| The art was pretty amazing imo. |
| the ending was not what i expected not that i disliked it but if they end it like this they should make another season at least. it would be interesting to see another season with them being away from each other and she falling in love with someone else and then he comes back or she goes to him and allot drama happening like she/he telling him/her she/he now love the other guy/girl but he/she keep trying and if work out in the end or not idc cause if she/he doesn't give up on this new guy/girl it means she/he stays loyal to his/her gf/bf and being away from each other can make you fall in love with another person so i could accept that so i think it could be interesting. (then again that wouldn't fit this show its feeling and theme) i am rather confused what to give this anime i am not sure a 8 or 9 would be better for this show a 9 could fit cause it was pretty realistic at some points and it was pretty touching and all. but a 8 would fit if there would be no second season and because at some moments i could really irritate my self on characters. but i think i am going for a 8 cause i believe in the middle of the show i got really annoyed by some points maybe because there where allot of unneeded things going on that might be because they had to many episodes for this show if there is a second season it might be a 9. |

| Well, it ended the way an anime adaptation of an ongoing manga has to, with an open-ended ending. The manga went on for six years after the anime, for crying out loud! I will have to read it to find out how the story ends, though I wish they would animate the rest. I certainly hope the star-crossed lovers end up together. If the art were more consistent, I would give this a 10. I love the story, though it ripped my heart out at times. It isn't often that I watch a romance and feel that the girl is really the problem, but in this case, I feel that Nanami's inability to trust really was the problem almost the entire time. I really can't stand Yamamoto and Yano's best buddy is a bit of a prick too. Oh well, on to reading the manga to see how the story continues... sigh |

| This was a cute episode, I like it. I was expecting for a open end, so... Ooooh well.. Call me heartless, but I didn't cried in any episode. Nana not being confident enough made some pretty annoying scenes, and some attitudes from Yano too. But what I hate the most here? THE SPOILERS FROM EVERYONE! WHY PEOPLE? WHY?!! C'mon, don't spoil everything from the manga in the anime poll!! Really, it's really stupid and annoying. Can make a lot of people mad or sad. I didn't care so much because this isn't my favorite anime, but I wanted to read the manga. It's so hard to don't give spoilers? I like drama, but some things here looked so fake. But other times it looked really realistic, and I could enjoy I give 7/10 even if sometimes I would give a 3 or 9. |
| So Yamamoto called Yano when her mom was in the hospital but now that she's better, she's gonna leave her to chase Yano? I just can't stand Yamamoto, move on with your life. I know the manga went on for years after this, but I don't like open endings. And since it's been almost 8 years, I doubt there'll be a second season. I loved this anime so I'll just pretend Yano and Nanami both went to college together in Tokyo and lived happily ever after <3 |
| Fuck this shit 1/10 |
| It's been a while since an anime has been able to get the tears flowing and my breathing off rhythm to the point where I could break down and cry if I tried to utter a word. I'm surprised at how much this managed to get through to me, the moment the video stopped playing and I closed it, it sank in that this was over. To me this wasn't an open ending, since you can arbitrarily say that them getting together but not showing them get married, have kids, and become grandparents is an open ending as well. The conclusion really hit everything that this had built up home. One of the big themes in this show was trust. This was something that Nanami had been lacking and it was why her relationship with Yano kept hitting a wall. So when Yano made the decision to go to Tokyo, Nanami accepting that decision and waiting for him showed her growth as a character. This is the ultimate display of trust. I also really felt for Yuri though too. It's so depressing that she can't let go of Yano and continues to chase after him despite it being futile. He became her obsession and it's almost like a greater force is compelling her to continue following him. My only real problem with this show was Takeuchi. He started off as a strong, awesome character, but his obsession with Nanami became a bit unbelievable. It also started feeling a bit repetitive how he constantly chased after her, which led to that bit during eps 21-23 that, although it wasn't necessarily bad, wasn't really needed either. But even with that in mind, the pros outweigh and suffocate that gripe of mine. Yano and Nanami's relationship is one of the most organic I've seen in anime and I loved their witty interactions. Yano was a tease and Nanami spoke her mind. The chemistry was perfect and I can't even count how many times I smiled watching them get along. I also loved the musical choice and thought it interesting that they used insert songs more than a regular ost. 9.5/10, Bokura ga Ita really spoke to me and has left an impression that I haven't felt from anime in a long time. I'm leaning more towards a 10 but I want to wait a few days and make sure this isn't just a heat of the moment sensation. If I can look back and say fondly "I was there", then I'll round up to that 10/10. |
 |
| I gave it a 7/10 I enjoyed it, but man....there was a LOT that I didn't like....I'd say especially Yano. But I tried my best to take that out of my overall vote, because while I wanted the story to go in a different direction, it was still good. |
 |
| It's nice to finally know how it ends, since I never finished the end of the manga. It was sad that they were apart at the end, but they'll only be apart for a year and I think time apart would be good for them. But I'm surprised that Yamamoto is going to chase Yano to Tokyo...She needs to open her eyes and get over him. Maybe Yamamoto and Takeuchi should get together and stop chasing Yano and Nana xD |
| If you want to continue start on chapter 32 of the manga I'm currently reading it. I saw the anime quite a while ago. |
| I kinda lose sight between the whole melodrama. did not seem like an ending though |
 |
| Glad it's over and glad Yano went to Tokyo bc his mom really needs him and a mother is always more important than a gf duh. This anime was okay. I wouldn't recommend it to others though :/ |
| I think i liked this animes... Remembering again what kind of school love is all about... haha :D I got curiosity where the story ends after watched this animes by watching the two live action movies... ( Yamamoto is cute, haha ) I think it still better in animes, because i can feel it more... XD |
| I know I'm super late, but I was REALLY hoping it would be like Toradora in the end... This is killing me. And the music doesn't make it better in terms of how sad I am now |
 |
| Can't believe they didn't have sex before being apart for a year. Especially when early on in the series it was brought up and handled tastefully. Even the second time he went to get condoms. Shame it wasn't included, it would sell it on the realism. Still. 9.5/10 Much better than expected. Still feel bad for Yuri. I can tell where the manga is going. She will go to Tokyo to be with Yano. Nanami will waver. At least one more drama wave will happen. |
 |
| Ah, another shoujo was a bittersweet opened ending. With Nana watching as Yano leaves, the two steadfast in maintaining their long distance relationship. Well I suppose I figured as much after checking here before even starting this and seeing the source manga went another 6 years or so after this adaptation ended. And considering it's over 10 years old now I will just consider this the end. No interest in seeking out the manga. Well this was fine. You know, it's funny, I just so happened to end up watching over half the episodes of this on Valentine's Day so...certainly thematically appropriate. XD I swear I didn't plan it out that way either, just kinda happened. And it took pretty much less than 3 days to speed-blitz past it too. I gotta say, first the early kiss and then the early naked together in bed this certainly made more progress much quicker than many other shoujo series I've watched....and then spent the rest of its time in a drama quagmire. Much more indicative of standard shoujo fare. XD Let's see....the only two characters besides our leads who really seemed particularly noteworthy were Yamamoto and Takeuchi. Maybe Nana's friends too but...eh. Yamamoto was just a bitch the whole time, never liked her. Takeuchi was awesome, often better than Yano. Kinda reminded me of Suwa from Orange only not as cool. I mean Suwa was better than literally every other character in Orange combined. XD The leads both had their flaws. Moreso Yano in the beginning and Nana in the end. On the whole I think Yano came off looking worse ultimately but eh, whatever. It was all more or less expected. All the drama anyway. We also had two Christmas episodes to add to my ever growing list, though I probably wouldn't ever wanna replay these. And that goes for this whole series actually it was...really just fine. I don't think I regret watching it but I'm good with leaving it alone now. 6 out of 10. EDIT: Oh yeah! I almost forgot, how bout those no eyes or one eye throughout the whole damn show huh? God that was odd. Was it a stylistic choice or budgetary? I'll guess the former but...really, odd. XD |

