So I'll start by saying what would of made the show a 10 out of 10 for me.
The brain is a very complex part of the human body that we still today do not know everything about.
Sigmund Freud was the first to scratch the surface.
Modern day we have neuroscience.
It would been really awesome if they went psychology route but you really can't expect a fluffy cute anime to dive into advance psychology. It is beyond most people's general knowledge.
I'm not going to penalize the show that much for that. It just would of been a big bonus.
The show just gives
...
us that she was in accident and she suffered a brain injury that most likely affected the cerebellum. It is left up for your imagination.
When you look at the tags of the show.
There is no drama or romance tag. The selling point of the show is it's cuteness.
So what this means is that I'm not expecting romance from the show. It still makes you disappointed of what could of been but it should not irritate you because it is something you were conditioned for.
The main draw is it's cuteness.
The main draw of the show is Kaori Fujimiya.
My first impressions of her were that she was cold and kawaii and I loved her.
During episode 3 we saw a drastic change from her and at the time I felt that the change between cold and normal was too abrupt.
Thankfully the story did address this being that she acts emotionless so that people would avoid talking to.
This is something that I can relate to when I was going through my early years of my depression. I did the same thing. I was very emotionless walking through the hallways because i didn't want anyone to approach me.
I wanted to give off the illusion that I was unapproachable but when once someone actually starts talking to me a switch turns on and I'm my more friendly self.
So anyone who felt that it was unrealistic character change, I beg to differ.
The main plot of the show was Kaori Fujimiya writing in her diary to remember or for better words be informed of what was happening around her the last week.
This is not something that was made up for this anime. This is actually the same theory used to remember dreams.
Every night you will dream 4 times.
Will you remember all of them? No.
Do you sometimes remember one? Yes, and it is usually the last dream you were having.
I know you can remember countless times you've had a really cool dream and you do something like take a piss and poof the dream gone after that.
The dream has returned to your unconscious, the same unconscious that all of Kaori Fujimiya memories are trapped.
So by writing your dreams right when you wake up in the morning in a journal.
You will actually remember more of them.
Your able to tap into that unconscious like Kaori Fujimiya is tapping into hers slowly during the show.
Why she eventually feels naturally that it is Hase on Monday.
At this point I was thinking that this show could be an 8 out of 10.
Like I said, if it went the psychology route it would of been a potential 10 out of 10 at this point.
Then they did do something that irritated me with Kaori Fujimiya resetting after her reunion with Kayo. Pressing the reset button is one of my pet peeves. I find it lazy writing and it didn't lead to any pay-off.
Then of course it would of been nice if not just Kaori Fujimiya and Yuuki Hase became a couple. Also Shougo Kiryuu and Saki Yamagishi as well.
What it really comes down to it, what is the reason for them to not?
There isn't a reason. It makes complete sense for them to all end up being couples at the end of show and none of them are.
So you are left disappointed but to circle back to the beginning. I can't be irritated about it but I can't negate it either.
Do not go into this show wanting romance, it is destined to fail for you.
The final result is this landing as an above average show (7 out of 10).
There was a lot of miss opportunities that could of made this show special.
