XJ9 said: DeathfireD said: Am I the only one wondering how Menma's brother is gonna react by Yukiatsu and everyone shouting at Jintan asking if Menma is still there?. Yes - I was wondering about that as well. Plus why did the firework have the effect of making Menma younger? Could it be a plot device to finally take us back in time to the day that she died? I'm wondering the same. Didn't notice Menma got younger though, I'll have to have a look again. |

| That was splendid. I'm pretty certain the 10 will stay. Can't wait for the finale. |
 |
| Since I saw this episode I can't wait for the final one. But I know that I will be sad, that the anime will be finished then. q_q |
  |
| looks like the criteria for her to 'reborn' is if everybody wishes for it. how sad. 10/10.. |

| I think next week we'll find out the truth behind Poppo's "I just watched comment" and an answer to why Tsuruko has Menma's original hair ornament in her drawer. I hope not, because if that is the direction this series goes it will be pretty dark, and in 20 minutes there will be no room for a happy ending. On the other hand, if Menma does resolve the wish, move on, and reincarnate, then we have a chance for the anjou x jintan ending that many people want. I think Jintan has made great strides: he confessed his love for Menma (something he couldn't do the day she died), he is out of the house working two jobs, and he has reconnected with his childhood friends. That's pretty impressive for a hikikomori. Much as Jintan may want Menma to stay around, she knows it will be better for him if she moves on, and she is willing to do so. I don't think there is any doubt that Jintan also has feelings for Anjou--look at how he acted to save her in class after the love hotel incident, and Anjou was about the only live person who was even trying to bring him out of his room in the early episodes. I have a lot of confidence that no matter what direction they take it, the ending will be done well. This has been the most emotional anime for me since Clannad. (And shares some themes with one of the first anime's I ever watched Green Green which despite a very high ecchi content also had at its core a very sad love story.) Get your kleenex ready! I forecast a six hanky finale. |

tsubasalover said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Everyone's feeling revealed. Nice revelations. Menma didn't go, though, even after firework was lit. I got a feeling that the firework is not Menma's true wish (I'm betting that Menma rue wish had something to do Jinta's mother) and that is why she hadn't disappear, but still I notice that Tsurumi had a feeling with Yukiatsu since it's all so cliche but it is interesting to watch a movie of this genre !! |
 |
| Damn. 1 episode left. |
 |
codes said: I...eh...sorry...I....I..think....Episode... forget it, my mind is full of fuck. Oh god I have my last final exam tomorrow but I don't care! I swear I almost cried when the fireworks were lit. It's been so long since I was this emotional because of an anime q(TT ^ TT)q I wanted to give everybody a firm hug. Anaru, Tsurumi, Yukiatsu, Poppo, Jin-tan and even Menma's mother and brother! And I just noticed that I have so much stuff in common with Anaru. The gaming, the manga, liking a childhood friend who doesn't notice her. Even in appearance (O ^ O) I looked just her when she was young too. I even have the same glasses now. (I just wish I was as trendy~) I'm guessing that Menma's wish really does have something to do with Jinta's mother. I wonder what it is? I'm pretty sure I will cry next episode ;w; |
| Fucking creepy bastard just stop it already! It's a wig for Christ sakes!! So Tsuruko finally reveled what we all been expecting. Poor girls, being stuck with two guys obsessed with a dead girl. I don't really hope that they will manage to be with them. They will always be second choice anyway. I just hope they will get over them and find love in some other guys in the future. I wonder if Tsuruko's haircut means that she decided to turn a new leaf in her life and stop following that creepy bastard like a puppet doll. Btw for once more credits to Anaru's voice actress. She really makes those crying scenes come out strong and desperate. The desperation in her crying sounds so real. P.S: why did i find my self bending my neck trying to look more under Anaru's skirt in this scene?^_^ |

 |
| Such a dramatic episode. I was yelling at my screen when Yadomi kept thinking about stopping the fireworks. When the music started playing as the fireworks went up, I felt a little teary-eyed. This is by far the best show of the season, hell the best show in a while.

