This episode was pretty awesome in the sense that it covered a lot of character ground and pushed the relationships forward a bit, rolling in two major side character, Takaeuchi and Yamamoto (hope i got their spellings right). Anyway, to follow the episode in a chronological order, we start off with some heavy skinship between Yano [...]

Realism at its peak! Nana couldn’t sleep the entire night because of the kiss, and it hence extremely tired - the next day she’s practically a walking zombie, and is all nervous in front of Yano. Yano plays it cool though, its just like nothing happened. Which worries her. She’s not the only one worried though. [...]

Nanami is completely oblivious to this and before [...]

This episode was very well done in my opinon. It delved deeper into Yano’s relationship with Yamamoto, and at the same time it detailed the rocky progression of Yano and Nana’s relationship. The actual date of the play is closing, and everyone is busy making preparations. Yano is bustling around more than usual, but still maintains [...]

Episode Two 第2話 Nanami doesn’t waste any time with confession, does she?

Protagonist confesses to elusive Supporting Character. Supporting Character produces vague, elusive response. Elusivity [...]

Recently began this show out of a simple interest in this type of story line. I find that lately, I’ve been watching more and more shoujo style anime, this really doesn’t perplex me that much since the story lines seem to be what I’m looking for, at least for now. Bokura ga Ita is a [...]

Oh, the angst! Bokura ga Ita is turning out to become a very decent anime indeed, with character complexities and overall depth in terms of the show. Definitely not homo, or gay, or soap opera-ish. Its the summer break and Yano hasn’t been turning up for play rehersals. Nana is pretty lovesick at being unable to [...]

Nana tries to avoid getting as wound up as the other girls over looking at Yano’s old girlfriend’s picture in the yearbook, but ends up blurting out a love confession that gets a rather blase response from Yano. OVer the course of the rest of the episode, everything goes up and down and all [...]

We start off Nanami entering the room and overhearing gossips from some of her fellow classmates. As we all learnt from the first [...]

It seems that humour picked up from first episode and main couple is also more likeable now. I ranted about lack of quality in visuals before so that's enough for now, but as I'm begin to like characters more animation also bothers me more. This could be so much better, it feels like wasting lot of potential. I really hope rest of the series isn't like this. The music however, I really liked

Bokura ga Ita is an anime that's been compared to Honey & Clover in style. With this information, I had deemed it a must watch! But can any anime really stand up to the awesomeness that is Hachikuro?

OP - Kimi Dake wo… (Mi) - I really don’t like this very much; the song doesn’t feel very appropriate, and the animation’s not that good. I was hoping for something a bit more subdued and bittersweet, I guess; something like For Fruits Basket maybe. ED - Aishiteru (Mi) - obviously the B-side for Kimi [...]

There isn't lot of new shoujo coming right now and Bokura ga ita is one of few titles that belong to those so I felt kind of obligated to watch first episode. Animation and character design is probably most discussed topic about this anime. And unfortunately thing for me that prevent fully enjoying Bokura ga ita. My main complain isn't really main characters since they get the focus and are

Meh… ArtLand did a good job on animation. Actually better than manga drawing (well…manga drawing sucks ass…so I can’t possibly think it can be any worse ^^;;) If you liked the manga, chances are that you will like this too. For me, I hated Yano and Nanami was just so-so… Its hard to like a series [...]
