Since one or more of the enemy pilot's lines are near perfect American-accented English, does that mean that the U.S. is one of Japan and Chise's enemies? -- 206.255.32.51 21:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
What's the deal? I dunno what the heck you're talking about. Saikano was never on TV. If it was, I would have definitely heard if it was edited. -- TcDohl 17:59, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
This anime strongly reminds me of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Unknown enemy attacking Japan protected by an ultimate weapon. Lots of nervous breakdown for main characters. An apocalypse in the end with only the main characters surviving. Maybe these similarities should be mentioned in the article... -- CannibalSmith 19:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I found this on a website: Originally on A&E (25 min.) Status: Ended Premiered: July 2, 2002 Last Aired: September 24, 2002 sorry for of topic stuff but IS THIS TRUE??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Saikano ( talk • contribs) 17:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC).
I have confirmed by the evidence i saw in saikano & japans past that the enemy that japan is fighting is the USA! i dont like that but its true, heres why:
Now does that mean the creater hate the USA? No, its just an anime. All that alone is proof enought to say that, so with all that said and done I can now say saikano's war is japan vs the USA!-- Lolicon3043910 18:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
In the anime saikano: If my definition of the word Holocaust is right ( mass death), then saikano has a Holocaust! Right? -- Lolichan4u 17:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to add a little more regarding the location of the series, but was afraid it may be considered Original Research. I travelled to Otaru several years ago to explore the area that was used for the series. Using screenshots from the series, I managed to travel up "Hell's Hill", as well as reach the Asahi Observation Hill we we find Shuuji in the beginning. There is a school that is located up "Hell's Hill", and the road to the Asahi Observation Hill is across the street from it. This school is Otaru Shougyou (i.e. Otaru Commerical High School). Assuming the creators were truly faithful to geography and the like, I am fairly confident that this is the HS that Chise and Shuuji would be attending.
Therefore, I would like to add this to the page, but wanted confirmation that I could without other people thinking this could be considered Original Research. --( KaminaAyato 16:39, 12 June 2007 (PDT))

Both the manga and the anime feature a hotly-contested war. Battles are shown through the lives of people on the front, but the diplomatic particulars of the war are not revealed to the audience. A reason is never given as to why the war broke out in the first place, what the war is all about, or what countries the Japan Self-Defense Forces and Chise are fighting against. However, there is speculation about possible foes. For example, in one episode an enemy plane is shot down near the city and the pilot's one or two lines are in near perfect American English. In the manga, Chise speaks to the enemy soldiers, saying that she does not know much English, and later in the series there are certain enemy soldiers that speak French. The OVAs also portray some of the soldiers speaking French. This would suggest that there is an international coalition invading Japan.
However, in the end of both the anime and the manga, Chise remarks that many other parts of the world had experienced "horrendous things", and that "humans have done a lot of damage to this world". This may imply that the invasion was due to the lack of livable land anywhere else other than Japan, which was protected by Chise. This in turn would cause other countries to seek places where people are able to live. On the other hand, Chise could have been referring to her own creation and her part in destroying much of the world.
The only weapons of mass destruction observed in both the anime and manga was Chise herself, who by the middle of the story had the power to destroy entire cities and did so on a fairly regular basis. In more than one battle over a Japanese city, Chise simply vaporized the city and most of the people in it. Coupled with the comments about how the enemy had nowhere to return to and how Chise has been "working" all over the world, it seems unlikely that the invasion by other nations is simply over territory.
I heard news of a Saikano video game with scenes not shown in the anime! It contains action+adventure! I will have an article on it when it is released!-- Saikano II 15:21, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
I can't get over the way anime fans edit these articles. I can appreciate enthusiasm for a story and wanting to make a detailed article about it, but we do not need complete plot summaries and certainly not descriptions of any characters' death! Look at this: "Akemi gets fatally injured (due to massive internal bleeding) during an earthquake that hits their little town, and with her dying breath, she tells Shuji her real feelings." It's shameful. Read Jyu Oh Sei for an example of how things should be written. There are no ending details, there are no active attempts to ruin the story for others. People come here looking for an encyclopedia article, not a list of spoilers.
I'll fix this article at some point in the future if nobody else is up to it. Can't you guys show some self-restraint and not post this kind of thing in the first place? Over the last couple of years I've rewritten about a dozen anime articles here, it seems like the entire genre has got a glut of people who like ruining stories for others. 76.10.139.182 ( talk) 22:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
After extensive research, I have found the school used in Saikano, as well as its name! It's not definite, but geologically, it's the most likely setting of the school. It is called . It is the only school locted on Hell's Hill in Otaru. -- Akemi Loli Mokoto ( talk) 15:38, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
You have to understand that for an article regarding a show, the only reference/citation that can be included is...get this...the show itself.
I do not see people spamming, for example, the transformer movie articles with "Where is the reference for Optimus Prime fighting Megatron?" and "Where is the reference that the Allspark was in the movie?". It seems someone hates this series a lot to spam all the "This article isnt good enough!!!" tags on it(but doesnt want to contribute). Seriously, you want references for..."The series features a hotly contested war"? You might as well ask for references for "Frodo is a hobbit in Lord of the Rings". Its obvious!
Seriously, what do you want? Tagging every single paragraph and sentence with a [XX] -> "Saikano TV Series"? If you dont believe that event X or character Y is in the show, perhaps you could watch the show first and prove the information in the article is false first before insisting on citations and references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.65.245.3 ( talk) 21:42, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

I've never seen this interpretation of the anime ending outside this article. Isn't the common interpretation that the "natural disaster" is Chise gone rampant, destroying the earth? She saves "Chise's Town" for last, because that's where Shuji is. 92.40.254.50 ( talk) 22:16, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
I sorted the war section, removing all the unsubstantiated opinion.
I also edited the character info, removing the spoilers. There is no need, for example, to explain how Akemi dies, to give a decent outline of her character. nagoyablue ( talk) 06:04, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
