Our Dating Story the Experienced You and the Inexperienced me, I went into this anime hoping for some excitement for the heart. Some heart tugging, maybe some heart breaks, some aww moments. Instead, I stumbled upon a story most romance anime try to steer away from. Let’s talk about it further within the review. Synopsis
Let’s start with the synopsis of our story one of our MC’s Ryuuto is a bit of an introvert and not popular at all within their school asks his crush to be his girlfriend. Now our other MC Runa is the crush which happens to be the most popular girl in the class. Two people that are complete opposites, how will it turn out? Will it last? Story
Now let’s get into the best part of this anime, the story. Not many romances genre anime tackle a realistic issue such as the female having more experience than the male in a story. Personally, I’m thankful to see the anime revolve around this issue. I can recall a few moments such as Runa attempting to sleep with Ryuuto because she was used to being treated that way. Also, the moment where she cried due to not having any firsts to experience with Ryuuto. These are heart crushing moments, but it was the show saving grace in a way. Ryuuto and Runa did relationship did progress but there were a few roadblocks the show could’ve kept out. For example, Ryuuto and Runa broke up multiple times within the show, but it was for very small reasons or no reason at all this was very confusing to say the least. ~~~__Characters
~~~
Let’s start with our two MC’s Ryuuto and Runa. I absolutely hated Ryuuto, there were too many moments where I applauded him then took the respect, I gave right back lol. He didn’t stand out much as Runa and possibly could’ve been overshadowed should they have given any other side character more development.
Now on to our side characters Maria and Nikoru. Maria is the twin sister of Runa which kind of threw the story off cause she’s initially Ryuuto’s first crush. Personally, I think it would’ve been better if she was not Runa’s sister, I felt like they forced the sister relationship and a bunch of information in between did not make sense. For example, even Runa’s best friends did not know she had a twin sister... How? Maria had some of the best moments in the show and possibly a better fit with Ryuuto if we are being honest. Nikoru is Runa’s best friend who showed the best progression with even seeing a bit of a love story of her own in the show. Not much to say about Nikoru, it’s clear she’s been hurt and she’s tired of Runa being hurt from her attitude towards Ryuuto. Now there is Ryuuto friends and one more friend of Runa but honestly, they didn’t get enough time within the anime to have an opinion on them.
Animation __
I will say the animation is beautiful, especially the character designs (for the ladies). The guys all look plain, but I do have to give it up to the female characters design I am a fan. There were no weird animation issues and something that is often overlooked is the background of the anime was very detailed.
Conclusion
To conclude the anime felt like a waste of time, I watched 1-10 episodes and had to kind of force myself to finish the anime for the review. Ultimately the experienced you and inexperienced me had a great story line to work with but they fumbled the ball. I grew tired more than worried about their relationship and often hoped Runa would get mad at Maria for all the nonsense she did but never did. I rate this anime with a – __Eh why am I watching this
__
_Anime with a score of 60-70 receives a “Eh why am I watching this”.
