Moe in Noitamina. It was a risk. Especially after how Fractale screwed up so badly, seeing A-1 try again in a
timeslot whose audience has always been at older audiences with the same teenagers that anime is filled
with… I definitely had some doubts right before this series started. And then Ano Hana aired and turned out
one of the best written shows of the season.
Ever heard of the phrase “short but sweet”? This is the key to the best Noitamina-series out there: most of
them can only be eleven or twelve episodes long, so they really need to know how to use their time, and this
series is a brilliant example of how this timeslot should be used. It leaves no moment wasted, it never drags,
and it’s always developing its characters, delivering heavy drama, and moving back and forth between
showing new things about its characters and fleshing them out.
The show follows six teenagers as they deal with their pasts. All six of them end up as well rounded
characters, with their strenghts and flaws: one is an airhead, another is an asshole, another is socially
awkward. This series juggles all of them together brilliantly. The acting is excellent and this show is even
able to breathe life into the side characters of this series.
Now, this is the kind of series where the characters write the plot. If you like series that have a complex
storyline, you don’t need to go for this series: this is just a coming of age drama, but it’s amongst the best I’ve
seen. It is very dramatic though: this series really pushes to get as much drama into 11 episodes as possible
without making itself shallow: all of the drama here is meaningful and brings out the best of the characters,
but if you like series with more restrained and composed acting, you might want to look elsewhere.
If you are looking for an emotional roller coaster however: watch this. Few series can boast to be this well
laid out, especially when so small. Everything fits just perfectly. I’m not a fan of moe, but this show is so
good that it immediately won me over.
9/10 – Brilliant at juggling around its drama, never leaves a moment wasted, although the
drama can get a little heavy-handed for some.
10/10 – A complete tear-jerker; wonderfully rounded characters that play off each other
Characters:
amazingly.
Production- 9/10 – No still frames, no recycled scenes, fluid animation, detailed art, excellent soundtrack.
Values:
An overall job really well done in every aspect.
Setting:
9/10 – A soothing village back in a forest. Down to earth.
Storytelling:
Suggestions:
– Asatte no Houkou
– Clannad After Story
– True Tears

Posted on with categories: Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-Tachi wa Mada Shiranai
And it’s finally the time of the season again to review the large batch of series ending. The first one is Ano
Hana, and really: I don’t expect any of the other series in the next few weeks to come even close to this one.
There is just no way. This episode was completely amazing and it pretty much cemented this series as my
favourite series of 2011 so far.
the creators really wanted this to end with a tear-jerker, and BY GOD, they succeeded! It’s not the kind of
episode that tries to be as sad as possible, but god dammit it was emotional. Just about every character
unleashed the final bits of his or her development. Every character got the chance to vent his or her lungs and
confess about his or her problems. Everything came together magnificently. I cried more at this episode than
at any other episode of this show so far.
This show… this show really knew how to save the best for last. Menma’s wish is so simple, yet brilliant. It
ties everything about Jinta together. It wasn’t something epic, but just a small detail about one of the friends
she grew up with. Or Poppo, who finally revealed that… he actually saw what happened in that river. It was
clear that he had a secret, and this episode made such a wonderful use of that. THIS is how you build up plot
twist and make them hit as hard as possible!
The ending also was just bittersweet. Sure, it still remains unclear why Menma was a ghost, or why everyone
was able to see her at the final time, but really: who cares. Ghosts just work that way, and it didn’t go against

anything that this series built up for. It was truly excellent as the emotional climax of this series.
There’s just one overused cliche in this episode: Menma’s airheadedness, or “I like everyone as friends”. This
is a bad twist because anime often use it to sneak their way around having to seriously develop romance. Can
we really fault Anohana for that, though? With Menma, she just feels like a kid who just isn’t bothered with
romance, even though everyone around her is. In terms of that, she was a great character. It’s perhaps not
exactly realistic, but even then it has some of the most natural characters of the season, aside from perhaps
Showa Monogatari that nobody watches.
Overall, A-1: we couldn’t have asked for a better apology for Togainu no Chi and Fractale. I love these
people, and this is the second time they produced something of classic material, after Birdy the Mighty. Not
since Asatte no Houkou have I watched a teenaged drama without anything else that I liked this much (and
with Asatte no Houkou only half the cast was actually teenager). Just about everything fits here and nothing
feels wasted or out of place. This really was a wonderful watch.

