Uragiri wa boku no namae o šitteiru

A slightly below average anime that you’re never sure is going anywhere, and definitely ends up going nowhere. Both the opening and ending sequences left nothing in me, I listened to it once and that was enough. The series is full of bishi, but there are a few (literal) bishōnen in here as well. The main bishi Yuki suffers terribly, but loves everyone. Everyone loves him too, because he’s the one who suffers (for them, for everyone – am I the only one who was put in mind of Jesus?). It kind of runs along, doesn't impress, maybe surprises you occasionally when it manages to catch your eye. The drawing is kind of pointy, but it doesn't matter, it all kind of contributes to the whole thing. If you like bishōnen and characters that are over-the-top; in fact, if you like seeing stereotypes in a storyline, this is the anime for you. I’d say a better 2 stars. (23.09.2010)
