| In this last episode "truth" comes out. The feelings are overflowing. The drama takes over the screen. the true desire is discovered. The summary of the series would be "The Chou Heiwa Busters are mentally too fucked up". -- En este último episodio "la verdad" sale a relucir. Los sentimientos se desbordan. El dramatismo se apodera de la pantalla. Se descubre el verdadero deseo. El resumen de la serie sería "Los Chou Heiwa Busters están mentalmente muy jodidos". |

| I have never went beyond tearing up in any show or movie I have ever watched in my life. Today, tears streamed down my cheek for the first time when I saw the letters left for the super peace busters. 9/10 I never thought a day like this would come. Farewell, Menma T-T |

| Noooo, Menma! AHH this last episode had me bawling my eyes out, at that scene when they were alone at night, and the very end. I was really clinging on to the hope that some how, SOME HOW, Menma would've been brought back to life (her ghost turning into her real body). Dangit. I really hope that that group of friends won't separate. 10/10 |
 ♔ caught in the wonder ♔ |
| So, I've finally finished the so called "classical masterpiece", and wow... are you people serious? I fail to see what's so incredibly tear jerker inducing about this series. Seriously. Watching the characters interact with each other felt like watching paint dry. Menma is an annoying brat bitch who looks and sounds like a loli (no offense, Ai Kayano, I still like you), the otaku MC is as bland as an otaku main character can get, Anjou/Anaru is completely anal (get it?), Poppo is fat, rich guy has some serious cross dressing issues and the glasses girl is cold and mysterious. Seriously, that's all there is to these characters. Or wait, they have occasional emotional outbursts twice-thrice every episode and there's sad music, that totally changes everything, amirite? No, it doesn't, it's still a sappy melodrama. Fucking christ, I thought they were going to kill me there with their try hard "CRY THEN" techniques. 1/10 NOT EVEN THE CUP WITH THE SWEDISH FLAG COULD SAVE THIS PIECE OF SHIT |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| When everyone admitted their selfish desires in order to properly give Menma a farewell and she appeared to everyone I cried so much My heart is aching a lot~ such a rollercoaster of feels! So much human emotions and empathy/sympathy I can relate to all the characters - jealousy, love, selfishness but they all come to terms to themselves which makes the ending even better |
 |
| but the real question is did anaru finally get laid |
 |
| Thought I would go through this entire tearjerker anime without even a single bit of moisture, but (thankfully ?) the scene with the parting letters had my eyes watering. Yhe hide and seek game was neither here nor there though, and the characters cried way too much during the shrine scene, it got me to cringe a bit. The ending was called for and I had long before guessed that Menma's "wish" was something along the line of Jinta's mother saying "Take care of him for me". Overall it was an enjoyable marathon, even if the inconsistencies surrounding Menma's condition really bothered me. The characters were good, definitely the strength of the show, although I could've done with less love interests between them. 7/10 |
| WE FOUND YOU. 8/10. |
| Omg that beautiful. I loved how they all told us other everything they did wrong thinking that was the reason Menma couldn't rest in peace. I was actually expecting her to be gone and leaving the letters but everyone else got a chance to hear and see her as the real thing. This anime legit made me cri a bit. Sayonara one day I will Come back to rewatch! So wait for me Menma! Very beautiful anime. I'm glad I binge it within a couple hours. |
| So my friend had told me about an episode of this show where it was literally just everyone sitting around crying ... and well, guess it was this one >_< Yeah not gonna lie, it was kind of cringey to watch, but turns out Tsuruko was jealous of Anaru not Menma! :O Poppo's outburst was kind of out of character to me, I guess he felt guilty about not doing anything but being that depressed about it all these years ...? Eh, I'm not feeling it. Everyone confesses they just wanted Menma to pass on out of selfishness ... glad that was out there at least. Finally some progress. Menma's promise was to make Jinta cry, made to his mom, and well looks like she was successful ... that's what she wanted to ask everyone about anyway, but then Anaru and Yukiatsu wanted to make Jinta confess and Tsuruko knew and ... whew! Anyway Menma writes her final words to everyone (confessing her love to Jinta as well) and finally disappears. God I'm not gonna lie that last scene with everyone looking for her and shouting was soooo ham fisted and cringey >_< Oh well, at least the ending was decent and everyone ended up making peace with it looks like! Shame we didn't see what happened later on, no pairings confirmed ... but oh well, at least they didn't end it terribly XD Eh overall it was a decent watch with good music and (mostly) great animation. Characters were not bad - I definitely liked most of the development, even if that meant that everyone was just stubborn :P The plot was ... meh, I mean, I still can't get over that 8 episode waste of denying Menma's existence >_< At least the ending was pretty good. I just felt that it was overly hamfisted at times, but it was an enjoyable watch even with the cringe. It was a good at showing how different people cope with loss, and well, it wasn't as great as it was made out to be but at least it wasn't bad! 8/10 |
| I freaking bawled....I don't know what to do with my life anymore I'm so miserable now.. Wonder if Jinta ends up with Anjou WHen he said they were becoming adults I felt left behind... Like one of the biggest feels train ever :( |
| Bye.. Bye.. Menma... |
| There is one thing I don't understand. What's the flower referred to in the title? IS there any significance? The nice little white flower symbolism pops up here and there, but.. I dungeddit. |
| A Masterpiece Indeed |
 |
| It was a beautiful Anime. I enjoyed it quite a lot. I secretly wanted her to be reincarnated and to be with everyone, but what would be "cheesy and cliche". However, the opposite is also cliche :P Anyway, loved it. |
  |
| Simply an astonishing, breathtaking and tear-jerking ride albeit it’s numerous flaws! I believe those words are just about right to describe this entire sensational series, despite some certain aggravating flaws which slightly proves to be a hindrance. My favorite character of the show goes hands-down to Poppo for enduring the most guilt, or maybe second after Jinta, and for remaining the strongest character by not letting his emotions take the better of him until the inevitable end. As for the whole Characters, in general, I found it rather intriguing how almost each and every character introduced felt some guilt behind Menma's tragic death and in the end gaining salvation once and for all from that blame. However, it was clearly evident that Menma was this 'just too special kind of a girl' that everyone would remember even after 10 years and do note that they were children. Despite how tragic and mortally excruciating it is for a friend's death, day-to-day life problems catches up and this seems to be neglected by this show. You might think I'm contradicting myself here since I said I found it to be intriguing but I didn't really feel that the show got it entirely right because of the reasons I mentioned above but I didn't really mind them too much. Atsumu, on the other hand, was my least favorite character of the show because I felt that his hatred towards Jinda was overestimated and therefore slightly bothersome and this can also be related to Menma's mother to a certain extent only though. Furthermore, towards the beginning of the show I felt that the character interactions grew authentic which is a "Wait. How come?" kind of expression. Nevertheless, it was still satisfactory and great. What really got to me however was that there turned out to be forced love interests and this really made the whole thing a mess. I’m a Romance fan through and through but I don’t like when shows introduce forced relationships just to get the plot moving. On this regard, it felt really stupid and unnecessary. Another notable feature of the series goes to the flawless A-1 Pictures Animation and stunning Music for it created the perfect environment for this setting and for the storyline. Speaking of the Storyline, I felt it was slightly poor in comparison to the other features of the show and that was slightly disappointing. Even during the show, in some of the episodes you'll realize that a couple of episodes or so in the middle are somewhat repeated and therefore this slightly drags the shows progress down. Nonetheless, the show manages to pick up from that cache in its earlier stage so that's great. Overall, it was a great show but with numerous flaws. Hence, my rating for this show comes down to a well-earned 7.5/10 which rounds off to a 8. Maybe some years down the line, I might decrease it to a 7 but for now, 8 does the trick. |

