Review of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

AnoHana for short, is one of those unforgettable animes, where once you watch it once it stays with you, bad points about this anime? 1) Makes you cry 2) Sleep deprived 3) Leaves a hole in your heart after you finish it Story 10 Anohana tells of a story of friends trying to cope with the death of their dear friend, but really to make it short its just a bunch of friends making up and learning to forgive each other after something tragic has happened. This anime is pretty impressive, they can basically tell each characters perspective of the day menma died quite detailed in just 11 episodes,like it'll be hard to actually find something that you didn't understand. I can guarantee you, that you will cry at least once or at least get very emotional, oh and i mean VERY emotional.

Art 8

For an Anime released in 2011, it was expected to have art that good, it will be surprising if it didn't. I did however liked how they sometimes used a blue outline on the characters during the scenes about the past, i thought that was a pretty nice touch and a unique way to do things.

Sound 8

The sound was pretty well made, for instance the overlapping of the ending song with the last 1-2 mins of the episode created that cliff hanger feeling at the end of each episode, hence why i said you will be sleep deprived you basically forced to finish the anime in 1 day =P. The opening and ending of Anohana is pretty well done with the video not spoiling much about the anime, the OP and ED songs is one those songs where you find yourself going on youtube and listening to it loads. Well that was the case for me anyway.

Character 9

Each member of the "Super peach buster" had their own difficulties while coping with the death of Menma's death which generally caused conflict between the main characters. What made this anime truly amazing was the relationship between the characters, it had everything, jealously? check, romance? check, fights? check. But what made it great was despite the disputes, they always end up making up with each other, even if they witness something as weird as someone cross dressing as Menma.... that was truly a "What the fuck" moment.

Enjoyment 9

Ano Hana will do 3 things to you, it'll made you laugh, cry and very pissed off. Examples of where your going to be pissed off? When the characters ignorance or naivety reaches to the point that made you think that they were retarded for acting that way. I'm not even going to bother and say when your going to cry that list is way to long.

Overall 9

Overall, Anohana is an anime that fans of Slice of life, Drama genre much watch. It leaves an impression on you that after you finish watching it, you will remember it for a while and even rewatching some scenes would continue to make you just as emotional.
