Well~ I realised that I haven’t mentioned about this great show. I’ve actually read the manga it really hit me so hard, it’s terrific.
Sypnosis
15 children, 8 males and 7 females, gets involved in a game by a man called Kokopelli. Kokopelli claimed to be a programmer working on a brand new game, in which a large robot has to defend the Earth against fifteen alien invasions. He persuades the children to test the game and sign a contract. All but one of them signs, and suddenly find themself to be awoken at the beach believing what happened was just a dream.
That night, two giant robots appear suddenly by the beach. A small creature, calling itself ‘Dung Beetle’, appears and claims to be their guide. It teleports the children into one of the robot. Kokopelli was inside and controlling the black robot in order to defeat the enemy robot. During battle he gives the children a brief tutorial on how to pilot the robot as he destroys the enemy. Once he has finished he tells the children that they are on their own now and sends them back to the beach. As the children are teleported out, somone observes Kokopelli whispering “I’m sorry”.
In Bokurano, the story tends to focus on one character and their background story. Of course in a game, there are always rules.
