You get to watch Shuji utterly unable to do anything about the former. You get to watch Chise lose her humanity bit by bit. You're going to want to keep anything you can hurt yourself with far away from you as you go through the series. I am going to warn you straight off the bat this is probably one of the most depressing anime in existence.
#SAEKANO EPISODE 10 SERIES#
The rest of the series focuses on their relationship, and how Chise's being turned into a weapon affects that, juxtaposed with the war that's going on. There's this gleam of light that absolutely decimates the enemy bombers, and Shuji ends up following it when it crashes and it turns out that it's Chise, who's more or less been turned into a cyborg. There's a war going on, but they're somewhere near Sapporo on Hokkaido, the northernmost island in Japan, so it doesn't really affect them, up until the day that Sapporo gets bombed. Story: So, there's this couple, Shuji and Chise, who've just started going out, and they're so amazingly awkward with each other, the way you first are when you're just starting to go out with someone.
