I started watching this today and ... anyone else notice the lights winking out, one by one on the (I guess you call them face plates?)? Eerie.... but it would support the idea of other teams of children piloting these things... one victory, one death, one light.
Holy fuck am I glad I didn't miss this series.

MAN That one f**ked up episode. I loved it And Next one will be continue ownage.
"Life is hilariously cruel" by Bender
Interesting turn of events, did not expect anyone in the world to believe them on such a scale so soon. Thought it would be just something between themselves, and the appeareance of dung beetle in front of everyone kind of surprised me.
Well guess i have been seeing it as Gantz a bit too much so far
This series kicks more ass than Jack Bauer.
Ok not really, but it does kick a lot of ass.
Awsome ep.
So freaking awsome, when dung beetle cut of the arm :-/
Cant wait to see next episode...rape?
This is a big collection of some messed up kids.
jesus christ this is some fucked up, yet somehow awesome stuff.... they brought sex and lust into this series out of nowhere! I thought the kids were a bit too young, but apparently not...
that one girl turned out to be such a slut, or at least a tease... Looks like next episode sticks with her and Kako... and as MFauli picked up and the episode 6 title suggests, it's going to be a really dark one.
Dung Beetle might be the most cold hearted character i've ever seen in an anime... He just keeps on fucking with everyone and even causing anguish for the kids. I seriously think he's the most vile character I've ever seen. I must have watched the arm removal about twenty times... and when Dung's alone, is he talking to Kokopelli?
i've never been more shocked, enthralled, horrified and moved by an anime. Not even NtHt, not Berserk, nothing. This is it. Bokurano is the fucked up king of my world right now.
i've started to read the Bokurano manga, just going to stick along with what the anime covers. There's been some interesting things omitted from the anime (which i will stay mum on unless asked to, and then will be more than willing to PM people if they're interested, but not post any manga-only out in the anime forums). It's quite good.
edit - oh, and I figured out who the VA for Dung Beetle-sama is. None other than Akira Ishida (Athrun, Judeau, Kaworu, many others)

Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
OMG! I was bored and masa was harping so I decided to give this another go. I had only watched the first ep and judged the show as a Mecha and thus decided it wasn't good. I might as well have just shit into my mouth, chewing for 60 seconds and swallowed. This show is amazing. The massive psychological stress overrides pretty much everything else (which is also pretty cool) and is just awe inspiring. We've got a middle schooler banging her teacher and proud of it, all kinds of of weird family structures, and now poor Karo-kun, what will he do to that girl in the aquarium.
Thank you masa for leading me to give this another chance!
Episode 6 - Triad
Episode 7 - Triad
Edit: Man, those were some fucked up episodes. I knew that guy was scum, the first time I saw him.

Wow, i hated the first ep.
Why wouldnt she give him a f*** when she knows that he´s going to die :P
And then she....bit** ^^
Second ep was super-weird. One whole ep about he pedophile relationship, lol.
I wouldn't fuck some dude that's going to die. Especially when he attempts to rape you with that sick demented face, and that shitty attitude of his.
I'm surprised how serious they made this out of a show full of kids. I loved those two eps, hated that pedo guy from the start. Pure ownage. I wanna see what she'll do next ep. Gonna be sweet.
One the one hand, you can't make people bang people if they don't want to, and she's still a kid so something like the idea that fucking the unstable pilot of the robot that has to save the world might not be a bad idea in the long run, since she and everyone else on earth won't die after he loses it and can't fight might be a bit much for her to wrap her head around. That being said, even most adult women I know wouldn't be able to take on for humanity and fuck some unhinged guy just because he was the only thing standing between earth and a giant monster. It's interesting to note however, that none of the monsters so far have seemed interested in destroying the earth, they only seem to fight with Zearth and get beaten. Maybe after they'd beaten Zearth they'd go on rampages but there's no real way to know if these monsters are really planning to destroy everything or not unless one beats the kids.
fucked up shit.
i like how this show actually has a realistic approach of how the Japanese government might respond to such an extraordinary event. Then again, it is a little tiresome watching the military, since you know they're not going to be able to do anything.
I think the only pilots I've liked so far are Waku and Kokopelli... I really did not like Kako. He's been a d-bag from day one, and now a rapist right at the end. ...although, watching episode 7, i did feel a bit bad for him. one-sided affection always sucks. (but nothing justifies his behavior in episode 6).
At first I thought the teacher was going to be an OK guy. He seemed nice and honestly interested in his students' well-being. But, well, he's a slime ball who is good at lying. No wonder he was so mad about getting fired from basketball coach, since it'll make it harder for him to get material for his online lolicon hobby. The worst part of that episode for me was how Chizu's family was such a bunch of idiots... And I did feel bad for Kako...
Knew she'd be the next pilot. Painfully obvious. Also, the markings appearing on people's faces is new, isn't it? It didn't happen with Waku or Kodama.
Since they lost a pilot, do they automatically lose? Is this why they might use the little girl as a replacement?

I kinda always thought that the core you crushed to disable the enemy robot, actually was actually their life force or whatever. So, maybe destroying that orb, is destroying yourself. That's what I thought could've been a possibility instead of just the robot running on the lifeforce of a human to move.
I'm not quite sure what you mean about the little girl as the replacement. Are you talking about the little sister of the abusive brother, who did not input her data into the computer (or whatever)? Weren't they going to use Chizu (which I thought you were talking about at first)? I thought that since they lost Kako, and since we saw the spinning chairs in preparation for the choosing of the next pilot, they get a new pilot right then and there. And since we're seeing her past, yeah it's her.
sorry for the confusion.
you're right, Chizu was picked to pilot since Kako was killed prematurely. But, I was saying, since 14 people signed the contract, that it would require 14 pilots. Kokopelli already said his didn't count. Also, I don't see her as never getting involved. It's just my hunch.
I changed my opinon of Kodama after reading his fight in the manga (chapters 6-7). They draw a much better picture of him... I won't go into it here, I posted in the manga section.
...i've stopped reading the manga, due to some differences in chronology between the anime and the manga. also, the anime adds lot of stuff about the Japanese government early on that the manga simply doesn't have.

i wasn't really into this series when i watched the first episode..
now, it's a damn good series to me..currently on episode 6..so, according to Wiki..there's a slight change in some characters' storyline. I will definitely read the manga soon.
*downloading episode 7*
<3 Tessa-chan! <3 Lucifus! ....chotto mate.
Bokurano - Episode 08 - The Triad
Your number is up, slut!

So this episode pretty much confirms that the other robots are also piloted, and most likely by kids as well. They often show shots of the robots' "faces" during the battles and they all have lights as well.
