MY EYES! THEY ARE CRYING LIKE WATERFALLS!
Contrary to what I said in the review, at the time of this video you CAN purchase a copy of Anohana, though it will not be the special edition version that I had on camera. The new version is cheeper though, so that's cool :)

I gotta say I just finished watching this, literally 5 mins ago, and I have got to say *Fuck.* *That.* *Ending!!* I cried my heart out all through that ending scene. And I'm glad I did. I'm not an emotional guy. I find it hard to display any sort of emotion. I tend to just let things boil up inside me and I need something as a release. That ending gave me that release. Thank you Tristan for sharing this amazing work of art that has helped me through this troubled time of mine.

Once I finished the series, lets just say I was so close to crying I had to bite my finger to stop myself. Whenever I hear the opening theme I start to get goosebumps and the "heart-melting" part. Some people might call me a crybaby, I'll call them heartless pricks. Its all part and parcel of life. Great anime 9/10

[@afeather1]

JellyDonutSquirt On my first watch I felt that Angel Beats was sad but not tears worthy imo, but on the second watch I did tear up a little. My problem with AB was just the number of episodes, if there was even one more it could've been a much better show imo.

[@aisham5485]

Was I the only one who felt the ending wasnt tragic? it seems everyone is gushing about how sad of an ending it is. We knew from day one that Menma is dead, so her send off at the end felt relieving more than anything, like when you complete a quest. Yes its bittersweet. But not TRAGIC.

[@cecilia5151]

yeah I feel the same way. Your lie in april was sadder in my opinion.

[@legotrillermoth]

People aren't really sad about Menma, they're sad about her friends losing her.

Idk i felt like i could relate to these characters alot more.This anime moved me to the point where just seeing some of the scenes in this review almost made me choke up, which is not normal for me at all. To date this is the only one that actually made me have to wipe tears off of my cheeks.

[@terronova]

Yeah I felt it was happy. I mean, she was a ghost, so of course she would pass on. That she did was a GOOD thing. Her friends reuniting and grieving her is a GOOD thing.

¿Cómo es que no he visto este comentario antes?

[@Toucanbird]

Ano Hana is one of my favorite anime of all-time. I'm glad to see you review this, Arkada. I was also thinking it's a good one to fill in the Clannad void. The one thing I can say about Ano Hana is that it's not really that sad, just emotional. I know the last few episodes had me crying, but it was a more "inspired, emotional" cry than a sad cry. The series is extremely uplifting and as crazy as this might sound, it made me get in contact with some of my old, childhood friends who I fell out of contact with. I love it when a show can have that sort of impact on my personal life.

[@Pichu647]

Don't know why I watch this anime, but I was glad I did. I loved it, kind of the reason why I named my trainer Memma

Seriously, Anohana was one of the first shows that almost got me crying. It's truly something beautiful. The only thing pushing it back was the number of episodes. I have this feeling like it's still missing something. But honestly, anime fan or not, please watch this anime. You will not regret it. Ever.

Eh I'm a bit late in this reply but as a kid I was really emotional and as I hit puberty and am still going thro it the only time I have ever cried is when getting my dog put down.

Of all of them, he's clearly the most unstable. I hated his character (and still don't like him) for who he was, but he was written and executed perfectly.

Just finished this animation, and I believe it deserves a higher rating. Though it’s only eleven episodes, this show had achieved what many have not. With every character, a pure connection is established. You learn of the story from their perspective, at a rather steady pace. There are wonderful shows that conclude in disappointment, but not this. It may not have been tragic, as that was the purpose. But it was beautifully executed, and painted my cheeks with tears. I loved every minute, and I believe you will too. Thank you Menma!

[@KKristof100]

I watched this anime in one day on a rental DVD just three weeks before you've uploaded this. I still remember November 10th, 2013, it changed my life in an absolutely positive way! What you're telling about the characters' personalities is exactly why I think this anime is especially great. I deeply fell in love with Anaru but the whole anime impressed me much more I could imagine. I visited Chichibu, where it's placed ten days after the first watching, by bicycle from Tokyo, riding 100 km/60 miles one way, because I needed some exercise to calm down my heartbreaking feelings. And since that, I've been in Chichibu for more than 50 times... I would rate it like a "100 out of 10" because it gave me so much love that I couldn't imagine before. Anohana is not just an anime. It's a miracle!

