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 and 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.

All in all the best animated series I've seen. It was hardcore. I watched the series in Japanese with English subtitles. The series gives you a feel of the horror and suffering people can endure under the will of a tyrant. Most people will give in to the tyrant and become like the tyrant in their compromise to survive. A few will express good and hope despite the great evil being inflicted upon them and those around them. I'm sure this story derived it's material from the ongoing horror stories throughout the world: child soldiers kidnapped in Africa, young recruits to the Taliban and radical Islamic terrorists, rebels who join the FARC in Colombia, gang recruits in major inner cities throughout the world, etc.
