Rating: - LET ME OUTTA THIS WORLD!
Volume 2 of Now and Then gets off to a harrowing start as Sara, a young American kidnapped by Hamdo's forces and repeatedly raped by one of his soldiers, takes revenge and then flees into the desert! Because the king obliterated many of his own forces in a recent battle, he sends out his remaining troops to forcefully draft men from the surrounding villages. Add to that women to impregnate! Shu revolts against this and is thrown back into the dungeon, where his fate may be sealed, unless one of his ... Read More
Rating: - Second Disc = WOW
I didn't think the second disc could top the first disc. I was wrong! It Blew Me Away. This series is really starting to grow on me even though I generally dislike depressing stories. Now and Then.., is one of the few anime series that made me vocally shout and cheer the characters on, as each of them fight to survive in a world of terrible atrocities. Nobody is free from a terrible fate when targeted by King Hamdo's army. Not men, women, or children. There's quite a lot of plot development in this ... Read More
Rating: - A definate must see
Now and Then, Here and There is definately an all time great.The movie starts a bit humorous, like any typical anime; however, it quickly moves the audience to a dark and depressing world.By being torn from his own world, the main character Shu, is thrust into an alternate plane where oppression and war are law.This story encapsulates overcoming the hate of evil, indifference, and fear.
The overall tone of this anime is a bit depressing.The strong brutality and involvement of children ... Read More
Rating: - In the Tradition of "The Time Machine"
..And I don't mean the new film by that name.It is much more reminicent of the 1960's movie version of the great H.G. Wells time travel story, but animated in very fine style.This 'Now & Then' is the second feature in the series and every bit as entertaining as the first.While the first installment focused in on the characters Shu (from the present) & La La Rue (from the future), 'Flight & Fall' introduces us to Sara, who has been taken as a slave by a first-rate anime villan.She escapes ...

Rating:  - Among the most serious anime out there
The tone of this series is the total opposite of Jubei Chan and Elf Princess Rane, by the same director.This second volume continues the solid linear storytelling with an old school feel.To show just how serious this series is, the very first scene in episode 6 portrays attempted rape.Episodes typically show scenes of intense brutality.All in all, a beautiful tale of how enslaved children maintain their optimism and morality.
