It was one of those anime that you watch and said to yourself, “I’ll cry in this series”. Finding a tear-jerker anime is something that is hard to find. Particularly if you left your heart at the freezer. AnoHana brought us the troubled gang of Jinta to the road to recovery. Every episode didn’t waste [...]

Ano Hana Final: The Blooming Flower of That Summer
25/06/2011 – 13:26
It wasn’t as tearful as I expected. The last episode of Ano Hana bring more crying, and emotional breakdown that it came of forced, and to my personal taste, funny. Thinking as I watched made me come up with an idea of naming this episode, cry porn. What made the last episode stunning is the [...]
Ano Hana 10: Fireworks
19/06/2011 – 11:00
How can I begin to tell you how AWESOME this episode is. Ano Hana has proven that it can provide an emotionally moving series under 1 cour. The level of emotion, the gravitas of the deep-sinking thought of being stuck, regretting, standing still … has never been so presented in such manner of great relation.
Ano Hana 9: Menma and Everyone
12/06/2011 – 17:09
The secret is out. Everybody suddenly went tense to the fact, that Menma is actually there. Old relationships shows, more and more it hurts people than it heals them. In this case, Yukiatsu and Anaru.
Ano Hana 8: I Wonder
04/06/2011 – 15:28
That was one hell of an emotional roller-coaster ride of events. Almost everybody exploded with guilt, envy, regret in this episode. Pretty much, the effects of Menma has just shown, how much people are suffering for her being there. Well, being there without doing anything that is. We can see that the gang is slowly degenerating the [...]
Ano Hana 7 – The True Wish
28/05/2011 – 15:58
This episode got us a lot of Anaru and Jin-tan development here, as well as to show us how Jin-tan isn’t just your typical shut-in, traumatized emo teenager. Memna does have its moments in this series, particularly near the end seeing Jin-tan’s perseverance toward her wish. But, what I see is mostly Anaru and Jin-tan’s [...]
Ano Hana 6: Forget me, Forget me not
22/05/2011 – 17:56
Ano Hana never losses its caliber when it comes to emotional drama. It doesn’t stop, nor, goes flat in delivering development among characters. It either maintains, or exceed its previous predicament. This weeks episode increases the tension from the last one, and it goes to develop Jintan to his old leader self, which Anjou sees [...]
Ano Hana 05 – Tunnel
16/05/2011 – 12:31
Ano Hana 5 bring the cliffhanger down to a spectacular end. Thinking about it, the episode title makes appropriate sense that everything in this episode talks about moving on. Yukiatsu’s demise is played wonderfully, that it didn’t come off as something of a out-of-place scenario. We get to see how he’s so affected on what happened to Menma, [...]
AnoHana 05 – White Ribbon Dress
09/05/2011 – 11:54
The more I watch it, the more teary-eyed I get. Ano Hana delivered an unexpected twist to this game of “regret” pulling a gusty revelation that is simply stretched far beyond what my melodrama radar can reach. If Telenovela weren’t so cheesy and full nothing of petty love and more on conveying an actual character development, then I would had [...]
AnoHana 03: Search of Menma Association
03/05/2011 – 12:47
It would be an insult if I keep writing Ano Hana in my well-spring commentary segment. For such a series praised for the wonderful heart-aching bittersweet moments, it deserves to have a week-by-week commentaries on this blog. Since, the editor-in-chief will not touch something that has a freshness of his personal bitter past. I’ll take the initiative to do it instead, or [...]
