Bokurano

Description on AnimeDB.net

More than just a robot anime.

An anime I find myself looking forward to is Bokurano. These kids get themselves in a fix that they can't escape. Lives and the fate of the world are on the line as each kid prepares to leave a chair, a life and an entire world behind them.

The choices they make, their cruel fate, and their individual lives leading up to their last hours together give a depth to this anime that I haven't seen in a long time.

Check out the the opening song. I really dig it! It's Uninstall by Ishikawa Chiaki.

This season's picks

Tried some new anime, a lot I didn't like. I usually don't write about anime that I don't like. I'm not much of a critic. I'd rather talk about anime that I did like. The only anime that is keeping me alive this season are:

• Love Complex...I've already read all the scanlations available, and went ahead to read up to volume 8 in raws..kanzaiben is a tricky beast to read for me (See Anime Spotlight)
• Emma...ah, trying my best not to peek ahead at the manga
• Nodame Cantabile...love it. honey and clover replacement
• Bokurano...ah, just messed up sometimes (See Anime Spotlight)
  
• Naruto Shippuuden...Sakura is better, still hasn't impressed me (See Anime Spotlight)
• Seto no Hanayome...the characters are hilarious together, forget the plot
• Kaibutsu Oujo...that ending theme has some slightly disturbing sights (See Anime Spotlight)
  
• Ookiku Furikabutte...it's good so far. I don't know much about baseball, though (See Anime Spotlight)
  
• Claymore...it's not bad, but it's not as entertaining as it could be (See Anime Spotlight)
  
• Seirei no Moribito...gah, she can fight, take hits and strategize (See Anime Spotlight)
