Review of We Were There
I actually wanted to give this anime a complete 10, just because of the feelings i have for this anime series now, in my heart i already gave it a 10, and that's all i need, and here is why i like this anime so much now: Story: 10/10 First of all I have to say that this is a bit of a cliche story, but it's hard to find a drama/romance anime that isn't about love, breaking up, sadness and happiness, so i can't judge the story for that. In this story is so much there, so many things you can see, so many things you canfeel and so many things you can learn. Some people will say that this anime is kinda boring, or had some annoying parts, or they will say that the love story was stupid and annoying, but I think that's because many people were watching this from the wrong perspective. You have to put yourself into the story, try to see the things that happened like it happened to you, and then you will understand it. After that you will realize how much this anime gives to you, so much you can learn.
There aren't many things in life that can teach you, but this is surely something that can teach you of some things, how to act to others, how to care about others, how to feel, how to think about some things,not to judge everyone on a instant, about memories that never really fade away and many many other things even I maybe didn't realized, but there is surely so much here to see and I wish many people will see that like i did, because then they will really learn much about HOW TO LIVE, just like i have, just by watching this Anime.
Characters: 9/10
God damn it. This anime is showing people like they really are, not just some random perfect ones, because no one is perfect, but they show people how they can be different, how they can think different and how they can easily misunderstand each other, just like it really is, just the TRUTH.
So many emotional characters, wise ones, the ones that are closed to everyone, the ones that have an open heart and also the ones who don't really want to get hurt, but want someone to take care of them.
All these characters together made an atmosphere which made this anime and its story so damn good.
Animation: 8/10
I really got used to this animation, even if I had some problems with it at the beginning.
I loved the colors and the warm and beautiful drawings of the characters, where you can see how they really feel. The moments when you can see only "one eye" of the character, you can tell how they really feel, on a instant, and i think that's a great job they made, I mean i can tell how someone feels or thinks just by looking at the face, and you have to think that this is sometimes really hard in real life, so it is even harder in a animated version.
Music: 9/10
The beautiful, peaceful, quite music in this anime made my heart so soft, it always made a really great atmosphere that makes you want to cry. A really beautiful opening also, that shows that there is happiness in this anime too, and a really beautiful ending theme that also goes as the background music and fits perfectly to the moments in the anime.
Just beautiful.
Closing words:
All i have to say is, THANK YOU Bokura ga Ita, thank you for teaching me so many things, and thank you for all these emotions i felt while watching you.
Thank you for everything...
