Uhm, I'm a bit confused about why Jintan thought what would happen if the others saw Menma and if he would be better off without seeing her.

Are Japanese schools like that when a student is seen in a situation like Anju's? And no sight of her mother. Naruko should just get rid of her two friends. Awful people.

Is that really a thing where if a school heard a rumour like that they'd bring you into the office to question you? Is it just like a protection thing to make sure you aren't involved in anything dangerous?

That "School! AAAAAAAHHHH" moment at the start of the episode was so funny. And it was refreshing to see a genuine nose bleed in an anime for once. They still made a joke about it in the end but still.

Pretty good episode. The way the school was talking about Anjou had me feeling angry but Jinta swooped in and stood up for her! What a great guy! A thought occurred to me and I realized that if Jinta had not gone to school that day, Anjou would have been left all alone and she would have been bombarded with rumors and gossip. I'm glad he made up his mind. Anjou is my favorite so far I think.

The part where Menma was explaining to Jinta almost made tear up a little. She felt angry towards Jinta for visiting her parents house because she thought that it would bring up bad memories for her family. Menma wanted her family to forget her so they could not feel anymore pain about the fact that she passed away, and thats the part that hit me hard. It made me think about life in general and wonder what kind of emotional impact we would leave behind once we die. Is it wrong to want to be forgotten? Would you want to be remembered even though it causes pain for our loved ones?

It was nice to see Jinta standing up for Anaru at school. I know how it feels to be wrongly accused for something and be talked about for it at school. At least she had somebody who could help her there.

Also it's strange to see Hamtaro and One Piece (from the previous episode) being referenced by their actual names, and yet have Pokémon be parodied. Also what the hell was with the random nosebleed thing at the end? I guess the staff thought the episode had gotten a bit too heavy for people or something?

that ending ftw.

nothing really happens in this episode although it was enjoyable nonetheless.
i really wanted more on the diary instead though.

respect for jinta when defending anaru.

That was a good move from Jinta when everyone just kept talking about Anaru like she was some kind of whore. How disrespectful, especially seeing that they only heard it and had no proof or evidence. Also, it might be just me, but does it make sense that somebody saw her near the love hotel and somehow summed up that it was a student of that school? I mean, she wasn't even wearing her uniform. But yeah, good move from Jinta there.

I found Menma's mother expressions to be... intriguing. I'm not sure what it is, but she wasn't fully happy or sad when they came over. Especially that scene with Jinta looking back at her mother's face, I think that was a hint.

Seems like Yukiatsu and Tsuruko realised what could be an important piece of information, that Menma had gathered them that day to ask for advice. It seems everybody else forgot this.

anjou's class talking about her almost made me almost cry, and her trying to distract herself by writing what she's thinking seriously pushed me but jintan saying "LOOK AT ME" was just so much of a shock. chad move btw. that was great, him trying to distract the class from talking abt anjou. looks like anjou's friends are also worried? still dislike them but whatever. jintan yelling at menma at the end was great too

Not gonna lie the scene with menma wishing that her mother forgot her really got me in the feels. It's so sad to see someone who has died wishing that her mother would abandon any memory of her, all of her. The joy, the sadness, the whole experience just gonel.

A ton of anime cliches this ep.. -_-. Although i'm convinced Menma just wants everyone's guilt about her to go away

i felt that a lot of the mystery in this show is connected to the events in this episode. wonder really how the anime will goes from here.

jintan is the man lol. though the scene in the class was bit cliche.

menma is just too much complex character.

Jinta tries going back to school and messes up again, but I'm glad he tried to defend Anaru as much as he can because she doesn't deserve to be made fun of. Truly a great friend.
