Review of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

(This Review Contains Full Spoilers For Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai.) Story - 9/10 The story is simple and short. It does what it wants to do and it does it well. Nothing outstanding, but pretty good. Art - 9/10Pretty, Vibrant colors that pop out at you. There are no complaints.

Sound - 10/10

The music in this show is one of it's strongest attributes. The opening theme feels like an Indie Acoustic type of song and is very sad when you know the English lyrics. The music fits the theme very well, and is one of the main reasons I enjoy the show.

Character - 10/10

The strongest part of the show. There is no reason to cry, if there's nothing to cry over. Menma's death and disappearance would be nothing if it weren't for these characters. The show is very consistent with it's characters and development. All of the side-romances feel right, and it feels like the characters can exist in real life. All of the characters are likable, but also flawed. For example, Naruko only helped the reformed super peace busters for her own personal gain. They feel like real people.

Enjoyment - 10/10

This is my favorite anime of all time, and brings a tear to my eye whenever I watch it. It is dramatic, sad, depressing, and stuck with me weeks after I finished the series.

Overall - 10/10
