| To be quite honest. I was a bit carried away by Jinta crying with the Dog of Flanders lie and the a bit of the last part more on Jinta really. That was emotional. |
Gradation said: Almost cried at the end of the episode, when the ED started playing to add to the mood. Could tell that my eyes were starting to get watery. I can already tell that the ending of this series will get to me. I was about to cry myself. |
 |
| Just wow, this ep gave me goosebumps. The emotion in this anime touched me so deeply. |
| So tear jerking, all the emotional breakdowns and frustrations. It put me in to tears. |
| I had to comment after watching this episode... I don't know why, but I felt like crying toward the end, particularly when the ED start playing... I'm really loving this show right now... |

| I loved this episode! All the pivotal moments and the tearjerkers acutally made me cry a bit T__T The ending really got me though now that everyone believes in Jintan. Overall, This episode was simply amazing. |
  |
| Ah man, such a good episode, and Anjou finally said it. |
| That confession was something. So dramatic. Gotta feeling they will turn AnoHana into a live action drama. |
 |
| Well, what a lot of drama! I like'd how Jinta and Menma's brother had a talk in this episode. They should invite him to the super secret base for an evening sometime! That'd be nice for everyone! Also, Menma's mum was just messed up. Unsurprising really! And poor Aneru, finally (sort of) confesses to Jinta, and he wanders off! Ouch! |
 |
| I already have given this series a 10, I wish I could give it more. Why did Jintan keep his back turned toward Anaru? Because he couldn't have controlled himself if he looked at her. Remember how he intervened in the classroom to sacrifice himself for her as the rumours swirled around. He decided earlier in this episode that he would have to fulfil Menma's wish himself, and that means leaving even if Anaru still loves him (and lots of evidence for that in earlier episodes). More revelations to come. Two more characters' secrets to reveal. And yes, most emotional series since Clannad AS.... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Just give me a minute to take everything in and calm myself. What a powerful episode. It had my heart going, no doubt about it. Thank goodness Menma cleared up any kind of misunderstandings. Looking forward to the next! |
| This episode was very emotional :( I was watching it with my friend, and we felt the atmosphere the episode brought. I'm finally glad that Memna did something that can prove she's there, but great episode :) |
| 「Icon credit to Milady666 ♡」 |
| So Menma can do shit like this but they wait 8 fucking episodes (~75% of the anime) to do that... lame. It's like they don't have any idea of what they're doing or maybe Jintan & Menma are just plain STUPID. What a trainwreck this anime has turned out to be... |
| Even though no one is going to read this, I have to add that Poppo's face at Menma's diary and what was written there gave me true goosebumps. And I rarely get goosebumps. EXCELLENT JOB STUDIO! |
| i was nearly going to yell "shit!" Menma decided to help Jintan to prove it (i will ignore why she did not do it earlier), this twist totally shadow Anaru's confession... the guessing is over, she really exist, i am watching a supernatural show 3 more eps to grant her wish |
| Man -- tear jerking episode! ;u; Anyways, Menma's mom is officially&psychologically messed up now. I feel so bad for everyone now - she'll never, ever forgive them for Menma's death. That's superly messed up. Because, they didn't go "Oh, let's trip Menma/have Menma run fast and fall into the river. Yeah!" But, oh well. *sigh* And, the emotional parts were so well done. But, I have a feeling I will be needing Kleenex by the 11th episode... |
| Why doesn't menma proove her existence with trowing stuff, making stuff hover etcetera. She did sort of now, but huge plothole right here |
arnxx said: Why doesn't menma proove her existence with trowing stuff, making stuff hover etcetera. She did sort of now, but huge plothole right here Not really, I think was a last ditch effort. Maybe she wanted to believe that the Super Peace Busters would stay together without her intervention? At least as a kid she seemed to believe they would stay together through thick and thin. So, no, I don't see it as a plot hole in the least. Amazing series. |

