Hiya!
I'm kinda new here, but i just wanted to ask....

How did you all find out about 'Bokurano'?

I'm just wondering because it doesn't seem like many people know about it, let alone 'like' it.

I found out about Bokurano from the Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga song....
I liked the 'UNINSTALL UNINSTALL...." thing.

How awsome is that word also?!
It's like.....hard core computer speak that robots like me acctually understand! >.<



Isn't Violence just Adorable?! >.<

I watched Narutaru two years ago and it was one of the most impressive animes i ever seen. It's a pity they never finished the story. When i managed to find all the chapters I read the manga. And i found out i really enjoy Mohiro Kitoh's style. The serious approach to violence is extremely rare in anime. Most of the drama/psychological shows are usually driven by cliche characters and plot-devices. Even the best ones simply tell the same stories in a slightly different manner yet with the same morals and ideas. Mohiro Kitoh does exactly the opposite. I think that's kinda cool. Also i seem to enjoy his simplistic and elegant drawing style.

So, well, I was just searching for other shows based on Mohiro Kitoh's works. I don't really like mecha at all but this show is a worthy exception.

Don't recall how I found it but I am damn glad I found it. Quickly became one of my favorites...

I hope it gets licensed soon. Funimation has been picking up a lot of Gonzo titles, only one left is Bokurano xD

i found it by pure chance!. i had nearly finished watching claymore (which i think also was pure chance) sitting in school so obviously it wasn't time to work it was time to download a couple differnt animes out of a random list and see which series i would watch next. Bokurano lucked out!.

my head of year didn't like it to much tho. she looked both mad and slightly confused by what she was seeing when i was caught :P.

The main reason I watched this is because I heard the theme song in the Nico Nico thing and thought it was cool, this turned out to be one of my favorite anime. I lot of people don't recommend it because it isn't your typical mecha show, since the mecha is really just a plot device and not really the main emphasis of the series. Personally out of all the "mecha" shows I've liked were because of elements other than the mecha itself. I think people might not like this because
. I've actually recommended this to a lot of people and if it's licensed state-side anytime soon I can probably promote it better by letting people borrow the DVDs.

I also discovered Bokurano through Nico Nico, and god I'm glad I did. It easily became one of my favorites. It's too bad it's so underrated though :/

Well, I think it is maybe not so well known in part because outside Japan, it was only aired on the Phillippines, LatinAmerica and recently in Arab countries.

Discovered it through TV Tropes, lol. Haven't gotten round to it yet (last time I was in the mood for something dark, it was a toss-up between SSNarutaru and Bokurano, and SSNarutaru won), but I look forward to it.

I can't remember how I first heard about it, but I was reminded of it again when some friends in the anime club at my uni mentioned it at one meeting.

I'm now reading the manga.

For some reason this anime didn't give me rest in "random" things, I just happened to see it everywhere. I watched first episode and wanted to stop but was too lazy to get out of the bed so I watched the other one... And... oh god I fell in love! :O

It's now my most favorite anime ever.

Found out about this one through MAL, people were discussing anime with the highest body count they'd seen ... it seemed interesting, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Glad I did, it's similar to Gantz in the 'deadly game' aspect, and will probably end on a similarly depressing note ... still, I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy the ride.
