"But somewhere inside, it didn't feel right."
When expectations fail reality.
Yesterday wo Utatte started as something average.
Here, "average", doesn't necessarily stand for something negative. It's "average" as in "it's something that could happen to anyone, your average, dramatic daily life"; the show gave you this heavy feeling of empathy for its characters ー while you we…
Read full review on AniList →The opening was the best part.
<i>Yesterday wo Utatte</i> (henceforth <i>YwU</i>) sets itself apart from other anime romances thanks to its focus on adult life. This, together with it being an adaptation of an 90s manga, grabbed people's attention. However, despite being a pretty show to look at, it fails at giving an honest and…

__Yesterday Wo Utatte is a great show. __Despite the title I would recommend this. the first few episodes felt like a journey within themselves and made this series one of my favourites of the season. However, I cannot say it stayed like this through the entire series. As the show progresses, we rec…

Read full review on AniList →a subtle, intricate, and well executed romantic drama with big caveats
This is just going to be a big wall of text. Go to the end for TLDR.
The most important aspect of a romance story, regardless of medium, is for the audience to feel what the characters are feeling. Sing Yesterday to Me has done the best I've seen in showing me the characters feel by just looking at…
Read full review on AniList →An incredibly awkward drama that didn't feel like it went anywhere
I went into _Yesterday wo Utatte_ expecting a thoughtful exploration of the struggle to discover what one really wants to do in life, which resonates with some of my own issues I currently deal with. What I instead got was a slow, incredibly awkward love-“square” of sorts that was at times genuinely…
Read full review on AniList →A beautiful, down-to-earth show that set itself up for disappointment, and somehow did even worse.
There's a vibe, a mood, to this show that makes it feel a lot more down-to-earth and genuine than almost any other romance anime. It's hard to pinpoint where that vibe ultimately comes from.
Maybe it's the voice acting. The voice acting for the main character, Rikuo, is not especially flamboyant, b…

It has never happened to you to be ordering your things or cleaning your room and to find an old photo, perhaps a family photo or a special memory with your friends, and feel that nostalgia for having experienced something that seems that you’ve lived it yesterday and that you even remember the move…
Read full review on AniList →A delightful story of self-change and romantic drama, even with an ending a tad optimistic for its own good.
The past, to most of us, seems awfully bittersweet. To think of the days that we’ve found ourselves in bliss that gave us a sense of purpose, it’s no wonder most of us try to relive the “glory days”. Yet we forget to realize that the past holds us back, too. __Sing Yesterday for Me__ follows four pe…

__Einstieg, Alltag und Thema__
„Sing ‘Yesterday’ for Me“ hat mich anfangs regelrecht verwirrt – und das meine ich als Kompliment. Ich saß da, folgte den ersten Episoden und fragte mich unablässig: Wohin soll das führen? Keine klaren Bögen, kein ständiges Plot-Gebimmel, sondern vier Menschen, die ih…

# How can you allow something you desire to be destroyed?#
__Yesterday wo Utatte__ is a series in which each episode seems to be a string of disappointments. From poorly written, unconvincing characters to a plot that remains largely meaningless for most of the anime. But let's start from the begin…
