If only we had an entire series about the Doozy Bots fighting against misguided robots who want to build an army, and rob the world of fun. Also there is a bird that shits out eggs, and little Doms hatch from them. And a Z'Gok is the main bad guy. Black kid in the wheel chair gets to be the Guntank. Poor bastard. | ||

It might be a BIT exaggerated, but the idea of having crushes on people and acting all childish about it is not uncommon in the slightest. You can not like the characters, and you can look at the show and say that you didn't enjoy the drama, but Anohana's perception of childish romance (which is why it seemed "dumb") and the aftermaths of dealing with the death of a loved one (trauma/depression/etc) at young age were pretty realistic in my opinion. I didn't know that it was common for children to live their whole lives blaming themselves for their best friend's death. | ||

I dont get it Yeah, and I just finished Gantz, man that was fked up, the characters are really unlikable and the pacing really sucks The Statue arc however was badass The reason the statue arc was bad ass was because that was what was in the manga lol. Everything after that wasnt. The hobo arc or w/e was pretty much a wrap up arc since they couldnt really start the next arc without leaving a HUGE cliff hanger as a finale so they decided to do their own finale. I think their finale was pretty decent I guess since they were kinda force to end it there. | ||

Because F/Z doesn't actually explain everything and you are better off reading the full length of FSN (the VN since the anime doesn't tell you shit) and watch F/Z knowing the out come of the HGW | ||

Poor bastard. at 1:42 , "These misguided robot must be stop! Before they build and army and rob the world of FUN!" I see the inspiration for SD Gundam now. They just couldnt let the Doozy Bots effort go to a waste. | ||

Well now you do, it isnt unreasonable at all. People you are close to/love dying is a big deal. Its even worse when your a little kid and it takes alot of getting over. Also 6 odd years is not a whole life, but then again maybe girls stop existing once they grow older for you ? :p Im a few episodes in I like it better than I did Madoka at the same point. | ||

But looks aren't everything!  Anyway, the premise of AnoHana is that these kids all have some kind of mental issues because their mutual best friend died when they were six or whatever. How old are they in the show? Sixteen? Fifteen? That's still 9-10 years, which is most of their lives to that point. But my point is that I don't think that many kids go through most of their lives thinking that they killed their best friend when they were young. But maybe I'm thinking about things too literally. It may be better to just assume that we all have things that we regret/feel pain about from our childhoods. | ||

I would actually say that show is actually pretty damn good if I was that little and during that time. But how the hell did sunrise go from THAT to Boozy Bots?! Shouldnt it be the other way around? lol I guess that why they didnt released Boozy Bots | ||

The dragged out parts of the story that could've simply been solved in one episode and the horrible melodrama that made me laugh more than anything was too much to bear. The OP and ED were nice though.  This. It was melodramatic at the worst parts, and pretty much all of the characters had no growth, and were selfish pricks. The only sane ones were Jintan and Popo. (not going to mention how menma is a 'grown-up' ghost, by the will of the universe) You'd think by the end of the series, they'd be all crying over the fact they lost their friend? Nope. Yukiatsu is still a retarded cross-dresser who is jealous, Anaru showed more growth than the rest, but continually only thought of herself throughout the series. Tsuroko? Forgot her name, the megane chick-- she was the most disconnected out of the lot, and ends up trying to write herself back into the story with a one-sided-crush shitck, that was pretty obvious regardless. No one is going to sympathize with her. And Popo is Popo. All in all, it had good animation and art, with the music being it's most excellent aspect. I though the insert of secret base into the last minute of some of the episodes made for a good dramatic effect. The ending with the notes was kind of nice also, despite wanting to strangle Menma the entire series over the fact that she resembles that awful Index, I still felt for her in the end. | ||

She is just like any other girl yet everyone will think you are insane but if you are in love with a ghost and you can feel, talk and see her, then what wrong with that? Dont forget that there is always the possibility that her spirit is willing to stay and be with him too if he can convince her too. Just move out to the country side and live a long and peaceful life with her. Heck! She even bake cookies at one point! So tell me again what wrong with falling in love with a ghost? Of course we are assuming she doesnt want to kill you and haunt you obviously. I would be willing to fall in love with a ghost. | ||

Its like Carnival Phantasm, except for Gundam, and its all SD. this one amuses me too. I need to just sit down and watch these in their entirety. Apparently the ZZ Gundam and the Messala are lolicons. | ||

Didn't she begin disappearing at one point, and you'll look like a crazy person because no one else can see her What your describing is the Yosuga no Sora ending. Move out to the country side and have a peaceful life. So having a relationship with a ghost is similar to incest? lol | ||
