Dilemma dilemma dilemma :( The Triad HAS to fall behind releases when the series is getting exciting (well more exciting than it already is.) I really want to know what happens next, but I’m torn between waiting faithfully for THe Triad to release subs and just reading spoilers here on THAT.

Dilemma dilemma dilemma :(

In that sense, it is perhaps understandable why the "earth" that they are in this episode is far more advanced. It is simply an "Earth" that is in a different time space to the "Earth" that we know of from the home of the Bokurano kids. I hope that I am not confusing you at all. I do apologize ahead of time for the lack of updates on Episode 14 and 15 since I am quite lazy when it comes to doing backlog posts. Do take a look at my post for <a href="http://that.animeblogger.net/2007/08/12/bokurano-16-wow-what-a-bloody-plot-twist/" rel="nofollow">Bokurano 16</a> and there is a link on that post for you to find out a bit more of 14 and 15 from another blog, a friend of mine.

Is this show set in the future or the present? Because I just realised that the JSDF's planes and subs from the kids' universe look nothing like what we have in OUR reality. If it's set in the future, then the different look could be due to more advanced technology and all that. But if it's meant to be set in the present... that would mean that the kids are from a different parallel universe than ours. Which raises the interesting possibility of the kids having to fight us, or rather the animated representatives of our universe, at some point. :) Cheers either way. I hope you keep churning out these per-episode analysis things. Very handy for picking up on the little nuances I may have missed on my first viewing.

Nevertheless, I have a feeling that it will not be extremely happy go lucky magical all recovery ending, but more of a bittersweet and contemplating ending for this show. That is how I feel will end. @Hoshimaro: It is changed supposedly from some of the fans that have mentioned about this. I guess Narutaru is yet another rather "screwed up" anime that has quite a bit of potential but just did not go far due to the budget issue. Still, Bokurano ep 13, despite all that, shows the uplifting message in the realm of death that there is life along with death altogether. @Saiga6360: I remember there is a huge outcry when the director mentioned that he hated the original work and wanted to change it in the way for uplifting.

It also implies a tragic ending in the manga that may be changed in the anime. I hope you are right though. I would prefer a somber ending to a happy one.

He is perhaps the leader of the pack and with a good personality that you find it hard to dislike. Nevertheless, another character that captures my attention must be Kanji. He is so non chalant over everything that I wonder what his real life and family will be like. @Saiga: I guess that there's no way for them to regain their reality. I think that the painful truth in which they died for the planet builds a good mood on the "uninstall" theme . That also reminds me that I have not watched Episode 15 and 16. I guess i will whip up an entry for Episode 16 later. I got to catch up with Bokurano. @Tabi: My favorite character has to be Muji for obvious reasons.

The threshold seems to be finite, like some gigantic memory buffer that holds the multiverse. "Uninstall" makes a whole lot of sense now. The question now is how the children escape their fates? I wonder if by winning, they regain their reality before Kokopelli and Zearth entered their lives? That'll make the ending somewhat disappointing.

If the kids were having a bad time before, I can't imagine what they are going through now that they know they are fighting humans. Impz Who has been your favorite character so far? One of the best episodes so far.

Gonzo have been doing such a great job with their shows it makes me want to hold up cheer banners! About the twist, I never expected that it would end up this way, aside from Mogi's words, I had no idea that this would happen so a job well-done there. I wasn't that attached to Maki so she was a little meh. As for Kirie I'm interested, I want to see whats his story since he seems introverted which shoul create for interesting writing. As for the men in the end I have no idea what to expect, Bokurano has been throwing twists here and there from the very start and none of them seem to be overbearing so thats always a plus. Its been an enjoyable ride so far don't mess up Gonzo! Lovely episode, really. Gonzo have been doing such a great job with their shows it makes me want to hold up cheer banners!

That said, it might actually be possible that she, being so crazy over Zearth, might try something like that. I truly do not believe that there is any chance of leakage, and I wonder if it is the same person who leaked to the magazine to be the same person who did this. If so, it might be Aiko's father who is a journalist or something, yes? @Diedrupo: My personal guess is that it makes no sense for the female scientist to abduct them, unless she is keen on making some strange experiments.

It is possible that the identity of the pilots have been leaked, and that those who lost family and friends in the various Zearth battles wish to get revenge. This is what I am thinking. The other possibility is that the female scientist obssessed with Zearth hired them to abduct them, but we'll see. This is original to the anime, so I have no idea what will happen.

I was trying to get the summary parts on the dialog in order to keep the summary to a concise and not overbearing one. In fact, the summary is not aimed to summarize the fighting or sequential scenes that has no words. I will take note of it though, and it's definitely not that well in my summary.

Thats a bit of an understatement. In the sequence from 13:30 to 13:52 you see increasing large chunks of the planet start flying off around Zearth. The chunks start small, and get bigger. See around 13:45 for especially large chunks. At 13:52-13:55 the sun goes Super-nova. Hardly a case of "A red burning light surrounded this planet, then Zearth disappeared into an air of stars." “A red burning light surrounded this planet, before Zearth disappeared into an air of stars, and eventually nothing.”

Thats a bit of an understatement.
