I've tried the anime out. It's alright but there's something which makes it unwatchable for me. Menma can clearly interact with people and objects around her but no one notices except for Jinta, this irritates me a lot and I currently want to drop the series, but does this change later on? Will people start noticing her? If not, is it still worth it to finish the anime?

Don't ask people whether it's worth it or not it's never a good idea, watch it if you want to give it a chance drop it otherwise

The ending didn't even make me feel shit, just drop it if you don't find it good currently.
It's overrated af and the ending is pretty much crap.

If the premise didn't grab you, it won't do anything for you.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

I personally believe it is. It has gotten the reputation of being nothing but a tearjerker, but it's honestly more than that. I didn't even shed a tear, tbh.

It's a fun anime to watch. It's not the best anime, but it was definitely enjoyable. Menma is a ghost and although the substance she is made of is heavy enough to allow her to interact with objects it actually doesn't reflect visible light but it does reflect other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Jinta is able to interpret these waves as if they were visible light while the other characters are not. The anime is from Jinta's perspective which is why we can also see her. There might also be a way to explain why the others can't hear her.

I didn't like it at all, but I hated most tearkjerking anime so don't take my word for granted. I also thought the female protagonist was one of the most annoying anime characters I've ever encountered (the ghost girl).

Still, I say just give it a shot.

Yeah finish it, even if you don't really like it, it's just short.
And everything will become clearer as the story progresses. It's worth a try.
And I really don't think it's overrated, because it's such a beautiful and touching story.
The ending is great also, I haven't cried this much in my entire life.

By the way, I'm really sorry for my mistakes, english is not my native language.

To answer your question, yes. The other characters do eventually begin noticing her and get to see her.

It's up to you if you want to finish it or not, knowing that.

I also believe FMA:B is overrated, but that's due to the fact that its ranked #1 on most anime sites, personally i think it deserves to be in any top 100 anime. 50-100 to be precise.

Sop yeah its overrated but compared to Anohana its less.

Yamato 2199 is the most overrated title in the top 100 though, Anohana is a close second.

It usually takes weeks to finish a short anime series but I binged watched Anohana
It was really emotional for me and I connected with the characters really well
It ended in a satisfying way too
The OST had me in tears too
10/10 would reccomend

I thought it was disappointing. There was so much stupidity and suspension of disbelief going on at times that I simply stopped caring about any of the characters after a few episodes. Overall a yawn fest imo.

If you like drama and don't particularly mind serious, almost over-the-top melodrama, you will love Anohana as it is one of the best at what it does. I know that some are turned off by Mari Okada's style, but I personally loved it. As for the interacting, it is made clear to the viewer but the characters don't know it. It would have probably been worse if the fact that Menma could communicate with the cast was pulled out as a deus ex machine. This is resolved later in the series anyway and should be a simple nitpick in the first place. Anohana is worth it for the characters and ending alone IMO.

Anohano orz

I really liked Anohana; the last 2-3 episodes were really emotional and punched me right in the gut. But if you don't like it op, then nobody is forcing you to watch it. Do what's best for you

i watched the first episode then the tenth episode accidentally, then i just read spoilers on the internet to know what happened in the end and dropped it. based on the two episodes i watched it was kinda good, but if i were to complete it i'm p sure i will be sick of the useless drama for 8 episodes (w/o counting the final ep).

Umm, I dont think so.

Though i know you have a passion with hating on Code Geass, I suggest you watch more shows from the top 100 and eventually you will realize that there is far more overrated stuff than you could imagine.

Anyway, I'll just stop here because we are going off-topic.

I don't hate it with a passion (if I did, I'd given it a 1), I just think it's incredibly overrated.

Ano Hana isn't a good anime...
0 Credibility. You need to check reviews, the third (5/10)..

Characters aren't that good, Menma is really horrible...

It's big disappointment for me, because of this hype and also because I like SoL&drama animes.

>Listen to me because it affected ME.

How does that even make sense?
