Bokura Ga Ita is a series with a simple plot. However, it’s simplicity is what makes it so attractive. It got me hooked immediately with the slightest essences of fate and love and obvious heartbreak that is shown in the first few minutes of the series.

It is about the relationship of Yano and Takahashi, the two main characters, and that may sound a little plain and possibly predictable. But the characters are so loveable that you can’t help but get even a little attached and that alone will blind you from any predictability in the series. It is relatable to everyone who has been in or out of love and this series almost perfectly depicts how astounding first love can really be. And that’s my favourite part of the series: how amazing the love was between the two characters. The series also adds some mysterious elements to it as Takahashi tries to dig up Yano’s past. (So their relationship isn't all sunshine and daisies because Yano's past wasn't either.)

The only downside to this may be the art. I find that the art isn’t as colourful or detailed as something as Clannad, for example. There are some funny times when the characters have only one eye. =P

I love the music in the series and it was nice how they inserted music over certain moments in every episode. It really helped to emphasize the meaningfulness.

Overall, I feel that it is an amazing series and I recommend it to anyone who loves romance with a little bit of comedy. I can even slightly compare this to Twilight (only a little bit) so if you liked Twilight I guess you'll love this series(?)
