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. | |

Applied Phlebotinum: Hellywood's airship is fuelled by water, due to the briefly-shown "Converters" which allow the water to be used as fuel, which possibly explains why there is no more water on the planet. | |

Diabolus ex Nihilo | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_13a499b8 | comment |
Diabolus ex Nihilo: The giant sand monster in Episode 8. 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. | |

Now and Then, Here and There / int_166e33f3 | comment |
Little Miss Badass: Soon, who upon hearing that Nabuca murdered the assassins from Zari Bars sent to kill Hamdo, one of which was her father, readies the rifle she was taking to Shu, coldly aims it at Nabuca's back and fires. 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. | |

Now and Then, Here and There / int_16995d90 | comment |
Right-Hand Cat: Subverted. King Hamdo kills his cat in a fit of rage during the second episode, and when Shu sees it, it takes a while for him to realize it's dead. Arguably also a Squick moment. | |

The Stoic | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_1c5002bc | comment |
The Stoic: Nabuca, until the end. Also Lala Ru, and Abelia. Interestingly, Nabuca fits the Sugar-and-Ice Personality trope as well. 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. | |

Take My Hand! | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_1fe36347 | comment |
Take My Hand!: Shu saves Nabuca from falling off to his certain death despite the fact that the two were fighting just a few moments previously, thus establishing Shu as a definite Wide-Eyed Idealist. 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. | |

As he is about to drown from Lala Ru flooding Hellywood, his last words consist of begging Abelia to use the time travel machine to send him to another world, crying out, "Anywhere but here! I don't want to die here!" like a frightened child. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Shu manages to survive the destruction of Hellywood and is returned to his time period through Abelia's 'bound' technology. A pregnant Sara remains with Abelia and the survivors of Sis' village, planning to keep her child. And Lala Ru, having regained her hope in humanity through Shu's example, has returned water to the world. However, Boo, Sis, and Nabuca are dead, Lala Ru fades away, and since the story takes place ten billion years into the future, the world is going to end anyway (assuming humanity hasn't already colonized other planets) due to the already-bloated sun about to go supernova. | |

Mysterious Waif: Lala Ru.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Tabool. Many write him off as a plain old Jerkass, yet he spends an awful lot of time trying to pal around with the same people he antagonizes. Closer inspection during and after Zari Bars' first attack also reveals scenes where he is both terrified and depressed by the battle, which does not seem to fit the heartless/militaristic attitude he otherwise displays. | |

The Atoner | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_4ef92d0b | comment |
The Atoner: Abelia is strongly implied to become this, after Sara shows her mercy. The spy soldier who brought Hellywood to Zaribars pulls a Heroic Sacrifice to save one of the kids Sara's escorting. | |

What Measure Is a Mook? | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_52b36340 | comment |
What Measure Is a Mook?: Averted. Hamdo's sacrifice of his troops is presented as senseless tragedy. His army is made up of people forced into it at gunpoint and with the empty promise that if they're obedient, once the war is over they can go home. Some are children. | |

Now and Then, Here and There / int_57cd63e6 | comment |
Art-Style Dissonance: It's not exactly cutesy, but it's unusually stylized for such serious subject matter. (Some have compared the art style with World Masterpiece Theater.) This arguably works in its favor, softening the blow of the most traumatic scenes. | |

We Have Reserves: Hellywood has a Wave-Motion Gun capable of felling entire Land Battleships and the surrounding environment... which Hamdo has no compunction using despite his troops being engaged with said enemy. Interestingly though, they don't quite have enough reserves, as this shot in the foot leaves Hellywood highly understaffed. | |

Death Glare: You wouldn't guess her capable of it, but Lala Ru managed one when Hamdo had Abelia shoot Shu. For half the series, he bribed, cajoled, pleaded, and threatened her without so much as getting her to look at him. After the shooting? "Why are you looking at me like that?... Stop looking at me like that!" | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: Shu's kendo stick, arguably. 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. | |

Bodyguard Crush | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_96f6335d | comment |
Bodyguard Crush: The straight trope and the inversion are both played with between Abelia and Hamdo. 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. | |

She may well be tens of thousands of years old. Assuming the opening text is dialogue from her, she considers ten billion years to be brief. | |

Wouldn't Hurt a Child | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_a2b998a0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hurt a Child: The reason Hamdo employs a child army, other than children being extremely easy to corrupt, is because he's banking on his opponents' hesitance to harm them. It's shown to work at least once during the series. | |

Decon-Recon Switch | |
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). | |

Being Evil Sucks | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_f1919d5b | comment |
Being Evil Sucks: The show goes to great lengths to show the circumstances that drive people to do terrible things, and it doesn't do wonders for their psyches either. | |

Non-Indicative First Episode | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_f2e0b65f | comment |
Non-Indicative First Episode: The first episode seems like a light-hearted, silly, generic Shōnen series; the rest of the series is much darker and a lot more brutal. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Abelia tortured people for Hamdo, followed his most his most brutal orders without question, and only refused to save him in the end, yet somehow that was all enough for Sarah to forgive her. | |

Nondescript, Nasty, Nutritious | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_f5129c45 | comment |
Nondescript, Nasty, Nutritious: The food that the Hellywood soldiers eat. When Shu tries it, he is immediately disgusted by the taste, but eats it anyway as there is nothing else. | |

Larynx Dissonance | |
Now and Then, Here and There / int_ffae1b5e | comment |
Larynx Dissonance: In the English dub, none of the child characters (except Boo) sound like children. This removes at least 50% of the story's impact. Shu suffers from this in the French dub as well. | |
