Beautiful T_T She showed herself to the group.
It's hard for Menma's mother to forgive them, but they are already sad, no need to hate them :/

Wow, Menma's mom went psycho on the gang after the death of her daughter. She must really have a grudge against them after all these years. Creepy...

Anaru FINALLY confessed her feelings to Jintan lol

Jintan crying then Menma made me cry :(

They FINALLY believed Jintan AFTER he convinced them that Menma is still here with them. I mean, you guys should have believed him from the very beginning lol

the scene with menma's mother was sad. like we all got caught up with her wish but forgot about what her parents must be feeling. ://

the almost fight with jintan was intense and easily the highlight of the episode. just as i was thinking why couldn't menma just write a note for everyone she writes in her diary!!

8 episodes.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Not only are Jin and Menma retarded, but so is everyone else. Why the FUCK did nobody mention "Hey Menma, write something down." or "Hey Menma, flicker the lights".

Don't get me wrong, I'm relieved that this finally happened but this drama was so fucking unnecessary.

good episode. The only plot hole that has been bugging me this whole series is the fact that menma could've shown her existence really really easily.

After this episode, I kind of get the feeling that Menma didn't want to before - or rather, she didn't see the need to. She took for granted that all her old friends would believe Jintan when he claimed she existed (or that he'd use peace-buster-leader-powers!! to make them believe), and it wasn't until she heard Poppo talking about it that the necessity of revealing herself really hit her.


Well, I guess you are right.
I would believe Jintan if he told me that he can see Menma. I mean, it sounds silly but I like things like that.
Jintan's dad is so cool. I'm pretty sure that it will be Jintan x Anaru and Yukiatsu x Tsuruko at the end.

Menma finally proved that she actually exists. Her mother is blaming her daughter's friends for her death. Such a good episode, I wonder how they'll make Menma's wish come true.

The ending song is really beautiful and fit well with the end scene. I almost teared up.

Menma's mom is scary. Also I feel bad for Anaru... what Jintan did was basically reject her.

Also yeah... she needed 8 episodes to convince her friends? Why not throw the cup. That'd definitely make them believe she's there. If she can cook, I bet she can also throw knifes around. That'd be convincing and no drama needed.

Ahh, so Menma finally revealed herself to them. I've always been wondering why she didn't reveal herself to them. Also, what would happen if Jintan sat on Menma? Would it look like he's sitting on air, since Menma's not transparent? Great episode. The feels are starting to finally kick in C:

Really? It took them eight episodes to figure out how to make Menma reveal herself? They couldn't just ask Menma to, oh I don't know, do something that proves her existence?

Are they mentally challenged?

Yeah so first thing's first ... sorry Menma, but you're pretty stupid for waiting so long to do something like this lol -_-" I mean, I won't say it "wasted" 8 episodes but makes the plot pretty weak for nobody believing Jinta at this point :P Oh well, I guess this show is probably more for the characters than the plot anyway, but I'm kinda disappointed because I'd been enjoying it so far and was expecting another reason why Menma didn't interact to show herself to the others as of yet. What I liked about this episode episode was exploring how Menma's parents felt - obviously her mom wasn't happy about her daughter being the only one dying on that day and well, I can't really say her resentment is unthinkable lol. Must've been really hard on her, and her son as a result. Poor guy huh, he basically doesn't exist in the family :( Poor Anaru too, I really respect her for having the guts to tell Jinta how she feels but she just gets ignored ... man what a mess. Jinta's dad was pretty cool this episode too lol

Finally the episode where everyone becomes aware of her presence. It´s getting real now. But it´s always more bitter than sweet when animes good as this is close to an end, you wish it was twice as long. A great anime is always too short I´ve felt in my yet so short experience so far.

Anaru's confession wasn't really handled well by Jinta but damn, those tears felt so real...

Menma's mom loathing her daughter's friends because she died while playing with them and seemingly acting like nothing has happened was understandable but still a little bit messed up. I wonder if Menma will have the courage to let her mother know that she's there. The little brother being jealous that his parents act like nothing precious is left even with him around explains his attitude from before.

Jinta's Dog of Flanders excuse backfired on him and Menma because it's basically their situation right now. Just when I thought everything was gonna get worse, she actually wrote a new entry on her diary to prove her existence ;~; It was a shocking and emotional moment for me.

I kinda start to dislike all of them. Like... How about checking out the place he works at before accusing him of shit like that? And he himself isn't much better. I understand he wants to fulfill that wish but there is no way he'll get the fireworks from that guy anymore. Might as well stop working himself to death and try to find any other way.

The only likable person at this point is Jintan's father. I'm actually surprised how much I prefer seeing him over some of the happenings so far. Seeing Yukiatsu losing it every time he meets with Jintan for example is just annoying by now.

Now it's official. I hate Yukiatsu. He is such a colossal jerk.
If he had grabbed me like that, I would have whooped his ass to the ground.

Oh Yukiatsu, the doubting Thomas. Then again if I were in his shoes...

I didn't even think about the diary. Smart move.

Also didn't know Menma's mom had that big of a grudge against the gang, I was expecting her brother to resent them too, who knows?

The angst meter was especially high in this episode ;-;
