It's indeed very good and i am really wondering how it will end it seems like they are becoming more friendly with each other but will that last.

I am wondering if Jin will ever be able to go to school sitting at home doing nothing isn't very good for him and when he was finally going to school he runs away again.
Just because those girls started teasing him.
I also wonder why Poppo isn't going to school and why isn't he living with his parents?

No guys, its not yukiatsu, it's actually tsuruko. Go back to the scene where yukiatsu and tsuruko are shopping and you can clearly see that she's also wearing a watch.


so the calm and smartlooking ones are the most freaky O_O gawd.

And yeah.. this show gives so many emotions.. really great.. :'(((((((

The last 5 or so minutes of this episodes was the only interesting part of the whole 3 episodes. It's been filled with nothing but some pervert's imaginary girlfriend who does nothing but arouse him on every occasion she sees fit. Fanservice. Characters are dull and superficial, Menma is annoying and the protagonist is just lame.


If you're not interested than why do you bother watching?

Does anyone think that maybe each of the characters see there own version of Menma? I guess that wouldn't make much sense though. XD Anyway, I love this show and episode three was amazing! It's great to see complex characters too, rather then a bunch of people with one defining trait running around doing nothing.

Did anyone else find it weird and ironic that Honma, who's DEAD, prayed for Jinta's mom who passed away?

Also, it seems too good for things to be going the way they are right now in the anime, especially that it's only ep 3. I'm waiting for that huge fall of emotion that just CRUSHES our souls into the pits of despair, followed by a mediocre ending.

Yukiatsu is a crazy ass bastard. The most messed up in the group. He probably did lie about being able to see Menma, because that fucker is crazy for her. And Tsurumi is his little bitch who'd do anything for him. And God DAMN this anime is so good... I can't describe it.

Why did I never even tought of Yukiatsu being the Menma seen by Poppo? I mean, I really do hope it wasn't him, tough. Of course there are people who are into that kind of thing, but it'd simply ruin one of the only two decent characters of this anime.
I also think that what -Lunacie said has great chances of being true and every one of the others are hiding because they fear what people might think, altough then the story would be a lot more complicated... Just about the same level of complication as one of them being an insane crossdresser.

But I had never tought this show would be so promising, I'm gladly surprised <3

Yukiatsu can't see Menma or any version of Menma. Idk whats with Poopo seeing a Menma but i don't care if he can see a Menma Yukiatsu can't. I don't think every character sees there own version of Menma because do you remember in episode one when Menma yelled at Yuikastu he heared it kind of so why would he be able to see a different version of Menma and be able to hear Jintan's Menma no doesn't make sense.
Yukiastu is a liar and trying to make himself feel important his trying to make it so that he was as close to Menma as Jintan was by saying he shes a Menma. Yukiastu a lying douche

Yukiatsu is the best chara there, he definitely knows how to catch our attention. I bet he is crossdressing. And ofc he cannot see Memna, he is just jealous of Jintan, which makes the show even more awesome because we have a love triangle with a ghost XD
Talking seriously now, i dont criticize Yukiatsu. Jintan never went to school again and closed himself at home as a way of dealing with Menma´s death, while Yukiatsu also never got through Menma´s death and dealt with it in another way, but that doesnt mean he is wrong, everyone has their own way of dealing with the death of someone. Everyone criticizes Yukiatsu, but does everyone here realized how much he loved Menma? and how painful it was to see Menma falling for Jintan while he was just watching and being by her side always as a friend. Her death also devastated him.
If Yukiatsu wants to pretend he sees Menma and if that makes him happy, ill support him.

Awesome episode. Anaru is really to easily influenced - she played along with her friends too easily - and the rest being able to see her.... right now i am under the impression of multiple ghost theory.

The pacing of this series is great. The old friends have already been reunited, so we'll have to see where it goes from here.

Really liking Anjou's character, despite not really fully appreciating her character design (her twintail hairstyle is pretty weird, liked her design better in this episode though). Her character seems very realistic at least to me.

