side character, a girl in a wheelchair who can speak (though only with a lot of effort) and write. She would have been a more interesting disabled main character imho since I generally prefer characters whose weaknesses and strengths are somewhat balanced. In the end, it's the characters around Dai-chan who carry the movie. The animation is decent for a movie from 2007. The characters were realistically drawn and there were some nice background shots. The music was uplifting and perfectly underlined the emotions the characters felt. If you like realistic settings and enjoy watching family-centered shows, then this movie may be worth a try.
