Kimi to Boku.

Awww... Just finished watching the series and I already miss these guys (ノ_<。) (yay, there is season 2, so I will enjoy a bit more ^^). This guys are so different but I can't imagine this crew without one of them! Before this anime I finished watching "Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou" and was looking for another such comedy. "Kimi to Boku" isn't so funny as previous named one, but it is full of kindness and calming! ^^ Of course there are also funny moments, but it is still more relaxing :) I really enjoyed this series and I love each main characters (except Tachibana, sorry ... guys, but he was given a nickname from Kaname for a reason >.<). If you are looking for a really good comedy, then this anime isn't for you. But if you are ok with just smiling all the time you watch it and warm atmosphere, then WELCOME!

I definitely will rewatch it later (♡˙︶˙♡)

Kimi to boku, as the cover shown, but it wasnt ONLY about the characters from the cover. From episode to episode, they will introduce a characters or more and made them interact with each other and the next episode, they will completely forget about the new character cuz these new (side) characters were lasted for only ONE episode.

So mainly, the series is about slice of life of 5 friends. I thought only that however, it wasnt as enjoyable as i thought since im fan of slice of life com. They do have story but again, only lasted for an episode and the next episode will ... forgot about the prev episode. Each episode isnt THAT enjoyable as well, each plots is something you see EVERYANIME in slice of life and the joke only made me smile but one episode particularly made me laughed (the make manga episode).

Oh didnt i mention, theres also romance. The romance is kind of boring, shallow, im into romance genre too but the heroin for each boys (except Shun) are boringgggg including their love story. Only lasted for an episode but in the end they not dating with their 'love interest' as if they forgotten about them for good. The 'side' characters has better romance and they actually going out with each other. But at this point, WHy DO I CARE ABOUT THEM?

The main characters (5 boys), they're mediocre af. I do like the twins with their cool playful characteristics but they ruined them by introduce to their 'love interest' that has the most boring characteristic that i nearly skip the episodes. Yes one episode=one love story.

For those who love and a veteran weeb romcom slice of life like me, i dont recommend this anime especially if you're experience other better anime with same genre. This anime isnt bad but isnt good either but if you're weeblets, i guess this is ok for you.

I made a video: you can find it at my YouTube channel "BasementOtaku"

Video Script:
You and Me Season 1 (1/10): I know this rating might piss some people off so I would direct them to the video description on how to better understand my rating system. Now it is time to spiral headlong into this spoiler filled review.

You and Me was a show that I discovered while going back through all of the seasonal anime on Crunchyroll and placing shows with high ratings and premises that interested me in my que. After Kokoro Connect blew my expectations of the water when I chose to give ... it a watch, as I wasn’t expecting the show to feel that real or get that dark I had hoped to find another comparable show in You and Me. So when I saw “Together we will watch as they laugh, dance, cry and share the memories of growing up together in everyday life” referring to the group of friends pictured I figured that a show with three hundred and twenty nine five star ratings had to be SPECTACULAR and hit some really powerful character beats! Little did I know that the show was attempting to cash in on the ‘’cute boys do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING’ crowd.

Now the main reason You and Me season one is a one and not a four or five is because it keep leading me on and then smacking me on the head when I hoped for decent character development. The show even says multiple times throughout its run that the characters haven’t changed at all since they knew each other back in kindergarten. Which could have been a great setup to subvert character's expectations as they all begin to grow apart or change as people and struggle to come to terms with those changes. Sadly the show seems more content with setting up those hooks only for us to learn that the characters are about as deep as their initial tropes that were established in episode one.

That isn’t to say that the first season doesn’t have any redeeming qualities as the third episode, while slow, is still an interesting look at one of the twins and how they held some deep seeded self resentment around from their childhood. Then it is addressed at the end of the episode and it turns out it was no big deal but he still feels a little sad about it. It is a nice message about the importance of communication and that circumstances aren’t always what they seem, but then it NEVER ADDRESSES THAT AGAIN. The rest of the season is littered with unresolved or poorly resolved plot points.

Episode one, we find out that glasses guy was into his kindergarten teacher and kind of still is but this never develops past a side gag. Episode two we meet the small angry girl character who does a complete 180 and falls in love with the effeminate group member who is oblivious to her interest and never goes past a running gag that she likes him and he doesn't notice or she is too afraid to tell him. Episode five little blond guy starts to show interest in small angry girl but that goes unaddressed until episode two of season two. Episode seven has a very interesting premise about one of the twins saying yes to a girl who asks him out, this is where I really got my hopes up that the show would start to break down the established tropes and start to develop the characters, but all it turns into is the twin talking about missing his brother and the girl having crappy friends. Then it goes a step further and has the twin tell the girl to stick with her awful backstabbing friends because reasons. I was really hoping this would later come back and show how truly toxic the main group's relationships with one another are but nothing ever develops and it is just an episode about staying in your lane even if it sucks. Episode eleven sets up the lunchlady arc and episode twelve introduces effeminate guys younger brother, both of which go unaddressed until season two. The rest of the episodes are gag episodes that do nothing to develop the characters or further any subplot.

Now you might be wondering why I gave season one and season two separate scores when they obviously share story ties and I would ask Crunchyroll the same question. Because as of writing this review Crunchyroll has them listed as separate shows. The only reason I found there was a season two is because I couldn’t believe season one was that awful and inconclusive so I looked it up and discovered there was a season two. If you are interested on my thoughts, you can check out my season two video. As for my season one thoughts I’m fairly certain it is clear, this is the worst show I have ever finished, hence the one out of ten rating.

Also I forgot to mention the show is incredibly boring!
