Time travel, particularly self-crossing or looping time travel, is something of a staple in anime. There are shows, including some that could be described as masterpieces, that see characters repeating the same events, attempting to achieve the happy ending they've dreamed of, or even just to break the cycle that has them trapped. Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete (Waremete) is not one of the masterpieces, but in some ways it clearly has learned from them. The basic story, that you'll get in the first episode, involves the first fourteen days of October for the five members of the Astronomy Club, ultimately ending in tragedy as one of them is struck by a bus. Then, an early scene repeats, only to be interrupted by the arrival of a new character.
From there, most of the running time of the sh…

It's a slow anime with a plot that is very predictible, but enjoyable though. It starts with a huge event that may make u think its a thriller/mistery anime, but as the story develops, the plot loses it and the story is just about friends that gather together and spend some time at the school club. Its not until EP 9 that things start again the same way we were introduced in the 1st episode. I would recommend it for someone that doesn't kwow what to watch since it only has 12 episodes, so they would finish it in a week and it wouldn't take much of their time. But i was into it enough to finish it and i wouldnt say it is a bad anime at all. The characters are funny, cute and i think this is the strongest point of the anime. Overall, i think its a nice anime with some good moments. 7/10

This show, in my opinion, took way too long to kick into gear. Throughout the first half of the show, I spent more time wondering where this show was going than actually focusing on the show. The story takes too long to progress for you to even enjoy the show in the first place. In all honesty, I was somewhat hooked when shit hit the fan. This anime wasn't entirely all that bad.
Story - 4
I had no sense of what the story even was until things started getting explained. The problem with this show was that hardly anything was explained EVER. The only thing I got from the first few episodes is that there's this dude who really likes stars and CHIKUSHOOOOO his childhood friend is dead and NANIIIII???? we're suddenly back at the start with a new white-haired girl. Even after the appearance of…

TL;DR at the bottom. If you're lazy to read this, go rock bottom.

Sooo, here we are, Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete. Just in case, THIS IS a VN adaptation so, yeah, don't expect much.
Let's just begin:
-------
Pros:
+Plot
Seriously, this is one damn of underrated anime, you know why? Because people who 'underated' this is 12yo kid who like to watch some whinylilpussy low-end anime that has no story depth. Dun' worry, tho, cause, really, it's only the plot that give me enough point to watch this thing.
The story is there, it is, you may get confused at beginning about the timeline due to bad headstart but the late episode will explain to you what is the shit, so sit down.
Uhmmm, maybe, I should skip explaining like what the story truly is? Well, go read some synopsis if you haven't k…

Hey guys , it's been a long time since I've wrote a review , so I hope that you will enjoy it .
Well, shall we begin ?
First of all some of you guys know that this anime is based on the game with the same name and if I'm not mistaken it's an eroge , not that I've played it , yet . The synopsis is written above so I will skip it .
What I liked about the about this anime that it had and still has the Steins;Gate vibe in it, I won't go in detail about this but you should watch that one to . Time travel is the main word if you want to describe this show, but the bad part about it that this isn't to well explained and because of that some holes in the story were born , of course you can let them slide and enjoy the anime as it is .
About the characters, here is the main problem, they weren't…

This show is really underrated, like REALLY underrated. I've got to agree that it is not close to being the best mystery/romance series but it deserves concideration.
Story: 7
The story is really unique, it's rare to see time traveling anime because thet need to be done correctly or they will fall flat and be forgotten fast. Sadly, "In Search Of A Lost Future" kinda fall in this category. The story is paced really weirdly and some useless Slice of Life elements really did slow the anime pace. But at least, near the end everything makes sense and everything is explained.
Art: 6
I did not hate the art of this show but I did not like it at the same time. Because there were a lot of derps in the facial art and mostly in the first episodes. The animation style looked great and fluid. The colo…

