Now that Menma's spirit has been purified by the fireworks, she is finally free to murder all of her 'friends' in the final episode for unfairly tying her to this realm of flesh. Go, Menma! EXACT YOUR REVENGE!!!

LOL, though i doubt that would happen.

However, I had a similar thought that they would have a meeting at the secret base to discuss the situation and begin to drink the coffee only to find it was poisoned by Menma and they all die. I get this thought because at the end of the ED, Menma looks on sheepishly at the five cups that represent the five remaining members of SPB. she could get the poison from the Honma house so the police would blame her mom who held a grudge.

Actually, there is not so much that really needs to be resolved.
We need to know what is this 'only one thing' that Jinta's mama told to Menma, which is probably the reason for everything, why Menma called the meeting, and why she hasn't found her peace yet because somehow she made a promise she could not keep (most likely something like help little Jinta to grow up and become a real man). Then we need to learn what Menma wanted to ask to the group while Jintan was not there.
Then Jinta has to accept to let Menma go, this will fulfil his mama's wish and probably free Menma in an emotional climax.

That's pretty much everything that really needs to be explain, all the other interrogations we may have are optional. I would like to see a flashback about 'that day' but I am not even sure it will happen (then I would be disappointed because I still do not understand why all of them feel so guilty, if there is not an important event we don't know regarding Menma's death).

And there is something I expect since ep. 3, will these 2 pictures connect at last ?

It's kind of frustrating how selfish Jin-tan is acting :/ He wants to keep Menma trapped on earth as a ghost just because he doesn't want to let her go. I understand that he loves her, but it's kind of frustrating that he's trying to stop her from going to heaven :(

I can't wait until the next episode. I knew that they were gonna wait til the very end to reveal Menma's wish. :)

During the first episode, I told myself the whole time that her wish was going to be "OH I WISH THAT EVERYONE COULD BE FRIENDS FOREVER AND KEEP HAVING FUN TIMES LIKE WE DID WHEN WE WERE KIDS!" Then the fireworks, and I thought I was wrong.

But now that it's not the fireworks, I'm really hoping, and I mean REALLY HOPING, that that isn't her wish. Because if that really is her wish, then this whole series has been ruined for me.

I honestly thought she would manifest physically and it would be a Clannad happy ending. But, now I'm hoping for the School Days ending.

we have several options:

1.Menma decides to live as a ghost and later suffers the consequences and becomes a poltergeist

2. Menma was actually in comma in another country, then she wakes up. Clannad influences

3. Menma disappears and reincarnates when Jintan is a 30 year old guy.Clamp Style 1

4. Menma becomes an angel and protects everyone. [Clamp style 2.

Cant wait for the last ep! XD

Anyways, I'm really sad that the series is now done next episode. *has tissues on the desk*

I don't think I'm emotionally prepared to watch the final episode tonight. Why is that ED so saddening? :(
Anyhow, this episode was great once again. Well, maybe it wasn't, but that must mean I'd actually be too much of a fanboy not to notice what's wrong with it, and frankly, I don't care. The ending will decide whether I'll give it a 9 or a 10. Yeah, just like that. Bam!

Powerful episode. I am left speechless. Now with only the final episode left to watch, a beautiful ending is the only thing missing for this show to get a 10 from me. It has been a wonderful ride, I have high hopes the ending will not disappoint me.

i didnt read all 14 pages of posts, but did any1 else notice that her hand was already partially trasnparent at the beginning of this episode when she was praying to jintans mother? and then nearing the end, on the morning of the fireworks when she woke up, her hand was also transparent.

any1 care to explain? or provide a theory to satisfy my curiosity ;P

It's always bittersweet to see something end. Jinta understands this, but is still living in the past. Not as much as yatsuhashi though because rubbing his face against a wig is just creepy.

It's like the whole thing can't get sadder. I guess she can't pass out until all of her friends are ready to let her go. I'm sure it's because of Jintan she's still here. But just one episode to finish everything... For a story drawing me this much in itself... I really get the feeling, that it will end within blink of an eye... just like what happens in our real lives...

So, as far as I understand Japanese (not much), Menma's wish was something about Jintan, huh (since she called the gang to do something for Jintan)? And it must've been a request from Jintan's mom. Can't wait to see what it actually was.

It does really seem like Menma's wish is related to something Jintan's mother may have said! I didn't think she'd leave after the fireworks - somehow, that would've been too simple... and left too many loose ends. (Even though creating the fireworks was anything but simple for the gang.)

Have to say, Menma's brother is a great character. Well, hard to say maybe because we haven't seen much of him, but he gives off good vibes.

I guess Menma didnt leave because of her attachment to Jintan and also vice versa. If not, why would she appear in front of him in the first place?

such a sad episode :(

Jintan invited Menma's parents!

Menma's mother doesn't even know how tall Menma's brother is?

of course Menma's brother is suffering, it's not just you mother.

the party was pretty much only Poppo and Menma XD

wow they re-enacted the scene from where they were little!

Jintan finally admits he does like Menma.

Naruko crying makes my heart weep T____T

and wow Tsurumi does like Matsuyuki huh?

even she has to accept that Matsuyuki will forever love Menma, just like Naruko has to accept it :(

you can still go out with me Naruko!!!!

we get to see Menma and Yadomi's mother having a conversation :D

love Tsurumi's new look :D

ahaha she basically lied it's because of her new outlook in life XD

Menma's brother came and and her mother and father stayed in the car.

Poppo is definitely the one that can talk through all of this ^^

Jintan badly wants to stop this, but Matsuyki won't let him :P

for once i respect you Matsuyuki :P

when the rocket launched, my hair strands stand up :O

such an emotional scene.

so the rocket wasn't her wish, it's probably the reunion of everyone and not hold any grudge at each other.

last episode :(

still wished this was a 20+ episode series!

why does awesome anime like this only lasts a few episodes?!?!

Eden of the East, Canaan, Darker Than Black Ryusei no Gemini all needed more episodes to be honest.

last episode, her wish will be revealed and hopefully im right T___T
