Mixed Feelings


First impressions,
So when I first got into this show I got incredibly confused by the show itself,
But after sticking though it and watching it twice I got what this show about,
All though I am pretty sure that was because when I first got into the show I was still new to anime, But at the same time this is generally confusing at times.


Story, 5/10

So we without wings is a story that about the adventures of are 3 main characters,
Which I am going to talk about them one at a time.

The first one being about Takashi haneda a bata male high school student who claims he a prince from another world and by another world I mean generic Japanese RPG fantasy world but stays in order to look after his little sister,
one day he is asked out by a girl named Asuka watarai who only reason to date him so far is in order to stop other guys from hitting on her,
So his story arc is manly focused on blacking out and
Going to fantasy land and being a bata male in the friend zone while at school.
This by far was probably one of the most boring story arcs I had ever had to sit through the entirety of this show and honestly it's only ether got interesting to me when the twist about him starts interfering with his life.
Which doesn't happen intill the ending episodes.


The second being about Shusuke chitose a happy go lucky Youthful Young man who visits a bar named Alexander and is also a freelance journalist and book reviewer, who one day meets a girl by the name of hiyoko tamaizumi an up and coming novelist which are main character confuses to be a porn star,
Who starts working at the bar Alexdander in order to help with her income.
Seeing that he made a mistake he decides to also work at Alexdander in order to change her opinion about him.
This arc is manly focused on him luring the ropes of working at a bar and trying to get this girl to change her opinion on him,
Which dose led to some funny things,
So this arc was a bit more entertaining to me and it wasn't that boring,
But it's still nothing special.

And my favorite out of the story arcs dum roll please................................
Hayato narita a steet smart loner who works odd jobs and every now again gets involved in gang fights, one day while looking for a job he comes across a girl named naru ohtori a local school girl and the little sister of a local gang leader,
Who comes to him in order to help her find her missing bike.
This arc is manly focused on what happens to the city around night time With the gangs and night life in full swing,
Which is probably more interesting and entertaining for me at least to see gangs fighting each other and the overall atmosphere of the night life,
While some school girl try's to get into the main character pants.
So this arc nothing really that special but probably for me the best story arc to watch.

Now it's time to get to that twist I mentioned,
Now you're probably thinking by the sounds of this story it's pretty much about these 3 guys who only relation is that they all live in the same city,
Well what If I told you that all the main characters are actually the same person,
Well actually different people that share the same body,
So this is actually about a day to days life of a person with the spilt personally disorder with each personally taking over the body at different times,
With Takashi in control in school time , Shusuke in the afternoons and Hayato at night, who are basically there to protect the true
Personally yoji haneda.


I am here watching this and thinking to myself that this is actually a pretty interesting idea I wonder where there going to go with it,
This could make some very interesting drama if they handle it right
And what do with it Nothing much,
Because for the most part the story pretty much focused on comedy which made me laugh at times,
But they only uses the spilt personally thing in order to make this show a little different from the crowd it's basically becomes nothing beyond a gimmick

The only time they actually used it for drama was at the end and a few other scenes which pretty Much frizzed out and didn't even matter in the grand scheme of things especially when you're trying to have a dramatic moment that had not built up or had the tone to support such a scene,
But I still liked the ending even though it was kind of rushed.

So we with without wings had good premise and interesting narrative set up
But sadly all of this was good on paper and it didn't use all those ingredients to its full potential.


Characters, 5/10

The first main character Takashi was pretty much a basic bata male,
Who isn't that interesting at all,
I do like him a bit more at the end when he came to turns with his problem
But it came to little to late for me to care.

The second main character Shusuke was very enjoyable for me to watch,
His happy go lucky personally helped make this show a lot less boring than it should have been,

Th third main character Hayato was probably my favorite out of the three,
I really like his loner take no shit personally he was also fun to watch as well.

Another thing before I move on I really want to talk the relationship that the three personality have with each other,
That there all there to protect and care for each other even if it results in one of them disappearing for ever,
It kind of this brotherly love kind of relationship.

The supporting cast was ok for the most part,
Some of them where quite fun to watch,
But there not the deepest or the most likable characters I have seen,
Most of them are just bland character archetypes,
Which wasn't that bad because quite a few of them didn't feel like archetypes.
But there just kind of there just to fill space a guess.

Art, 6/10

The animation was quite decent,
Nothing mind blowing but looks alright.

It's has the nice visual novel style to it.

I quite like some of the character designs.

Sound, 5/10

I actually quite liked the op song,
I found it nice to listen to,
Nothing great but honestly.
The ending song was kind of mah to me.

The ost was alright to listen to,
It was on point for when it was used,
But sadly it's very forgettable at lest for me.


Enjoyment, 6/10

I quite enjoyed this anime dissipate it problems,
Because a really did enjoy the comedy and the over all atmosphere and I found this a decent time passer.
But what really hampered my enjoyment is that this could have been if it had focus a lot more on the spilt personally thing.

Overall, 5/10

So if you like V.n anime or basic rom-com drama then probably check this one out,
You may not get the feels but you have an ok time passer,
If you don't like this type of show then probably stay away,
Because even though it's ok by the standards of what it is.
It is still a mah show as a whole.
