I highly recommend the book that the movie was based on as well.
"So Sad to Fall in Battle" by Kumiko Kakehashi. 
It puts quite a human face on what is usually a enemy portrayed as a fanatical weapon based on so much propaganda.
The movie does a good job as making the Japanese soldier human as well.
