Does anybody know anything about this series? I'm very curious about it, it looks so interesting.

Saikano is about a boyfriend and girlfriend but wait what if the girlfriend suddenly gets turned into the ultimate weapon by the military! this anime depicts Japan in a state of war so it's not a happy go anime, expect to see lots of tragedy and sadness. The story unfolds as we see the characters go through the tough time and how the love of the couple survives the horrible fact the one of them have become a bringer of death. This makes End of Evangelion look like a picnic! it's not exactly one of my fav animes though. Hope this helps!

Is this the one where the girl has that robot hand??????!!!!! and wings.....

watched it a yr ago...... pretty confusing story.....

Yeah, I've heard it's very sad, and there've been mixed reviews... maybe I'll just read the mangas. :sweat:

Saikano is depressing but still good

i found it rather frustrating at times when Chise and Suji couldnt get their relationship sorted out.
The most memorable scene for me was when Akeme died, there is so much emotion in that scene.

*pretends she didn't read any spoilers* :sweat:

The story is also rather sickening; how the military robbed the humanity and life of a young innocent gal to win a stupid war.

yes the story can be quite sickening at times, it just more emphasises how ugly war is and its pointlessness.

oopps im very sorry Melichan, i didnt mean to give any spoilers, sometimes i just get carried away. My bad :sorry:

Don't worry about it, K1, I know that's a risk in any forum. :) Besides, by the time I actually *see* Saikano, I'll probably have forgotten any spoilers. :sweat:

lol good point! just wait a bit longer, besides you'll hav lots of anime to keep you busy for the time being! :)

It seems like quite a heavy story... I'm quite curious really. :nod:

it kind of gave me a sick (as in disturbed, not puking) feeling to me when i was watching it, all the stuff about war, turning an innocent girl into a freaky weapon, there's death and a lot of showing of blood and stuff.

It's kind of hard to write a lighthearted tale set during a war. Saikano is a really interesting story, and I've been enjoying it, however, I would not put a discussion of it under the romance section... it definitely falls into the "Sad series" category.