What a wonderful penultimate episode. Everything is just culminating to that final climax of this series. Once
again, this episode was just full of emotions and it continued to push its characters forward.

It was clear that the fireworks arc was going to be an anti-climax: there was no way in which that really
would be Menma’s wish, but damn: this episode nearly made me believe that ti was. The build-up to the
eventual launch was really quite sad, especially with Jintan not wanting her to go away. Yet at the same time,
his personality would never have made him actually stop the launch. Beyond that though, everyone was
somehow deeply emotionally involved in the launch. The climax, now that Menma didn’t disappear, is
looking out to be amazing.
Overall, I’m going to wait until next week before claiming whether or not this was my favourite show of the
year. This season also has a lot of series that go past 13 episodes for once, so I also can’t say yet whether it’s
going to be the best series of the season. But what I can say is that it has the best eleven episodes of the past
season. It left no moment wasted, it always sought to give more depth to its characters and the characters
always made sure for hard-hitting and confronting drama. It’s exactly the kind of story that belongs in
Noitamina.

Ah, it’s almost a shame that there are just two episodes left, but that’s the strength of a good Noitaminaseries: they’re short, but really, really sweet. This episode was the calm before the storm: preparing
everything for that finale, and it’s promising to become an awesome one that is going to involve every single
character significantly.

I really liked how both Jinta and Poppo nearly broke their character. Unlike Yukiatsu who isn’t afraid to show
his personal feelings or Naruko who is terrible at hiding them, both of them have been quite good at dodging
these things. This time, even that composure broke. Especially Jinta, who right now is the one threatening to
screw everything up.
As to the “big plothole” of this series, I think that it has a lot to do with this. While it remains questionable
why Menma waited so long on announcing her presence, it is clear now why Jinta didn’t push her to do that:
it’s pretty much as Yukiatsu said; Jinta wants to stay with Menma and wants to have her for himself, while at
the same time he still has parts of the attention whore that he was when he was younger.
Meanwhile, Tsuruko also finally showed some new things of herself. She really is going to be a big mystery
for that ending as well: she’s the most composed member of the cast so she really had relatively few scenes to
show her character off compared to the more unstable characters, but with Yukiatsu getting stranger and
stranger (he’s also hitting on Naruko now? Is this because he’s interested in her or because he just wants to
take everything away from Jinta?) we finally get to see that she too has at least a crush. Her character was
invaluable to the series, though. It showed that the cast wasn’t entirely made up out of people with issues. It
was exactly what the cast needed here for variety.

Even for Ano Hana standards, this episode was amazing. I mean, how much can you stuff into an episode
anyway? This episode went from heart-wrenching scene to heart-wrenching scene, and it just kept going!
Each time showing new things about the cast, sharp dialogue and a huge heap of sincerity.
First there was Menma’s mother who actually lashed out at the group as a whole, then Yukiatsu forced Jinta
to just go on on his own, Anjou confessed the feelings she had when she was younger, Jinta had a great scene
together with his father, then Menma’s brother came along and as a desert Menma finally had the guts to
make her presence known to the others. Heck, every single part here would have made for an amazing
episode, but this episode found a way to put them all in the same episode. Now THAT’s how you take
advantage of Noitamina!
I always found it a bit of a plothole that Menma didn’t just make stuff float in front of the group. Still, this
episode showed that she can probably only bump into stuff, and probably thought that that wouldn’t be
enough to convince people of her existence (she’s good at running away and all).
In any case though, this episode was also really good for one of the biggest strengths of this series: the way in
which it puts so much meaning into its dialogue. The script in this series is masterfully written, in order to get
as much out of the characters as possible. The characters here are both big liars, and surprisingly true to their
feelings: they’re really able to express what they’re feeling, and this series does that in a way that I haven’t
seen in a long, long while.

