Review of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

Death is something that you can't ever avoid whatever you do when the time is come for you. Yeah,it's sucks to be dead. You'll cross the river (in Japanese story about the death) and you can't ever turn back once you've cross it. The next one happen to you, you'll reincarnated. You'll become a new existence in the world and different from your former self. You can be a plant, animal,or human, regarding to your deed when you live your life in the world. But...What if you resurrect from your death? Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Mada Shiranai (let's just call it AnoHana) /We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw that Day tells the story about six kid in a group called Peace Buster.But sadly, in one day one of the group member, Menma Meiko, die in an accident.

Since Menma death, nothing remain the same for the Peace Buster. Years later, in a summer day, Menma suddenly reappeared and the only person who can see her is Yadomi, one of the group member who had a crush on her once before. After that, the group become active again with the reunion of five of its member. They have a mission: 'To Make Menma's Wish Come True' in order to make her can go to heaven peacefully.

To be honest, I'm into slice of life genre too much.I rarely downloading anime with slice of life as a genre.So why did I watch this one?Well,I got it from my friend.Yep,he recommend it to me.So,I'm saying to myself "Why not?",and then I start to watch it.Before I watch it,I never knew that this anime is in the top 30 of anime ranking.To be honest,I don't really expect too much from it.But,soon after I'm completing the first episode I'm truly satisfied.The story is simple but interesting.The art is okay,it's not bad but it's not too good.

Then I start to watch the second,the third,the fourth,and it make me addicted!The plot flow smoothly and the characters in it develope really quick but nice.This kind of anime is getting rare these day. Yeah,really rare.Anime these day getting more and more pervert.A lot of bouncing boobs,erotic conversation,and a lot more fanservice.

And finally,after I completing the whole series I decide to give it a 9.Why?I don't give it a 10 cause it's good,but for it's not a masterpiece like afterstory,death note or code geass. But still,this one is special.Usually,when I'm watching a slice of life I'm getting bored easily and the story usually have a lot of filler.You won't find any filler in this one!(well,maybe because it's only 11 episode..lol)

I like the idea about making it a short 11 episode story.Cause,what's the point of making a lot of episode if you only make it become a filler?

A thing that lack from this anime is romance.There's a romance here but in my opinion,I don't really feel it.It's more like a very strong bond of friendship.The Love itself is kind of hidden and a bit unrevealed until the last couple of episode.

The strength of this anime is the story and the moral lesson.A very nice touching story,it makes my heart feels warm."Be honest with your feeling and say it before it's too late!",maybe is the point of moral lesson given from this anime.