Contains spoilers, but it's necessary to discuss some aspects of it.
Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete deserves a 6 - no more or less. The anime was not bad at all, but there are a lot of flaws that may steer viewers away from this anime easily. I watched it through and I'd say it's not as bad as what people say.
If you look at the recommendations to this anime, Steins;Gate is among that list. I believe that this anime shares very similar themes, but this anime doesn't execute those themes anywhere as effectively as Steins;Gate.
STORY: 5. One thing about this anime is that time travel is a huge theme in this anime. There are many questions about time travel. For example, if I do something in one time frame when doing time travel, what happens to people in another time frame? This anime is…

For the sake of full-disclosure, I watched this anime as part of /r/anime's "Nerves of Steel" contest, where users were assigned various "bad" anime and forced to sit through them.
Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete (from hereon referred to as Waremete), honestly surprised me. My expectations were rock-bottom, since the only reason I had even heard of this anime, let alone watched it, was because it was deemed trash. Looking at the rating, it seemed that was true.
Waremete is a school romantic sci-fi mystery, centered around time travel. What a mouthful. An interesting mystery is set up in episode one. Sadly, the vast majority of the mystery in the show is made ridiculously blatant by the second episode. Then, for awhile, the show turns into a mediocre school romance anime. For the first two…

This anime... completely baffled me.
I started off with kind of mysterious start, some nerd falling asleep at some lab. It then become a standard high school anime, of the casual caliber. Girl loves guy, guy is dense and girl wants to tell him her feelings. Standard... until strange events started to happen.
Honestly, the anime had NO FREAKING SENSE to me until episode 9. After I watched that episode, I had a feeling of rewinding the movie and going "Oooooooooooooooh so that's why".
I never thought that the anime was going for the reverse storytelling style. Usually animes progress as the story unfolds. But this one had me with a jack in a box. The story makes no sense until you watch the one episode where everything is revealed. It feels like the real anime plot started from there, but…

In late 2014, Studio Feel managed to split the community by releasing In Search of the Lost Future, probably the least mysterious mystery show of all time. In fact, it´s so not mysterious that about fourty percent of all anime related web pages, including MAL, prefer to just list it as a regular school romance.
Undoubtedly, this show gets off to a flying (and indeed somewhat enigmatic) start and culminates in the last three episodes, presenting us with a satisfying solution to it´s “mystery”. This would make WareMete a magnificent anime…if it weren´t for all the episodes that lie in between.
Because for those eps, Writer Rie Kawamata for some reason decides to throw his own plot completely out of the window and unexplainably depicts an ordinary school romance drama I couldn´t have cared…

First of all, let me clear stuff up. This anime is a Romance, School, Drama, Sci Fi anime.
I picked it up since I wanted some good romance and this one looked like it would fit the bill, but by the end of it, I was left disappointed.
Story 7/10:
You can't understand what's happening in this anime until the 8th episode. Before that, just play along as the dense protagonist fails to take a hint and pass their daily school lives. After the 8th episode, it gets a little interesting but still it's nothing new. It's a total copy of Steins; Gate. And the romance, there is very little. Yes, there is the whole love thing but it's unrequited and the whole thing you might have for the pair is killed in the end. I'd say this was a poor romance.
Art 6/10:
The animation isn't all that pleasing. If it…

I honestly don't know why this show has such a low score. Perhaps too many people didn't adhere to the old adage "don't judge a book by its cover".
Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete has a very interesting story indeed. Without spoiling anything for the potential viewers, the story is at its core a mystery. Until a certain episode, we are kept in the dark as to what the purpose is for the numbers on screen, and the relationship of the main story to the first scene in the first episode. Needless to say, when everything is revealed, it all makes sense. With the ending though, some viewers may not be satisfied. I, for one, believe that an ending is paramount to the conclusion of a series. I applaud Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete's writers and staff for not pulling an ending out of their ass. Th…

