I thought I’d start my series wrap up reviews with Myself; Yourself. As you will see from my earlier reviews I am quite fond of this little series. After an interesting beginning with the mysterious Nanaka and annoying Aoi often taking centre stage, the series did delve into very different territory touching on incest, insanity, suppressed memories, lesbianism, murder, arson and of course suicide. Pretty hard hitting material for such a short series, but people will be happy to hear that “Myself” didn’t go down the School Days route like earlier predictions.

Overall I will have to say it was an interesting little gem possibly not as hard hitting as they could have made it. I did find the final few episodes slightly rushed, It seems the studio was attempting to cover far too much ground in too short an amount of time. Definitely give it a watch if you want something that covers slightly more serious topics and is short and sweet, but don‘t expect the extraordinary. The only problem is you may be left with a slight feeling of confusion at how everything progressed so fast in the closing stages.

My lesson learnt from this series, beware elderly people who believe you look like their long dead granddaughter and it involves a disappearing cat *shudder*. I don’t think I’ll be doing any voluntary work with the elderly for a while after seeing that.
