Review of We Were There

Besides slice-of-life, I'm also into shoujo, so if there's no slice-of-life, shoujo anime will definitely be my second choice. Yeah and on some day (I cannot remember), while I was looking for some good animes (according to others' opinion), I caught a glimpse of this. After spending quite A LOT OF times watching, I finally came to the conclusion this one is totally a waste of time. To be honest, I don't really have a high requirement on the art and I even don't pay any attention to it as long as the plot is great, beacause the plot will make up for it, anyway. Hence,before watching this, I hoped that this anime would live up my expectation (as you can see the score is pretty high). But it seems like "the art makes up for the plot" is the truth. It was obviously a LET-DOWN.

Let me tell you something about the plot so that you van have a general look about this one. This anime, for me, is just like a typical shoujo anime: a normal, nothing out of ordinary high-school girl falls in love with a handsome, famous, ka-koi-i boy and the girl confesses her love and the boy's gradually into her and then the two falls for each other and then some unexpected troubles come and so on. You can get the picture somehow.

Well, as you can see there's nothing extraordinary about this so I consider this a normal and safe one. Personally this would be a nice one if the troubles between them weren't all craps. There are two problems that I want to talk about:

First is our first main character: Nanami Takahashi. Well I see her 100% normal and kinda disappointed because she's ..... so normal :(. Anyway I could ignore that. But but but, "What's happening with the voice actor"- that was what I was thinking when Nanami started to talk. I don't mean to be rude but her voice really DID annoy me, it made my skin crawl all the time. But that's not the only problem, unfortunately, she's the kind of girl that I hate most. She's so easy to cry and her tears weren't worth it at all (she needs to be stronger), she's arrogant because she always wants her boyfriend to treat her like a queen, she's a jealousy girl and doesn't have any empathy (why are you so mean, girl?) and she just acts like she's the only one who deserves to be loved.

Next is our second main character: Motoharu Yano. Well, he's hot so before dating Nanami, he was in a relationship with a girl,who is Yuri Yamato's big sister, Nana Yamato. Their relationship seemed quite nice (not until Nana died from a car accident), Yano truly loved this girl (I think this girl and Nanami should've been sisters because they're just the same kind of girl) and even though she was dead, he still had feeling for her and he confessed this on the beach, with Nanami (she was the one who told him to). Of course, after that they ALMOST broke up (but they didn't) because Yano'd tried to saved their relationship, which has been the biggest question for me up to now, WHY??? Didn't you say that you loved Nana??? OMG I cannot get this.

In this anime, I think I like the supporting more because they're the ones who really understand their feelings and act like adults. OP and END is normal, too, nothing special.

THANKS FOR READING :))))
