Bokurano: … I really wish I could’ve died on the Earth I grew up on.

Posted on July 6, 2008 by bateszi

I finished Bokurano this weekend, just as planned. 24 episodes in 5 days isn’t bad at all, as I’ve never been one to enjoy marathoning through anime. After all, I ended up needing nearly 2 whole years to catch up … Continue reading →
