Bokura ga Ita

Bokura ga Ita is an anime for romance and drama lovers. I, personally
love the genre so I enjoyed BgI to its fullest (mind you, not as much
as something like Kanon), however, BgI really leaves you with
overwhelming emotions.

The story revolves around Takahashi Nanami and Motoharu Yano, two high
schoolers who unexpectedly fall in love. As the series moves on, we get
to see the ups and downs of their relationship that eventually climaxes
when both of them must truly mature or move on - the choice being
particularly difficult for Takahashi. Throughout the story, the viewer
is introduced to various problems every couple
faces from past influences to jealousy -in the end it's quite a simple
plot outline with very gripping dialog (for a drama, that is).

Animation is taken care of very well - there's a water color-esque feel
akin to Honey & Clove mixed with standard inked anime. The
animation won't wow you but it's still nice to for the eyes.

Insert songs create a perfect scene where emotion must strike a chord.
Music can make or break a scene and although the songs are prevalent
during climaxes, they always seem to get the job done.

There's about 4-5 main characters that truly effect the plot - a couple
of them are boring and static however the three main ones are the ones
you'll come to love or hate. BgI is the type of anime that makes you
feel for the character and sympathize with them; although you may not
be in Takahahi's shoes, she'll often narrate her thoughts and feelings
to you.

Overall, I'd suggest this for romance/drama lovers - I truly enjoyed
every second of this anime and I'm searching for the manga right now.
The plot, while simple provides a lot of entertainment for the viewer -
whether you cry or laugh, Bokura ga Ita delivers what it's good at.
