Review of Sing "Yesterday" for Me
This is an anime that I believe was limited because it was only 12 episodes. If it had even a few more it would have been really good. I haven't read it but I'm assuming the manga it was adapted from executed the story much better since the author could have paced certain events in a more structured manner. First off I want to acknowledge the other reviews stating that this is about adults who are complaining about things they shouldn't be. I have to disagree on that one. Subjective and objective view points can drastically change the way we perceive things. From the outside lookingin it may seem like the characters are making stupid decisions, but try to put yourself in their shoes. Then it doesn't seem so dumb the way they are acting. Emotions don't have logic or reason, they make you act certain ways that you wouldn't normally. I believe the mistakes the characters make, results in a more relatable anime, since life isn't linear and curveballs are thrown at us all the time. Thoughts linger, and before we know it we change our minds all the time.
The animation is delicate and in all honesty, the more neutral color tones add to the feeling of the anime. The character design (specifically for Haru) is really good in my opinion. Simple yet very recognizable.
The one thing that I dislike about this anime is the pacing. Like I said, if it had only a few more episodes to showcase more characters, it would have been incredible.
This really is a nice change of pace and gives similar vibes to re-life, (haven't seen it but I've seen many people recommending Welcome to the NHK as a similar anime).
Overall, definitely give it a few episodes and see if it catches your attention, I know it's not for everyone, but a 6.5 is really selling it short, at the least on MAL I think it should have a 7.2, but in my personal opinion it borders 7.8 - 8 in my book.
(OH AND P.S.)
There's no shot that "Love Is Hard For Otaku" should have a higher rating than this, that anime is stale af, this is eons better.