[@the3rdwiseguy]

Thank you for the recommendation Arkada. Since watching this anime, Ive bought it, watched it through twice, and is now on my top 5 list. Seriously, thank you.

[@sambony94]

Thank you for doing this review. If you wouldn't have made this video, I probably wouldn't have discovered this anime for another couple years, if at all. Personally, I disagree with some of these people saying it's too melodramatic. Having lost my brother at about the same age as the group lost Menma, I understand the impact that loss had on their lives. I've had periods throughout the five years since then, mostly the past two, that went with the ways the different characters were coping. Hell, I even ended up dropping out of college because of doing like Linta did and skipping class for days on end. And that emotional ending was perfect. If only my brother could have left me a last message like that...

[@methuselahutu8856]

I don't doubt the feelings of loss, but I do doubt 5 people crying out and repeating each other word for word, either in sync or one after the other.

[@jango8472]

Well for me that was sad regardless. What a shitty way to end the thing by having them seperate for a whole fucking year and reunite in a 10second clip that goes back to the worst part of the show, the tsundere crap, which taiga actually evolved out of during the show for the most part.

[@TheBlueClover2012]

[@dubanimeshows]

Loved Anohana and your Grade A+ professional reviews :)

[@Wurzelknecht]

The saddest, most heartwarming and most beautiful anime I've seen since Clannad After Story with Menma being one of the most adorable characters ever, making it even more tragic that she's dead.

[@ItsVerreth]

Really, second to Clannad? I guess I'm not gonna feel too much with Clannad seeing as i found this animes emotional scenes fairly comical. That final Menma scene was so bad, 5 people sitting on the ground crying as loudly as possible just doesn't do it for me. It felt like the show was trying very very hard to make you feel something at that point, which for me, it did not.

[@Wurzelknecht]

To each his own that is fair enough. There are also a lot of shows, movies or books over which other people cry their eyes out that don't move me as much as it did them. But to me I just enjoyed the heart of this series. We all know how it has to end so we spend 12 episodes of getting into a story about coping with the death of a beloved friend who is shown to be one of the loveliest characters that ever existed just so that we can have emotional closure with the rest of the gang in that final scene. I guess it's also a matter of perspective and how much you can relate. I probably wouldn't put any of the cast (except for Menma) in a "favourite character"-list, and I outright disliked two of them, but I certainly can get into the concept of how heartbreaking it would be to lose a friend and after many years finally be able to say goodbye to her. As for Clannad: That is one of my few exceptions to the "to each his own"-rule. The first season might not be to everyone's liking but if you don't cry at least once during the second season you're either dead inside or so completely unable to get emotionally invested in a fictional story that nothing except the real world will ever move your heart. Both cases would be sad.

[@ItsVerreth]

***** Don't get me wrong, I've cried (or teared up anyway) to a lot of anime/movies/tv, but honestly the only part of Ano Hana that touched me was when Poppo said he literally watched Menma die, other than that, not so much.

[@Thegeektoendallgeeks]

FEV Reject amen brother

[@bezzaboyo]

FEV Reject I want to make alt accounts just so I can thumb up your first comment more; I came into this anime craving a huge tearjerker and what I got was less than satisfactory. The show was beautifully animated and had a good soundtrack, but the ending was just.... flat. There was no plot twist, no emotional release, no nothing. I nearly cried at Poppo's confession, that seriously moved me, and everything after that was just mediocre at best.