The past can change the future.
As I have mentioned in my quote. Now, for the anime "In Search of the lost Future" or in Japanese pronunciation Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete.
STORY (6):
The story takes place in Uchihama Academy where Akiyama So is part of the Astronomy Club along with other people. This reminds me of Gokukoku no Brynhildr which I didn't enjoy that much. One day, a girl named Yui Furkuawa transfers into the school where she meets Sou and the gears of fate slowly begin to move.
This concept sounds interesting. I did like the way how they show us how the past and change the future. However, they could at least explore more about how the machines that transport a person from the future into the past works.
ART (4):
Now I have to talk about the animation. The animation…

so i'm giving this series a 10 even though it probably doesn't deserve it. the series managed to get me emotionally invested in the characters. the pacing is a bit slow, but there's a lot of character development.
honestly, the story and ending are a bit illogical and depressing. but, i think that's part of the beauty of it. if it hadn't played out the way it did, it wouldn't have had as profound of an impact. it's a tragedy that i wished was a comedy.
and the main reason i'm giving it a 10: because it managed to deeply invest me in this story which doesn't play out the way you want. in doing so, it has a much larger effect on the viewer than it would otherwise. if it didn't, i wouldn't be writing this review.
but i'm still really mad about the ending. like really pissed.

Before I started this series just a few days ago, I actually went to check out the rating here on MAL. Upon seeing that it had one below 7, I was going to think twice about watching it, but I steeled myself and went ahead anyway. After the first few minutes, I thought of dropping it, 'cause there did not seem to be anything significant hooking me. However, I am now currently a pretty satisfied viewer of Waremete. I'm sure I would've regretted not watching, and would now be mocking the 'me' in another timeline for not doing it. (Yes, the reference xD)
[STORY: 8/10]
Let's just be honest. Any story which includes physics-related stuff and time travelling does confuse things. But confusion is good sometimes and this was one of em, in my opinion.

(This has been adapted from my reddit thread)
In our lifetime, we have seen manned missions to the moon, robots on Mars, and probes that are able to land on a meteor floating within our solar system. Incredible feats that may have seemed impossible to the people of the past. A hot topic in science fiction that deals with such reality and currently physical impossibilities is the idea of time travel. Can we head back in time to fix the past? Do such actions somehow affect the future? Does there seem to be an unbreakable chain of fate that time travel, no matter how much we want to, cannot erode? Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete attempts to explain the answers to these questions, but it's little more than a jumbled mess.

Ok, so I may be one of those run of the mill pseudo science , run of the mill harem and run of the mill romance. So, it was the possible Sou X Kaori arc that got me into this anime, so........here's my rating for this episode anime:
Story: Fair 6.
The plot where Yui is a girl from the future who was send to the past to prevent an impending accident to Kaori was pretty much a run of the mill, where the one of the concept was taken from a 2002 movie "The Time Machine," but, since it does present a certain mystery as to how Yui came to be and how her repeated attempts has affected the past really does make story likable, but not much.
Art: Poor 3.
Now the general illustration of the art was pretty much retro that such hue was not very good, it was just too old, also, there isn't enough…

Short review:
Slice of life that you would have thought it's just another typical harem anime, not it's not. It has tragedy time travel and romance.The first episodes will confuse you what the heck is happening then as you continue watching, the story goes like nothing happened. It all made sense later on and the anime ended with a conclusion which I guess is good.
Pros:
- unexpected genre shift
- characters are likable
- the drama is alright
- no bullshit like fanservice, fillers or other nonsense
- it has a conclusion Cons:
- everything in this anime is nothing new, as you've already saw in other anime's
- visuals looks outdated, like the early 2000's animation
- slice of life element may bore you
- execution of the story is not done well
- you may find the MC's goal trivial

For the big picture, I enjoyed Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete, yet when it came to the ending, it left me incredibly frustrated. It was nothing but an advertisement of the source material and the ending for the anime did not complete the route it decided to go down, which is the True End, and instead, decides to hang to leave people wondering to explore the source material. Only problem with that is, overseas audiences have no access to the source material. The whole advertisement for source material concept is flawed for overseas audiences considering we have no access to the source material, therefore leaving the story for us incomplete for a long time. Now to the anime review:
For an anime about parallel timelines, it setup the narrative really well and leaves details we don't understa…
