I bring to Your attention anime named "Saikano" a.k.a. "She, the Ultimate Weapon". Its only 13 episodes (times 20 or so minutes), but i believe You SHOULD see them.

 

 

... now i wont be able to play the war games and watch war movies the same... hell, i dont even want to touch my fav. Star Wars novels... The anime has such impact.

Are you Kywalker?

yea he is

here's a summery:

 

Shy Chise and nervous Shuji are high school seniors in a small town. They have just started dating. But everything changes when Shuji discovers that Chise has been engineered by the Japanese Self Defense Force into the Ultimate Weapon!

 

What do you do when the girl you love becomes a weapon of mass destruction?

Sounds simplistic, eh? Thought soo too at first...

 

...now i cant even get any sleep. I am so afraid... Heres exerpt from the 'review' I wrote:

 

I got this anime yesterday and watched nearly in one stream. And i am kind of sorry i have ever watched it. Dont get me wrong, its a great anime with great music and graphics (even the CG wave in the last episode looks real enough) with realistic character interactions. BUT.... after every episode i had to tale short walks and breathe LOOOONG soothing breaths. Main reason for that was the fact that i needed to stop being afraid. Afraid of what comes next and afraid of what the anime really shows. I was constantly on verge of crying my eyes out and in some cases - i have. My heart was racing with despair and madness. This is just a fraction of feelings that i can relate through keyboard.

 

If you are looking for fun or cool war scenes, you should avoid it at any cost. It is THE MOST DEPRESSING anime (hell ANYTHING really) i have ever seen. There is no heroics here. Just the truth. The truth that we, who live in these times, are constantly afraid of and one that we hide in the deeps of our imagination so we dont cower in shadows. Looking for love story with happy end? Love is, but there is no happy end. No reason that there should be one here. War (one of the main motifs here) is not about happiness. And the whole series show that like a blow-and-roundhouse-kick to the face.

 

(...)

 

And what i think is the best thing in this anime: all the time i thought that in the end there will be the theme of 'love saves the day', like it happens in all other movies. I would trully hate it, but it would at least give me hope. Hope that mankind can save itself. It didnt. Anime finishes with the impact of lost hope (and other things).

 

I dont believe i will ever go out with the same sense of security i have had. The anime uterly destroyed that cocoon in which i wrapped myself. I also will never watch any war movie or play war game the same i have had just yesterday (there was "Where Eagles Dare"). (...) Also watching this anime will be (i hope) a one-time experience. I dont think i will ever have a nerve of putting myself in the dark center of mankind stupidity again. I think i will go insane then. I wont be able to sleep comfortable tonight - thats for sure.

Thats just it. There was only truth. No heroic. No happy endings. Just the truth.

Sounds simplistic, eh?

I suppose it isn't is it?I'm *obtaining* it now

*sigh* You sarcasm is... understandable... I just wanted to bring the Anime to Your attention. Its Your decision. I just wish you'd see it and then 'sarcasm'.

anything that can evoke those kinds of emotions out of someone must be really goodthe only movie I've ever been tearful over is The Green Mile when the guy was walking to be executed. And even then it was more just watery eyes.

 

When I get to watch this, I'll post my opinions

Well, it can be just me, but i talked to others and i know that many others share my opinion. They became... disturbed. More (like myself) or less.

It even came to the moment, when some time after finishing the anime and losing much of the post-shakeup (few hours), i wanted to play DoD (i loved that game and enjoyed playing it). But then i stopped, thought for a second and... didnt.

um...where exactly do i view this? is it on TV or something? :? :|

Be resourceful. Surely You have friends who like anime and have this... among other good anime...

um...i just got out of school and i know some people that are into anime but i dont know them well enough to know where they live and...well...it would be very awkward of me to just call and ask about some anime, when they dont even know me....and besides....one kinda hates me for some reason i dont know...but i think she likes me a little more now than at the beginning of the year. theres one i know that is friends with her but i wont be able to remember to ask this stuff when school starts again... :| im in a resourcful jam if you know what i mean.

the internet offers what your friends cannot, use it

the internet is my only friend...

Oh yes. I dont recomend watching dubbed. Lots of stuff can be missed (mostly concerning emotional acting aspects). Sub all the way.

 

PS *sigh*...2:45 am and still cant get sleep. Ill get it by fatigue i hope.

i checked the google link Caste gave us and i have no idea what to do.... :| besides its much easier if you just give me a link

google is what we refer to as a 'search engine'you type in what you are looking for, and google with scoure the internet, and bring back everything it found that is related to what you typed in.

 

It's very useful.

sounds good, i will talk to my friend who is a fan of anime. I definitely want to check it out, though i am extremely suceptable to depressing subject matter. I might join you for some crying if it is as you say it is.

i know how to use google.. -__-....i just dont know WHAT to google for...(like the name)

And they say that we (eastern Europeans) are far from the bright center of internet technology for crying out loud. I cant give You more hints (*looks at StateCop*).

 

Seriously. Ask in school.
