TL's otaku group is pretty tight heh...

Unfortunately Galileo Donna is starting to disappoint, really hope Noitamina pulls through. Kill la kill is the saviour of all anime. Samurai Flamenco is interesting as hell but I can't help but feel that the tempo of the show is off somehow... Kyokai no Katana is good.

After my busy period I just have to go back and rewatch the last few seasons I've missed since my break from anime... Finish Hanasaku Iroha and move forward from there haha.

Heh you're not alone. My problem with the anime is that none of the characters seem very real to me, despite the time spent developing them. Wonder when the girlfriend will finally show up haha.

i was wondering for some time what is KnK T_T what a noob i am.

I think atm people use it to refer to Kyoukai no Kanata. KNK are also the initials for Kara no Kyoukai, also known as Ryakko. The two are not related.

It's not really a dark horse as the manga was out and pretty good. Also it's somewhat a butchery.

The manga is not that a big hit. The expectations were certainly much lower than kill la kill, knk or IS2. And now it's a potential candidate for the best seller of the season.

so many animes are out today! Exciting! XD Although WA2 still isn't though >.> Glad to see that IS2 cut it down on the harem stuff despite being a harem anime. Infact, I think that was one of the tamest episodes I've seen so far rofl. Figured it'll get reduced and won't compare to episode 5 and I was right XD
+ Show Spoiler [Infinite Stratos 2] +
Wonder what the sister is like. Supposedly next time. I did think we'll see more of her in the episode instead of underwear disappointing although I guess that's more harem chances XD

It won't. Remember what Ecael said about IS? He wasn't making predictions, he was stating fact. He has read the source, he knows what will happen. He knows the author is a hack. Expecting anything other than status quo painfully generic harem out of IS will only lead to disappointment.


You should question the taste for anyone who read through more than 3 volumes of IS. The anime is actually decent, and deserves the credit. But the source? just abysmal.

?

Anime is as shit as the source. You skip to see the waifu you want to see, skip again when appearance ended. Rinse and repeat till episode is over.

so I take it you read all of the source and watching the anime atm?

No it went below my expectation of being shit and drained all motivation I had of skipping through till I find Char/Tatenashi. I think I am behind by like 2 vols. As for anime, this is about the point where I got fed up w/ source, so I am probably just going to give up and look for gifs or something.

I see, fair enough. Maybe we'll get lucky and get an anime original ending or something lol.

Watched this. Cried at the start and end :'( Touching story. I thought at the start that he was just ignoring her and she can be seen only to realize later that only Jintan can see her. I liked the development of the story, the pace and all the secret conspiring that were going on even when they were kids. Hearing that Poppo saw her as she was drowning was crushing, same with hearing how it all played out One of the better animes I've watched. I'm happy that the authors had a proper ending for her. I would've been sadder if she just disappeared but once they had the messages then they could all see and hear her, felt like good closure to me. I can only imagine how they must all feel about losing her. Will write more since it's already late here.

PS: the message to Jintan, that she loves her and it's the love to get married was one of the most touching in the story. True love even if they are still teenagers.



Yeah, I mean it's pretty cheesy but it still got me towards the middle-end =(.

I think it's hard not to be cheesy. I mean, Imagine if Menma didn't do all that stuff or Jintan didn't react the way he did and instead it was all serious then I think he would lose a lot of readers because it's too serious. At the same time, just how serious can you be? I mean, we know the story:
+ Show Spoiler +
we know how most were involved that day. That Menma gathered them to make Jintan cry because she promised his mom then she ran after him after he left and slipped falling into the river and drowning. To them, this is so serious yet Menma was happy most times(Cried couple). It was in stark contract to the idea that she should be completely sad since she died. Her mother breaking down when they talked about the fireworks was so moving. 10 years and she still remembers. Time was frozen to her, must've been rough :'( It must also been rough for her son and husband seeing as the family wasn't as close and such after that.

