Scruff said: +1I didn't cry because the episode was too "in your face" with trying to make the audience cry. Way too melodramatic. It started out quite strong, but gradually weakened. |
| It shook me a bit but I didn't get teary eyed or anything. Then again, no anime has made me cry yet. |
| No i did not. Not better than Clannad , guy's who disagree.... i spit on you. |
 .. |
| I didn't. It was sad, but not to the edge. The anime was awesome though, I've got to admit. |
 |
| I didn't cry, but when the music began during those last scenes my heart throbbed. |
| Just because you didn't cry from an anime doesn't mean that the scenes were "forced" or that "it didn't do it's job" It just means that we all have things that can get to us and make us cry if it's a sensitive subject. |

| Forced melodrama shouldn't make people cry. |

taki_takaishi said: In my opinion, if a person did not at least have not shed a tear in any episode or at least felt that you are in this character it means you have not experience some things in life. Totally agree with you mate. Although that depends also on someone's sensitivity to be triggered easily by situations too. As for me, I'm proud to say I cried a lot here, especially when the OST Last Train Home kicks in. |

| Well, I watched AnoHana three days after a friend of mine died. I cried like a baby. |

| I might get some flack for this, but to not able to move on because of some crush when you were in middle-school is so stupid, and the fact that Jintan can't move on because of that BUT CAN for his mother's death is lame as ass. Can't overlook these details. I didn't cry, or hardly felt anything over that extremely bullshit of a character that is Menma. 8/10 |
 |
| I gave this anime 10/10, I teared up at the end. |
 |
| well i didn't cry but that doesn't mean i didn't connect with the show |

| I didn't cry as in tears rolling down my face/weeping, but I got as physically close to crying as I can: tears welling up in eyes, sniffling, chest tightening, etc. I can agree with those that say it was "forced", but what do you expect out of 11 episodes? I wish it was longer so that the story and characters could have more fully developed. This story really got me though because I could relate to Jinta, when I was 10 my dad died in an accident which I always felt like I could have made not happen and my younger brother died a couple years ago of brain cancer. These stories that involve spirits and their wish always get me for some reason(The Fuko story arc in Clannad being a great example). |

Not to give you flack, but I'd say the difference between the two cases would be A. His mother's death was something that he knew was coming over a long period, so while you can't just "get over it", there is some degree of acceptance. In Menma's case, it was completely unexpected and thus came as a severe shock. B. Probably the bigger issue is the amount of guilt associated with her death for him. He blamed himself at least partially for her death as it occurred after she ran after him following the incident in the clubhouse, not to mention the guilt and regret over his final words to her and the fact he never had the chance to apologize or share his true feelings with her. I will certainly give you the point that it was excessive that he became a recluse as a result of the two events. (Side note: pretty sure they were younger than middle school when she died). |
| i´m watching the ending again, gosh, its so emotional. Ha, i've cried a lot with this series, its great |
 |
| I was definitely tearing up, but holding it in. It's truly a sad story :( |
| All that crying in the last episode actually gave me the opposite effect. It got to the point where it just became unnecessarily narmy and annoying. |
 |
| ME Me. Me. Me. |

| To me the only remotely sad scene was the end of the first episode. The rest of the scenes were so forced that it was nearly impossible for me to feel any emotion from them. Quite honestly I think we just have a lot of overly sensitive people watching this show. |
| I teared up. But crying so far only happened in Clannad, Steins, Sakurasou, and I guess LB after this week's episode. |
| I definitely didn't, not because the ending wasn't sad, but because the characters were all retards throughout the entire series and I quite frankly couldn't help but not care about their troubles |
  |
| I did cry, but I think I kinda forced me to do so. Everyone was so touched about Ano Hana and I didn't want to be a heartless person so.. ;P |

| I'll be honest, my eyes did get watery. I guess it's because I can relate to this anime really well |

| It was forced drama due to a plothole and it was stupid. |
| Me... but not because it's not sad.. because i didn't have any tears remain to shed because i cried a lot before the last ep.. :p |
     |
| I didn't. I knew it was sad and that it was a moment to cry, and it was sad but it just wasn't strong enough to make me cry. I almost had tears though. Almost... |
| this anime is really touch my feel. love this series |

| I had...mixed feelings about the ending. Anime is all about over-dramatizing situations and emotions, though, and I thought AnoHana was fantastic despite that. While the last episode absolutely overdid it, the entire anime in general was so well done. |
| I don't see how the friends were over-dramatizing at the end. Well maybe most people can't relate to them that much but I can imagine the pain if you're somehow guilty of the death of someone very dear to you. All of them were good friends but in the end they, like most people, have selfish reasons and couldn't forgive themselves. Unlike most people though, they finally had the chance for a reprieve, to finally apologize and let go of the guilt that has haunt them for 10 years. I'm sure most people would cry as much as Super Peace Busters if they were ever put in the same situation. Poppo is the one that suffers the most. It mustn't have been easy, watching someone close to you die knowing that you could've prevented it. I don't blame him for being so emotional with Menma, I already knew something was terribly wrong with him when he first desperately asked Menma to say whatever wish she wants. |
 |
| I just finished this, and I didn't cry. It was undeniably sad, but I just don't cry over anime. No anime has made me cry yet. I've survived Clannad+AS, Angel Beats, and this lol. Nevertheless, it has become one of my favourite anime. |
