Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day
"Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" brings together the same crew that worked on the awesome Toradora! back in 2008. The hype started building in December 2010, with Aniplex, Fuji Television, and A-1 Pictures teaming up to create the AnoHana Project.
Set in the city of Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture, "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" introduces viewers to Jinta Yadomi, a chill guy who prefers the cozy life, gaming away at home instead of dealing with school drama. But then, things take a turn when his childhood pal, Meiko "Menma" Honma, shows up out of the blue, bugging him to fulfill a forgotten wish. Jinta is nott really paying attention, brushing it off like it's no big deal; after alI, Menma passed away ages ago.Or did she?
As the summer heat intensifies, Jinta starts to wonder if he's just seeing things. But the more he tries to ignore it, the more he's convinced that Menma's ghost is haunting him. And that's not all -Jinta and his old gang of friends, who drifted apart after Menma's death, find themselves back together, trying to help her find peace in the afterlife. It's not going to be easy, though: they'll have to confront their own pain and guilt, and maybe - just maybe - find a way to move on together.
