Review of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

Heartwarming story that takes place over one summer. Definitely a good watch, but still has it's flaws. The characters are all unlikeable, and the premise has been done before, the execution was nice to see as it was fresh and unique. I think this anime, if I could describe it as anything, it is "safe" there is nothing risky or scandalous, even arguably the more out there scene (no spoilers) was a safe choice for how far they could have gone. In this way this show is the same as many others, never really going past that line. This show has been highly praised andrightly so, but do not watch it expecting a masterpiece.
