I haven't wrote a review before so this review is going to be brief and opinion-based (if you don't like it, suck it!). Also there might be SPOILERS.

First of all, I thought the art was pretty good, I've seen many animes before and the style of the anime works well and compliments the story.

Overall, the sound was good. Only complaint (without being nit-picking) is the voice for Aoi-chan. She's a caring and one-year older than the main character, but has a voice of a hyper-active five-year-old. However, her voice does provide some comfort in intense situations.

Moving on to characters, other than Aoi-chan who seems little ... out of place sometimes, everyone else is well developed. Each character's past and their present self make sense. And their reaction to every situation seems right. Because the characters are so well developed it makes the watcher actually care what happens to the characters, when something sad happens the viewer (or a least me) want to enter the anime and provide relief to the characters.

Perhaps the most important part of all animes, the story. I thought that the speed of the anime was little unexpected. The first few episodes are quite steady and it seems that all of the problems are getting solved and it will be a happily-ever after story. However after passing the half point, it seems that problems are just jumping onto every character until they finally break, running away or committing suicide. (SPOILER) I was heart-broken when problems kept stacking up on Shuu and Shuri, because at the beginning of the anime, it seems that they are unbreakable and they will get through anything, and after they run away from home, the story is extremely depressing until the end. During the depressing phase, the anime does provide you with some relief, but it just seems that it only does that only to raise hopes of the viewer only to later crush till there's nothing left. Of course at the last episode most of the big problems are solved and the characters live happily-ever-after. Yet, I was not satisfied, nearly the end of the last episode the anime skips to ten years later where there's a open-air concert (or something like that) and give a hint that Shuu and Shuri return. I was really hoping that they will meet their friends, but they didn't. I wasn't so happy about this because it didn't really seem like a happy ending.

So, overall, Myself; Yourself is a great anime and everyone should check it out. Even though there are some flaws, they are so minor that it shouldn't affect the anime too much.

I realize that this isn't the best review and I thank you for baring with me. Also, if you did bare with it and read it through top to bottom, I feel sorry for you.
