Review of Sing "Yesterday" for Me

I was really excited for this anime going in. With the hook of a college graduate struggling to make it through post-grad job hunting, finding his own passion, and finding love, I had high hopes. I also love the aesthetic. The art style is great and the music can get me emotional all by itself. If I just listened to the music and watched clips of the anime w/o subs (I don't speak Japanese), that would've literally been a better experience than watching it for the plot. The plot is trash. You have adults unwilling to make meaningful romanticdecisions for themselves despite being constantly told they're doing everything wrong, you have little brother/student figures going after older sister/teacher figures and practically WINNING, which feels super out of place in what originally seemed like an anime grounded in real life as opposed to anime memes (think, Domestic na Kanojo lmao), and you have one of the worst and contrived pay-offs you can ask for by the end. I mean, best girl wins, I guess, but we as an audience don't really get a sense as to WHY.

Also why tFUCK does Sou wear a PAPER CLIP as an EARRING.

the only reason this is a 6 is because of the aesthetic. Don't watch this anime, maybe just watch music video to the theme song.
