"Bokura no Yoake" is about an alien ship that crash-landed to Earth and was discovered by our protagonist. Is this the set up for a save-the-world story from an all-poweful villain? Wrong! Its only desire is to return to space. However, it is bound to a series of limitations that it, the protagonist Sawatari, and the supporting cast have to overcome. Admittedly, the premise is somewhat absurd and decent amounts of suspension of disbelief is required to enjoy it, but enjoyed I did. It was a fun watch and I'm sure you'll grow fond of Nanako—and Aoi Yuuki's excellent voice acting. As a coming-of-age story that bothembraces certain clichés and subverts some others, Bokura no Yoake executes a sendoff story very well and tackles the usual themes someone of Sawatari's age would encounter with a fantastical flavor added.