| Jinta doesn't know what he wants. I hope he gets with Anaru in the last episode, but I just don't see it happening. And yes I'm going to cry since the next episode is the last one... :( A-1 plz make a second season. |
 |
| Lol, I had a feeling that the firework wasn't going to work. Tsuruko's new hairdo doesn't look too bad, and I can't believe that she thinks that Yukiatsu's never going to see her as more than a friend. She deserves love! She's awesome! When Jintan kept saying "I can stop this," I laughed really hard. xD |
| the next episode is going to be super sad. if Menma does end up going to heaven then it wouldn't go with out her getting her wish of somehow helping Jinta. personally id love the fairy tail ending where everyone sees her and she stays and lives happily ever after, id even settle with everyone seeing her, becoming happy and then she leaves. |
| I think that menma's wish at the time was for everyone to help jintan understand that even if his mom died he would still have his friend to support him. But since menma also died that day its become a lil more complicated |
 |
| what an amasing episode, i feel so touched, i don't think i can live a week with out finding out what is going to happen in the next episode, this could be a favorite because so far it is one of the best animes i have ever watched. |
| Don't know if someone said this before, but I am going to throw this in as a guess. Near the end, Jintan and Anaru are shown to be married. A little girl walks in as they are talking, (their kid) and Jintan says something like "Menma come here" and you see their kid looks similar to Menma. That would blow my mind away. |

| Such a great show...it's...it's....way too good! |
 |
| I don't know what to expect anymore, but maybe the ending will be more related to the title?.. maybe Menma will be reincarnated as a flower.. lol.. What is Menma's wish. really?.. or maybe the fireworks was really her wish but since Jintan did not want her to go to heaven, she wasn't able to.. And then the ending could be like, they will set off another firework and Jintan with no lingering feelings or what soever let's her go.. Really really waiting for the next episode. |
 |
| I wasn`t suprised when Menma talked after the fireworks :P It`s probably something deeper then fireworks that Menma wish for. And who is the lady she talked about in the bed? Hmmm |
 |
| Bring it Bring it Bring it Bring it Maybe if I chant hard enough, I can coax the producers into showing the last ep earlier >///< Can't... wait. MUST SEE! |

He was just one of those happy go lucky kids that got along with everyone in the group. People in this thread apparently misunderstood why he was chanting "say it, say it, say it, say it." in the club house. His facial expressions, sweating, and sudden personality change had nothing to do with him actually wanting to know who Jintan liked, after all they already know the answer to that. The reason was because he felt cornered and confused about what he should do. If he didn't chant then Menma might not pass on but if he did chant Jintan would hate him. He didn't break, he was just scared. mod edit: forum distortion |

| What I don't want to see is the story ending with Jinta dying, and thereby joining Menma. What I would like to see is a 'Jinta+Anaru-10-years-after' ending, with a daughter named Menma. Although I doubt it, since Jinta doesn't seem to be romantically interested, at all, in Anaru. What I forsee is Menma going to heaven and everyone left behind going their own separate way. With bullshit afterthoughts and whatnot at the end. |

He didn't break, he was just scared. The theory "Poppo had a crush on Menma" cames from episode 9 when he is alone with Menma in the secret base, he starts to ask something to her (before they start playing shiritori). It starts as 'did you [ love ] me' (ore no koto...), but might be something else. I would only say 'possible crush' for this one, I don't think Poppo loved Menma. He did never act like he was. And during this scene at the secret base, he speakｓ of 'that day' and 'at this moment' first. He would probably not ask Menma if she loved him on that day only. Maybe he wanted to ask if Menma hated him because of him pressing Jinta with his "say it, say it" part. And add a Poppo --> Jinta possible crush to the picture, this one is much more likely. And please stop it with the daughter named Menma thing... Anaru would never name her daughter from a girl she has been so jealous of. And you can't have babies with anaru, you know ? |

| I kind of agree with Jintan when he said he was happy when he saw Menma still there after the fireworks. And i didnt expect Poppo to pressure Jintan to say that He loves Menma |
  |
| Thats was amazing. |
| Ha! So the fireworks was just a ruse to get everyone together like old times. Love how Menma keeps praying to Jinta's mum's shrine. There is something macabre about a ghost paying their respects to the dead! So, what did Jinta's mum ask of Menma, and how does that relate to the whole group? And is Menma's grey hand a sign she is disappearing? Oh no...they're running out of time! |
 |
| Menmas wish is some new shoes. |

| ...Um. So. The firework is lit. As that flame shoots up the wire, tears stream down my face. As everyone is watching it, I'm crying hysterically, so I can't see anything. All of a sudden, Menma's voice. I CRIED FOR NOTHING? Fack. hottbill said: I lol'd hard at Forever Alone. I still love you Poppo... And since when did Yukiatsu possibly have a crush on Jintan? I mean, I know that there's a fine line between love and hate, but... |

I mean, I know that there's a fine line between love and hate, but... His hate could be the result of piled up sexual tension between the two. Simply making a wild guess. |
|
| I knew it. Still teared up when I saw she didn't leave though and they were all confused. I think Menma's wish is to fulfill Jinta's mom's wish which is probably a message she wanted her to pass to Jinta. My favorite chara is still Nakuro. I hope they all get a happy ending.. |
