Myself; Yourself is the prime example of wasted potential. It opened strong and gave me high hopes for a good series, but it soon became apparent that it was going to go down fast.

The story was my biggest disappointment. It really felt like a series based on a visual novel, there was a lot of story, but nothing to really hold it together. The pacing of the series felt sluggish, a lot of the conflicts could have been resolved faster. It felt as though half of the series was dedicated to Hinako, the little girl, even though she had nothing to do ... with the main plot of the series. Another thing that i found troublesome was how melodramatic the story became. By the end I couldn't bother to take anything seriously anymore.

The characters, while mostly falling into cliches, did have some interesting points, the twins especially. Everyone fit in, and felt believable, despite their obvious repetitions, but Aoi's voice really got on my nerves.

The art and animation was bad. Not as bad as something like Ramune, but really lacking in polish. There's not really much more I can say about it, other than it was kind of blah.

The music and sound was fairly decent. Despite the stories faults, the music would fit in with what was going on, but it never really moved me, or made me want to just listen to it.

I guess by now you could guess that I didn't really enjoy this series. While it started strong, it quickly fell, and never recovered.
