Now and Then, Here and There

Post by angelx03 » Fri Oct 24, 2003 1:04 pm

I've just finished watching the entire series, and wanted to say, WHOA! :shock:

From the guys who created Jubei-chan and El Hazard, this is a COMPLETE 180 degrees in terms of content. Pretty good representation of war, especially the "kiddie" animation AIC/Pioneer used which show utter irony.

So, any thoughts about this?

It's one of my top ten short series. Daichi was at AXNY last year and talked a bit about how depressing it was to make. And how he'd sit there crying as he wrote the story or drew for it. A powerful, well-told, well-animated story.

Here's the synopsis from http://www.animenewsnetwork.com:
Shu is a typical Japanese boy, but has an unbeatable, optimistic and determined attitude. However, when he sees a mysterious girl with strange eyes named Lala-Ru up on a smokestack, he is soon pulled into a strange desert world. Shu soon discovers the true terrors of war, which includes genocide, brutal torture, hunger, thirst, and child explotation. Now Shu is trying to save Lala-Ru, as well as his hard earned, and often relunctant, new friends from the insane dictator, Hamdo. Whether Shu can possibly accomplish saving those he cares about while still holding up to his values remains to be seen.
Highly recommended, unless you have a fragile heart.
