At first I thought it was shockingly bad but it managed to turn me around a bit at the end and question what I really thought of it. It def could have been better and it is without a shadow of a doubt not the best anime out there.

Anyone else seen it?

yes I have, and I ignored the warning the sub group had with it also.
is that REALLY the official english title? it should have been, "My Girlfriend: The Ultimate Weapon", although that may have been taken as comedic.

The meaning is pretty straight-forward but the kanji might be wrong. You could probably check in the official description.


When I was in high school, I avoided this anime because I didn't want anything "romantic" or "cheesy". I also avoided Onegai Teacher.
Five years later, some dude lent me his Saikano DVDs and I watched the series. I liked it. It's not exactly romantic, but dramatic. The ending could have been better.

Apparently, Onegai Teacher is still cheesy romantic, so I won't watch it, ever... unless this same dude comes up and gives me free anime, then, hell, I watch anything.

I heard about this title but never picked it up... I guess there is no time like the present.

It's not. The Viz DVDs are titled "Saikano." Man I need to watch the fansub version of this sometime, especially after I begged and pleaded for someone to upload it.

okay i just finished episode 2.... and for those who have seen it does it get happy at all? i mean damn.... come on....
he definitely could of got some... the worst part though is the scar... I.E. she will never have kids... SADNESS

does it get less sad? or is this the calm before the storm? damn good show well animated, characters seem okay but still.. i dont wanna be dragged through pain and sorrow for the entire thing.

oh yeah and i searched for Saikano and almost made a new thread! original poster should have put Saikano / She: the ultimate weapon
