The animation bothers me a bit too, but I think it's only Yano's animation that does. I think everyone else's is fine, different than what I'm used to though. The show seems to be okay though, I'll stick around and continue. I had a feeling that, there was a whole other deep story with the dead older sister and Yano, the fact that [quite girl's name, ;__;] hates him might indicate something even, deeper.

Gahhh, I hope he didn't kill her either ~ ! Sheesh.

( ... if you're not sure about watching this ... then do atleast watch it until episode 4 ... Do it! You'll understand why when you get there! (: )

nah, i'd say it looks more like lovely complex tbh ;)

... didn't know what to think of the style at first sight ... but after a couple of episodes I started to like it more and more, since it sort'a fits with this kind of anime :)

This anime isn't that bad the animation's pretty good it's at least different from the regularanime which gives it a fresh look :)
Story is pretty interesting looking forward to the next episode and finally
an anime where there is not much screaming or loud voices I was going deaf for a while

Though animation is very good, my fave scenes has been taken away. -_-' It's normal for an adaptation, but I guess I had high expectations. lol Ok, whatever, I'll just continue for now.

I realize I'm about 3 years late to this party, but now that I've finally picked it up, holy crap a lot happened in that first episode! I think the events of nearly the entire show summary happened in about 2 minutes! Character and school introductions, entirety of a school trip complete with Yamamoto crisis, and the epilogue reveal that it was Yano's girlfriend. And this show is 26 episodes? Damn, I don't know if I've ever seen pacing like this!

Not saying it's a bad thing. People pretty much swear that I'll love this show, and I did enjoy the characters quite a bit. Now I just need the rest of the series to download faster...

Wow, I was kinda overwhelming if you ask me. Everything happened so quickly and Yano’s girlfriend’s incident got revealed without much preamble… It seems pretty straightforward, to say the least.

I’m not too fond of the character design… It’s different but I can’t seem to like it… I’ll get used to it the more I watch, I think.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

The art style is a real turn off. It feels like it can't convey as many emotions as any other anime could. Their way of talking is also a bit dull. Kind of annoying.
Well, I hope it will get better later. I heard a lot of good things about this anime, so I'm interested.
I also hope that this won't have a love triangle. But I have a feeling it will be unavoidable, huh?

Great start, great voice, I notice nana has misaka sister's voice from index/railgun and i loved it. Bad art though as many have mentioned.

a romance genre without love triangles involved at all you are hoping for? I think that's almost impossible.

well I wasn't expecting this poor animation, but I got used to it quickly. So really it doesn't matter for a slow pace slice of life shoujo anime.

Anyways wow it got deep right away. I wonder what secrets Yano and Yamamoto are both keeping.

But let's continue le watch. :D

i got to say i didn't know what to expect from this show but from what i have seen now seems pretty good.

well its a bit of weird animation and it is really different then i used to but that what makes it unique for me its also very easy on the eye but also makes it feel a bit childish in some way. i as well thought it was going really fast and just hope if they decide to make it fast they can keep up with that cause they got 25 episodes to go.

Hallelujah, I've found another show that I tried a couple of years ago and completely lost track of. Back then I would have called this a snorefest but I really enjoyed this first episode. The dialogue is kind of ultra hyper fast though but otherwise I'm enjoying the fluffy shoujo feeling that's emanating from this. I like the art style because it's simple but very light and captures the girly vibes that go with this.

I can't really tell what I think about this anime. I'll watch couple more episodes and then decide if I'll continue.

There was indeed lot of things that happened and I don't know... Maybe little too much actually. But even though a lot happened, everything in the episode was so slow.

The art style didn't bother me much but somehow I can't stand the voice of Nanami. It irritates me very much - so much that this 20 minute was almost torture. I don't know if I'll get used to it or not. That will probably terminate if I'll finish this one or not.

I read the manga like...6 or 7 years ago, and I'm just now watching the series. If I remember correctly, it picks up and it's pretty good, but this seems to be the first romance shoujo I've really watched I think, besides Ouran HSHC and Vampire Knight...=3

Ever since I started reading the manga, which I finished most of but then I couldn't find the rest of the books and had to stop (before I knew there's manga online...), I've been telling myself I'd go back and either finish the manga or watch the anime. I finally got around to starting! I'm not usually into this sort of anime, but I'll give it a try. I wonder how different it is from the manga...

There is something that really annoyed me in that episode. The voice actinc feel so... off. It feel like they are talking far away from the mic, and like they are just reading the script. Maybe it's supposed to feel emotionless like that, but I honestly never saw subs that were going on so fast. Like if every lines was rushed.

Anyway, it sure didn't took long for the girl to fall in love. Half an episode, going from ''that asshole'' to ''oups, here goes my panties''.

She has talked to him like a couple of times and has already fallen in love with him? I would have preferred if they'd waited at least ONE episode, maybe even at the end of this episode, after she learns about his backstory. It's one thing to have a crush, but making her actually "fall in love" even before the first half just feels forced and superficial.

But besides that, this wasn't bad at all. I especially like the voice acting for Takahashi. She sounds really natural, and the best part is, her VA managed to make her sound cute without putting on an "anime voice".

Truly a good first episode, I'm hooked!

Both Yano's and Nana's personalities are interesting. Yano is very straight forward, direct, overall I think he's a very likable character. Nana's just cute honestly, even though she seems inexperienced. The plot twist at the end was sad, but somewhat predictable, I just knew that she was Yano's girlfriend.

"We Were There" is an anime that had so much potential but ultimately fell flat in my book. I had high hopes for a compelling romance story, but it left me feeling unsatisfied and frustrated.
