Maybe this is a realistic depiction of how high schoolers face hurdles in their relationships and I’m just old and out of touch (no, it’s the kids who are wrong), but, all the same, it was, at times, physically painful for me to watch.Ī third and final reason why Say “I Love You”.
But, no, instead Mei spends several episodes moping, feeling insecure, and distancing herself from everybody around her. I’m glad that we had this conversation.” The two hug it out and live happily ever after.
No, what I take issue with is the fact that the solution to this, and the other problems that Mei and Yamato face, is so simple: just bloody well talk to one another! Here’s what ought to have happened in this scenario: “Hey, Yamato, have you been cheating on me?” “No.” “OK, cool, but you probably shouldn’t have secret meetups with other girls.” “OK, yeah, that’s a fair point. Sure, it’s a little “high school”, but, again, our couple are high schoolers, so that makes sense. Now, I don’t take issue with the problem itself. He may not have cheated on her, but when she learned about their secret meetups she was still, understandably, shaken. Here’s an example of one of the trials our young couple face: Yamato began spending time with another girl behind Mei’s back. Every single one of Mei and Yamato’s problems stemmed from their inability to communicate with each other. isn’t worth your time is that it was, at times, extremely frustrating to watch. Theirs is a relationship that defies all logic.Īnother reason why Say “I Love You”. Yet Yamato’s attraction towards her persists.
That being said, once they begin dating, Mei becomes yet another Yamato fangirl, her once fiery personality rears its head once, maybe twice, more the entire show, and she suddenly starts to care what others, particularly her newfound friends, think about her. Admittedly, they’re high schoolers and high schoolers have never needed a good reason to start dating anybody. If you ask me (and, since you’re reading this, I assume that you’re at least a little interested in my opinion), these reasons seem pretty silly, hardly the basis for a long-lasting relationship. Or perhaps Yamato’s attraction towards Mei stemmed from the fact that she paid little heed towards what other people thought about her. Another possible reason might be that, after receiving a roundhouse kick straight to the face, Yamato was drawn to Mei’s fiery personality. Or maybe, because of this, she represented somewhat more of a challenge for him. Perhaps, in his mind, this singles her out as unique. One reason why Yamato might find Mei attractive is that, before they began dating, she was the only girl in their school to have never shown any interest in him. No, the problem is that, even when I try to put my finger on these reasons, they seem… silly, at best. Feelings are often messy and difficult to unspool, and sometimes something is lost when trying to do so. The problem isn’t that he never says why he likes her. from being equally as successful is that it’s almost impossible to comprehend Yamato’s attraction towards Mei. It’s a simple premise, one that’s found success in literally hundreds of other shows. We watch as, over the span of 13 episodes, they meet, begin to date, and overcome various trials and tribulations. isn’t worth your time is as follows… This anime revolves around the blossoming romance of two young, high schoolers: Mei Tachibana and Yamato Kurosawa. So aren’t you better off investing in those actually worth your time? Here are three reasons why Say “I Love You”. Anime, even shorter ones, represent a significant investment of your time. The way I look at it, time is a finite and, therefore, valuable resource. Though I do try to keep my posts pretty positive here on Watashi Wa Bucho!! (there’s already enough negativity in the world without me adding to it), every so often I watch an anime so unpalatable that I feel it’s part public service to warn people about it.
