Review of We Were There

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 relationship complications made it enjoyable. However, towards the end of the anime I was getting ready to rip my hair out at the constant soap-opera feel to the entire show. Not only this, but the ending was extremely dissatisfying to me (which led me to pick itup with the manga).

I guess another disappointment of the show was the fact that the ultimate ending of the show was highly predictable. I will have to say that many scenes and problems took me completely off guard, but the ending was going to be the same either way.

Overall the art was good, but the animation in places was a bit off to me. Especially when a character was to turn sideways, it jut kind of creeped me out. That might be an art preference on my own, but it still plays a factor in the animation effect to me.

I would recommend watching it as a good frustration romance manga, but as far as fantastic? Not quite.
