This post is about weebshit. Normalfags get out now.

Have you seen the anime 彼氏かれし 彼女かのじょの事情じじょう (Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou; His and Her Circumstances) ? It's one of those lesser-known shoujo animes from the 90's despite being directed by Anno Hideaki, the genius behind Evangelion. Like Evangelion, this anime also had a noticeable budget cut, but unlike in Evangelion where the cut happened near the end Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou ran out of budget around halfway of the season. Because of these budgetary problems the makers had to resort to extreme animation reuse, double recap episodes and other shenanigans, resulting in an overall shitty animation. But the story is solid, so it's worth a watch.

The OST for this anime was composed by Sagisu Shirou - the guy who also did the Evangelion OST. The music itself is a mixture of piano pieces, jazz and a bunch of silly-sounding but actually cool songs, with the song Miyazawa Yukino III being my favorite. One thing I haven't realized for many years (I watched this in high school in 2014) is that many song titles are yojijukugo, i.e. four kanji compound words. They're similar to proverbs in that they usually aren't to be meant literally, but consist of exactly four kanjis. I've collected and looked up every single one and its meaning.
