Review of Sing "Yesterday" for Me

Yesterday....... All my troubles seemed So far away... Now it looks as through They're here to stay Oh I believe in yesterday..... Ok, so the series' title was "Yesterday wo Utatte" or Sing "yesterday" For me, funny that this anime so much so has that thing about , Paul McCartney's song 'Yesderday" , cu'z , if one was to observe this seires as a whole everything has something to do as to how the past affected the character's in this anime , so basically it wasn't much of a surprise that this series' genre was about coming of age cu'z as the anime progresses we see as to how thecharacters develop. Somehow, we can say that original creator, Kei Toume, may have has use his inspiration from the said song 'Yesterday" to make a manga outta it.... TBh, I really don't know if any of the reviewer even notices as to how the song itself influence the series' story plot, so , here were my ratings:

Story- Very Good 8; Ok, a lotta people says that it was "TOO RUSHED" , IMAO, I just don't see it that way, in fact limiting it to just 12 episode is "A" OK since having to go through an entire 18 episode as previously thought it would have been very boring, so about the story, Ok, so it was a coming of age kind of series were we see tow romance that involves younger person to older partner kind of relationship and complexities that goes on with it, if weren't for that then this series wouldn't that entertaining anymore , right?

Art-Good 7: When a lotta reviewers gave this a low score, I wonder if they're expecting a Haru and Shinako fanservces ???? Wlep , I glad that it broke they're expectation , cu'z this anime was just too good to have those kinds of erotic shenanigans.

Sound- fair 6: No comment around here, cu'z I jsut don't give a damn as to who did who....

Character- Poor 3: Ok, this was one part where I agree with a lot of you when it comes to the characters give that two of them were a dichotomy so lets go with each of them:

The dichotomies

Rikuo Uozumi- There is one commentator in the form where he refers to him as a "dickwand" , well, he or she go that right cu'z at one point he likes shinako, but doesn't make an effort to make her love him, he also doesn't make any move to fight for her given that he lets Rou piss on him, also he doesn't like Haru but doesn't make an effort to keep her away. Now , if we're gonna go with that song "yesterday" there is lyric there that defines him and it goes like this:

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed
So far away
Now it looks as through
They're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday.

Now if you notice in the first few parts of the anime, he started out as this freeter to doesn't have any direction in life after college so he decides to work in a convince store...

Shinako Morinome- Many would basically associated her as a two timing bitch that can't seem to let go of her love for Rou's older decease brother, just like Rikou, she likes him at one point , but on the next she also likes Rou not because she really loves her but rather sees her as Yu's replacement , now it was ironic that Rou's father never makes any effort of telling her to forget about them to move on with her life, TBH, if were Rou's father I would have to ask her to why does she have to keep vising them and help out , whether she gives an honest answer or not I'll beg her to not come in anymore and just go and never look back cu'z Yu ( Rou's older decease bother) is not coming back. what makes her very much annoying was how much she has to lie to not only herself but to both of the men in her life.....In the son "yesterday' there the part that fits her.....

Suddenly
I'm not half the woman
I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why he had to go
I don't know
he wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Ok, so I made some tweaks in it, but given that she's a woman it basically fit her character, since it was about Yu the love of her life who suddenly has to go....to the afterlife, Now Yu, was the shadow that hangs with her, so much so that she still helps out with Yu's family despite of Yu's dead , the wouldn't say part there was Yu's death. Also for her to say something wrong was just a metaphor where she thinks it all gonna be ok and Yu will get well soon for her to go away for college and to come back was her being unable to let go....

The sure ones:

Haru Nonaka-basically she can be mistaken as a Ho, for being this carnivore who from otta nowhere decide to go for Rikou, a High school dropped out who was once a dork, suddenly becomes this emancipated rebellious hot teenager for reasons either she can't stand her parent divorcing or can't stand the bullying ( if she was being bullied ) , has decide to work at a coffee shop called Milk Hall. Ok, we all went for that Shinako X Rrikou romance but alas, Rikou just went back for her. given that she can be mistaken for a Ho , actually she is just a very dedicated girl who know what she wants and has a go for it attitude and yes she like Rikou upon meeting him for the frist time when she was a dorkster while still studying in High School, if one was to look at her from the song "yesterday" this would be it:

Yesterday...... love was such
An easy game to play
Now I need place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday....

Cu'z that her character as if she was playing a game to get to the guy she wants, the place thst she need to hide away was simply just her running away from home and being an independent girl who wants to live her own life, she believes in "yesterday" cu'z Rikou is her "yesterday" that she hope to be with in which she got it.

Rō Hayakawa- Whether yu agree with me or not, Shinako sees him as Yu's replacement, despite of his annoyance as to how Shinako sees him , he somehow accepts it with a pinch of salt . But there was a point where he too doubts if Shinako truly loves him cu'z his character represent the part of the song "yesterday" where it goes like this:

Why....she have to go
I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday, hey hey hey
Yesterday.... love was such
An easy game to play
Now I need place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday

That part of the song reflect when Yu died Shinako stayed for a while but had left for college, Rou first thought that his behaviors back them may hav had Shinako to leave , but that's not the case , cu'z he longs for the time when Yu was still with alive where the house was alive and the joy that he has with his brother before passing away.... When he got to know about Shinako getting along with Rikou, he felt a level of jealousy where he thinks that Shinako was playing him for Rikou , the part of the song where he needs to find a place to hide away was him seeing Shinkao getting cozy with Rikou.... the last part was from the manga where he went to France and Shinako waits for his return.

Enjoyment- Good 7: It was enjoyable watching it where it doesn't feel like a chore, but I can deny my disgust to the two characters Rikou and Shinako, cu'z one was a dickwand while the other was an indecisive weak bitch.....

Overall- Very Good 8: The score was for the clean ending, so don't expect a season 2, ever, cu'z this was very good as it is