I guess my point is, I loved the show, was happy that they all got a chance to confess and also to tell Menma how much they loved her especially Jintan who I feel should've been the first to tell her that he loves her, marriage type of love. I thought the ending was spot on and nice to see everyone back together and trying to improve themselves. Still a bit sad that now that she is gone since even if she is reincarnated, the age difference between them would be huge so even if they find each other somehow(she remember names if reincarnated), it won't be the same anymore. I feel that just saying that she wants to rest in peace and how much she loved them then leaving it at that might've been as good or better of an ending. Anyone else thought the same?.

lol is it? There were no rants there or anything >.> You make a good point and I was surprised that he wasn't. I like Mikasa's character. Strong willed, tough, etc... I actually had no clue it was being hyped when I picked it up. Seemed like another interesting story, cool characters etc...

I was joking about spoiling the show. Ya, I was talking about the beginning since I figured they'll work up to it so it was incoming. Remember, we dunno if they will go that far so I wouldn't get your hopes up until it happens. Always remember Toradora lol. ya, my mistake. Lots of different anime and I'm not that familiar with japanese names and such so I keep on forgetting and such. Dream: + Show Spoiler +
I was talking about the book that Touma was given by his friend then told to help him fulfill his dream.
.

+ Show Spoiler [White Album 2] +
it's interesting to see how white album's plot is progressing. Seeing Touma hit the ground was heart wrenching, the poor thing. I'm guessing she won't show up and then they'll get to her place and get her to a hospital or something. Haruki will spend time in the hospital and they will grow closer. On the other hand, Setsuna will be upset about her friend being sick but she might be jealous about Haruki being so close to her. I mean, she got kinda jealous and depressed because he spent time at Touma's place without telling her. She obviously has feelings for him and I think she developed them since the first episode. Touma is starting to develop them as well although she's still a bit in her own world. Setsuna wanting Haruki to call her by her first name was funny lol. btw, do you know what Touma was writing or doing in that book? I mean, we don't have much hints to go by but I wasn't sure if I missed something.


Forgot to ask, which one do you think he'll end up with or do you think it's a neither?


Well while it didn't have rants, it's just all the text you were replying to + your replies, if anything the rants are better to "look at" for other people since they are inside spoiler tags. Just didn't feel right quoting that one since it was kinda long. Yeah I never knew about Titan until the show was about to come out and a friend kept talking about it telling me to watch it, he still likes it, then again I started to hate Blizz before he did and he finally came around to that as well .

I really don't think they will stay in high school, seems like their school year is about to end, Haruki already got into college, Setsuna was talking to her parents how next year she'll go away to college as well etc etc, I'll say 10 episodes tops and we're in college with them. Yeah I knew what you meant by dream, but I mean remember at first he had totally given up on the band when everyone quit in episode 1 and he doesn't seem to be the bands #1 fan so idk if his dream is related to the band. Maybe music related yes but the band? idk I really have no idea.
+ Show Spoiler +
Also it was something Haruki's friend had not him.. he didn't seem to recognize it when Touma was waving it around with the teacher, I think if it was his or idk something of his he would have been like O.o when did Lizuka gave her that ? wtf. I thought that might happen but it didn't. I'm glad you watched the whole thing in one sitting lol, hardcore :O! that /whip is totally working .

Yes I agree about Touma, that crap with her at the end was like NOOOOOOOO TOUMA WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU D:!. Probably didn't sleep for several days before the concert and passed out when her system felt she stopped pumping adrenaline once she was "done". I don't know about that in the hospital, I think you're getting REALLY ahead of yourself. While yes there's been some moments in the show that show they like each other, I don't think we're in the realm of people like kissing/being overly affectionate towards each other yet. She'll probably go to the hospital but both Setsuna and Haruki will be there, just like they did after her freak out with the teacher in the music room, Haruki wants everyone to feel part of the group and that they're a "unit" not him and Touma and Setsuna on the outside that's what caused toothbrush-gate lol. While yes it is very obvious that Setsuna likes Haruki (Also Touma I mean she worked so hard for his "dream", no one would do that unless they liked someone A LOT), Setsuna worked so hard to recruit Touma for the band because Haruki wanted her there not because she had any particular attachment to the piano playing person she didn't know lol.

