I just finished Now and Then, Here and There. I knew absolutely nothing about this 13 episode anime beforehand but I am very glad I added it to my queue. It is dark and, at some points, downright depressing in tone for the first 6 episodes, yet it definitely pays off in the end. It takes place in a futuristic dystopia - a fairly common setting to be sure - but the story is unique and distances itself from other movies in the genre. I am particularly satisfied that Now and Then, Here and There offers such a strong commentary on the issues of war and abortion.
This anime is a real gem and I would recommend it to anyone who has the stomach to watch a fairly dark show that touches on some very weighty issues. It is available on Netflix Instant Watch.

Having watched the first two episodes, I have to say I'm liking it so far. From the first episode, I thought Shu, the main character, was pretty interesting and kind of weird and awkward.
