Review of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

8.5/10 I love this show, it's a real show stopper from start to finish, The art is nice and laid back which helps add to the atmosphere of the city our characters live in (although it isn't as polished as Hanasaku Iroha's). The super peace busters are a gang of children who have lost one of their members (Menma) to an accident that took place when they were still young, Now the 5 remaining members who have all but forgotten about the "super peace busters" are drawn together by the memory of this girl. Jinta the main character is able to see Menma's ghost, she tellshim she won't disappear unless her wish is granted, ultimately Menma's wish brings the other living members of the peace busters back together, back to the way they were before Menma left them.

On the flip-side the show could be accused of being melodramatic, and the love polygons that exist within the peace busters could be called contrived, there were moments when I began to feel this way but the vast majority of the time I was too caught up in the teary eyed bliss of it all.

Conclusion
This is one of those rare shows that only comes along once in a while - and it's only 11 eps long - so get out deyaaa and watch dat shit.