She got jealous I'll say 90% because of her past history with her friends and what happened there, she didn't want to feel left out of the new group she found, I think if she was perceiving that Touma was stealing Haruki romantically she would have pulled out the claws not just be all emo about it. It's obvious they both like Haruki and Haruki likes Touma because she's so cool and talented (not that Touma thinks she is lol), that part by the train when Touma pulls him off the train was like :O! TOUMA WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Haruki was like O_O WUT!?. Either way I think the "dream" is probably some sort of song or something and that's why Lizuka gave it to Touma who is very musically talented and all that, she was probably writing some music/working on some arrangements for the event? that's my best guess since like you I don't have much to go by.

If I had to "guess" which at this point is pretty difficult, I'll say Touma but I can't say that sure by much since he promised Setsuna that whole I'll never let you go and stop talking to you blah blah thing, I guess we'll find out, this show is going to be long and lots of shit will happen.

ya, no worries. Oh, I see about titan. Well, I'm hoping they don't say in high school lol and you make a good point.
+ Show Spoiler +
ya, I was surprised he didn't recognize it as well. It's from a while back(2007). Nah, it's only 5 episodes, not that hardcore Pull back da whip or else >.> Yes, that scene was sad. She obviously overworked herself at the worst time. Wonder how they will react. yes, I probably am but how are they going to build up their relationship? cmon, she has no family or rather one that hasn't seen her in a long time compared to Setsuna. I think Haruki knows that and that will make him make an effort to get closer to comfort her. It's just a guess though and possibly a bit out there. Toothbrush incident was funny. I remember reading the words toothbrush from your post a while back so I noticed lol. It was needed I think, to generate some drama.

yes, her history is pretty important and I agree. well, maybe not romantically but everything is heading in that direction so far. ya true true and that part was wtf to me as well. That promise might be a nail in the coffin for Touma although he said it as friends and not lovers. Who knows? I'm really interested to see what directions the show takes


+ Show Spoiler [Response] +

Well aren't they still in 2007? so the notebook is only like 1 month old, according to Touma's clock which they showed A LOT it was like november something, I'm mostly curious about the book than anything else at this point lol. WTF is it about? What is in it? What is the "dream"? Why did Lizuka gave it to Touma except for the fact that it seems she's totally into him and she's musically talented? Which is the one thing that makes me think it's musically related.

While she may not have any family none that we see (though in the first episode you can see her mom went to cheer for her at the concert), Haruki doesn't have any family to speak of either, her mom seems to be MIA from episode 1, all we know is that she exists because she left that note about dinner. But I don't think Haruki is that forward to be honest, I doubt he'll see her being in the hospital as an "opportunity" to do anything but take care of her which I doubt she'll do without Setsuna 99% of the time. But I could be wrong so we'll see next week.

For now I think Setsuna will make an effort to get closer to Touma and finally get her to call her by her first name , we'll see how that works out for her. I really do think she's making an effort to get close to Touma while obviously liking Haruki. Also there's one thing I wanted to ask, you remember when Setsuna and Touma were together in the music room in episode 4 when Setsuna asks her when they will be able to practice together and Touma says the weekend, Setsuna has this odd look for a second after Touma said that.. Am I looking too into it or do you think that look means anything?. They do sort of hint at Setsuna being overly fake sometimes, and there she had that odd look and then replied with a happy looking face suddenly. I don't think Haruki ever implied anything as lovers or otherwise with that, just that he'll stick around in her life no matter what unless she doesn't want him to be there any more, which is nice but again if Setsuna doesn't want him he's free to go :o. I don't think we'll see anything ROMANTIC like kisses or any advancements until after the concert, I think that's how they are handling things, once they open that can of worms is gonna get ugly so I think they are taking their time with that. This theory is helped by the fact that Haruki was saying how that was the last time they were all together and happy, so I think of it as you know no one was doing anything behind anyone's back and no one was declaring love for anyone we were just happy friends lol.


