Review of We Were There
stupid girl gets obsessively infatuated and falls in love with an absolute controlling kinda-red-flaggy popular good-looking boy from her class with a quite traumatic past and the relationship that they try to grow rots and rots and rots because of mistrust, incredible possessiveness and jealousy, not being honest with each other (till the end) and above all, miscommunication. - the story REALLY tried hard to make it mature even though it had high-school characters - the characters did not leave any kind of lasting impact on me - Nanami (the female protag) gets insufferable and annoying pretty quickly - Yano (the male protag) is not someone you'dwant to date either (his best friend is far better-suited man for Nanami imo)
- relatability is nowhere present in the entirety of this 26-episode mammoth
- gets very irritating and tiring hella quckly (like after 10 eps)
- none of the dialogues in this anime leave any sort of impact/impression/depth that leaves you thinking (which I really try to find in romance/SoLs)
- the ending isn't even anything great and just makes you wish why did you waste your time watching this
Basically, the execution from the ground-up is just poor -- clearly I'm not an audience for this particular story/anime (even though I'm someone who loves watching SoLs). Moreover, the anime title doesn't even make sense even by the end of it and i'm just "???" with the whole thing.
I don't write reviews of anime but really, save your time, tears and emotions from watching this one...
