Synopsis

Jinta Yadomi is peacefully living as a recluse, spending his days away from school and playing video games at home instead. One hot summer day, his childhood friend, Meiko "Menma" Honma, appears and pesters him to grant a forgotten wish. He pays her no mind, which annoys her, but he doesn't really care. After all, Menma already died years ago.

At first, Jinta thinks that he is merely hallucinating due to the summer heat, but he is later on convinced that what he sees truly is the ghost of Menma. Jinta and his group of childhood friends grew apart after her untimely death, but they are drawn together once more as they try to lay Menma's spirit to rest. Re-living their pain and guilt, will they be able to find the strength to help not only Menma move on—but themselves as well?

Background

Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. reunites the lead production staff of the 2008 anime series Toradora! It was first teased in December 2010 as a joint production of Aniplex, Fuji Television, and animation studio A-1 Pictures under the title AnoHana Project. The series is set in the city of Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture.

The first Blu-ray volume, which went on sale on June 29, 2011, sold more than 31,000 copies in the first week of release. At the time, that first week sales figure was the third highest for a first volume Blu-ray release of a television anime, after Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica (2011) and K-On! (2009). AnoHana received a Jury Selection award in the Animation division of the 15th Japan Media Arts Festival.

A visual novel adaptation for the PlayStation Portable, which diverges from the story of the anime and contains an original ending, was developed by Guyzware and published by 5pb. on August 30, 2012. AnoHana was also adapted into a special live-action television drama, which aired on Fuji Television on September 21, 2015.

Mixed Feelings
It's short and sweet. Great starter anime. Not a cliché ending but it brings tears to your eyes no matter how many times you've seen it. It's on its 11th anniversary now and it's playback quality is amazing.

I really enjoyed how touching this show was. It really covered the idea of getting to day one last thing to that one person. I also really liked how we got to know each character and how they were related to ...

Characters:

Menma is pedobait, typical pussy cuck NEET MC, Naruko is cute and her arc seems to revolve around hanging out with sluts and becoming one herself to cope with Meiko’s death, we also got fat hobo NEET, studious glasses girl who’s crush sadly only has eyes for ghost loli then last but not least said crush Atsumu who’s by far the best character.

Story:

Dogshit soap opera, the crossdressing Atsumu reveal was pure kino though. Every episode just involves childhood friends crying over dead loli or Atsumu being based (crossdressing, lusting after dead loli, being an asshole stuff like that). There’s no substance whatsoever just dumb ...