+ Show Spoiler [white album 2] +
good question, not sure XD I just saw 2007 on the front of the book. If it was a month back, I think that he would remember it. I'm wondering the same thing. Just what is in that book to make her work so hard. Maybe she knew it was him playing the guitar from way back and saw this as an opportunity to help him since they supposedly would play along each other from the different rooms.

ya, of course, we don't see her but we know she's there in person at least. I mean, with Touma, she's not there at all. She's in Paris the last three years so ya, imo, no comparison but I get your point. I'm not saying he'll see it as anything else but who knows how Setsuna sees it if she goes home for ex and he decides to stay by her bedside the first day or so if she's in bad shape? mostly speculating though and I'm sure things will be fine. haha ya that was funny. I think she just wants to be close friends so she's forcing them to use her first name lol.

umm maybe a bit too much into it? My guess is that Setsuna was surprised at either how fast they can play together or that Touma would know such an answer seeing as she doesn't see him play much in person. ya, he didn't at all. Setsuna might have other plans. We know she likes him and then putting the bunnies beside each other on the wall etc... is either a sign of something to come(what she's thinking) or I'm reading too much into it rofl. ya, nothing romantic yet, at least not until the concert is done then fireworks! haha true true. When did he say this?


still have to respond to your toradora rant although now I have to look for it with how fast this thread is moving >< Wanted to ask you guys, which would you guys recommend? Anohana or Non Non Biyori? I know they are quite different from each other but if you had to choose one to watch, which is the best pick? I was thinking Anohana but Non Non Biyori seems to be full of comedy which is something I like

Thread isn't moving any faster, your heart just isn't in it any more .
+ Show Spoiler +
Haruki said that like on the very first episode when they were showing that footage of the concert and then showed them like backstabbing each other over Haruki lol, watch the first episode again is like right at the beginning. Another question I wanted to ask you, but you took forever to reply to this you jerk. Did you see in the last episode when Lizuka was talking to Haruki and asking him "About that thing you made" then he saw Setsuna coming and shut him up? What was that thing he made? he made something? wtf was it? I have no clue what they were talking about, were they referring to the book Lizuka gave Touma? was he finally going to tell him he gave it to her? I'm very curious, that totally would have gone under the radar had I not watched it for like the 4th time .

Also yes I caught the whole thing with the bunnies, I think it means something as well. I still think her demeanor when Touma told her about the weekend meant something, she has a very odd and serious look on her face and then like YAY OKAY COOL OMG SO HAPPY!. Watch it again, I think you'll find yourself seeing stuff you missed before. I don't think they are hidden necessarily but there are so many other stuff going on that you don't pay attention to the "lesser" stuff or characters.

I'm pretty positive that we're in 2007, the clock says as much in fact I just watched the first few secs of episode 5 because I know they show that clock again it says 2007/11/18 Sun 15:12, so the notebook is from a month ago, maybe he just didn't identify it because he didn't see "October 2007" written on it. I don't think Touma will be in the hospital long enough or at all maybe for anything serious to happen, anyone to feel like OMG I CAN'T LEAVE THOSE 2 ALONE WTF /STAYS!. They finally got the "band" together, really together in episode 5 with that whole skipping class because Touma had a freak out moment, I think it will stay that way until after the performance, maybe they'll have a moment but Touma is in full denial mode about Haruki and Haruki know's she's a bit mean... so we'll have to wait for her to open up a little I think. Lol Almost forgot that closing spoiler tag, good thing I preview stuff before I click post.

