Saikano - Saishuuheiki Kanojo

Akhirnya menonton cerita ini sebanyak 13 episod. Sedih endingnya. Well, it was sad the whole way really. The title means The Last Weapon Girlfriend. Although the idea of using a timid, slow, kawaii girl as the ultimate weapon is ridiculous, the story is well done so you feel for the doomed characters. Doomed from the beginning.

The ultimate weapon is Chise, a kawaii, slow, clumsy, timid girl who most of her vocabulary consists of only gomen nasai. Quite innocent, was in a crush with Shuji and finally summoned enough courage to ask him if he could be her boyfriend. As they tried to learn to understand and love each other, she was summoned by the military. She turned out to be Japan's final ultimate weapon as the world approaches its end. She tried to accept this fact but as all she does is destroy and not protect, she grew more and more reluctant with this ability. But at the same time, her weapon self grew colder and colder.

The boyfriend is Shuji. Mr Cool of sort. He always scolded Chise for being clumsy and slow. He said yes when Chise asked him to be her boyfriend because he thought she was kawaii. He almost asked for a break because he couldn't seems to keep up maintaining a relationship, but after her outburst, he gave it a second chance. There were moments when he cheated on her but as the story goes on further to the latter episodes, you will learned that he truly loves Chise, accepting her despite her disgust with her own body. In the end, he was the last surviving human on earth, living in the memory of their past.
