Yume kara, Samenai · review
Very few people seem to have watched this anime. I had to watch it wthout subs because they did not seem available. Either way, this is not an outstanding show; it is pretty short and the story is fairly simple. On the positive side, we get to experience SHAFT before head-tilts and some pretty cheesy 1980s music. I honestly think the anime is too short ot merit a review, but I found it interesting enough to guide people to watch it. It's refreshing to see the changes in anime since the 1980s. Imagine being asked to smell coffee beans in a perfume shop to recalibrateyour nostrils to keep discerning between the floral scents the perfumery keeps thrusting at your face. This anime is the coffee beans in the analogy.
The characters were your average high-school girl and boy. There are rumours of the girl taking part in AVs however, which is sure to put a strain on any burgeoning relationship between the MCs. We also have the MCs generic best-friend and childhood friend who are hindrances to the blossoming love. Don't get me wrong, the characters are not interesting enough that we are actively rooting for the MCs to get together. We simply know that is the way the anime is supposed to proceed. It is not subtle in its approach at all.
The music I liked. As I said, cheesy 1980s music that had me cringing and then laughing along.
This anime is at best a 6. Nothing unusual, but it is worth watching simply because of how long ago it was made to see how far the anime industry has changed since then. That's why I watched it and I was not disapppointed.
