The characters are trash and bland exepct Komiya who has at least a personality. Honestly rather then such trashy origina anime they should adapt mre good shoujo anime, where the characters are actually good and the plot is decent

Well think about it not all characters have the personalities you want them to have you know. If you hate this anime so much then drop it.

You're right.
They are so generic with no development at all.
Plus the plot is also very weak and the script poorly written.
I'd also drop the show if there wasn't only couple of eps left.

To be honest this anime is as decent as it can get with how the plot is going. I won't deny the execution of the anime isn't that great, but its not something to where it'll make me go "Oh, I just dislike it." Plus the characters aren't really bland as they were characterized decently to a point where they're somewhat passable.

I don't honestly agree with Komiya because while I do like her I prefer other characters more. It can be cliche sure but the actions etc matter, which the characters do actually have that, to an degree. I wouldn't exactly blame them.

Yes this is trash but apparently Gintama is a masterpiece is this a joke lol?

If you thought it was trash you shouldn't of watched 10 episodes of it in the first place. Everyone has a different opinion but if you're going to call a certain anime trash atleast explain why this didn't tell shit and by the looks of your scores you shouldn't even talk about what is good and what is not.

this isn't really that generic at all. it has some good twists, credible dialogues, and very little fanservice. though the exact developments are unlikely to happen in real life, there are very relatable situations - people letting risky, premature potential romances affect their choices for the future, coming out of their shells and/or realizing feelings after a long time.

this is a coming of age show before it is a shoujo, and i don't think it fits the shoujo archetype at all - it borders on a seinen/josei hybrid.

No it is not. Stop being attention whore.

Makoto_Free said:

I can see where it is coming from. I too think the characters are way too tame, seems pesimistic or like you said 'boring' compared to other teenage anime. But I think from the show it was shown that they just act polite when they are in the community which is the setting take place the most. But realize there are differences when they are alone or in their self thought. They do have personalities. Well I mean it is obviously Eita is a shy guys who doesn't want attention but feels comfortable when with Haruto, who thinks being adult is a boring thing and jealous with his friend who were going to college, Mio often trashtalking when she is alone, Haruka's trying to be fitting in with today trend because she feels so old fashioned and so on. Not saying they are very realistic or anything, but at the very least it's makes sense enough.

This anime is just bad. After I watched the first episode I thought it could be very interesting but it sucks (story, setting, characters, animation). It tries to be realistic but it fails. One of the worst and most boring show of this season after dies irae and shobitch. And to the people who wonder why do I watch this anime if I find it so bad? Well, if I start something, I'll end it no matter how bad it is.

That's a really bad point to make. I have no idea why someone would want to watch something as bland as that.

I find the show's drama to be entertaining even if the characters are dull. I like how they each clash with the other and are forced out of their typical ranges in emotion.

Tsuki ga Kirei is obviously way more than a dozen times better than this. I got bored with the first few episodes, but as episodes goes on, it become enjoyable and realistic. You guys complain about character development, well what donyou guys want? A tsundere, hyper energetic character, and more unrealistic personality?? Well just see the anitrend characters polls, most of Just Because characters are in the top 10. Personally Ena makes this anime become more enjoyable, I even went as far make her as my top 10 favorite characters.

It's without a doubt a far-cry to Tsuki but Just Because! is still great in it's own way (Komiya Ena for example). I welcome anime that can try and implement Tsuki ga Kirei's realistic style of school romance/slice-of-life.

I like this show, but I've not watched Tsuki ga kirei so can't compare the two. Some posters said that the situation is unrealistic, but in what way? Taking into consideration that none of the characters knows how the others are feeling, their reactions, caution, etc, doesn't seen that unrealistic to me. Perhaps the weakest element was Mio switching on a dime from Haruto to Eita, though it's possible she had suppressed her feelings for Eita all along.
I don't find it boring either, though if I were much younger I might prefer to see something more action orientated. These days I prefer SOL.

It's a pretty good show that's much more realistic character-wise than the average anime. Well, if you're used to overexaggerated tsunderes and 'genki'-characters, yeah, the characters here will appear 'bland'. This show isn't that typical anime trash and goes for a more mature mood.

It was a show with nice potential that picked an interesting part of Japanese life and played it realistically, adequately immersive world with good winter vibes and decent dialogue. Even though I dropped it courtesy of the ending I would never describe it as bad. Saying its bad cos they picked the girl you don't like reeks of immaturity

That anime is pretty good imo and they do have personalities.
They just don't show them so over the top like in some other romances and their actions and other subtle things speak for them. Also, I thought their reactions are very relatable yet, because I know some of these situations, and even if they weren't relatable for myself, they appear as natural and believable for their character traits.
I will definitely finish this in the old year. x3

Not really this anime was trash, I feel like it was trying to aim for something similar to Your Name with the scenery scenes. In addition, the characters were bland as OP have stated except for Koyima and the main guy should of picked her not Natsume cause she was rather just annoying and had her chance. The main guy is also dumb for not realising the real feelings

Huh? TgK was as realistic as a giant mecha vs. bug eyed monsters space opera with pilots chosen from kindergarten. The problem is, one can't make a realistic anime about japanese life as the whole cast would either have to commit suicide, live with cats for life or take hug pillows for wife. No kidding.

Yesterday there was a news snippet saying the Association of Shinto Shrines has granted permission to its priestly members to administer the traditional new year blessing meant for 3/5/7 year old kids and their mothers also to ladies who consider their lap dogs or cats as children. Hundreds of such "families" lined up already on the first day available! Not trolling, it was on national TV.

The island nation is falling apart at the seems, nobody is falling in love any more or at least don't engage in lasting relationships, so no kids produced. Population is falling like a stone and aging rapidly. Hope is lost.

Thus Tsuki ga Kirei and even Just Because are highly idealised, Disney Princess-ish fairy tales, as much as the reserved nature of japanese allows for syrup. Producers are desperately trying to convince young audience not to discard real life for either virtualization or a jump at the train tracks. I wish them every success in that endeavour, because as a hungarian citizen I understand perfectly how an unexplainable kind of hopelessness can invade the soul of a whole nation.

I fault Just Because however, for failing to show the wedding of Mio and Eita's son. TgK at least did its job in that respect. That Souma didn't relocate to Morikawa's uni city is also a fault in JB. With just secondary education he wouldn't risk any career prospect by becoming an itinerant worker, since he didn't have a seniority path to begin with. The Genesis says so wisely: "...a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh..." Souma won't ever gain Morikawa as his wife, because he failed to leave his father and mother behind for her love. Parents are also at fault for not kicking him out, so they won't get to see any grandchild.

I agree but he made the wrong choice by choosing Natsume and Natsume probably likes him cause he told her about his feelings. In addition, you are right your name is overhyped and iabarahe too but giving a similar feel of the series.
