I just finished watching a anime called Now and Then, Here and There about a week ago and it's pretty good and it's really short as well (like 13 episodes). Below is a description of the anime:

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, Lala-Ru. Lala-Ru possesses a pendant containing (somehow) a vast reservoir of water and she has the ability to control that water.

In this new world, Shu is beaten and interrogated. He is forced to join an army of Heliwood which is made up of children which pillage in search of water and more children to become future soldiers. He wishes to return home and also find the mysterious girl whom he tried to protect.

Much of the series deals with serious moral issues relating to war, the consequences of war, rape, democide, human brutality and the exploitation of children.

It is a very touching anime story that should be watched if you got some spare time.

Sounds like an interesting anime. Where did you watch or download it?

I watched it on tv on the sci-fi channel. but you can find this anime anywhere online. Dub and sub are both good.
