Bokura ga Ita really surprised me these 4 episodes. I was expecting more shallow, predicatable, and typical attitudes from the characters, but it is fantastically woven with a unique fabric. These four episodes have bumped my impression of Bokura up a notch, and I’m not sure what series would be directly above this if I had to rank my anime experiences, but it ownes that spot now; no doubt. So it’s still the daytime soap drama that our girlfriends, mother’s and grandmother’s get so caught up in, but there’s quality here, and Bokura feels very authentic and textural; ie. I can dwell on the way the mood, tone, and emotion rubs me. Perhaps it is only I, but I identify very well with the entire situation (I’d be afraid to put this story past a specific ex). I quickly jotten down episode notes, but hopefully they aren’t too ragged.
