    I cried my eyes out

    I didnt expect to get this emotional. But one i started criing i just couldn't stop. It hit me so hard. Ano hana unlike other show makes you feel for the characters the the main character isn't some kind of superhero. He is just a screw up like the rest of us. And thats the strength of ano hana. <[((In conclusion))]> I couldn't recommend this more. Just go watch it

    A Bittersweet End

    I had just finished watching Clannad: After Story, and stumbled upon a comment about this very anime. When I read the synopsis, I was instantly hooked, & the excitement that I had begun with this anime, lasted all the way to the end. I recommend this for all anime watchers. It is not a show of much action, but more so on the emotional side. The characters are very much relatable, if not, very realistic, indeed. It is a quick 13 episodes that will make you feel queasy and content at the end of it all. This anime is up there, not one of my most favourites, but definitely close up there. So if you're looking for something to quickly finish & stay satisfied throughout it all, I suggest you to give it a go, & watch it. You will not regret it one bit!

    I love you, Menma!

    It's really heartbreaking at the end. But I really loved this series. I can't let Menma go. I just finished it. And the end of the final episode. I also shout that, I love you Menma! I'm in tears now, sorry for this foolish review. This is the best anime you should watch!

    All About Feels!!!

    I am big fan of the anime genre, so this might prove biased, but even then i would recommend it as one of the most emotional anime ever. There are other anime of the sad types but this connects on the different level. Those who have lost a close loved one will relate to it at some point (I did to the whole story). And this anime is specially for them too...But all can relate to it as well.

    Superb Animation quality backed up with natural voice over and the sad awesome story .....U WILL and not just may literally WILL find this anime AWESOME!

    JUST WATCH IT ALREADY!~~ITS AWESOME !!! !! !! :D :D

    Just Awesome...

    {This is my very first review so please forgive my simple writing}

    In one word, inspiring.. Just from the very first episode it grabs hold of you and never lets you go... I've only just seen the three first episodes and I'm already hooked.. The storyline is really unique and dramatic, the characters are all very interesting and very well developed, the animation is superb, top of the line, the music fits with the scenery really well and of course there's some comic relief now and then ... Just mesmerizing... Perfect... If the slice of life genre of anime is something you might be interested in then look no further!! See for yourself, you will not be disappointed..!!!!!

    • Trivia
      The original draft script by Mari Okada featured more slapstick and more erotica elements, but was changed heavily during planning to include more supernatural elements - turning it into a much more contemplative slice-of-life story with a quieter tone. Much of these changes came from Director Tatsuyuki Nagai and character designer and chief animation director Masayoshi Tanaka.
