Chiaki Ishikawa - Uninstall, that is the name of Bokurano opening (beautiful sonf and beutiful video), and It's because of this song that I started to watch this anime. I'm not even a mecha fan, and when I saw robots fighting in the opening I had doubts that this would be good. But, after only a few minutes of watching the first episode there were no regrets. Anime have a very deep psychological story with a realistic and interesting characters. Every episode focus on each of the main characters, children, placing them into the highly disturbing situations. The major plot is mental dilemm about what will you do for the the sake of mankind and how would you spend you last day on earth. The only thing that could be better was character animation, and music in some moments was boring, but everything else (specially the characters and theirs dialoges) was excellent. (show less)

This anime is what you can describe as "What if..."
What seems to be a normal "slice of life" anime type, it really turns a 180º, and turn to an amazing story about human nature and raw human emotions, with a LOT o drama!
The story tell us the life of 15 children, when faced with the unthinkable reality of being the "saviours of Earth". By winning each battle against the enemy they postpone the destruction of Earth. However, after some time they realize that "no good deed goes unpunished"...and they start to crumble towards the pression and the iminent future that is ahead of them. Knowing that they're doom whatever the path they took, we can see the pure and raw human nature.

This anime is a piece of art, where we can see the true human emotions and actions, without embellishing the scenery. It is what it is...no heroes or villains, just a bunch of kids with nothing to win, fighting for what they think is right.

Truly a TOP 10 ANIME...must watch it! ;) (show less)
