Now and Then, Here and There	comment	Now and Then, Here and There (a.k.a Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku or "The Me That's There Now"), originally broadcasted between October 1999 and January 2000, is a grim piece by Akitaroh Daichi and Hideyuki Kurata.NTHT (as the title is often shortened) takes the old plot of being transported to another world and turns it on its head. Shu, our hero, is on his way home from kendo practice one day when he sees a strange girl sitting atop a smokestack. Curious, he goes up to meet her. The girl's name is Lala Ru and as Shu is introducing himself and talking to her, two strange machines warp in and attack them. Shu attempts to defend the girl, but he is easily brushed aside, and Lala Ru is taken. Shu renews his attack as Lala Ru calls for help, but everyone ends up getting transported back to where the machines came from.The normal conventions of this genre decree that the alternate world be a cool, mildly dangerous place where the transportee soon hooks up with some cool friends and a protector/mentor who explains the new world and guides our hero on his great quest to rescue the damsel...Yeah, not this time. Shu is transported to a dying desert planet orbiting a bloated sun in the process of becoming a red giant. Only the worst of humanity has survived this crucible, and Shu has been dumped alone into the heart of this hell. Shu tries to behave as the hero would, ever optimistic that good will always triumph and that if he tries hard enough he will win and restore goodness to the world. Only, things don't work that way in Hellywood, the battle fortress ruled by an insane king served by a super-efficient minion who inflicts his every demented whim on a helpless population.Daichi pulls no punches in the thirteen episodes of this TV series and gives us no let-up. In this world, children are the targets of atrocities committed by other children. Neighboring villages are raided for vital supplies and young boys to be conscripted into the insane king Hamdo's army. Women and young girls are captured to be passed around to and raped by Hellywood soldiers as a reward for good performance in the hope that they will become pregnant and provide future soldiers and breeders. This latter fate befalls a young American girl named Sara, who is mistakenly grabbed because of her resemblance to Lala Ru. Indeed, a couple episodes in the middle of the series focus entirely on her story, not Shu's.Daichi was influenced to create this story based on the reports coming out of Rwanda during the Genocide, and boy does it show. The anime is considered by many fans to be a masterpiece, but be warned: it is intense enough that you will probably only be able to watch it once. This one belongs on the shelf right beside Grave of the Fireflies.Definitely not to be confused with the 1995 Coming of Age Story Now and Then.

It makes for a good Jump Scare and is quite hard to shake off, but it doesn't affect the plot much and is never spoken of again. It might even have counted as a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment if not for some of threatening animals already seen skulking around, as well as the general Crapsack World atmosphere.

But the real badassery comes when she realizes that Boo got in the way of her shot, reloads the rifle in one swift motion and aims again. Nabuca gets in a counter-shot first, thanks to Boo taking the bullet for him. Otherwise, he would have been long dead.

While he seems cold and impersonal, he is shown holding hands with frightened children (episodes six and seven) and also shares his water (a scarce commodity) with a boy who refuses to do his share of the work. He is even shown covering up for kids in his corps who misbehave, making him something of A Father to His Men as well.

He does it again in episode seven. It's a neat juxtaposition in that both times this occurs, there's a definitive clash between Shu's philosophy and Nabuca's, but the second time around, it's Nabuca who saves Shu.

Kendo is taught to Japanese youth primarily as a means of instilling respect, integrity and honor, ideals that Shu attempts to spread all around him, yet he fails miserably given the circumstances of the new world. The significance of this is that regardless of how much abuse the stick takes or how many times it changes hands, it never seems subject to any degradation whatsoever, parallel to Shu's wide-eyed idealism throughout the series – until he finally snaps and uses it to trigger what he knows will turn into a violent jailbreak and smashes it to splinters over the back of a cowering Hamdo. Notably, Shu does not kill Hamdo and some pieces of the kendo stick are not completely shattered. This could mean while Shu;s worldview is now shattered, it is not completely gone and can be repaired.

It's heavily implied that Hamdo used to be sane, and that the only reason Abelia stays with him is because she remembers what he used to be like. That combined with the wistful look in her eyes when he dies, especially when she was perfectly capable of saving him, made it look like she was saying goodbye to someone she cared deeply about. Someone she finally admitted had already been gone for years. There's also her rage towards Lala Ru, who Hamdo talks to like his lover half of the time. As for Hamdo's feelings, the way he touches Abelia (caressing her face, hugging her from behind) is not quite sexual but definitely more than friendly.

Now and Then, Here and There / int_e0113647	comment	Decon-Recon Switch: Of the Trapped in Another World scenario. In most of these stories, a hero is taken to another world (normally Medieval European Fantasy, but it just has to be somewhere fantastical), and turns out to be the Chosen One to solve the problems there. Shu's status as a pinball protagonist reveals how much he can actually do to save the world... which isn't a whole lot. The series follows him on his journey as he tries to solve things, but most of it involves him getting kicked around and subdued; establishing that things are generally out of his control. However, by the end of the story he does manage to restore Lala Ru's faith in humanity, which results in her Heroic Sacrifice to save the remaining survivors of Sis' village. He also frees other prisoners before hunting Hamdo down to rescue Lala Ru in the final episode. Shu can't directly influence events very often, but his Incorruptible Pure Pureness changes many characters significantly, thus sparing more than a few lives (if not quite the entire world).
