Manga: Bokurano Song: "Music Of The Spheres" by The Receiving End Of Sirens This was going to be a long vid, using the full song and showing the characters' motivations and reasons, but I only made this much and left it at that. Bokurano's main theme is choosing between dying and saving the earth or dying and saving nothing, and this is why it's interesting to me. It's not "choosing to live vs choosing to die for something", I would object to a lot of that. Instead, the characters are going to die soon anyway. It's chilling, and in this context I can enjoy reading about why the characters choose to fight and protect something. Not all of them and their personal stories, but there are some I like.
