One Week Friends is a heartwarming anime that follows the story of a high school student named Yuki Hase, who finds himself drawn to a classmate named Kaori Fujimiya. However, he is initially hesitant to approach her because she seems distant and unapproachable. Yuki eventually learns that Kaori has a strange condition - every Monday, she loses all of her memories of her friends and acquaintances. This means that she cannot remember anything about Yuki or anyone else in their class, which makes it difficult for her to form any meaningful relationships.

Despite this challenge, Yuki is determined to get to know Kaori and help her overcome her condition. He starts by inviting her to have lunch with him every day, hoping to build a connection with her that will last beyond a week.

As Yuki spends more time with Kaori, he learns more about her past and the reasons behind her memory loss. He also discovers that she has a kind heart and a deep love for her friends, despite her difficulties in forming lasting relationships.

One of the show's strengths is its portrayal of Yuki's determination to help Kaori. He is a genuinely kind and caring character who is willing to put in the time and effort to be there for her, even when things get tough. His efforts to befriend Kaori are touching and his desire to understand her condition is admirable.

Another highlight of the show is the relationship between Yuki and Kaori. Their friendship is born out of a shared desire to be there for each other, and their interactions are heartwarming and genuine. Despite the obstacles they face, they never give up on each other and remain steadfast in their support for one another.

The animation quality of One Week Friends is generally good, with bright, colorful visuals that capture the spirit of the show's lighthearted tone. The character design is simple yet effective and the backgrounds are well-detailed.

The voice acting is also excellent, with Yoshitaka Yamaya and Sora Amamiya delivering standout performances as Yuki and Kaori, respectively. Their chemistry is palpable and their interactions feel natural and authentic.

One potential drawback of the show is its slow pace. The plot is relatively simple and the show takes its time in developing the characters and their relationships. Some viewers may find this pace too slow and may lose interest in the show as a result.

Overall, One Week Friends is a sweet and heartfelt anime that explores the power of friendship and the importance of connection. While it may not be the most action-packed or fast-paced show out there, it is a perfect choice for viewers who enjoy shows that focus on developing relationships and exploring the human experience.
