Was recommended this anime by a friend. Its pretty raw. Its not overtly violent or anything, but its the message it sends across.
From Wiki
| Quote: |
While on top of a smoke stack in an industrial park, the main protagonist Shūzo "Shu" Matsutani is transported to another world after attempting to defend an unknown girl. In this new world, Shu is forced to join an army of children, and pillage in search of water. He wishes to return home, and also find the mysterious girl whom he tried to protect.
Much of the series deals with serious moral questions of war, cost of war, and exploitation of children. |
I would say this one is 17 and up, and definatly worth the watch.
Episode 1 A Girl Admiring the Sunset
Episode 2 A Boy and a Mad King
Episode 3 A Feast in the Dark

Episode 7 Night of Flight
Episode 8 Two Lone Souls
Episode 9 In the Chasm
Episode 10 Prelude to Chaos

Themes: Another world, Military, War
Age rating: Teenagers (May contain bloody violence, bad language, nudity)
Plot Summary: Shu is a typical Japanese boy, but has an unbeatable, optimistic and determined attitude. However, when he sees a mysterious girl with strange eyes named Lala-Ru up on a smokestack, he is soon pulled into a strange desert world. Shu soon discovers the true terrors of war, which includes genocide, brutal torture, hunger, thirst, and child explotation. Now Shu is trying to save Lala-Ru, as well as his hard earned, and often relunctant, new friends from the insane dictator, Hamdo. Whether Shu can possibly accomplish saving those he cares about while still holding up to his values remains to be seen.
