Now and Then,Here and There Opening

[zoidsmaniac]

This is easily one of the greatest anime to ever exist. The method of it's storytelling is done in such a great way. Treats itself maturely while still keeping a bit of an upbeat feel to it. Enjoyable and interesting cast with a villain you love to hate and a protagonist that's surprisingly really respectable. It's portrayal of the reality of war was so nicely done and the way it actually conveyed it's message was just incredible. It's got permanent spot on my top 10 and deserves to be on all.

[townshend4]

I honestly fee confident in saying this was the best anime ever from the 90's, and yes ive seen evangelion, cowboy bebop and rurouni kenshin trust and betrayal and their all amazing(eva was good not great, second half fucks up) but they dont reach the quality of this show to me

[Battousai101]

Everyone is like 'Ehh, it's so depressing. It's such a downer.' But it's the power of the STORY! People should look past that and appreciate the reality of this. No matter how much it blows. ;_;

And thats my rant of the day. [:

[prede89]

@bugempress same here. very few things can do this to me

[loopyprincessyo123]

this is the most depressing thing...ever.

[samu29]

Perhaps the most underrated anime out there.

[SuperEvilduck]

pure 90s anime glory

[jsh020]

@SuperEvilduck yah agreed and amazing animated for its time, i swear 1996-2000 was just that sweet spot, it avoided that random gore just be gorey that pretty much 80% of animes prior to 1995 did, and avoid fanservice and genericness that 2003-05 suffered.

2006 and 7 were good years too and 2011 has been mindblowing anime wise but i dont think it reaches this time period.....ok 2011 does but still

[leon5080]

One of my favourite animes. Melancholic, dramatic and interesting story, great characters and intense atmosphäre. I can also recommend haibane renmei, experiment lain, mushishi, kinos journey, princess sara, cowboy bebop, paranoia agent, samurai champloo, key the metal idol in series.

[FlowerEmblem]

@leon5080

Thanks for the list. I'm looking for similar shows to Kino's Journey, it was such a lovely anime to watch.

Some other people mentioned La Maison en Petits Cubes (a short film) and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien as being quite lovely as well. Haven't watched the latter, but the former was amazing :)

[Chijiru]

Shuzo Matsutani is one of the best characters I've ever watched. Dude like one of the guys you'd hang with at school.

[ZettaAngel]

Hands down one of my favorite old school animes. gotta love that opening xD.

[Katana991]

Just a quick question, I heard that one of the directors of the anime was inspired to do this when he heard about the genocide in Rwanda. Is this true?

[OtakuFreak08]

One of the best series EVER!!!

Such a profound message coupled with great action, superb music, FANTASTIC characters, and one of the best endings...

Now and Then, Here and There is #8 in my Top 10, and EVERYONE, even non-anime fans should see this show!!!!!

[prede89]

@Katana991 yeah that is true. The director is Akitaro Daichi....

[prede89]

glad someone finally uploaded the opening...the other verson is low quality

[paradoxed258]

a surprisingly cheerful opening to such a sad show...

[prede89]

@paradoxed258 I don't find it cheerful at all. I find it dark, tragic, grand and gloomy, yet powerful.

[JCKH2]

I love the opening song in this anime! Its so motivating with the beat!!

[jeuron]

This is one of my top ten anime of all time. Excellent show about the reality of war and what it does to children.

[Camtachi]

Peacful, but kinda sad
