It's been 20 years since "The Last Love Song on This Little Planet" aired. It's dated and yet not. Surely the Manga style art may throw some people off and the premise of a "Girl Weapon" is a bit silly, but if you can, I recommend giving this a watch. The Japanese are good at digging around in th...

An extraordinarily intense and emotionally devastating anime that excels in story depth, character development, and visual presentation, earning perfect scores for its realistic portrayal of extreme emotions and relationships during wartime. While the sound design feels underutilized compared to ...

Saikano delivers powerful character development and a compelling story that transforms from typical high school romance to devastating war drama, with impressive animation and an excellent guitar-based soundtrack. The series suffers from bland English dub dialogue, Chise's repetitive name-calling...

This anime delivers exceptional character development with genuinely human characters who realistically break down under extreme circumstances, paired with outstanding voice acting and beautiful animation. While the story suffers from fundamental unexplained elements about the war and Chise's tra...

An incredible anime, and one that has an intensity that completely took me by surprise the first time I watched it. However there needs to be a warning when you’re going to watch this anime, and that is: Don’t watch it if you’re sensitive to depressions. It’s one of the emotionally heaviest anime...

She the ultimate weapon as it is translated in English is a 13-episode anime series released back in 2002. The story is about two high schoolers Shuji and Chise that have just recently began to date one another. The two attempt to create a good relationship and fall in love but certain events tra...

Overall A high school girl gets transformed into some super weapon and gets an identity crisis. What will her boyfriend say? One of the animes I classify as "one of THOSE". A classic, containing both epicness, humor and heartthrob. Animation This is really nicely animated. Great character design,...

This is the worst anime I have ever watched, with absolutely no redeeming qualities to be found. The story is predictable, moves at an unbearably slow pace, and fails completely in its attempt to explore themes of war and loss. The art is awful with no elegant lines, the characters are unrealisti...

Saishuu Heiki Kanojo, abbreviated to SaiKano is a tragic tale of love in a world on the brink of collapse. An innocent and full of life young girl named Chise just wants to live a normal life and experience true love with her boyfriend Shuuji but unfortunately for them, happiness was never on the...

This emotionally devastating series made me cry twice - once in episode 9 and again in episode 13 - with its unique perspective on war told through civilians rather than soldiers. The story follows three high school students in a love triangle, where the shy Chise confesses to Shuji, only for him...

Shuji & Chise are two high school students who have just started dating. They make an odd couple. Shuji is tall and...

Saikano delivers powerful emotional punches through Chise's heartbreaking transformation and features a fantastic opening episode that perfectly establishes its tragic tone. However, the series is dragged down by excessive sexual content, a noticeable quality drop in the middle episodes, poor voi...

This anime is one of the few anime that made me cry. and its the one and only anime that made me cry 2 times in the series. Episode 9 and 13. A storyline that shows the realitys of war. not from the view point of the soldiers but from the view point of the people back at home. How war effects a n...

The most outstanding thing about this series was the plot. It moves at a nice pace, including all the twists that keep this love story interesting. The final couple episodes are extremely intense. This was a 2002 anime, and its obvious when it comes to the sound and art. The art is nice, nothing ...

The plot’s steady pace and clever twists keep the love story gripping right up to the extremely intense final episodes, with every episode serving the ending. Art and sound feel dated and merely serviceable, while the characters themselves lack distinction. Still, it’s an easy recommendation for ...

(Based on h264 version with Japanese dub) I thought Kimi ga Nozomu Eien was a very touching love story. Sure I shed a tear over it and a few other animés, but Saikano is probably the first one that made me cry silently during the first watch. Serial Experiments: Lain was actually worse, bu...

Saikano delivers a fantastic story that transforms from a conventional romance into a dark, gripping tale that becomes increasingly desperate and emotionally devastating. While the graphic style is striking despite some nose design issues, the series truly shines in its final 3-4 chapters that pi...

So... I suppose ill let out a "wohoo" due to this being my first review. I finaly decided to write one because I want to give out a WARNING to everyone planning to watch this. WARNING: This contains some spoilers. Story [7/10]: Even tho I disliked the anime, how it evolved and the overall story. ...

Saikano delivers an extremely touching love story with an ingenious ending that made me cry silently for the first time while watching anime. While the story and characters are wonderful, the series suffers from repetitive situations where Shuji and Chise act predictably, pacing issues that might...

The anime starts strong with a unique premise of a romantic relationship forming immediately between the leads and the intriguing concept of the female protagonist as a super weapon, but completely falls apart after episode 5 with failed character development, an infuriatingly weak male lead who ...
