Barefoot Gen 2 (1986)

while as others have mentioned, the animation budget is definitely a bit lower, the story is still very good and the found family narratives really got me, especially the old man who had developed "atomic fatigue" that the children "adopted". part two illustrates how the bomb wasn't just one moment but continued to cause lasting harm. It ends on a rather optimistic tone despite all that the characters have been through.
