Now and Then, Here and There

A Japanese boy named Shu tries to save a strange girl, Lala Ru, from kidnappers and is transported to an alternate Earth on the brink of being swallowed by the sun. There he meets an American girl from his time, Sara, who was mistakenly captured because of her resemblance to Lala Ru. Shu becomes an unwilling member of the crazy and cowardly King Hamdo's army, and Sara is forced to have sex with the adult soldiers so that she can become pregnant and bear mores soldiers or slaves. Lala Ru, who can create water--a rarity in that time--using her pendant, is both a savior and a victim in a world where factions are willing to fight and die for her abilities, and at the same time keep her locked up.

Meet happy-go-lucky boy Shu. He lives the typical life of a kid, until one day on the way home from Kendo practice when he sees a mysterious girl admiring the sunset from the top of a factory exhaust pipe. While Shu tries to coax her into a conversation, a time warp suddenly opens to reveal Lady Abelia, who immediately identifies the mysterious girl as "Lala-Ru." As Lady Abelia tries to capture Lala-Ru, the whole lot is transported into the future. It's the action-packed opener to the series that Anime News Network calls "...one of the best newer shows [they've] seen."