This probably is the moe-est show that I’ve ever considered as my favourite of a season. I mean, I have
enjoyed teenaged drama romances before and all, but not to the point where they were done this well in such
a short time. More than any other series this season, this series really nails the feelings of its lead characters
and it continues to push their relationships forward. This episode was slightly special, though: for once it
focused especially on Jinta and Menma.
Instead, I can only see this episode as a build-up red herring. That’s nothing bad, by the way. Some of my
favourite stories use these red herrings. Rather than pointless, I love it when done well, they are excellent in
fleshing out the characters and story, and the same pretty much happened here: the whole rocket story has
nothing to do with Menma’s wish and all, but this episode really stressed the bond and the memories that the
main characters made with each other.
By the way, it’s great that Noitamina has been pretty much consistently amazing for the past five seasons
here: for the past five seasons and eight series since the timeslot turned into an hour long, there pretty much
has been an amazingly well written series on, with the best still being Spring 2010. 2010 was overall a
mediocre year, but THAT was the best season that Noitamina ever had). Heck, pretty much the only mistake
during this period was Fractale. As for Anohana, I’d probably put it somewhere in the bottom of the top 8 of
my favourite Noitamina series. Where exactly entirely depends on the ending.

I absolutely love how this show delves into the minds of its characters. This episode yet again had me teared
up, and again it’s not just because of one character, but a whole bunch of them. I mean, most series pick one
or two characters do develop each episode: this show does this with nearly every character for nearly every
episode. Even Yukiatsu and Chiriko, who had a relatively small role in this episode, were great. I especially
love how honest Yukiatsu has become.
The real meat of the episode though was about Jinta finally going to school, Naruko suffering through endless
gossips about what happened in the previous episode and Menma only worrying about others. With all these,
this show has a nice habit of not just showing characters, but it also keeps showing characters telling how
they feel about other characters. Whether right or wrong, it’s actually a great way to flesh them out by
showing how they seem in the eyes of someone else.
As for Menma, this episode could have given a really big hint as to why Menma is staying behind as a ghost.
Running away is a huge concept of this series. The most apparent is of course Jinta, but the rest of the cast
also tends to have this. Menma keeps avoiding talking about herself. I mean, did Jinta ever apologize for
what he said to her, right before she died? It’s of course not going to be this simple, but I do think that
something in that direction is her wish.

That was yet again amazing. Again, every character played a major role in this episode and nobody was left
out. This series really never fails to pull at my heartstrings.
I love how the creators actually made Yukiatsu work as a character despite his cross-dressing antics. The way
he composes himself right after his little break down makes him much more than just another insane
character, and this series brilliantly combined these crazy plot twists with the down to earth setting here. I
also loved how he acknowledged how cliche it was that he saved Naruko from being taken advantage to,
even though the way in which he did it wasn’t cliched at all.
And heck, this episode did touch upon a very important issue in this series: why did Menma appear in front
of Jinta? I mean, okay she was in love with him and all, but it probably isn’t this shallow: throughout the
series we kept seeing how she wanted to be together with everyone; her crush on Jinta seems completely
gone now.
By the way, I really have to say that, leaving the episodes she wrote of Simoun and Red Garden aside, that
this is the best original screenplay that Mari Okada has written so far. There is just so much emotion put into
it and everything is just so incredibly balanced. And that while she’s working on two other series this season
as well!

What makes an amazing 11~13-episoded series is completely different from what makes an amazing 24~26
episoded series. The latter has time to build up and flesh out characters. The former however doesn’t need
that luxury, and needs to deliver right from the start. And Anohana did that wonderfully: all four episodes so
far have delivered, and all have been amazing so far.
The strength of this episode was that it took the heart-wrenching formula and added even more to it: a
completely weird plot twist. When Hana-Saku Iroha did this with its third episode, it lost part of its charm,
but this episode retained the tension and the emotional connection, while it also showed how Jinta isn’t the
only guy member of the cast who completely lost it.
The awesome thing about this episode was that just about every character shined: Matsuyuki for insulting
himself, Jintan for having the guts to actually try and talk to him, Chiriko for getting tired of him, Menma for
consistently encouraging Jinta, Tetsudo for joining her and trying to keep the group together and Naruko for
still trying to get Jinta to go out more. These characters all have their flaws, but this show always makes them
play with these flaws.

