Description: The Melody of Oblivion
In was the 20th century when the great war took place. It was a war between humans and monsters, and when it was all over, the monsters reigned victorious. Time passed, bringing with it the start new century, and people slowly started to forget that war. Although the monsters had won, they mostly kept away from the humans.
Bocca is your standard daydreaming boy, imagining about what the old times were like and about the heroic Melos Warriors that helped fight against the monsters. Well, since this is an anime, we all know that he eventually gets wrapped up into a real quest of excitement and adventure, beyond what he could have imagined.
Now, for those of you paying attention to the title, yes, it has something to do "The Melody of Oblivion", a tune that has been long lost, yet that he can hear. Coincidence?! Oh yeah, and of course he'll need to rescue a beautiful princess to help bring the tune to the rest of the world... but that was pretty much a given, don't you think?