Hearing that Poppo saw her as she was drowning was crushing, same with hearing how it all played out One of the better animes I've watched. I'm happy that the authors had a proper ending for her. I would've been sadder if she just disappeared but once they had the messages then they could all see and hear her, felt like good closure to me. I can only imagine how they must all feel about losing her. Will write more since it's already late here.

PS: the message to Jintan, that she loves her and it's the love to get married was one of the most touching in the story. True love even if they are still teenagers.


AnoHana gets almost everyone, it's made to make you cry if it doesn't you have NO HEART! you're a ROBOT!. Such a wonderful anime, I love that show so so much. It makes me cry every time but it's like happy tears, not sad about it really you're just overwhelmed by what happens that you just cry ;(. Excellent stuff. Glad you watched it.
Also for some reason I always liked this version of the song better than the one with the girls singing.

it still is but I feel like we've been rehashing the same points from when we first started discussing it but nevertheless, I shall respond then we can close it off unless there are things we missed.
+ Show Spoiler +
I would need to re-watch the first part of the first episode then. I remember he shut him up but I've watched a couple of other animes since so I need to re-watch that part lol. I can only guess its the book though since we weren't told he made anything else. You're the jerk for thinking I reply too slowly Sounds like someone's an addict. yes, the bunnies meant something, maybe to signify feelings or what she was thinking. umm, I will re-watch that part at some point but nevertheless, I still feel that her expression was one of, "how did she know?". Remember, she had no clue that they were hanging out to practice so how could Touma tell just like that. She was happy that he would join them and they can play white album together, not surprising tbh. You may be over analyzing

Clock had date? :O How did I miss that? lol. Fair enough, maybe he didn't recognize for that reason. Yes, probably not for long and I doubt Setsuna will think that. Just saying it's still a possibility to advance their relationship a bit further. Well, they have to stay that way till the performance. As it stands, they are friends and all are working hard for that performance. Anything less to them is disappointing I would think. It's gonna be a while before she opens up. btw, what other embarassing things happened to Touma when Haruki was there? I only remember him walking upstairs as she walked out of the bathroom.


AnoHana was a great anime. I only cried a bit but I guess I'm not a robot then? It's definitely great. Yes, overwhelmed about it. Still, + Show Spoiler +
cant help but feel a bit sad that Menma is 'gone' even if she will be reincarnated. Read my top spoiler^

+ Show Spoiler [White Album] +
Hmm well if you don't remember much from that first scene of the show then you should go take it a look, he says quite a few things in that part that has ramifications throughout the rest of the show at least so far. I'm slightly skeptic (though it's most likely the book) but why would he be embarrassed enough to shut him up so rudely as Setsuna got to school about the book? doesn't seem like the type of thing he would be embarrassed about UNLESS Lizuka took it upon himself to give it to Touma and IT IS something he would be embarrassed about. In which case it should be interesting to see what happens when he finds out about that lol. Also funny how Touma would go through so much trouble for "his dream" when she's in full denial mode about liking him lol. NOT ADDICTED, I can quit whenever I want . Nah just I feel the episodes have all these little details that I miss unless I watch the show a few times, I don't want to miss possible "clues" as to what might happen next. Also you didn't even noticed the clock with the date... so fail, lack of "addiction" totally makes you look bad lol.

The bunnies were too obvious, she had the bunny all by itself with her and then when she was happy with Haruki omg back with the white bunny, kind of funny how him saying her name totally made her night lol. Such a little thing. Okay that makes sense, yeah she seemed to be pensive for a little bit there during that scene. You know at first I didn't know the date of the show either, during WA1 it was like 90's and no one had a phone lol so since this one looked more modern I thought it was like 2012 or something, dunno why they picked 2007. Well if something DOES happen between either of them, I will be very curious to see what that is , but I don't think it would since remember everyone was happy until the performance lol. Why do you ask that? because of what Touma said when Haruki accidentally caught her coming out of the bathroom and she was super embarrassed?


