Shradow Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 [center][img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c6/AnoHana_DVD_vol_1.jpg[/img][/center] [color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3]A group of six childhood friends drift apart after one of them, Meiko "Menma" Honma, dies in an accident. Ten years after the incident, the leader of the group, Jinta Yadomi, has withdrawn from society and lives as a recluse. One summer day, the ghost of an older looking Menma appears before him and asks to have a wish granted, reasoning that she cannot pass on into the afterlife until it is fulfilled. Since Menma does not remember what her wish is, Jinta gathers his estranged friends together once again, believing that they are the key to resolving this problem. However, hidden feelings, internal conflicts, and lingering feelings of bitterness from Menma's parents result in complications for the group as they struggle to help not only Menma move on, but themselves as well.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3]I've started watching this in anime club, and while I've only seen 3 episodes so far, I'm really enjoying it. I have a feeling this anime will make my sad by the end, though.[/size][/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flinsbon Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I tear up when anime gets sad, but i generally don't/can't cry (not sure why i don't). Last year at my dorm we did anime nights friday and saturday and the guy that brought the anime showed us this anime right after Clannad >___> SO MUCH DEPRESSION anyway, ano hana is very good. also, Secret Base - Kimi ga Kureta Mono is srsly one of the best songs from an anime out there imo (it's the ending song). o, and Menma's seiyuu sings it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 It's sung by the other girls' seiyuu as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
