Episode 6:
The start was... *cough* find out yourself >.>
Then Nana after finishing her meeting went to the shopping area to wait for Yano who was meeting her there. Meanwhile she started looking in a store that had a really beautiful woman at the counter who was really nice to her and was showing her rings when Yano walked in and made a pained expression upon seeing her. The woman turned out to be Takeuchi’s Onee San, who commented that Nana looked babyish, which Yano agreed to reluctantly. She picked out a ring for Nana but it was too expensive so she let it be, Yano picked it after her and Takeuchi’s Nee San asked if he was going to buy it or not and he said “obviously” but the price was over for him as well so she said she’d buy it for him with her Employee Discount but he has to pay her back.
When they got out Nana asked Yano if this was the reason Takeuchi didn’t have a girlfriend that his sister was so beautiful so he felt his girlfriend had to be equally beautiful. Next day she confronted Takeuchi in school and a big secret about his sister came out xP *funny part* then when she asked if he has someone he likes, he paused looking at her for a while then said maybe she’s right and he has a siscom (poor guy).

In the class Yano sees Nana’s sister Yamamoto (yeah I forgot her name at the moment) putting on a scarf and is reminded of the time he saw the same thing after Nana’s death... I won’t describe this part, it’s part of the mystery so find out yourselves.

After school Nana kept staying at the bus stop with Yano missing bus after bus saying she’ll go on the next bus. Finally Yano made her get up, but when she got on the bus, he climbed in after her saying he’ll drop her home *kawaii >.<* and Nana wished the bus ride wouldn’t end...

Next day at school while coming out of sewing class Nana and Yamamoto run into Yano and Nana and Yano start talking and Yamamoto ignores him as usual and starts climbing the stairs and suddenly bumped into some guys and started to fall down. Yano somehow manages to break the fall and she falls on him, in that instant it’s shown how intimate their relationship is...
Nana takes Yano to the nurse’s office and tends to his wound, and tries to make him feel better saying he doesn’t need to look out for Yamamoto that much because her sister’s death wasn’t his fault and such and Yano stares at her a while and hugs her... What I found really disturbing was that... why does Yano get a chance with a girl as pure as Nana when he’s been incredibly unkind and uncaring in the past to the point of ruthless... it seems kind of unfair... poor Nana...

The ending theme was Suki Dakara by Izumi Katou again, I really love this song... so deep and sad... oh and I’m starting to get annoyed by writing >.> I want to hurry up and watch the series as soon as I can (yes my bad habit resurfacing again -_-; ) and it feels like a real bother to stop and do this while I can watch another episode >.< but I know if I don’t I’ll regret as soon as I watch an episode that moves me to tears and then I’ll blame myself for not writing till now @_@...

Bokura ga Ita ~ Episode 1-4 ~ Thoughts & Reflections

Episode 1-4 :

I know I already properly reviewed it so it's just my personal thoughts after re watching it after over a year...

Before my drive which had my reviews until episode 17 crashed, around same time Lee told me Yano was like him, some unexplainable feeling kept me from watching it after that, I don't know why... I guess I got afraid to start something I won't be able to finish maybe... because at that time I was certain I'm gonna die, but after that I couldn't talk to him anymore so... I wonder if that will ever be able to change... Nao said... you're not talking to him because you choose not to. Chigau yo... I'm afraid is more like it, what if he says "anata mitai na yowai hito nante nee san nara iranai kara" I guess I want to hold on to my one and only little brother in my memory for as long as I can... I'm afraid of the mintue he says he's disappointed in me and doesn' need me anymore... Taka said... "talk to him, if he's really as you tell him to be, he'll surely understand". But I'm afraid still... I already know he doesn't need me anymore... but if he puts it into words I think something inside me would break into pieces so bad and so noisily that I wouldn't ever forget the sound of it and would never be able to fix it... kowai... I wonder, maybe when I'm able to fix everything else in my life, maybe then I can actually face him and talk to him like before, maybe then he won't be disappointed in me. hoshii katta... anata mitai na otouto, zutto hoshi kattanda... donna fuuni iereba ii no... donna kotoba de wakaru... konna kurushii hodo naiteru kimochi ga iya da ya... tada isshou ni itai.. kikitai.. aitai na no ni.. doushite ieru toki dake yowai... aitai.. totemo, itai hodo aitai.. tatta hitori no otouto da ya, suki da yo.. motto hanashitai, anata ni naitai, anata itsumo soba ni iru no ni doushite ima sakebi demo kikoenai... ...dunno... I've been thinking of him more and more as more time keeps passing, feels like the distance between us just keeps growing... who should I blame...

When you love someone, the tiniest things stand out too much, the simple change of tone, one second delay of response, one averted gaze, the tiniest thing manages to put you feeling like something happened or the person dislikes you or is upset at you, the tiny little things you don't notice about other people, the little things you normally ignore about others, you become so sensitive to it when it's that one person... scary... 4:53 AM 31st March 2011 (Wow, I been thinking so much behind time, I put in 2004 instead of 2011 lol..)

Bokura Ga Ita ~ Episode 5 ~ Review

Episode 5 :

Nana finds herself unable to sleep thinking of what happened last and when she comes back to school Yano is giving her a cold shoulder asusual and she's too embarrassed to ask him anything.


also to her despair the rumor about them has spread in the school. Yano comes to her in class and asks her to a movie with him in a way that keeps her confused till she realizes that she's just been asked out on a date xP and he gives a really mischevious smile ^^

They ride the bus together and Yano tells her to sit down in the free seat, but she decides to stand with him and he smiles.

