Just Because!
The first episode of Just Because! wasn’t necessarily a particularly strong start but it was an opening that highlights just how many paths this anime could venture down in a successful way. This anime starts off with a group of students who are simply waiting for their last semester of high school to come to an end. These young characters aren’t expecting much excitement at the end of the year until a familiar face makes a sudden return. Just Because! is already poised to take a candid look at the emotional journey so many young people experience in high school. Loyalty, love, and regret are likely to be strong themes holding this new anime’s narrative together. In terms of an anime that has a lot of potential to really pull at its viewers’ heartstrings, Just Because! seems extremely promising.
