I guess I was expecting too much.
6 August 2018 | by yogeshxlr8 – See all my reviews

Meh. I guess I was expecting another your name. I watched the English version and first two stories didn't really invoke any reaction. Third was the best of the trio, but narration was just... You sometimes have to let the people feel themselves.
