| I knew it. I felt that the situation was wrong for Menma to disappear. I was crying though xD. Everyone's feelings were completely revealed :) Such a beautiful episode. I love Jin-tan more than anything. 5/5 |
| i kinda had a feeling that it was going to work though i wanted it too i wonder what her wish is? it has to be something to do with jinta's mom. really sad with the whole relationship thing all this unrequited is sad :( next is the last episode hopefully a happy ending :D |

| Very touching episode. Now for the last one.. |
| 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... |

Qashqai said: 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. |
| WHY DO I KEEP CRYING?! |
 "It's just...a bad dream! Wake up, wake up...!" |
| THIS ANIME........THIS ANIME...........made me CRY a little. |
| Tsurumi... you made me tear. T^T You are definitely my favorite character. I knew she wouldn't pass on because of the firework because there's so much leading up to another thing. Last episode will probably be sad... |
| As expected, it wasn't her wish. I have to admit that the firework scene moved me, no crying though :/ |
 |
| I've cried so many times because of this anime.. Well, now there's the last episode.. |
| I really feel sad for everyone.. 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? |
 |
| Was sad but actually happy she didn't disappeared! I do wonder what the last episode will show us! |
 |
| DAMNIT MENMA. Why are you still there D: |
 |
| Emotions sure welled up when the firework was lit up... |
 |
| I wonder what is Menma's wish. |
 |
| This is getting extremely frustrating. I just wish Menma has vanished already. |

| Well, this already made me cry. <3 this show. |
| 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 |
| yeeees! she stills here! just 1 more episode D: |
| Subscribe plz ^^ http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAlmeidaPT Like plz xD https://www.facebook.com/pages/Otaku-Powa/157576507666018 |
| I finally cried T__T.Throughout the whole anime I was waiting for that one moment that would make me cry and I found it T__T. The scene where they were about to shoot the firework.And then when Jintan keeping thinking about stopping the firework,but when tries to stop the firework it was already too late.Then the music starts at the perfect moment.We get to see everyone reactions to the firework launching.The firework display it self was boring but I was too busy crying to care.Then we hear Menma's voice and I felt happy yet upset and was crying at the same time because she didn't disappear. Only one episode left hopefully I cry as much as I did this episode T__T. |

| It's not Menma's wish?! o.o |
| Hmm. Seems like it wasn't her wish. Would fell awkward if it ended like that. |
 |
| I can't say I'm not happy that Menma didn't disappear, but I wonder how will it end. |
 |
| what?? what are they gonna do for the last ep? oh well |
| I had a feeling that wasn't Menma's wish! |
 |
| I actually cried in this episode for some reason..when the firework launched I cried for a bit..and than menma appeared again and I was like "Oh.." |

| I was actually anticipating Yadomi to try and stop the firework launch. It's not like he'd be able to anyway, but it'd cause more drama. |
| I want to see how will this end |
| Yukiatsu was creepy again :S I really hope Anaru and Jintan get together, and Tsuroko with Yukiatsu even though i don't like him >.< Maybe it was because Jintan wished she stayed?? |
| This is getting intense.. screw you yuki kun |
| Jinta is such a selfish asshole: Do you really need others when I'm here? This is one of the most depressing episodes so far, I'm loving it, also feel bad for Tsurumi. |
 |
| Episode was amusing to see, so emotional btw. Now Anaru and Tsuruko revealed their true feelings from Jintan and Yukiatsu respectively. Yukiatsu should stop being an idiot to Jintan from their past experience, at least have fun from the party. Time to fulfill Menma's wish by launching a firework to the skies. I hope the last episode will bring tears to my eyes. |
| Aaaaaand, I cried. Damnit, you fucking tear jerker :( Anyway, it was a great episode and yet, the preview made me even more sad... When Jin-tan tried to stop it at the last second, that's where I started to cry. All his expression of despair was difficult to bear. Yet, I'm just so fucking scared. You know, if she didn't dissapear, that mean that it wasn't her true wish. But we saw her in the beginning of the episode that she was starting to fade away. Does that mean that she about to dissapear and continue wandering as ghost forever? Or does that mean that her wish had been already fulfiled? I said it before, I think that her wish is that the group stay together forever. I was so curious about what Jin-tan mother told to Menma. I'm a bit deceived by what it was, but it was still a good scene. Tsuruko finally stopping being passive. Jin-tan also have been able to correct the shot from 5 years before. It was still a bit cruel what they did... |

| only one more episode left, i guess we'll see what Menma's wish actually was and whether she will disappear or not. |
| I bet her wish is for Jinta to grow a pair. |
 |
| I had a feeling that she might not disappear after the rocket launch, and it seems like I was right. I'm about to start watching the final episode and I wonder what kind of ending it will have, since things seemed to have been left at a quite awkward situation. |
| Well it was pretty obvious menma wasn't going to disappear. |
| The theme songs for this anime is just perfect. Playing the ending theme right when the fireworks went off brought tears to my eyes, such a sad scene and such a beautiful song. |

dragonlight said: Well it was pretty obvious menma wasn't going to disappear. it was obvious but it still gave me the feels |
| Crap. I teared up at the end. ;-; Chiriko's feelings have finally come out. Yukiatsu seems pretty dense. Even though it's a little odd given the circumstances, I'm glad Jinta finally confessed. It was really cute hearing Menma speculate that they might have gotten married had she not died... cute, but sad. I think Jinta's suggestion that she stay around is asking a lot, though. I mean, yeah, who'd want to lose their friend like that. She died, though, so... Idk. It sucks. Annnnnnd Yukiatsu is still really, really messed up. I'm glad Menma's family showed up. The mom in particular really needs help letting go... The look on Menma's face when she saw her brother was priceless. I feel bad for Poppo, though. He seems really attached to her himself, yet I don't think it's in the way Jinta or Yukiatsu is. Speaking of Menma, she really put on a brave face for everyone in trying to go to Heaven. The way she looked at herself after the fireworks went off... she's clueless as to why she's still around. I know we're feeling bad for the others, but Menma's situation sucks too. Only one episode left? Nooooooo. ;-; Edit: Wait, how does this end if Menma doesn't end up leaving? Hmm... |

| Cried....just cried.....like......I haven't cried like this....in a long time.....I can barely write this.....I cried like I couldn't cry anymore.....and I have another episode to watch?????????? Fuck me.....fuck me for having emotions..............I'm........... |
 |
| It's actually quite obvious that Menma wouldn't disappear after the firework blasting. It's just too banal for a wish that'd let her rest in peace. The last episode would be a huge blast of feels, I'm sure of that. It's from the writer of Nagi No Asukara after all. At least let it be a happy ending. If it ends with a sad note, I'd be bawling everytime I hear Secret Base. Feels/10 |

| HOORAY FOR PLOT ARMOR! OF COURSE MENMA DOESN'T DIE! GODDAMMIT I HATE THAT BITCH! If she doesn't die next episode, this anime is getting a 5/10 from me. |
| I never hated her and you have to understand the feelings of every character. Menma cannot die anymore, because she is already dead. She died there 10 years ago during an accident. Ano Hana is centered around the characters, there development influenced by the death of one of their best friends in early childhood and also there feelings. Thats make the show a really great one. I cannot say it can go to the level from Clannad AS, but at least it is also very well done in my opinion. You want that Menma disappeared ? Watch the final episode and understand the feelings of the characters, especially that one from Jintan. |
