Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai.

Jinta Yadomi is peacefully living as a recluse, spending his days away from school and playing video games at home instead. One hot summer day, his childhood friend, Meiko "Menma" Honma, appears and pesters him to grant a forgotten wish. He pays her no mind, which annoys her, but he doesn't really care. After all, Menma already died years ago.

At first, Jinta thinks that he is merely hallucinating due to the summer heat, but he is later on convinced that what he sees truly is the ghost of Menma. Jinta and his group of childhood friends grew apart after her untimely death, but they are drawn together once more as they try to lay Menma's spirit to rest. Re-living their pain and guilt, will they be able to find the strength to help not only Menma move on—but themselves as well?

the whole show i was like why are they not testing her but ep 8 i also thought it was a one man show but how this whole story comes to an end is just......
.
.sad but great ...... and beautiful i enjoyed this very though i would not say it was not like Angel beats type of feelings for me but more like plastic memories .....as it tells how painful it can be lose a friend at a young age and as it develops the hidden feelings though i feel in the end it was a bit quick how they accepted there problems ....which i ... don't mind but just could been more other than that
.
loved the op specially the ed2 great songs..
.

Mixed Feelings

This show should have had a great deal of emotional impact and character focus. However for some reason the writers of it seemed to have never figured out how to make this work further than the premise.

What we get here is mostly static teenage characters being stuck in the past after emotional trauma, guilt and grief hit them, because they lost a close friend in their childhood days. It would have been amazing if we could have see these characters overcome these feelings, move on and grow over the cause of the show. And honestly that is about what you would expect out of something ... exploring these topics for 11 episodes.

But once again this show does not do that. Instead we get some insignificant slice of life comedy and drama while only in the very last two episodes the show seems to remember what it even was about in the first place.

To say this was disappointing or boring are huge understatements! This show is sadly a waste on every conceivable level. And I have no idea why that is the case, it's such a shame.

Funny

genuinely the most aggressively boring anime I've ever watched. I felt nothing but boredom while watching this. I can't call it a shit show cuz I wouldn't necessarily say its bad but holy is it nothing to note. I hate it so much for being so little. All humor in the show is cliche and safe, nothing funny was said the entire show. The cast of characters was mediocre at best and bad at worst. They all felt like watered down versions of stereotypical romcom characters. the plot was nothing revolutionary either. hiding behind loss of a loved one doesn't make up for the first ... half of the show being completely pointless especially considering the premise has been done a million times and at least 10 thousand times better than this. soooooo borring im getting bored just thinking about the show. tho i cant find anything terrible about the show besides how terribly okay it is so I am frustratingly forced to give it a five
