If I didn't know that there are more episodes I would think this is short story, but it looks like a nice anime :)
I like this Naruko is she in love with Jinta?
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´。✪ω✪。`)

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Wow, Menma was so annoying. Screaming "JINTAAAN" every few seconds really began to get on my nerves. I hope she gets better over the next few episodes (and hopefully there's less loli fanservice too. Yuck).

An anime series Ive been planning to watch eventually for a long time. Not perfect, but actually, a good start. I have eventually turned kind of inmune to "feels" anime and manga, but I won´t get that ruin this experience for me.

I have no idea why there's so many recommendations between this and Angel Beats, but hey, I guess time to finally find out.

I literally just watched this sometime after finishing A Whisker Away, so it really does feel like both were written by the same writer here. It feels redundant for the episode to slowly show us that Menma is actually dead when it was already pretty obvious from the start as well as that fact being shown up whenever you look this up anywhere (even on this site), and A Whisker Away had this same kind of issue. Either it's the marketing's fault or maybe it's my fault for not going into this show right away or seeing a brief synopsis beforehand, I guess.

Anyway, at least this seems nicely animated and some of the background piano music sounds neat. Menma's kinda cute but she sure seems kinda pushy... if you know you're already dead, then why are you acting in ways that will make Jinta react in suspiciously in front of other people? I guess Menma doesn't care about that? :P

It's interesting that she is not seen by others but see can touch things. I wonder if horror would also be one of the elements in the story, then things would get pretty much scary.

I just started watching this, can somebody explain to me without using spoilers why people say the first episode of Ano Hana is bad? I thought this was perfectly fine.

Medicore first episode. Menma is probably the most annoying character I've seen in a while so far. Hope it's getting better, I have still high hopes for the anime

I already know there's going to be a lot of tears and heartbreak in this one.

I already started tearing up seeing flashbacks of what happened.

But my eyes really did water when Menma visited her family, and her mother is giving curry to her shrine. And her brother seems annoyed by it, and that made it hurt even more.

Damn, this is going to be a ride. It's been some time since I've watched a quality anime.

I didnt expect the feels to attack me on the first episode... I guess the ratings are pretty good for a reason... This is a 11 - 12 year old anime yet it hits right in mah soul

very much liked what i saw. i got [good] vibes of "cross game" with the kid from the childhood effecting everyone's life. and what a surprise, the death seems the same lol

my only complain is, if menma will shout "jintan" again ... ><

its kinda meh, and its def not as good as my friend hyped it up to be. It could also possibly be because this is still only the first ep, gonna power through it all though

I was hesitant to start this series at first because I felt it was going to be a cringy mess, but I'll give it a chance. The first episode honestly was a nice introduction into the main cast and the main objective of the series. The soundtrack is solid and I can see potential in it. The animation is amazing and seeing that A1 made it knowing that they made Erased I have hope.
