Bokura ga Ita

Going into her first year of high school, Nanami Takahashi is filled with the hope of making many new friends. After meeting the shy Yuri Yamamoto, she hears about a popular boy in their class: Yano Motoharu. Yuri cares little for Yano because of his past relationship with her older sister Nana, and at first, Nanami doesn't like his attitude either. However, Nanami soon begins to warm up to Yano and takes a liking to him. The two spend more of their time together and eventually decide to start dating. But their love is not without challenges; Yano has trouble opening up to Nanami, since his first girlfriend, Nana, died in a car accident the year before, and she had been with one of her ex-boyfriends at the time.

Finding themselves living in the shadow of Yano's relationship with Nana, Nanami and Yano struggle to keep their relationship afloat amid misunderstandings and heartache with the certainty of their love for each other.

Bokura ga Ita

This was a pleasure to watch, it's been awhile since I have watched something that evoked such strong emotions.

The story is very true to real life situations. It truly felt like I was watching two people go about their lives and struggles as a couple. From the start we have a confession and lot's of character growth throughout the season.

The art was not the best. Nearing the end of the season there were a lot of instances where the characters were missing an eye, and during the start of the season the backgrounds were lacking so much so it felt like they ... weren't living in a real world. By the end the backgrounds did get better though or maybe I just got so involved in the story I didn't notice as much. Characters were fine with me but some people seem to have issues with them.

Sound was lovely and helped lots with pushing me over the edge with emotions.

Overall I would recommend this to anyone who loves romance with lot's of drama and plenty of heart filled moments.

Mixed Feelings

Bokura ga ita is drama through and through.
Most of you will probably find almost nothing positive. The extremely few moments that seem positive are usually completely destroyed shortly after.

The main couple doesn't fit together at all and those who would are left empty-handed.
One could think that the entire story was written by a depressed author who wanted to somehow express his bitterness with this work.

But in the end everyone has to form his own opinion.

Well, some people are into endless drama, for them the series can be recommended. Personally, I've only watched it to the end, because I basically no anime drop.

ah right yes, in ... the second half there are 2-3 moments where you can laugh :)

From everything it was "compared" to i thought this was going to be one of those super cute animes. And it was, for the for little bit. Yano was that popular guy that everybody liked and off course it was the person Takahashi met. Freaking Yuri, i was thinking she was a chill person for a while, she's the typical kuudere, talk only want needs to be sad however she feels needed.

**Going over what i dislike and liked in detail sooo kind of spoilers*****

I was a little confused when they started to talk about nana-san so much, sometimes I'd get confused which one they ... were talking about, but that wasn't a problem for too long because after a while they just started to show her face anytime she was mentioned sometimes even like 5 or more times in one episode. Like i get it, she was verry important person but cant think of anything else to show then constantly a face of a dead character. I don't know, its probably just me but they did it was too often for me. i felt that when they added Takeuchi it was a little weird maybe i just don't remember him from earlier or something i did binge the show in two nights, but the extra come about his " transgender brother" who's just "a man in a dress", something to that effect and kept going kinda rubbed me wrong, and that was kinda early on when they were first showing his character made me not want to root for him really. But later one we see him with his sister and he seems nice to her now, i don't know if i just read it wrong or what but i feel like if they have a good relationship why did they need those comment. At a couple point i did start to question if a man wrote it and surprisingly google said it was a girl. Had me question the types of things teenagers watch and which ones they decided to copy. And i hope its not these couple of teenagers her. i also wondered why continue watching it and i wanted to see how they would end this thing.

it went from showing how stupid Nana-san was for staying with her abusive boyfriend, how everybody around her speaks about her, and how they feel about the situation but then when he catches that she has a bruise because of him she slaps him(or pushes her{she hits like the closet}) so at that point i was shocked. But then i saw her go back and forth, not that i get it but now the boyfriend who was calling her stupid for staying with the last guy for hurting her, hurts her.. idk. I get why he has a sort of hate and regret, he didn't get to apologize in time and that usually eats you away. Hate on how she went back to her ex. But yeah maybe apologize sooner, but who knows in the show they didn't really show what he was doing up until the point that he tried to call her and when he got the call again saying that she got into the accident.

From Yano holding on to the fact that he slept with Yuri to lying not only to Takeuchi about what happened, and then later on with on to Takahashi (HIS CURRENT GF), to then only telling her in a way of a joke.. a terrible one at that. Of course she gets over that very quickly like millions of little things here and there that either come out wayyyy later or doesn't get "solved". The way Yuri keep was the one that kept coming to him really pissed me off and really gave me stalker vibes. And what she says to Takahashi never get talked about with Yano which was little weird to me, but maybe nit pickky. The way that Yano push her so she doesn't her didnt sit right with me, and so many other instances that made me feel like Yano was a bit of a narcist. I mean i can't tell you enough how much i wanted to stop watching when Yano literally told her put your hand up if it hurts and ill stop and when she does he does. I don't know that how animation and scenario made me feel gross to even finish the episode..

I don't know by the end of it im guessing we were supposed to be crying to but i dont know. I feel for the mom it seemed like a loveless marriage and seems like she got married because "Yano needs a father figure" i hope that's not the only reason she got remarried, a lot of the problems could have been solved with simple quicker communication. Maybe because it is anime it seems like we have these trips or plans and sometimes all we are shown is they got to the bus and that's it. Then later find out they still have the same problem, like so what they just chilled there and didn't talk about the thing they were just worrying and crying about, just feels dragged out sometimes. Happy they didn't have sex didnt think it would be the anime with it but what can you do.
