On Monday Viewster, a video streaming service website, began streaming Bokura ga Ita. For the first time you can enjoy the complete series with English subtitles.
Bokura ga Ita is a wonderful shoujo anime about the trials and tribulations of young love, a love triangle, and finding ones own self at the tender age of 15. Nanami Takahashi begins her highschool life with a positive attitude, trying her best to make as many friends as possible. Motoharu Yano is the popular boy at school, winning over 2/3rds of the girls in his middle school’s affections. At first they don’t get along. Yano being a jokester tricks and embarrasses Nanami at every chance he gets, resulting in her calling a classmate by the wrong name in front of everyone. Despite their differences they fall in love and begin to date. It’s not long afterwards that Nanami discovers Yano’s dark past and how he struggles with the death of his ex-girlfriend.
