I happened to stumble across this little gem of a series the other week and think so highly of it I thought i'd share it with you guys. It's short, it's dark and it reflects the true brutality of the human race and yet manages to show the beauty and innocence along with it. So if you fancy watching something that will genuinely move you, then this ones definately worth a shot.

Hmm, that's odd. I thought I put this one on the anime/manga suggestion thread. You're right though, it is a gem - quite easily ranks in my top 10 all-time favorite anime. Might be a good time to re-watch it.
Ah hah, I did get it posted to said thread. Someone just failed miserably at putting it (and several others) on the list on the first page, first post

Hey, don't blame me.

Can't say I've ever come across this show before but considering the three of you speak very highly of it I think I'll give this a watch once I've finished Baccano. - Of which I've been slacking on due to New Vegas addiction hehe, fantastic show though.

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

This was a really great find
I loved it. Not really a show to be "enjoyed" as such, certainly not like most other shows. Infact I didn't want to plough my way through this like I usually can with a 13 ep series as the feelings & emotion you get from Now and Then, Here and There is where the beauty of it lies. It's not pretty or fun but very dark & serious. Kinda reminded me of Grave of the Fireflies somewhat too, though people are more likely to have seen that than NTHT. Great find though as I say as I hadn't come across this myself. Little gem indeed.
