Bokura ga Ita stands as one of the greatest romantic stories ever told, delivering overflowing emotions through realistic portrayals of young love that create an immediate connection with relatable characters on an emotional roller-coaster ride. While the intense realism can occasionally feel ove...

The show started with cute expectations but quickly devolved into problematic territory, with excessive flashbacks of Nana-san's face and poor handling of serious themes like abuse and transgender representation. Yano's narcissistic behavior, Yuri's stalker-like persistence, and a particularly di...

This anime provoked intense frustration and anger throughout the viewing experience. The main characters are ridiculous and annoying, making the entire series difficult to enjoy. Despite managing to finish it, I cannot recommend this as a quality anime. The most memorable aspect is how strongly i...

Bokura ga Ita delivers an emotionally powerful experience that feels like "a train wreck of emotions" while watching characters overcome life's hardships through realistic love that includes pain alongside romance. The characters show genuine growth through their mistakes, with Yano proving there...

This romantic comedy delivers an emotional rollercoaster that had me binge-watching 20 episodes in one day, with fantastic characters and an opening theme that instantly makes me smile. While the ending felt a bit weird and there are minor issues I can't quite recall, neither the art nor music dr...

The unique art style immediately caught my attention as something I had never seen before, and despite initial reservations about the simple backgrounds, this artistic choice ultimately enhanced the character focus in unexpected ways. While I typically avoid romance slice-of-life anime and found ...

The only redeeming qualities are the supporting characters who actually act like adults and understand their feelings. This anime is a complete let-down with a painfully typical shoujo plot, an extremely annoying main heroine who cries constantly and lacks empathy, and a male lead whose motivatio...

*Review contains spoilers* Story 6/10 So, up until episode 15-16, this anime was really entertaining. The story between main characters developed way too fast and often made me think "this is going to well to last or be true"... Yes, it is also a bit cliche with shy girl falling for the popular k...

I probably just expected too much from this anime or was merely looking for something enjoyable to watch over the spring break; either way, I was disappointed. It was a total waste of time. First of all, the story was hardly exceptional and very predictable. Also, the way Takahashi speaks was int...

If you want to dive into this anime, be prepared to flip a table. I am a person who quite enjoys romance and such, but this anime made me so frustrated I had to take breaks from watching it time to time. Not all of it was bad frustration, using a pretty well thought out character backstory and re...

At first you would think this was a typical sweet high school love drama but it has a strong touch of the genre “Slice of life” that gave more of the realistic side of love life which was interesting enough if you’re bored with the typical love story. After all, life is not a fairy tale. It is mo...

I feel compelled to write my first review because of the high score (imo) I gave the anime. Especially since it contains many aspects that I don't generally enjoy when I watch anime. STORY: 7/10 -not a summary but a reflection - First and foremost this anime was so MESSSYY - one issue after anoth...

This romance anime surpasses many in the shoujo genre in terms of its fairly accurate reflection of real relationships, however there are certain elements that prevent it from comparing with others of the same depth such as honey and clover. I ended up having a very love/hate relationship with th...

I really liked Bokura Ga Ita, because it had such creative story and the way they planned the story out I really liked it ... Story - I really liked the story of this anime because it had comedy and romance in it but it had so much drama in there that I did not know what to do if I should smile o...

This love/romance anime is an absolute masterpiece that delivers an unforgettable emotional roller-coaster, making me laugh and cry repeatedly until it shook me to tears. It’s the show that turned me onto the entire genre and remains my favorite anime of all time—so have those tissues ready. With...

This is one of the best anime ever watched, leaving me unable to stop crying at the ending with tears streaming even when I thought I was done. While the art style seemed off-putting at first glance, it quickly becomes irrelevant. Every romantic girl should watch this—believe me, it’s worth it. T...

Bokura ga ita is a romance, drama, slice of life anime series. A very touching story of first love, lost love, and family tragedy. Though others may find its drama boring or dragging, I love the drama of this anime series. It made me want to watch for more. I am looking forward for a second seaso...

This romance anime fails to deliver any meaningful emotional impact or relatable characters, instead presenting an insufferable female protagonist and a controlling male lead whose toxic relationship deteriorates rapidly due to mistrust and miscommunication. The poor execution becomes unbearably ...

Bokura ga Ita was a true love story full of hardships that an average relationship has. When you watch the first episodes you think of it as an average anime, but after a few more, it make you realize the truth about love. This is the first anime that truly made me cry, because the situations the...

Apparently, a lot of people don't understand what they're watching/reading. It's not a girl trying to save the boy from his painful past. Whoever wrote this definitely didn't understand the story. Bokura ga ita (the manga but especially the anime) is without a doubt the most emotionally intense r...
