Review of We Were There
The story itself was moving and amazing. There was a lot of drama in it but the humor in the story helped when the mood got to dark every once in awhle. It wasn't perfect though. The humor helped, but when I got near the end I had to put the anime to the side for a week because I couldn't take the drama anymore. Partly my fault because I was watching the whole thing all at once I guess. The anime was good but if you're looking for something to make you crack up this isn't it. If you want something thats going tomake you cry at times then this is the way to go.
The art wasn't anything to be shocked about. I thought it needed a little work. The art wasn't bad, but the faces were missing sometimes. In the beginning I respected that because I thought it made you more aware of what the characters were feeling through facial expressions, but in the end it was done to such an extent that I just think that it was a short cut. Half of the time the characters only had one eye and sometimes they just didn't have eyes. I think that it was a good idea at one point, but it was done way to often.
The sound was average. They're really isn't anything to say about the sound. I could hear what was going on and it was clear. Good enough for me.
The characters were well rounded. Maybe I didn't always like what the main characters were doing or thinking, but no one is perfect and the fact that they were flawed made them outstanding.
The enjoyment was pretty good. Sometimes I got depressed or annoyed with what was going on but that's a good thing and a bad thing. My feeling something for the anime meant that I was really into the plot and cared about the characters, but I wasn't always enjoying myself. I got a little fed up in the end. I came back and watched the rest but the drama was a little bit much sometimes and I had to take a breather.
Overall, this isn't something that I'm going to forget any time soon. It was an amazing story and I'm glad that I stuck to it and finished it in the end. It was worth the time and I would recommend it to anyone who's looking to watch a good romance. It may not always leave you smiling but it's a moving story and enjoyable to watch.
