From the Wiki:

"Hiroyuki Morita blog controversy

Regarding differences between the stories in the manga and in the anime, Hiroyuki Morita, who directed the anime, wrote in his blog that he dislikes the original story and has, in some ways, been making changes to the plot for that reason. He also wrote that, at one point early in the development of the show, he asked manga author Mohiro Kitoh if he could find some way to save the main characters -- the kids who must pilot Zearth. He wrote that Kitoh responded that his choice was fine as long as the changes did not involve "magical solutions" to the story. Morita closed out the blog entry with the statement, "The director of the anime version of Bokurano hates the original work. Viewers should not expect to see any aspects that they liked about the original manga appearing in the anime. So fans of the manga, please stop watching the anime"[2]"

Well, I think that kinda proves my point. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that children were still killed, just in different, perhaps less graphic ways, and the story just fizzled. With a mokona floating over the bodies, taunting the survivors and yelling "Cry you stupid b!tches!"

Even watered down, the point seems to be simple shock value, not any kind of achievement in story telling.

Can you tell I'm not a fan of reality shows?

Reminder the anime was editted from the manga story because of audience complaints about how the children were being killed XD

Is it just me or is Gonzo stuck in a rut? This was just a retelling of Gantz using robots. The point of the show is to kill the main characters for no reason and hint at a shadow conspiracy intent on destroying the earth. Make all the main characters complete stereotypes and toss in a couple anti-social sociopaths in to make sure we don't like any of the them, and dislike a few more than others. Then, right at the point where the studio will be forced to actually deal with that plot, ie confront the conspiracy, the series ends.

Rinse and repeat. For a change in pace, let's steal from CLAMP and add a homicidal Mokona.

This could have been a great show if they had actually wanted to do something interesting.

Update from The-Triad:
"By popular request, here's another update. Coming this Sunday, two more eps of Bokurano."

This series isn't dead yet, though it seems like no one is watching it anymore.

no. It sucks though after having to edit the series.

Notes from The-Triad:
"New eps coming Soon™.

Kanna: Also, forum registrations are fucked. It's moving to phpbb3 anyway, so give me a week to next month to fix it. On second thought, post comments below to convince me to keep the forum alive."