| Once again, this ending hit me like a ton of bricks. Especially knowing what happens next, it really makes this such an unbearable departure. I was completely wrong about what this conclusion represents and it really sinks in as I reread my post from years ago. I tried to pick up the manga back then, but couldn't bring myself to see this through to its conclusion. I think this time around, I was able to more deeply resonate with Yano. Maybe it's because I can relate to his flaws a bit more now, but I felt myself drawn to his side of the story far more. These last few episodes show how he's starting to think about the future - particularly his future with Nanami. It reminds me a bit of After Story and his desire to become a protector & provider is what really makes his journey to this point so profound. That and his smile. There's no hating him when he breaks that one out. Even though I brought a new perspective to this re-watch, my overall feelings towards Bokura ga Ita have remained the same. I still adore how this series explores a naive first love and transforms it into a life changing journey to the human heart. The title speaks volumes to that theme of memories and how, even if doesn't last forever, those moments they shared will exist for eternity. 10/10. I think I've found the courage to try the manga again and see this through to the end. |

| Wow this show is really good. I like the character development for all 3 MC. At times the characters are annoying especially Yano but I realized that if given the chance I would probably do the same choices he made. The soundtracks are quite catchy and fit the show very well. I sometimes find myself watching all 25 minutes listening through the ending song. I thought the pacing was slow at times but looking back it is perfect for a 26 episode series. 9/10 quite good. |
| Recommend me an anime |
| Yamamoto really needs to just move on. Seriously, stop chasing after him, it's pathetic, he doesn't want you. As for the show, had some good moments, but also some annoying and irritating ones. Just watched the characters repeat their same mistakes over and over and struggle to work out a solution for way too long. Would not have minded a 13 episodes series. The one eye thing was getting on my nerves as well. |
 "Life is not a game of luck. If you wanna win, work hard." |
| Quite a cliffhanger ending... I wonder if the manga ended at the same point. |
 |
| really loved this show but it tore me to pieces. but i appreciate the realism... it really did a good job of that. addressing difficult topics.... very well done. "sometimes the right thing to do isn't always the important thing to do." the growth of the characters. i couldn't help but sympathize with all of the characters. (EXCEPT for the Yamamoto's. ugh. really they were scum). and it was the right thing for Yano to do, to go with his mother. she's what the French call "les incompétents." if he were to have chosen Nanami over his mom, it would've led to him resenting her for the rest of his life. as for what happens afterwards...... i looked ahead a bit...... really upsetting. however...... i'm still going to read it. i'm too invested to stop now. and as long as no MC's die, I can deal. and i know Yano and Nana will be together in the end. how could they not be???? |
| An epic ending and one helluva cliffhanger. Not sure a second season would do this justice; it might be best to just leave it alone. |
| And this ends "drawn out to the max" the anime. I can't even recount how many times throughout the series they just stood there awkwardly staring at each other, talking or even thinking in trunctuated sentences and the same two or three songs playing in the background ad nauseam. And they were basically retreading the same misunderstandings and trust issues again and again throughout the whole thing. I couldn't even take Nanami serious anymore when she musters her resolve or vows to believe in their relationship and that she can work things out with Yano because of course she is going to insecure again - it's inevitable. Sorry, but somewhere along the lines it just got old. |
