"It's going to be sad. I still really like it though". Eternal Yesterday trained us 🥹

Do you guys think Ritsu is also lying and just faking his amnesia?

Tbh, I think one of the reason was MBS didn't promote Eternal Yesterday as much like their other series

Louder!

yeah, I have no idea how many times I've already watched it, hihi. it broke me but it still heals me at some point

huhu, same. even though Eternal Yesterday is my top ranked show as well, I am still not healed yet from it. I'm not sure if I can stand another sad ending

this is a really impressive first episode, like the other one who commented here, everything is gorgeous, the acting, the visuals, the cinematography, the ost instrumental background, and the storyline

I have no idea how much the impact of this series left for me. Everytime I finish another drama, I used to go back to this. And as expected, it's still my number one, and it will probably forever does

I might be in the minority but this was the least fave jbl series that I've watched. Here are some of my reasons why:

1. I can't feel the enemies-to-lovers trope. As someone who has watched a ton from this kind of trope, this is the first time that I didn't feel the antagonism, despise, rivalry and hate between the two main couples. I am looking for spicier confrontations and teasing.

2. The acting. It was really stiff and unnatural from start to end. I can't feel the emotions of the character that they are trying to portray. But to be fair, Onoe's character is one of the kinds of characters that are hard to portray. I think they should have made some adjustments instead in terms of the delivery style. Even though we can see some can portray the anime-ish kind of acting that we usually get from the vibe of the og or the manga, it won't work all of the time and not every actor can portray it well. Aside from acting, I find too many monologues that it supposed to be voice-over instead because there are moments that they are delivering some confidential lines like no one can hear it.

3. The chemistry. Unexpectedly, the chemistry of the 2 actors can be really seen off cam, I just don't know why I can't see it from the drama. Tbh, I used to talk about the actors during the early episodes because of their acting and chemistry but on second thought, it's not their fault after seeing some of their off-cam moments.

4. Cinematography. I don't like the way they angled their shots. One example was the hugging scene, there is something off for me, it made the scene less romantic and less emotional for me. My other concern was the music. I like the intro song but I am not a fan of the ost instrumental that they used in some parts that affect the vibe of the scene.

5.. The plot. The execution is a little bit messy for me. I thought it will get better already when Inami's character showed up but they just romanticized Inami's character because what he did was pure evil whatever the motives were. There is no intense climax as well. I believe that episode 7 was already the climax and I really find it underwhelming.

Good points: actors visuals, intro song

Overall (or conclusion):
Like what my one friend (tw moot) said, "I don't hate it but I'm disappointed". I gave it a chance until the end and I hoped (for real) that it would get better every time when I finish an episode. Because in the end and as someone who is a fan of jbls more than the other bls from other countries, I am happy to see every bls celebrate their success for giving a high-quality produced story

Oh, is it really the last of the lineup? Tbh, I kind of didn't expect this, some also said from my japanese moot that AmePara would be already their last. But hoping this would turn out good and continue this lineup

The trailer itself already looks really good. I also feel like that this would be like a "fake amnesia" like I usually saw from other stories but I hope they don't take that route because that kind of twist usually get complicated in the later part

Nevertheless, I am hoping this would turn out good and satisfy our expectations, and I believe to the main leads that they will deliver a really promising and well acting as I've seen them already from their previous series

I miss them 🥺

No trailer yet 😭

Everytime I finish another jbl series, I go back to this one 🥺

I miss them 😭😭

It's already February, from the novel, it was the same month when Koichi was gone 😭🥺

It's gonna be angsty for sure, but I will be seated

It's been 7 weeks already since the finale aired and I still love this series the most and I feel like it will probably take a long time or forever

I miss them 😭😭

I actually don't have anything to say in terms of cinematography and it's actually one of the best cinematography that I've seen from the series I watched but the cinematography alone was not enough to justify if this series is really good.

I love the first half of the series until they came to that decision that ruined the whole series. It is a kind of serious decision that the characters didn't think about, Eiji is already an adult, and it obviously doesn't guarantee that they will get the acceptance by Eiji's dad. Moreover, I don't get the purpose why Mieko did try it as well to Makio, if it turned out to be Makio's baby, the outcome is even worse I think. Based on Eiji's dad's characterization, I don't think he will be going to accept a baby that isn't his grandson in blood. I actually have nothing against stories that depict what usually happens in real life (or lgbtq+ life) but this decision is also something that you would think carefully about in real life

This is like a downgrade version of Life Senjou for me, and Eiji was like a downgrade version of Akira. They really messed up the characters as well

It is just that I feel sorry for the whole outcome because it really has the potential to be a really good series.
