Review of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day
I'll try to keep this short and sweet. we all look for different things in our shows, but Anohana gave to me everything I was looking for at just the right time I needed it. As someone who doesn't deal very well with emotional expression, this show genuinely brought me to tears in the final episode. The themes of saying goodbye to the departed hit so very close to home with me, so perhaps it had a greater impact for me than others. However, Clannad, the poster-anime for tearjerking plot I found somewhat lacking. For the person looking for a heartwarming bittersweet story of genuine love, selfdescovery and character development, this show is once i could not reccommend enough.
merely judging the content, perhaps the story itself relies upon a few clichés and the artwork, though beautiful, is no Violet Evergarden or Made in Abyss. However, Anohana is going to take a perfect 10 from me and will remain so in my heart.
I adore the heartfelt and earnest nature of each character. the isolation each experience as a result of their guilt.
Please, go watch this show.
