I heard about this in an anime magazine, and i saw it in the store today. I guess the action/romance theme caught my interest.
I like action anime but I'm not to sure about this one, it looked like it could be pretty sad. I was thinking about getting it, but I don't want to buy it if it's just going to depress me.
I was wondering if anyone else has seen this or heard of it and had any info.

I've seen the first DVD (episodes 1-4 I think) and it does seem a little sad, but not depressingly sad. I thought it was good enough to warrant me checking out the second DVD, which I haven't gotten yet.

yeah I figured it would have to be at least semi-sad I just wanted to know how much, or if it was even worth buying. Thanks for the info

I've seen the first DVD and will probably watch the second DVD tonight. I think this one has the potential to be depressing in the long run. Probably not as depressing as Grave of the Fireflies, but a downer nonetheless. Still, it is an interesting twist on the boy-meets-girl love story theme...

In addition to it being depressing, I think there's also gonna be some themes of child abuse. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure the boy friend was abused. Furthermore, there's a part in the trailer where we see the girl (don't know what her name is
) with her button up shirt open so that we can see her bust (there was a purpose for it, but it was her bust none the less).

yeah I didn't know about that....
the story well truthfully I haven't heard much, but from what I got it starts off with two highschoolers who are finally going out, but then the guy finds out that his girlfriend has been made into some sort of great weapon. well I'm not to sure if thats correct but someting along those lines. it was the picture that caught my attention. I really didn't have much time to read in either the magazine or the back of the anime. I was in Suncoast

I liked the storyline idea, but I haven't had the chance to look at it. I will if I come across it, though. (I rather like depressing stuff at times...)

If it's as depressing as Now and Then, Here and There, then I'm definitely watching it.
