Review of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

This anime, unlike another anime make me feel there's 3 part of the anime that make this anime complete train wreck at the end of the story. First part is episode 1-7 in those episode the anime gave us the strong fondation of everyone's character and it will be boring for someone who like normal rom-com etc. Same with me, after some few episode i also intended to leave this anime,but then watched it again to feel some accomplishment. I wont blame you for trying to drop this anime some few times, but just go! watch this anime, you will not regret it Second part is episode8-10
*minor spoiler here*
After episode 7, the pacing in this anime become faster than mayweather's run. The pace become faster and it become interesting and somehow make one hateful character become a friendly character and all them 5 getting back together just for 1 simple objection, to fulfill menma's wish. But they failed to make menma rest in peace.

Last part is the final episode
Seriously this anime is so much alike steins;gate, i mean not the genre but the pacing. At the opening it was very slow, then at the middle part the pacing become faster and one after another mystery opened up, at the last episode, it give us a beautiful ending and every mystery there all solved up in one BIG finale episode.

*some spoilers ahead*
To be honest, at episode 1 you can already predict the ending if you watched more than 10 anime at last with some drama, it is very predictable. There are 3 things i predict at first episode:
1. The ending must be everyone getting back together
2. The ending must be menma's wishes come true and she dissepeared
3. Because episode 1 is introduction to characters and this is a supernatural anime, episode 2-10 must be the MC finding a way to make them believe about menma while clearing up the understanding.

So after i watched it , am i wrong? the answer is no. Usually an anime, with predictable plot is boring, not worth it, and cant bring out tears. But this anime, somehow , even the plot is predictable and such, still giving me the feeling to let my tears out. If i were to compare, the last anime with predictable plot i've seen is 'Your lie in April' and it truthfully bore me , but this anime is much more awesome for me(even though the this anime is underrated)

So, i will recomend it to someone that have teary eyes and already watched some anime that have boring opening episodes.
