Review of Sing "Yesterday" for Me

Okay. I am no professional critic or someone who has a large catalog underneath their belt. Although, I still feel the need to write this review. "Sing Yesterday For Me" came at an interesting time in my life. It started airing during the last few months of high school. I was wrapping up my time despite the quarantine. This show made me really reflect on the past four years of high school and think of my future in college and beyond. The main character, Rikuo, isn't anyone spectacular. He's a more realistic character going through life at his part time job. Its his growth throughthe story of progressing himself forward. This might've directly influenced me to start growing myself as a person as well. As a result, the last few months have had their learning curve and led to some growth as a person.

Importantly, the story made me think about my time after college the most. Who will I be? How will I look back upon now in 4 years? Will I reflect similarly to how Rikuo does? Could I be taking it slow after college or rush myself out there for a career?

In my opinion, both the premise and art style was refreshing among other titles this season. It certainly is a story stuck in the past, but can break past that barrier to deliver a compelling story. The 1990s were 20-30 years ago. (Depending on the year you refer to) Yet, I can't describe my exact feelings towards the story. However, I can express my overall experience.

I enjoyed each character. They didn't feel terrible, or absurd. They were just people. Each growing in their own ways along the progressing passage of time. I don't really have much else to say besides that. This wasn't in my top favorite anime, but it is up there. The lasting impression is there and will be looking forward to rewatching this series 4 years from now.

Thank you for reading this review, I bet its kinda formatted weirdly and all over the place.
