Now lets dive into something different with a visual novel anime called We Without Wings.
We Without Wings or Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai if you prefer, focuses on the lives of three male protagonists named Takashi, Shusuke & Hayato respectively.
Takashi is a shy student whose illness seems to send him to a fantasy world where he's a noble knight.
Shusuke is a part timer for the Alexander restaurant as well as a freelance book reviewer.
And finally Hayato is a so called fixer, who is part of a night time gang, although he doesn't exactly choose to be with them they just seem to turn up.
Each story seems to progress normally as Takashi tries to get by with a high functioning girlfriend as well as getting over his own shyness, Shusuke gets dragged into the struggles of an amateur writer of whom he wrote a review about, while Hayato gets reluctantly dragged into a gang warfare while locating a girl's bike. Despite the stories being very different to each other, they are somehow connected as all three characters seem to know a young girl who they seem to all live with.
The anime was originally a visual novel from the makers of Shuffle which tells us very quickly what kind of anime to expect but what it doesn't tell you is how well the story works; the individual stories worked on their own and could've continued working that way without the big twist mid series or the forced fan service which at times borders on uncomfortable.
I find that a shame, at the moment I'm at a crossroads with anime in general, as I believe 80% of anime have run out of ideas and popular shows are over hyped but the other 20% which includes this anime still keep me going and while it did end up throwing logic out the window, I still came away with a good experience which I can take to future shows.
Final Verdict: If you can stomach the poor attempts at fan service then you'll enjoy the story We Without Wings has to offer. The dub is normal and the art is incredible as is standard with a visual novel anime and you even get some decent comedy even if some of it is a bit random.
