Well i thought a lot before picking up Bokurano.I don't quite remember why, but i did have some doubts about it.I feared it would turn out just your everyday crappy mecha.And the previews of the story line suggested so.
Anyway in one boring afternoon i decided to try out the anime.It tunred out very good.Way beyond my expectations.
The story goes on and unravels into something that you haven't quite expected,becomes really interesting and complicated.
The Art, well, what can i say about it.Some people find it quite ugly while others like it.As for me,it didn't bother a bit.It's true that sometimes the 3D can get under
...
your skin, and that sometimes the art gets rather simple.But at the other end, sometimes the art is really helping you get into the "flow of emotions" if i may say so.
As for sound.Sound was so-so.It was there when you needed it and it wasn't sort of in the way.The opening was very nice.I personaly enjoyed it a lot.Pretty nice song.The two endings were nice both in visual and audio aspect.
Characters.This is where the series excels.At the start i thought that 15 characters would be too much of a number for 24 eps.I feared that the characters wouldn't be fully developed.All my fears were put to waste.Each and every one of the kids is so unique and different from the other.Each with it's own problems and toubles.And yet all of them bound by the same thing.
Enjoyment.Hmm what can i say i enjoyed it.Hope you do too.
Overall I'll give it an 8 because of the sound and art.
And if you're looking for your everyday mecha,this is NOT for you.If you want to see how people interact with each other in interesting situations and you want to see how kids can feel and act in their darkest hour, this is the anime for you.
