Review of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day
Anohana is such a tearjerker anime, specially for those who aren't too tough, including me. (This might contain some slight spoilers) Story : 10/10 Original Plot? Of course! The story revolves around 6 teenagers (now) who were close friends when they were little. Though they seem to have changed somehow due to a certain event that happened back then. Each have grown and you might say they have all changed a lot and yet they haven't. As the story goes on, they all meet up once again, little by little, revealing their feelings and secrets. The roller coaster of emotions really gets into the viewer and when theystart to cry, it makes you wanna cry too (for me at least).
Art : 8/10
The animation is great, though it doesn't really compare to the new era of animation quality like the ones made by Ufotable and other companies with HUGE budget. It clearly shows that it is a Slice of life anime.
Sound : 10/10
The opening and ending sounds so mellow that it soothes you before and after you watcha new episode, making it easier for you to feel a bit better if the previous episode was very sad.
Character : 10/10
The attitudes of the characters differ from one another and reflects how they were before when they were still small. Conceited, anti-social, cheerful, you name it.
