Review of Sing "Yesterday" for Me
Rikuo Uozomi is working a dead end job and basically meandering through life. He meet Nonoka Haru who has always had a crush on him and is hoping to take things further. To complicate matters more, his college crush Shinako comes on the scene. All three have difficult pasts that they are trying to move on from and through their interactions slowly start to figure things out. I really like Seinen shows because of the mature themes. They are typically slower paced, but I appreciate the subtlety of the characters, themes, and interactions. I liked the honesty with which they dealt with the themes of movingon, unrequited love, and grief.
For long stretches it felt like nothing was happening, but these characters were growing, learning, and trying to put one foot in front of the other and this was impressive. Also, I liked Rikuo as he displayed some tendencies I recognize in myself
I thoroughly enjoyed this show, but I must say, I didn't really like the end as it felt a little rushed. This isn't a show for everyone and only the most ardent of slice of life might appreciate it. That said, it was a pretty decent show
