Haha! I wish Anaru would've given them a good punch in their "pretty" faces, but no, she had to agree with them... in a way. :/
Speaking of her, it seems she heard everyone complaining about her hairstyle in the previous thread so she went and changed it. :P

This episode went by so fast. When the credits started I was just going, "What? It's over already?"

And suddenly everyone and their uncle can see Menma. Well, Yukiatsu is probably lying. And who didn't know Yukiatsu would be the one to show up with all the food?

Edit: You know, Poppo's seiyuu kind of looks like Poppo. o.O

This is hands down my favorite anime of the season! My theory is that Yukiatsu can't really see her, but his desperation is making him think he can, or something along those lines. I have a feeling Yukiatsu is gonna be a yandere type character... as for what Poppo saw I have no idea :| If it really WAS a ghost then wouldn't "Supernatural" be a genre for this show too? xD

The ED single came out a few days ago, here's the full ending song : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aOXKpaV44I
It's really good, but I think I still prefer the original ZONE version the best. But no matter the version, this song is always so emotional.

I thought that Jinta's dad was gay before they explained that Jinta's mom died...lol

Anaru looks great with her hair down. Her friends are jerks though, it's a shame she gives in so easily to peer pressure.

And my theory is that it's Yukiatsu who was dressed as Menma...given that he has a watch and Menma's dress. It would be super creepy if he was dressing up as Menma and going in the woods though..I kind of hope I'm not right.

And wow, the episode felt like 5 minutes when I was watching it. Good shows always seem to end so fast. ;_;

like what i felt [on Anaru] XD saved my time since u posted this XD
btw, it's a bit weird, they went for BBQ, and in the 1st part of the ep they showed Poppo peeing nearby, it's surprising they didn't realise the stench X)

what if they all can see Menma ... a different Menma? multiple ghosts? the bitch seemed a little better. Yukiatsku still seems really creepy. The dress, and now buying gifts for a girlfriend ... "Menma". either he's seeing his own ghost or he's pretending and is just a really weird guy.

Anjou is a bro and all but she needs to ditch the bitch friends.

Her wish was to see her ghost. That ones just a little crazy, but funny. I almost wanted to cry when Menma was crying at the end. Yukiatsu is obviously lying about seeing Menma. He has to make up lies about seeing her. How sad.

also, jintan keeps on blushing whenever he sees anaru... i thought he liked menma. @ A @

Oh man...this is pretty creepy. So far it looks like he blames Jinata for causing her death and he's gonna troll him badass, and then screw with him. Since it seemed to me he had a crush on Menma as well or cross-dressing might be his way of dealing with Menma's death. This show is so interesting and emotional! I can't wait for next week man.

This show is really doing a good job with the character drama. It seems like everyone is affected in different ways and they're all definitely emotionally scarred.

This whole ordeal with Yukiatsu dressing up as Menma really took the cake though. Then again I guess the death of a loved one can do that to you. It's about time Noitamina got a great show again and with the current pre-order rankings it looks like it will be one of the better sellers since that time slot was alloted.

Easily the best this season.
The character interactions that drive this series just continue to entertain and amuse me.
I can't wait to see what's coming up.
Story is progressive faster than I thought it would.
Episode 3 and the Super Peace Busters are already assembled.
Thought they would play the relationship tensions a little more.

Yukiatsu is obviously just trying to be like Jin-tan, because in his mind he wants to feel as important to Menma as Jin-tan was. He's blatantly obsessed with her.

I wouldn't be surprised if he actually has a shrine in his cupboard dedicated to her, it would explain why he always follows that blue haired girl to women's accessory stores.

I actually feel sorry for Yukiatsu...if he really is cross-dressing as Menma, then this is kind of messed up...but quite sad at the same time...i guess the death of a loved person could do that to you & people deal with things in different ways, that's understandable, but he still needs help...i think.

And Yukiatsu takes a turn for the worse. He's buying stuff for Menma? And walks around dressed as Menma? >_> Though if it's Tsuruko walking around dressed up as Menma, that's still equally bad.
Also, Anaru with her hair down ヽ(´ー`)ノ

I don't want to completely rule out Yukiatsu cross dressing as Menma, because there are quite a lot of obvious hints. But it does seem a little out of character.

What I think would be a much believable storyline would be if in an ironic twist, it was Yukiatsu who is having a Menma hallucination. I also think it's inevitable that he either witnessed Menma's death or had some sort of cause, the flashback that Yukiatsu had in the second episode where we saw Menma in front of a river, and we even caught a glance of her sandle in the same scene is enough proof for me.

Either way, they're certainly setting-up Yukiatasu to have clear psychological disorders. I can't wait until he finally loses himself and gets mad at Jintan for being the one that Menma loves, because towards the end of the episode when Yukiatsu told Jintan that "he's not the only one who can see Menma", there was definitely some competitiveness and jealousy at that point.

This show has so much drama, I'm in love with it.

Oh dear, Yukiatsu is completely mad. I feel kinda bad for him, but it's really creepy too.

Another beautiful episode. I'm surprised to see them together so soon, since I thought them getting back together was Menma's wish. Suppose it's something else though. Secret Base is just an amazing song, it makes me feel like crying.
