Kimi to Boku





I seriously never expected that I’d enjoy watching “Kimi to Boku” as much as I did. After all, the drawing animation style seemed “quite laid-back” that it gave me the impression there’d be times where in I’d feel somewhat sleepy watching it. Don’t get me wrong though, I am not criticizing the animation style. In fact, I do like it. It’s just that when something is quite laid-back, you have this tendency to get relaxed and then just doze-off at some point.

Fortunately, though it is indeed a light watch, it is not something that made me doze-off. In fact, every moment of it was full of feels for me—funny, entertaining, amusing and even heart-warming. It makes one nostalgic with all their fun and youthful days back in school spent with their treasured friends.

It is simple but true.