I guess you're not a robot :O, I cried like a baby throughout the whole show lol. Too many feelings D:, I was cheering for that show's Minori the entire time haha, it seems nice that at the end they seem to connect at school, though who knows how that's gonna go after the way things ended with Menma.
+ Show Spoiler +
I think that's what made everyone love Menma so much, that she was such a happy little girl who cheered up everyone when they were down and made them even happier when they were in a good mood. Well I'm sure losing your kid is a scarring experience, one so cheerful and good specially I mean you can tell she brought joy into that house.

I don't think any type of reincarnation would have been good for the show or even a little realistic, though I guess that ship sailed when a ghost came back to visit her friends 10 years later <.<. BUT STILL, it would have been odd. I was 100% happy with that ending, it was just a beautiful thing coming to an ending that was perfect. That's why I love rewatching that show, it just feels like such a wonderful story and it ends in such a way that I'm left satisfied after I finish. I love Menma's character so much so I was never in a position to dislike her like I do Taiga haha, I mean who wouldn't love a girl like that? I felt bad the redhead was kind of left out and didn't have Jintan's attention but that's how shit was with Menma around, same for the other girl. Everyone was just drawn to Menma because of the way she was. I really look forward to that movie they made, want to watch it already, seems to have quite a bit of new footage so I would like to see if any new relationships flourished during that time if it's been long enough since Menma disappeared.

+ Show Spoiler [white album 2] +
ya, I plan to watch the first part again to see what I missed. Well, being skeptical about it is fine imo as long as its justified. Maybe there was something in the book that is very important to him that he doesn't want anyone to know about? hehe, maybe his dream meant something to her as well. Who knows though? YES YOU ARE! YOU ARE ADDICTED TO WHITE ALBUM 2! :O yes, I agree. Some episode have small hints that you need to watch for. I watched for the major stuff which is why I missed the clock lol. That and I've watched like 5 different animes with WA2 and time constraints so it's hard to remember everything you watched. Lack of addition is a good thing. I was addicted to Toradora and a bit to Anohana so I don't need more addictions ><; lol.

haha ya, well, she had no friends for 3 years. cmon, that's rough. I feel her pain. ya, you were just reading into it a bit too much imo. Yes, you're right, probably nothing will happen. Just fun to speculate yes, exactly. She said lots of embarrassing things have happened so it makes me wonder what they were because I only recall one of them.


+ Show Spoiler [Anohana] +
well, I feel like a robot at times. I didn't cry in Toradora even after seeing that Christmas episode several times. Same with all the other times in it. I think this was a first but even then, it wasn't a full on effect. Anohana only got me at the start due to just how heart broken I felt about what happened. I mean, cmon, imagine losing a friend who you loved a lot because they slipped and drowned in the river and it was partially your fault. I would feel so crushed. Heck, I felt crushed just hearing the story and seeing their pain. God, such a depressing thought >< Cried towards the end since I knew that she will depart soon enough and they won't see her again. Since the ending was what I had in mind, I would've been even sadder than Toradora :/

I loved Menma's character as well. I couldn't tell why they went all white but I think it was supposed to resemble purity. The way she acted with Jintan and such, so close. How everyone was torn apart by the incident and never spoke of it again. Getting goosebumps just writing this >.> I liked how as you mentioned, she was the happy kid. Always cheered everyone and never thought about hurting anyone even after she was told they are going after Jintan. I mean, you can't get any purer than that. The fact that they all still love her after all this time just shows what a wonderful person she was.

yes, agree. Reincarnation wasn't a good idea for the show. I'm just thinking if things continued after, even if reincarnated, I doubt she'll remember them and that makes me sad cmon, I love Menma's character as well. Thing with Toradora, even those the ending was a bit underwhelming, I know and pretty confident that they will continue things as they left them after she came back. In Anohana, it can't be continued Menma is gone! That's it! It's over! They will only be able to cherish the memories. It helped them to face their guilt and move on and they all at least got to speak to Menma and tell her how much they loved her but SHE'S GONE FOR GOOD! Somethings never work out like you want them to. Both Anaru and Yukiatsu were left out but that's because Jintan and Menma were so close as kids and loved each other even though they never said it directly. Yes, I look forward to movie as well. When is it coming out(I know it came Oct 29 or so in Jap)?

