Review of We Were There

''They say that a memory.. is something you reconstruct depending on small fragments of recollections in your mind. They say that remembering is the same as seeing an illusion. What is existence? What if.. we had stopped there, or if we'd turned the corner... What if we hadn't stumbled over pebbles, or ever gotten lost, what if we'd never stopped.. What if back then.. what if.. what if.. Innumberable small choices led me onto the road I'm on now. When I was right, and when I was wrong. I was always me. You, him, anyone, everyone.. we're all right now. It's alright now. The sadtimes, the happy times, all of them are precious memories. So I pray.. please, let these forever be precious memories.. for you as well.''
Bokura ga ita is a story that makes you happy, sad, etc. It's a train wreck of emotions as you watch the characters overcome life's hardships. Which is what makes it so amazing.
The characters are lovable depending on how you view them. Personally, I liked Yano and Nanami. A lot of people think that Nanami is a sensitive crybaby but it really isn't that way lol. I never once hated Yano. I felt as if there was a reason behind all the sides he shows. He definitely proved that. Although I sometimes got frustrated at their actions, I kept reading. The characters were growing and learning, I didn't expect them to not make any mistakes. Because that's what their love story is. It portrays real ones. It shows that it isn't all about the romantic shit but that love also brings pain. I suggest reading the manga instead of watching the anime, since the anime isn't that good.
