Review of We Were There

Oh my god! I felt like I was sitting in a bubble bath and watching this anime for the first few episodes. Okay some comments: Story [7/10]: Story is nothing special, typical of a shoujo anime or manga. So we have a girl and a guy falling for each other. Its the girl's first love and the guy's 2nd (?) .> The guys cant still forget about his ex-girlfriend and is stuck in the moment for past 2/3 years (?) The girl now is very very very hurt by all these things doing around her and so she decides to breakup. the guy comes chasingafter her. They get back together again then are again or the verge of breakup and so it continues in the story till its ep 23/24. Then is the climax were the girl will again shed litres of tears and say her goodbyes to the guy (And please dont ask why is that. You all know the answer already- EMOTIONAL PUNCH!!!). END OF STORY. Phew. Boy was I glad that it ended finally. To tell honestly people who have read many shoujo manga may get really bored watching this show. But if you are persistent enough give it a try.

Art [6/10]: Art is Okay I guess. But there have been many series with much better illustrations and background scenery even if they are just of the town places. The excessive bubbles in the first few episodes show to built up the "shoujo" mood was too much in my opinion. Animators could have done much better than this surely but oh well.

Sound [7/10]: OP and EDs were good, just not to my liking. Voice actor for the girl sounded highly nasal throughout (wonder about the reason -> maybe to show the naiivity ????) Other voice actors have done a decent job.

Character [8/10]: Reckless, naiive sometimes, trying to act like others and indulging in unnecessary adult stuff, etc.. all have been protrayed well via the characters. though I doubt I saw any development.

Enjoyment and overall [7/10]: Recommended for one time watch. Far from being special though to have for your collection.