I been kind of busy so I forgot to reply to this, you know, I ALMOST replied to your previous post which I already replied to lol <.< dumb. Busy == distracted and forgetful for me, lame. By the way seems like you're totally addicted to like 10 different shows atm lol O.o, your grades will SUFFER!.
+ Show Spoiler [White Album 2] +
I was talking to a friend I convinced to watch the show and he also did NOT notice a bunch of stuff from that first episode, those glimpses of the future they show and what not so you're not alone. That's why I watch the episodes a few times to make sure I GOT EVERYTHING. I was only confused about the toothbrush thing because I thought Setsuna had gone home and somehow took the toothbrush with her lol, that didn't make sense so once I realized she was staying over I was like THAT MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE!. No I'm not addicted, I'm just being meticulous about it lol THERE'S A LOT OF DETAIL!.

I still don't know what all those embarrassing things are tbh lol, I haven't been able to recall or watch the episodes again. Off the top of my head... well maybe when she pulled him off the train that might have been embarrassing to her because it looked very out of character. Besides that nothing else. My friend told me he thinks the book thing is a song, which makes a lot of sense but I'm wondering if that song has vocals lol so maybe she'll bring in Setsuna at some point to help, man that's a lot of work for her to pass out like that just to work on something for someone she's busy pretending she doesn't like .

You're this forums new anime addict, watching like 20 shows at once this season lol. I was reading some of the stuff you were yapping about and I'm like who the fuck is Lucia or whatever name I don't remember any more. I'm addicted to one and you're addicted to all of them :O!.
+ Show Spoiler [AnoHana] +
Toradora got me a couple of times as I mentioned before, I don't mind, the moments when that happened were really deserving haha. Yeah the whole story of AnoHana is like PREPARE TO CRY LIKE A BABY BECAUSE YOU WILL!. A little girl drowned at such a young age and all her friends were destroyed by the accident as so were their friendship, every character that was touched by the tragedy had deep scars so when you saw how they reacted to the mention of Menma it was pretty heart breaking. Specially her mom and just her whole family.

The whole character of Menma has that effect, it will make you cry to see how pure and good she was, I don't think anyone could do anything but love her deeply and lament her death so so much. If she was "flawed" I don't think it would have the same effect, she was really something and it was interesting to see how she contrasted with her friends, they all had these thoughts of jealousy, envy and even hatred towards her or each other but she was just happy and always tried to make everyone happy.

I'm happy with the ending, was one of the best endings I've ever watched rivaled by maybe Code Geass and Gurren Lagann (this is based on how satisfied I was with it not anything else). I mean her coming back brought them all together again which is wonderful and something she's probably extremely happy to do. Can't think of a better effect from her "visit", yeah sure everyone confessed how they all loved her etc which was lovely and obviously made me cry but the ending just leaves everyone satisfied despite their best friend being dead. Can't get better than that. Will definitely watch it again at some point haha . I feel bad she won't be in their lives but I don't mind that, she touched their lives in incredibly positive ways before and after her death so now they can move on knowing she was happy when she left. I'm not sure when the movie comes out to be honest, I think it came out a while back but I haven't seen any subs for it T_T so I'll wait eagerly . I want to see how everyone moved on after the show ended. I feel a bit sad saying "moved on" but I think that was the whole point of her visit, so you know it's okay if they did even if Nanaru and Jintan became a thing.


