With You: Mitsumeteitai · review

With You: Mitsumeteitai is an odd, rather nondescript little OVA. It's a slice of life romance with supernatural elements. It's based on an H-game, but shies away from fanservice. It uses Myanmar as a narrative element and source of mystical objects, but only superficially. In short, it's unique, but not in a way that really helps it to stand out. Beginning with the story, it makes for a pretty classic, well-constructed visual novel storyline- in a group of childhood friends, one girl departs suddenly, leaving a boy with his unresolved feelings for her. Meanwhile, another girl develops feelings for himduring that time, and becomes the presumptive love interest, until the initial girl suddenly returns years later. To be honest, the whole thing with the supernatural jewelry feels like a weird, but not necessarily bad, inclusion. Translated into a 2 episode OVA, however, the pacing feels ponderously slow, with short bursts of rapid activity. In short, the adaptation process worked out somewhat awkwardly in this case, but it's otherwise serviceable, and there's not that much to say about it in general.

The art is this anime's strongest aspect, with indulgent use of color and characteristically 90s character design, though while it captures the style of the era it doesn't stand out on its own in any way other than the brief moments of visual representation it gives to Myanmar, which is an uncommon theme in general.

The sound is fine, meeting all basic standards of quality for the time.

The same goes for the characters, as while they're perfect for a visual novel setting, they come off a little flat in the anime, which is another problem which can simply be ascribed to an awkward adaptation process. Overall, With You: Mitsumeteitai is a passingly entertaining, somewhat unremarkable little OVA. Give it a watch if you're especially into video game adaptions, or seek out southeast Asian elements in anime as a particular interest.