[@jsmmat]

I've never cried to a anime not even your lie in April but this had me balling in tears maybe because it's relatable I just finished it a few minutes ago, I'm so sad now. I feel like Jinta and I don't want it to end :'(

[@thatoneshadyguy_2529]

There should be an alternate universe where Menma never died

[@ohhturnz2]

that would fuck the story

[@thatoneshadyguy_2529]

Just as an ova not an entire series

[@thatoneshadyguy_2529]

elliott hyon isnt the point of anohana to make you depressed

[@mayah7181]

ThatOneShadyGuyDownTheStreet _ that would be too much like orange

[@mayah7181]

***** The Anime called Orange

[@TheFel0x]

I won't even try to pretend that I didn't cry. Great show.

[@jamesjohnson7365]

Oh man, I loved Anohana. Why must you remind me of this heart wrenching anime. I thank you for this review. Sincerely.

[@LewisTheGrim]

I absolutely loved this review. This is the first video I've ever watched of yours, and I simply loved how much effort you put in to this as well as your evident passion for the subject at hand. You can count me as well and truly Subbed :D

[@thisguysatyourmoms]

this show man.......dem feels.......dem feels.

[@kyrem13]

[@TBomb15]

I now understand the "this guy" creepiness.

[@ShintyShinto]

i get really mopey whenever i reminisce about anohana. sometimes that melancholy lingers for days, and i can't stop myself from binging videos like this one for company. it's a feeling i recognise as the tides of grief, rising suddenly when i least expect it, washing over me for some time before receding to the back of my mind once more. feels silly when i say it out loud but it's *almost* like mourning a real person. that's the power of art. it continues to leave a flower-shaped dent in my soul years later.

[@Varun10299]

Man I forgot How to Cry And This Got Me Closer to It Then Anything.👍

[@maxlu9625]

I just watched it an hour ago and I already miss the characters...

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

This anime seems beautiful! Thanks, Arkada. This is one I need to watch *right now*.

[@AkujiTester]

Just hearing the song from the ending makes my eyes fill with tears once again. I really love this anime.

[@Andromida]

It has been 5 years and I still don’t think I’m emotionally ready for this..

[@dwarfplanets533]

This show was a masterpiece. The ending wasn't really the best, though. I didn't like how abruptly and fast things were wrapped up. I finished the whole series in a few hours. That's how good it was.

[@markburns4837]

Really looking forward to watching this.

[@dakota825]

This guy is always there when i am unsure about watching a anime and he breakdown whats it about so i could decide if i wanna watch it or not thank you👌🏽

[@deepoweepo325]

Arkada, you should review King of the Hill, one of the best anime in my opinion.

[@deepoweepo325]

***** It will always be an anime in my heart

[@JerryReyes]

Abraham De Paz It doesn't look like anime, it doesn't feel like anime and it is made in America.

[@deepoweepo325]

BarbershopHero Come on people cant you take a fucking joke...

[@coolkorsah1]

I love the dry humor of the show. KotH should one exception of a non-anime review.

[@BrandensGaming]

It depends on how you define anime

[@Boundless2k10]

AnoHana = greatest Anime I've seen!

[@stormking279]

definitely one of the best ever :)

[@pokebattle12345]

Ridley On Steroids What's your favorite then?

[@Neironify]

u need to watch more anime then .....

[@megalilshorty14]

I just watched this anime and im so full emotions, i cant stop crying. I freaking loved. If i wasnt for this review who knows whem i would have seen this work of art ;)

[@miku4316]

Everytime I see or hear something related to Anohana I start getting the shakes. That anime was so good but so sad ;w;. Thanks you for the excellent review GRArkada. Subbed and Liked.

[@BaileyCallis]

I get much more emotionally invested in dubs, i feel detached when the characters are speaking a different language, however i still cried during anohana.

[@mrgenius4]

tbh english in anime is crap.. just doesn't fit in imho.

[@BaileyCallis]

mrgenius4 Then move to japan if you don't like our language, most animes have good dubs.

[@mrgenius4]

Bailey Callis If you don't like our language? I have no idea over what the fuck you're talking about. and I am moving to Japan soon..

[@Cry-byte]

I watch the Japanese versions pretty strictly. I honestly prefer the japanese voice acting. It just sounds better all around-- more "genuine" might be one part of it, and the voices are a better fit to the characters in most cases. (No, I'm not saying all dubs are bad.) But I'm glad you don't have a reason like "not liking to read the subs" like most people I know in real life who watch dubbed anime.

