Review of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

Why? why this garbage of a show has 8.5 score?!! The first time i heard about this anime, was when i was looking for some tragic anime, people recommended this one so i gave it a try It’s bad, that white haired girl (Menma) is basically the Mayuri(from steins;gate) of Anohana, only instead of “totoro” she says “i wish my friends gather together again” and that's that for this character there is nothing else going on with her development, the main character doesn’t go to school and is pretty much The typical main anime guy (aloof, stupid, awkward, doesn't have a proper family,…) Menma isn’t any better, she isthe weakling between characters, she is weak for the sake of being weak and she is extremely optimistic and naive.

We also have Anjou, a typical tsundere as well who has a crush on main character for no apparent reason

And Matsuyuki (a childhood friend of MC), nothing he does makes sense which makes this anime turn from boring to irritating, Jesus Christ he even dresses up as a girl just because he has a crush!, does the writer of the show has any idea how romance work?

This is a bad anime, waste of time
the only good thing in this anime was Menma’s cute look in some episode but the story itself is boring because characters are boring, none of them is unique, you can instantly find a similar character from another anime for every character in this anime

Romance is cringy, it is painfully obvious the writers didn’t put any effort into making a believable situation, for example at one point a certain girl who has a crush on MC, keeps clumsily falling so that main character can hold her so they can gaze each other like an idiot , this disgusting pattern is repeated throughout the anime

If you want a true tragedy, stuff like death note and code geass and attack on titan are what you are looking for
but if you insist to watch romance then watch angel beats and plastic memory and guilty crown

Soundtracks and openings aren't memorable either, as I said garbage
