I read Bokurano a while back, and while the anime clearly changes some stuff for the worst and some for the best; this song represents all of Bokurano for me. I always feels so melancholic while hearing it
I really like the whole concept of the story. But I thought the show fell pretty flat in many areas. For starters the fights were kinda lame. It definitely needed a bigger budget and a more imaginative director or whatever. You could have done some amazing things here. But it was just bland. I can't take most of the kids seriously or really even feel sad. It is possible to make a viewer nearly cry in the span of a episode. Just look at Violet Evergarden. But we had over 12 episodes with some of these kids and other than a "oh that sucks for you buddy" they just don't make me feel anything. Maybe it is the animation idk. I know the manga is significantly different at certain portions. I really tried to feel something for this cause so many people said it was good. But it just wasn't anything crazy for me. I respect the idea of most of the kids. But it need much more. To a certain extent I would say the bad animation, fights, and lack of memorable OSTs just made it mediocre. Glad I watched it. But it's a solid 6 out of 10 for me. Good AMV tho
