Yay everyone came back for a reunion, though somewhat a little downside. Poppa still made the episode a lot better, as well as getting everyone together about seeing the other Menma ghost. Damn, felt sorry for Jintan's mom and lost her. Anaru with her hair down, so cute. Also Jintan's mom to :D.

That ending scene though when Yukiatsu saw "Menma" I hope he is telling the truth.

Jintan is a lot like me: he has semi-long hair, loves gaming, and skips a crap-ton of school.

Wow so Yukiatsu can actually see Menma. Hmm I wonder what's gonna happen next. Also Anaru's friends are total bitches and I don't like them.

I guess Yukiatsu didn't really saw Menma, he only said that to make Jin-tan jealous and/or mad.

It look like Jin-tan is getting slowly closer and more interrested in Anaru. Or it's just the hormones flowing :P

Menma is hilarious. ''Maybe Menma will see Menma ghost too?'', you dummy xD

I wonder what Poppo saw though. Menma seemed really sure that she never got out of the house.

Anyway, just to think how the situation was 2 episodes ago, things sure have advanced.

god Tsurumi is such a jerk to everyone, how does she even manage to have friends?
so Jintan and Poppo can see Menma but Yukiatsu is either joking or he's serious.

This sure was interesting, but I wonder how they'll manage to turn this into a "tearjerker". The OP and ED are both great and fit the show perfectly.

I feel bad for Tsurumi, Yukki's got it bad for menma.

Also if menma can interact with objects then why doesn't she just touch everyone and have Jinta explain it to them.

Poppo is hilarious. What I wonder is if that was "our" Menma up there. Maybe it's a different one?

I lol'd@ Menma wanting to find her own ghost. She's also getting good at abusing the "wish" thing. xD

I'm not sure if Yukiatsu actually saw Menma, or if he just said that in an attempt to be nice to Jinta. He didn't seem ill natured about it, in any case.

I've been thinking that the Menma Jinta sees is the "real" one, since she seems to be able to interact with stuff like doors and can even cook. We even saw her doing stuff by herself, so it wouldn't make sense for her to simply be a hallucination. If that's so, though, why doesn't she try to do stuff to the others like she does to Jinta? Sure, they might not see her, but if they could feel her tugging on them, it'd be harder for them to deny it.

That was a nice lighthearted episode overall. :)

It occurred to me this episode that Anaru is frichen hot.

The characters are slowly growing on me as well. Especially Anaru. Perhaps because she is hot.

For both "Toradora!" and "AnoHana":
Director: Tatsuyuki Nagai
Sound Director: Jin Aketagawa
Script Writer: Mari Okada
Character Designer: Masayoshi Tanaka

I just realized all the similarities this episode and had to search it up.

This is probably common knowledge to most, but I was not aware that this was the product of the same team of people 3 years after "Toradora!".

Just pointing it out ,the dish that poppo made is called "kheer" and not "keel" because many subs wrote it as "keel".
This episode was meh compared to first episode but was better than the second episode. Can't wait to see the truth about the ghost.

So Yukiatsu can also see Menma, and Hisakawa also caught a 'glimpse', i wonder what influences that, maybe some strong loss or sadness at her passing, cause it looks like Yukiatsu keeps a similar dress she wears in his closet. Tsuruko was really cold btw, good luck turning her around. I was pretty sure Menma's wish would be to have the whole gang together again, maybe she wants them as friends like before, that's why nothing happened when they gathered now.

I have a feeling her "wish" will be for Jintan (or maybe even everyone else) to finally let go of Menma and to move on without her. It seems Jintan is having the hardest time doing this tho, which is probably why he can see her. If I'm right, I'm gonna cry. Then what if at the end, he finally does let go, and then she disappears for good? AHhh that'll be a dramatic ending. Slowly getting more and more intrigued.

Menma is the most adorable thing ever! I laugh everytime she uses "That might be Menma's wish" as an excuse.
Also, Anaru needs to get some new friends.

Hmm, so Menma's "ghost" is slowly appearing to everyone else? Either way, nice of Jinta to try and go to school but I guess that doesn't quite work out ... at least Poppo is taking the initiative to get everyone together. I'm really curious about Yukiatsu and Turuko's relationship, they're ... friends? I mean what's with them looking at hair scrunchies together? O_o I noticed Anaru had one this episode but smehow I don't think that's where that's going lol. Also Tsuruko and Anaru. I really am liking her! Especially what she said at the end for wearing that dress (she looked super cute btw!!!) and for her wanting to be scolded ... that takes guts huh :P Plus we see Jinta's mom died as well (though I could kinda guess really), and his dad doesn't really bug him about not going to school which is a bit surprising to me. Anyway I was surprised that everyone actually showed up - I guess Anaru I can understand, and Tsuruko seems to me like she doesn't really have strong feelings one way or the other and Yukiatsu's still got that fixation on Menma it seems ... OK, I guess I can see why they all showed up XD It seems like everyone's pretty comfortable with each other though which is pretty different than the last two episodes. Well either way, I wonder if Menma really will appear to all of them or not ... but they all got together so that's at least one step towards them granting her "wish" (also good on Jinta calling her out on using that to get him to do what she wants XD)

This show hurts so much to watch. Like, I might have to take a break at some point if shit continues to hit the fan harder and harder.

Great writing, but damn, this hits me hard on a personal level (I haven't cried this much since the second Kyoukai no Kanata movie, but at least it isn't a lake of tears). Like Kuzu no Honkai, I feel worse with each passing episode.

It's just the 3rd episode and Poppo successfully got them all together~ Anaru should stop hanging out with her bitchy friends kek

I thought that Yukiatsu was browsing the scrunchies so he can give it to Anaru as a gift since she wears something like that but the possibility of him being the "Menma ghost" is too high after reading the possibilities in here. I'm pretty sure that was a trick considering his character so far though.

It's funny that Jinta is the only person Menma can move while when she jumps on the other people, they just feel a slight weight lmao

I almost cried at Jinta's mom's scene but when I thought that I survived through it at the end, the ED played and the tears came rolling ;-; So nostalgic and sad...

O. So Jinta's dad ISN'T ghey? Haha, oops xD He was so flamboyant and called errthang cute that I thought he might have been. Maybe he just became more feminine to fill in his waifu's motherly part? :3

lol Yukiatsu is too jelly ^^' His ass needs to calm down hahah. I guess him sniffing Menma's dress unleashed his Menma radar XDDD

Megane proved me wrong. I thought she'd be the most difficult one to round up lmao but she got on board pretty quickly ;P