You still owe me a Toradora rant so GET TO IT! /whip.
:O! I SAW YOUR NEW SIG OMG WHAT? COMPARING TAIGA TO MENMA? YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW, DELETE SIG RIGHT THIS SECOND YOUNG MAN OR NO MORE COMPUTER FOR YOU . Seriously though, wtf not even in the same league, you're fucked up man.

Found it! lol.
+ Show Spoiler [White Album 2] +
ya, I agree. Don't think it's a bad idea tbh. I just don't have the time to rewatch a lot of episodes again otherwise I would've lol. ah I see, thought it was something else with the toothbrush. Being meticulous is good lol.

hmm not sure eihter. She did the train pull though so it's her fault lol. yes, exactly but why would that be a 'dream'? It just seems weird to me tbh. I'm not sure what to think of it. Maybe we'll find something in the newest episode

+ Show Spoiler [Anohana] +
ya, definitely. Toradora almost got me I feel like Anohana could've done a better job. At the beginning, it was ok but then I felt the comedy overpowered the main message of the story. I mean, comedy was needed but still, the issue is supposed to be serious and well, I feel that part fell short.

hmm yes pure and good but it felt more comedic at times and took away from the main message. I still loved her character though which is why she's in my sig lol. She was not the same as her friends. She was too pure when compared to them. They were plotting behind her back and such even when they were kids lol.

ya, I'm ok with the ending now. Wished there was more of the anime though which is why it disapponted me at first. ya, true true. Thought the same after finishing it and more so now as well. I will watch again in the distant future Everyone did seem to finally move on after that, so I think it was good. Can't wait to see the movie either. Maybe Jintin hooked up with anaru? lol.


ps still need to find that Toradora rant ><

wtf? how is it that in one episode, she goes from friends to loving him because he doesn't want to be her friend anymore. Man, that's so out there. I can understand her not wanting to lose him but cmon, that's way way too fast considering she still loves Mitsuo. That koko lol. Also, didn't think that Tada will actually admit to Linda that he knows about the past and how they were close. Felt like these developments all came out of left field. Anyone else feel the same way? Their relationship escalated way too fast considering he got rejected just two episodes back. Funny part when he gave both Mitsuo and Koko to the tea club. So cruel rofl.

Having said that, wonder how Linda will take their next meeting together. It's too bad that it's obvious in what direction their relationship is moving into. Would've loved if he regained his past self with the memories of today but ended up with Linda than Koko since to me, seems like Linda's background with him and her not telling him anything to avoid overwhelming him(imo) is all because she wants the best for him. Koko on the other hand, it's just because he stopped being her friend.


+ Show Spoiler [Nagi no Asukara] +
well, episode was ok. Hikari being more of the same. I thought he changed a bit in terms of Manaka but he's still the same old, "I love you but can't tell you so I'll just be mean to you and this is my way of caring". Spare me lol. So far, it seems that both land and sea kids are getting used to each other's companies and such, good to see. Wonder how things will change in the next episode


+ Show Spoiler [Non Non Biyori] +
haha this show just keeps on getting better and better. Ren is probably the best character although the sisters and Hotaru aren't bad. Ren keeping on such a straight face even when she says the oddest things. Naming a crab she caught as salt rofl. Her sister saying that Komo's height is average for a fourteen year old ... in the Meizen(?) era or Hotaru going crazy over everything that Komo does lol. Good comedy and nice to know that it does it really well. Hopefully, they'll keep it as is and just continue with more episodes and such although I have to wonder how they will stop this kind of anime since there isn't really an ending. I mean, they finish school and move to Tokyo?

H-neun getting killed was really unexpected. Seeing Cain as a magika must've made him question who Cain is or rather his purpose. I would've liked to see what went down in that room though :/ X-eins, well, good luck to him if he's going to keep following Cain as much as he does. H-neun won't be around to at least make him question Cain. Wonder what the ceremony was going to be though. If X-eins supposed to be a vessel of some kind? lol.