At least as a kid she seemed to believe they would stay together through thick and thin. So, no, I don't see it as a plot hole in the least. Amazing series. But she just intervened, and pretty much proved her existance to the group. And she was also crying before because she couldn't "talk" with the rest of the group as well, which she obviously can, at least through writing. I was hoping for Menma to be an illusion, but I guess we can pretty much assume that she i actually a ghost by now, and that she can interact with the enviroments. In which case I find it hard to believe why everyone just doesn't sit down together and communicate with each other, like through writing for example. I'm starting to dislike this series now, the characters are just too much for me and I find it difficult to take them seriously. Their lives just revolve way too much around Menma (even when they had no proof of ghost-Menma). I like the Yadomi X Anjou parts, but the rest I don't really care for that much. |
| She could've done all this earlier... Brilliant episode.Yukiatsu was LOVE. |
 |
i was a bit disappointed on how cliche the plot is going to basing from the previous episodes... and for the first time, why the heck on this episode, tears fell from my eyes without even realizing it O_O |
| YUSH!!! THEY'VE FIGURED IT OUT! FINALLY. Why didn't Menma do that before?! xD - She could have talked to them.. I think that part is a little unreasonable. It was probably only introduced now for dramatic effect but it doesn't help the plot hole very much. I don't like when things like this happen, but I do think that Menma still wouldn't have been believable until this point in the story. I find it a little unbelievable that Menma is the main focus of everyone's lives (as someone had said before) but seriously guys. Say your best friend when you were smaller and whom you had loved (Jinta's POV) died. How could you forget that? Every single one of them is guilty for it. Guilt doesn't go away that easily. Love this!!! Now they can work together :) But that means the series is coming to a close D; Well, it's awesome, purely awesome. Can't wait for the finale :3 5/5 - Depending on the ending, I'll figure out if "Ano hi mita hana.." gets a 10! I cried when they were all fighting.. and then Menma pops up and fixes everything. She epitomizes the true heroine of this show :). |

| This episode made me happy. |
| Dayummmmmm. I didn't even feel that I was crying already O_O Probably best episode so far :D So many climatic scenes happened :3 I'm even getting goosebumps to the posts in these thread because of the awesomeness of this episode :'D I don't really care right now about some easy to spot holes in the plot. Maybe it has a deeper meaning or something :P oh well. NEXT! |
   |
| wow, i got a bit emotional this episode, lol |
     |
| this ep is exploding with emotion, i feel so good watching this, its just put together so beautifully :') |
| this episode was so great very touching :D i hope now everyone will believe that she does exist and stop treating jinta like some crazy liar. all those tears had me in tears. great episode again just amazing :P |

| True, she could've just communicate with everyone through her writing haha. Sooooo touching at the last part ;_; |
| This was an exciting episode. Although, she could've just done that earlier. |
 |
| This was literally the first episode I have really started crying and getting those tingly feelings for this series. I'm glad because I was waiting for them. Honestly, the mom's reactions were realistic and I felt really bad for her, and I feel sorry for Menma's lil bro. It's really hard on the whole lot of them. But I am relieved Menma finally made her presence known! |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| They finally know! |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| Just bawled because of the ending. Still bawling. Not fair. |
 "It's just...a bad dream! Wake up, wake up...!" |
| They FINALLY believe Jintan. I wonder why on Earth she didn't do that before. |

| Awesomish, Finally Menma showed her presence to others as well :) note> This anime si too good. i'm gonna have to stay up till late night today coz i can't stop watching ... i bet i will have hard time to fall asleep even after i finish it .. :) Sent with Mal Updater |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| Wow, it only took her 8 episodes out of 11 to finally try to prove the others that she really 'exists'... I know it's for the impact, but this is ridiculous >_> She could have just pick up something and drop it down like what, 6 episodes before? That could have saved many episodes of unnecessary fighting... Whatever, let's see how it turns out in the last 3 episodes, though I can already guess the outcome. |
 |
| I feel sad for Anaru during her confession... :( The cryings in this episode really made me sad (by Anaru, Jintan, Yukiatsu).... Oh, finally! Finally! She did something to tell people of her 'existence'! I wonder why she did not just do that ages ago... |
 |
| Damn that ending made me really cry, finally they believe him... |
 |
| Menma revealing herself and Anaru's confession pretty much made this show for me. Amazingly done. I'm doing a marathon run of this show and I don't regret it at all. |
 |
Cirris said: He then tried to blame it on some stupid story/show and just starts balling. Good summary of the episode, but A Dog of Flanders isn't a stupid story/show :) It's widely read in Japan, and has been adapted into several films and anime :) |
| Finally. That is all. |
 |
| Finally, the group believes that the existence of Menma isn't make believe. Now hopefully Yukiatsu won't be so hard on Jinta anymore. |