| That was an amazing ride. Great show, 10/10. |
| The only opinion that should matter to you is yours. |
| This anime and Your Lie in April were the saddest feeltrips I've ever gone on ;~; I either welled up some tears or cried my ass off throughout lol Just when I thought that them admitting their ulterior motives were emotional enough, Poppo dropped the line that he was a witness to Menma's death and broke down making me end up crying along with them... Good thing Anaru's fake eyelashes got loose~ It was quite the twist that Menma's wish was to make Jinta let out his bottled emotions and gathering everyone for ideas. As crazy as they looked while running around the woods and screaming, seeing them desperately look for her while she wrote letters for them was kinda emotional. I really lost it when they started reading the letters and even more so when they finally saw Menma for the first and last time... Every passing second in that scene I just cried harder and harder. Menma talking to all 5 of them with Secret Base playing was a heart-crushing combination. I'm happy that she finally rest in peace without anyone having regrets in the end and that addition written beside the carving was a great last shot. I just hope Menma got to reincarnate into someone the Super Peace Busters will get to meet~ |
 |
| Rewatched it in DUBbed and it's still really great, voice acting is not as good as sub(duh),but it still delivers in important emotional parts... It also reminds me of why I have this show on my top ten, I'm going to rewatch the movie as well. Hopefully one day, we get an OVA of them fully into their adulthood and see how their doing... I rate 8/8 |

| Ah man, that was a short ride, Menma I already knew she would die because of fucking spoilers damn. I cried so hard damn man. 9/10 |
| This was the third anime I watched. Gave it an 8/10 but I think a 7 is more appropriate after a rewatch and being far more experienced with the medium. It tried to be too melodramatic and ended up being rather cringe worthy. The animation is rather nice though with a peaceful OST and pretty good characters. In the end I feel like Toradora and Shigatsu did melodrama a lot better. |
  |
| I guess they solved it. It was nice that everybody was able to see her at the end. Can't say I enjoyed the entire ride though. The middle part was getting pretty annoying. But then again I think Drama simply isn't for me. At least combine it properly with romance or anything. This was just kids being angry at each other for 11 episodes. Srsly the only I'm feeling sorry for is Poppo. He had to watch one of his friends die while being too scared to help and probably didn't tell anybody about that until that point. I was wondering why he dropped out of school and traveled around the world but didn't think anything like that would have been the reason. Must have been pretty rough. And while we are at it anyway I'm kinda disappointed we didn't find out what happened exactly. I mean apparently it wasn't and important point of the story but I still would have liked to know. Poppo only saw her once she was in the river after all. But what did really happen at that day? We only know Jintan ran away, a few were following him and Yukiatsu told Menma he loved her. After that it's absolutely unclear what was going on. Well. The start was nice and the end, too. Without the middle part I'd give it a pretty good score but as I said I'm not a big fan of this kind of drama so I'll avoid rating it at all. |
| I don’t like this anime and the characters at all. I am a very emotional person and I cry for every sad animes but I did not cry at all for this anime. 3/10 |
| Come to think of it "Super Peace Busters" sounds like a villain group. I mean busting peace in a superly way. |
 |
| I seriously cried in the episode :( MASTERPIECE!!! |
