Synopsis

Yumi and Kyo are children who have been selected to take part in a top secret mission, to be the pilots of the first Fafner combat units; the last chance of survival for the human race. The enemy is ruthless, remorseless and is able to read the minds of humans. Therefore, the details of this mission are kept a secret even from the personnel involved. The young pilots must use all their courage and faith in order to survive and complete their mission or the fate of mankind would be compromised.

This short has a very good story concept, albeit a sad one. However it is not very thought out or explained. I watched this with a feeling that I was missing something through the entire thing. Perhaps there is some sort of prequel that I haven't heard of? Anyhow, onto the review.

Story:
The last safe island on earth. A government which subliminally trains the children of the island to know about the war going on outside, and how to pilot the Fafner mecha which are used in the war. Silicone monsters that attack, and can mostly only be beaten using a Fafner. Fafners can only be read more

Right of Left is one of the best OVA's of a series I've seen in a long time. Taking place shortly before the events of the main Fafner series, Right of Left presents the tale of an almost completely new cast of pilots who do their very best to protect Tatsumiyajima island from the invasion of the alien species, the Festum. Taking place on a submarine, the objective of Right of Left is to use a small team of pilots to act as a decoy, thus preventing the main settlement from being engulfed in the war.

Note: I watched this AFTER watching the main Fafner series, read more

Recommendations

Both of them show a desperate struggle against a foreign enemy using mecha that can either be a blessing or a curse. The Strains are only good if you have a mimic for them while the Fafner's slowly eat away at the pilot. Both have a major dramatic climax that leads to the resolution.
Bokurano and Fafner-Right of Left are mecha titles in which the robots serve to develop the characters. In both series children are forced to wage an excruciating battle with an aura of bittersweet tragedy that weights upon everyone. Bokurano does an exceptional job in fleshing out a rather vast cast while Right of Left focuses more exclusively on two characters; in both the human element is much more important than the action and these somewhat underrated titles deserve considerably more attention than they receive.