[@BaileyCallis]

mrgenius4 you seem to have a distaste for english, there are plenty of fantastic dubs, you clearly have your head shoved so far up your ass that you wont give dubs a chance, heck the cowboy bebop dub is better than the sub and there are more.

[@DaniTheHero]

I only feel it should be atleast a 8.5,a solid 8/10 doesn't seem to give this masterpiece justice.

[@vincentjanse]

Just watched it and cried my eyeballs out and I am glad I did. thanks arcada for recommending this show.

[@amanamcculskie]

I saw your review when you posted. I just finished watching on Netflix. Much of what you said was spot-on. Not sure why it took so long for me to watch though.

[@ForTiorIJohnny]

you know what´s also good to fill the Clannad void? Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. imo it even slightly beats Clannad.

[@runatee]

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0's ending was like an earthquake in the feels

[@dubanimeshows]

What estimate rating would you give it, I'm intrigued now :)

[@runatee]

It's between an 8 and 9 for me, at least. One of the most emotional series I've ever watched. Yourself?

[@dubanimeshows]

I haven't watched it, but I feel like I should now aha :)

[@runatee]

Well, it starts off a little slow but it pays off by the end! Watch it soon!! :D

[@MarkTaylorsVersion]

I didn't cry with this anime. Only in the very last episode. But it was so beautiful, I loved the story and the characters. It was so good! Plus, I loved how it was a "coming of age" sort of thing. It was a terrific anime :3

[@akira6960]

Its always true that every anime teaches u something this anime took special place in my heart and an unique thing at last i cried😭😭

[@kennethwalsh247]

Well informed. I thank you for the review.

[@wellskrazy]

I watched this anime and loved it. Just hearing the opening song I tear up. It's so beautifully sad.

[@wellskrazy]

Thanks I guess.

[@wellskrazy]

Because I wasn't expecting such a comment to derive from my own comment anout an anime that I adore and make me emotional.

[@wellskrazy]

No. I'm really comfortable with where I am as a person on a whole. Thank you for the comment I just wasn't expecting it.

[@MrBeastknows]

The show broke me. I don't mean it as a joke, that as a man it somehow made me cry. No, while I did ball my eyes out during the last two episodes...afterwards, I cried harder than I ever had in my life, once the credits stopped, I was left in despair. Because that show is my fantasy. I've never had friends that were truly special to me. Even then, I never had friends I only had A friend each place I lived. And there's never been a Menma. I try thinking of every single girl I've known, even girls I've just came across, and even though I like some physically, even could accept a relationship with them...none of them I could truly love. I can't even think of any celebrities that I could actually love. And this is what this show gave me. Despair. Despair in the fact that friends and love has always been my wish...but my wish will never be fulfilled. And what's the point of living when I will never have this wish. To be honest, the only point of living for me is to simply become the greatest in the things I'm to do. And that is it. I recognize there's never going to be any true happiness for me anymore, because there's not ever going to be a Menma for me (what makes this sadder, is I'm obsessing over a fucking character). All there is to do now, is to be the GOAT. God, I'm full of myself. I'm so into myself, the only reason I want to live is to simply be the greatest of all time, like come on. Well, I am pretty sure I heard something of a saying that the best of the best, most especially musicians, artists, and scientists, is that most of them never die happy. Shit, some die before they were even known as great. I kind of feel like that's gonna be me, the greatest who committed suicide before he got what he needed: attention. Fucking attention whore me.

[@TragafarlawMoon]

Shane Benjamson Well the show is to show how important and precious a life and a soul . Hey , I dint have any special talent like your guys . Trust me there will be someone in the future . I Destiny to be alone all the time . Thanks to anime Anohana made me alive again .. hahaha

[@DaOskii]

thank you Arkada :) thanks to your recommendation... i got to witness this beautiful anime. Guys come on... DAT ENDING AND that reallllly sad sounding song that ALWAYS happens to play in the right moments