It's annoying the show continues to insult our intelligence like this.

It would have been easy to assume Menma really was a delusion of Jintan's except for that scene at her home which proved she could interact with things outside of his presence. And yet everyone was gathered and neither of them thought to PROVE she was there by doing something, anything? Pull her glasses off? Knock something over? Anything?

If this were any other show I would probably drop it for this idiocy but I'm looking forward to seeing what Yukiatsu does.

Lol... Whenever she does something the animators make sure that everyone is looking away. Also, that dog was able to see her so it's not just Jintan's hallucination... It's a ghost that can interact with the real world.

Hope this helps ^^

Memna is a poltergeist XD

well no one of them actually asked Jintan to ask Menma to do something, but indeed, its a little weird that no one asks some evidence. Well...Its the power of friendship XD believing in your friends above anything else XD

now seriously...i cant wait to see Yukiatsu crossdressing. He would be such a manly Menma :)

She interacts with objects on a regular basis, I'm positive she is not a hallucination. Also, don't forget she hit the table at her family's place spilling the water, it was not her brother.

It's not really too surprising that Jinta hasn't asked Menma to start moving objects in front of the group in order to confirm her existence.
We saw in the first episode that Jinta is purposely prolonging his apology for calling Menma ugly, because he doesn't want his 'hallucination' to disappear--he wants to spend as much time as possible with Menma.
It would be pretty safe to say that Jinta wants to keep Menma to himself. He was clearly jealous/unnerved when Yukiatsu claimed that he could see Menma too.
Menma would also probably be too worried to make her presence too known for some naive reason like being worried about scaring/hurting her friends.

(I really would like to know whether at this point in the anime if Jinta has realised that Menma is more than his mere hallucination).

But, my point is that we really shouldn't try to poke holes in the story by asking Menma to move objects, when neither Jinta or Menma want to confirm her existence in front of everyone else (yet). We should at least give the anime a chance to explain itself (and actually finish) before pointing out possible paradoxes and deeming it as being illogical.

Without doubt the best show this season, and so far my pick for series of the year (yes, even over Madoka Magica). This series is pushing many, many buttons for me, and just seems to improve with each episode.

One thing I truly love about this series is the tiny moments that show every character's quirks. One in particular that stands out is that Anaru constant attempts to 'follow the crowd' or, in the case of "I believe it's ok to believe [the wish]", to anticipate what Tsuruko was going to say so it would be more socially acceptable in her head. I've tried it (it doesn't work very often) so it's funny seeing it from another perspective.

As for the 'other Menma' theory, I'd say that it probably is Yukiatsu cross-dressing. After all, he does have both the dress and the general strangeness, so it's possible

EDIT: Just saw the pictures, it's definitely him.

Firstly, I'll give an apology to the members I've quoted because I've put their posts in spoiler tags(they were kind of long...)
Well, I must agree with Iconic on this one. Now, I don't believe that Menma's grudge is on this apology alone but I think it might linked somehow. I think Menma will disappear when everyone will recognize each other truly as friends because right now, as it seems, they are still not comfortable with each other yet. But, still being incapable of calling each other as friend, they are battling with their own selves if they should, thus possibly making them to view Menma for a short time. I believe Menma will be seen by everyone when they'll finally think of each other. I predict that the final episode(whichever number it may be) will show Menma disappearing(if not with an episode before) and everyone remembering her. As a pairing fanboy I would be asking for an AnaruxJintan moment as well, but that may be too much, haha xD
As a last word, I must say I just love this show. I see that many don't like the show or haven't heard of it yet...I'm not surprised to be frank, since by reading the synopsis, it doesn't really seems interesting and it isn't a mainstream anime as well...but I love it...now, I hope it won't disappoint towards the end.

linear episode.....
three episodes judgement is closely positive, this anime startes with strong potential, but this one isn't yet explose.... I don't understand which is real plot, base theme is very good, but I only hope it won't reduce to puerly slice of life. like slice of life this anime isn't good... if it remains on mistery theme we will watch very great anime....