She asks him what he wants for his Christmas gift and he promptly says "Nana-chan!" and she laughs like he made a joke and tells him to be serious (poor Yano xD).

During the movie Yano keeps half the Chair arm empty for Nana in hope of holding hands but she's too naiive and engrossed in the movie to notice till the movie is almost over (awwww)

when she does notice that he's kept half the space for her she laughs and places her hand there ^-^

Yano smiles too and they end up watching the movie holding hands (KAWAII!)

Nana thinks " It's just as I thought, mutual love is a wonderful feeling" (so cute >.<)

They go to a park and are having a silly argument over food when Takeuchi come there with another friend. Yano leaves for bathroom and Takeuchi tells Nana that's he's happy for her just as Yano comes back and snatches Nana and walks off with her. Takeuchi says he feels Deja Vu....

When they're in the park alone Yano calls Nana and says he's decided what he wants for Christmas, a promise that she'll never leave his side or ever betray him...

Nana remebers how his dead girlfriend *gf* Nana(the other was simply Nana while Nana here is Nanami) was with her ex boyfriend when she died and Yano still isn't over that... Nana realizes why a lot of times Yano said the things he said like pieces of puzzles falling in place together slowly...

This Episode was really heartwarming, and sad... the pain Yano is in because of his dead gf and how much Nana tries to soothe it is really touching...

The Ehnding theme was Koko Ni Ite by Kaori Asou again, this song is usually sown is really sad parts I've noticed... I'll post a youtube version of the track here for people who can't bother to go find it themselves.

Bokura Ga Ita ~ Episode 4 ~ Review

Episode 4:

I don't have much to say for this episode... it was sad and deep... Yano started being distant from Nana and she was disturbed but afraid to even ask why.





Yano at the Play looking handsome in traditional dress.

The play finished with rather different lines but everyone loved it anyway since Yano was there, Nana is the girl at far left side.she was so disturbed about Yano that she messed up her three lines that she had.

On the way back from the play Nana's ring broke and Yano picked up the glass and fixed it for here when the dance was about to start.

In answer to what he said, Nana said something very deep and touching... made me think "yeah, that's what love really is all about..."

And then the big confession...

This episode is worth watching more than just reading about.... so so beautiful...

The ending theme was Suki Dakara by Izumi Katou, it finally made me cry... Suki dakara... hontou ne...

Bokura Ga Ita ~ Episode 3 ~ Review

Episode 3:

Ugh I'm halfway through it and I feel like crying T___T she's so so sweet! Yano kept missing reharsals in the summer vacations for the class plays and Nana was concerned.

Mizu and more classmates tried having a get together at the local festival and Nana dressed up in a yukata for Yano to see but he ended up not coming...

Nana got terribly depressed and then she saw his friend Takeuchiand he told her the reason for which he wasn't going out of his house... (so sad!!!)

Nana got sad thinking she was getting all excited while he as so sad but Takeuchi comforted her and told her it's good for Yano to have someone happy and excited near him.

Concerned, Nana went to his house and tried talking to him about why he couldn't come. He joked half the things off then got really sad...

When she was about to leave she rushed back in and told him he's not alone because she's always watching over him and because there are people who love him a lot... poor Nana T^T....

it was depressing to see him laugh hiding the pain inside....

Next day he appeared at the Play practices to Nana's shock. He teased her about the things she had said and she got annoyed and hit him.

Next was a really sweet scene *points to pic*
*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Next Yano fell asleep in class using Nana's bag as pillow, dreaming of the girl he had lost... when he woke up from his sad dream Nana was there, he asked her the same question he had asked his dead gf "shiawase te nani/what is happiness?" and she said almost the same thing that his dead gf had said...

what a beautiful series... I love every minute of it...

The endind track was Sunset by Mi, which really made me want to cry... reminded me of one pf my own poems... the way it reflected the pain...

Bokura Ga Ita ~ Episode 1-2 ~ Review

Bokura ga Ita Episode 1-2:
The first I read about this series it was described as "I would recommend the series to anyone who is looking for a story that could be real, for anyone who wants to reminisce or for those of you who enjoy love stories." by mastress from http://www.animea.net/ I thought "wow! this sounds like for me". The moment I started on the series I knew I was hooked.

The character design was oddly cute and not overly made to look real, I guess Obata Yuuki Sensei has a really simple but attractive art style, cute and sweet in it's own way.
I didn't start writing after the first episode but after the second I just had to, the story was turning really beautifully and naturally.

Takahashi Nanami (Nana) has just started High School and the first guy she hears about from everyone, Yano Motoharu, she dislikes because of his carefree attitude, but incident after incident makes her change her views about him as he keeps on helping her again and again. Then she finds out about his past and likes him even more (yes I'm not giving any spoilers, chill), the like ends up in a confession and he's not sure if he likes her that way or not, she's not willing to go out with someone like that so she tells him to just forget about it, but again he helps her out when their class is in trouble because of her forgetting about joining the council meeting (she's the class president and Yano is Vice President. Really funny how that came to be.) and that makes her realize that even though she doesn't want to go out with him when he's so undecided, there's no changing the growing feeling she has for Yano who keeps everything inside in himself.

The ending song of the first Episode was Aishiteru by Mi and for the second Episode it was Koko ni Ite by Kaouri Asou. I really loved both, I'll post them here soon if it's not against the rules, however http://www.gendou.com/ have links to download them if anyone is really really interested.

I'll try writing again after each episode ^^

For now some pics from the Second Episode (was too absorbed to take more than one in first one) ^^;
