Mixed Feelings
Golden Time is a anime with two fronts: what it is, and what, in my opinion, could've been/should've been.


I'm not a first timer to animes, I might be for the this type but not to the concept itself. Taking that into account, the fact that the two main characters are borderline irritating and stick to an almost stupid fragility and naivety doesn't help it either. The conclusion of the anime, or, let's call it, the "comeback" was way too fast when the whole thing took almost 22 episodes to deliver. The characters "evolution" was too late to actually start befriend them and accept them, and even when it finally got to that point something stupid would happen that would send me right back to diskling them. The feeling I had throughout the anime could be summed as: "if only the main character would behave as a normal person and stop putting up with every single thing the other one keeps doing.

As for the "could've been":

When the last episode ended I started grinding my brain on the "what if"s the anime had, and by the end f it I ran to a conclusion: I would love it so much more, if not even label it as a favorite if certain events had taken place; if certain decisions were sooner, or the reverse of them; if if if if if... too many to count, and too many to say it would be the same anime. Maybe I'll run into one like that eventually. As for now, I can only think on how good this anime could've been. Again.


On a more analytical point of view there a few pros on this anime. A few short sketches and scenes in which we can relate (and very much) to our daily lives. It has quite a few more than what I''m used to, which was one of the nice surprises that this anime led me to.

Concluding, if you like an anime based on crossroads of "love", with high level of drama and almost an unhealthy obsession by one of the main characters, come right here!
