Sing "Yesterday" for Me

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.

Rikuo has recently graduated from college but has no ambition to do anything with his life; he has a job at a convenience store. Things are about to get interesting for him as he meets Haru, a somewhat eccentric girl who is frequently accompanied by her pet crow; and Shinako, an old college friend who is now a teacher. Things are further complicated for Shinako as her late boyfriend's younger brother clearly has feelings for her.

This is a fairly gentle anime series with realistic characters leading ordinary lives; there is no major drama, no fan service and it isn't a comedy... that may make some people think it must be boring but I'd 'disagree; I enjoyed the pace and found the realistic characters fun to watch. The animation is good and the character designs and backgrounds fit the realistic feel of the series. It won't be for everybody but I'd certainly recommend this to anime fans looking for something different.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

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 just wanna say that do watch till the end and I promise you won't regret doing so! But you will feel like flipping a table...yeah that's how crazy some characters drive you sometimes. Nevertheless give it a try you will love it! ☺

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.
