Yesterday wo Utatte

I honestly thought I could hold in these love triangles any longer. However I'm just giving this up after watching 7 episodes, I just couldn't continue it with its annoying pointless drama. I really thought this series was going to be good with Rikuo and Haru getting together but it's just yeah, turns out it wasn't for me bro!

If you enjoy love triangles, here's one to binge while in quarantine!

Sing Yesterday for me is propably one of the most relatable series for anyone who struggles with moving forward or feels stuck with his life. Whether you lost someone you loved, or you face unrequited feelings towards a special one the struggle is there. It weighs you down leaving you with the feeling that you are not quite living your life, but more like that you are putting certain things on hold.

It deals with many difficult topics. When is the right time to move on from something? How long you must fight for someone even though they don't feel the same way about you? Are you shuting new people off by staying stuck in the memories of the past? Is timing crucial to certain emotions?

Give the series a chance if you feel you relate with any of these situations.

It won't let you down i promise!

"Sing Yesterday for me" 9/10.

First anime in a long time where I felt like the ending was fair without being cheesy or predictable. The ending wasn't rushed as some would say, it was in fact very well paced, and there were a lot of twists in the middle.

Clearly not an anime for everyone, and I personally enjoyed it very much.

For a new series that did so well, I gladly give it a solid 10.

Drama for the sake of having drama, no real culmination of events leading up to it. Every new complication they added was more pointless than the last one; I know this is supposed to be a cute little series, but it still could've been thought out more. The last episode is incredibly rushed and gives little to no explanation to the behviour of main characters. All in all, it was an okay watch, entertaining but no real grip to it and disappointing in the end. I wouldn't not recommend watching it, I'd just recommend watching it with no expectations of it being great, just something cutsie to pass the time.

I rarely do watch seasonal anime, but for once in my life, since I have all this free time during quarantine, I decided to try watching some anime that aired this season. One of those anime series is Yesterday wo Utatte (Sing "Yesterday" for Me).

It's refreshing for me to watch a show that focuses more on human drama, or drama in general, one of my favorite genres. The first couple of episodes were particularly noteworthy, mostly because of the protagonist who I somehow empathize with despite me still being a student. The plot was interesting and I wondered how a Seinen type of anime would handle it. The way the characters of this world were introduced was great. I kind of like the rough-ish art style and the soundtrack was good. I also appreciate the show's quiet, minimalist approach when characters are talking with each other as to give emphasis on what they are saying.

Speaking of characters, I thought they were quite good. That is, until we reached the last couple of episodes. When I found out that this show only has 12 instead of 18, I thought to myself: "How will this show end?" I had no idea how the anime will have a good conclusion to a plot that takes it time to build up. There were some good dramatic interactions and some bad interactions with the main cast as the show comes to an end. What I thought was a good show that tackles relationships between friends and lovers, ended with a sudden conclusion that would have paid off were it not for the fact that it felt rushed and could have been better if it had more episodes to develop the plot and the characters more. Seeing the extras did lighten me up about the show a little bit.

I may read the manga soon, since I have heard that the ending is different. However, at the end of the day, what started as a great show, turned out to be kind of rushed in the end.

6.5/10