It’s been a long, long while since I watched a series that made me teary-eyed on such a consistent basis as
Anohana. It’s got the most amazing cast of characters that consistently try to develop each other. These
people feel real and the acting is absolutely amazing. I mean, even Hourou Musuko needed a number of
episodes to get going!
Anohana is really about growing up: some of the characters here already have, while Jinta refuses to do so
and Poppo just doesn’t care. The same goes with the rest of the cast, and this friction between the ones who
have grown up and the ones who didn’t is amazing to watch, especially with such detailed characterization.
These characters just keep telling more about themselves and becoming more rounded and versatile. This was
an especially good episode for Tsurumi.
Three episodes in, and I only managed to spot one cliche: the dead mother. It’s a bit unnerving that BOTH
Noitamina series this season have the dead mother syndrome, but Anohana even makes good use of that one.
Living in a dysfunctional family had a massive impact on Jinta and probably even strengthened his trauma,
let alone seeing him first lose his mother and then one of his best friends. The thing remains though that the
easiest way for a character to have a dysfunctional family is hardly ever used: we hardly ever get to see
people with divorced parents. Out of the top of my head, I can only think of two that did that: Noein and
Kuragehime. Oh, and Hana-Saku Iroha.

what games are good on the wiiu currently? Super Smash, bayonetta, the 58th mario kart game, the 107th new zelda game. These are

The greatest mistakes of Nintendo is nostalgia whoring and making consoles which are third party unfriendly. Out of the big three
Nintendo was the only one still putting fun as first priority. Nintendo games are solid games.
Honestly out of the current console gen Nintendo is the only one worth a damn. They may not have a lot but they still got some system
selling games on the Wii U. Whereas Sony and Microsoft have got jack shit.
PC is dominating the games industry.

Knights of Sidonia S2: Battle for Planet Nine review – 73/100
The second season of Sidonia makes a number of mistakes that a lot of second seasons do. That namely being
that the anime slows down and introduces characters and conflicts that are often resolved in a undetermined

Though the majority of the episode was of the same antics I have been complaining about in previous

I think something is wrong when I consider a protagonist from a movie these characters are watching a more
compelling lead than our current one. I was surprised when starting the episode to see a sudden rise in visual
quality only for it to turn out to be a movie within an anime. Actually I […]

Little Witch Academia The Enchanted Parade – 81/100
I wonder when it was that a film being childish became a flaw. As a medium grows it takes steps to aim to
mature itself and seek a more intellectual level of presenting entertainment. Animation did it as Anime aimed
to explore terrontry that cartoons refuse to explore and video games only recently broke away […]
Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Bladeworks Review – 85/100
For a long time now this adaption has been the dreams of many a Fate fan with many believing it would
never come to pass, but now that it is here is it everything that we dreamed? Short answer to this is no, long
answer is nearly. I feel this show will have many divided […]
Shirobako Review – 80/100
When you see a harem anime and sigh as the breasts of the female lead jiggle with every step and wind that
can flip a skirt it’s easy to forget that somewhere in Japan a group of people worked hard to get that jiggle
right and draw each frame of animation. The hardships of the […]

Nerawareta Gakuen Review – 84/100
Let me talk a bit about Ryousuke Nakamura. For a long time, this guy was my hero. He started off as an
assistant director to Monster, in my opinion a big reason why that series got such a ridiculously solid
adaptation, and then in 2008 he came with the groundbreaking Mouryou no Hako. No TV-series […]
Kick Heart
Okay, so I didn’t want to exit 2013 without having seen Masaaki Yuasa’s Kick Heart. It’s only twelve minutes
anyway, and I consider him to be one of the best anime directors out there. The story here is pretty silly and
mostly serves as a backdrop, so I mostly want to talk about the nature […]
Kyousogiga Review – 90/100
Everyone’s taste is different, and that’s a wonderful thing because that allows us to have so many different
forms of media that all aim toward their own niche. My blog is obviously written from the perspective of my
own taste, and even when a show doesn’t cater to it (which is nearly always), I love […]
Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Lovecome o Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru
Review – 80/100
Noucome! You do not want to know how long I have been waiting for a series like this. More than half a
decade, at the very least. Finally a series comes along and puts the incredibly overused harem genre in its
place. And it actually does it well. Thank you! So to elaborate: the harem […]

Pokemon: The Origin Review – 75/100
Normally I try to avoid spoilers with these reviews, but screw it, it’s Pokemon. Pokemon The Origin is a
bomb of nostalgia. If you haven’t played Pokemon Red, Blue or Green, then you will not enjoy this one slight
bit. This really is made as pure undilluted fanservice for the fans of the first games. […]
Tamayura – More Aggressive Review – 75/100
I’m not going to dedicate a post for my impression for the final three episodes of this series. It was just too
boring to write much about. I guess that that gives a pretty accurate indication of what I think about this
series. Right at the start of Tamayura’s second season, I asked one question: […]
