i was going to write today about a comic book, but last night i watched "now and then, here and there" (ima soko ni iru boku) and i just had to review it. my bro sent me two dvds full of good stuff (lain included!) so for the next week my blog will probably resemble szilard's, meaning that i'll be having a lot of anime reviews.
i started watching "now and then" with rather great expectations. what shocked me in particular, after only 10 seconds of viewing it, was the animation, as it seemed quite childish. i was told by viki that this anime is about war and pain, and i just doubted that these could by conveyed through such childish animation (i was expecting something like gits). it took only till the second episode (till the scene when sara and shu were suffering in captivity) to realize how very wrong i was. in a nutshell this anime is about the horrors of war and about the evil that men do, and about this very passionate boy, shu (trust me on this, he has ten dots in willpower and must have taken the merit 'unbreakable resolve' at least three times - not that it would stack). while it is no eva or lain, this one is well worth watching! i both liked and hated the ending - i will refrain from commenting it as i don't want to spoil anything for those of you who might want to watch it (szilard, you must see this one).
have to go and work now, can't wait to get home and watch kakurenbo.

Note taken. Yet as far as I understood this is similar to the Grave of Fireflies.
i haven't seen grave of the fireflies yet, but yes, i believe it is similar.
I haven't seen it yet either. To be more precise I couldn't gather the strength to watch it beyond the first 5 minutes.
