| Random progress of Jintan was random, but is really good to see! Loved it how he stood up for Anjou, now that's manlyness! Diary was obtained, huh. I wonder why Menma's mom looked like that at Jinta, perhaps she thought he had something to do with Menma's death? Also surprised to see how Menma reacted when Jinta told her about his house visit to her and he actually said what he felt. 5/5 |

| The biggest revelation to me happened during Tsuruko and Yukiatsu's conversation on the train. The fact that Menma called for the group meeting that day means that something had to be up, although all the theories I have in my head right now are either cliched, half-assed or implausible. Like Jinta said, Menma has always been acting on behalf of others and I wonder if this has something to do with her untimely death. I can't shake off that look Menma's mum gave Jinta, there's something about that split second where it looked like she had some sort of doubt as to what role Jinta played in her death. Still, the diary + Menma calling the meeting conjures up a lot of questions and at this point of the series, probably leads to the answers as well. Maybe not in regards to the wish itself but it is probably a big part of it. Damn all this mystery >_< (Jinta stumbling and bumbling during his heroic save of Naruko was priceless. That one shot of Naruko shutting his mouth up looked a lot like reverse rape haha) |

 |
| loved Jintan protecting Anaru;D also loved the last scene , heheheh. |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| Great episode, mainly because of Jintan finally being able to cope with life a bit more. Great developments overall. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Another fantastic episode. Jinta in the classroom was epic. |
 |
| When Jintan did that in the classroom, it kinda reminded me of Kyosuke from Oreimo. Embrassing his own self to save another. I like that stuff, good ep! |
| Currently Watching: Durarara!! |
| Loved the episode, it's less heavy compared to the previous ones, but still enjoyable. Also lol @ the show really shoving to our faces the fact that Anaru's still a virgin. They don't want the DVD/BR pre-orders to drop anymore. xD |
| Lol Jinta's watching Occult Gakuen FTW! and I kinda remembered Anjou's words that " Ecchi Skechy One Touchy " I believe haruna from Kore wa Zombie said that too in one of the episodes lol just my 2 cents. Can't wait for the next ep |
 |
| Naruko has some guts to touch those tissues... I'd at least put on gloves, lol. Good episode - The Naruko rumor was top-intense stuff, IMO. Just thinking of how cruel high school social-life is with just being a "out-cast" or different, people thinking you're a hooker/prostitute must be an incredible negative feeling, and i'm glad rumors like that were never cast upon me. Also, happy Jinta made the save this time. I have no idea why those girls would get so mad at Chiriko for not giving him the Love Letter - She's right, they're in the same class. If she's too embarrassed about it, than at least leave it in his shoe locker.. I never like when a girl asks another person for help in asking their crush, if they like them or if they want to date. The feeling is much greater when you do it on your own, IMO - whether they return your love or not... But, I can see this was just a moment to trigger the watchers into the thought of ChirikoxAtsumu if they haven't yet... Diary should reveal the "advice" Yuki & Chiriko were talking about on the train home. Wonder what exactly it is - a little surprised that Anjou didn't get the Memo - always thought her and Menma were closer. Then again could be that Naruko hasn't remembered... If not it will be revealing her feelings for Jintan which should be obvious right now to everyone... Also, getting a bit tired of Menma...Glad she wasn't in the episode as much this week... |

| I was looking forward to Menma and Jintan's hug, but him blushing at the end when she was on top of him, more than made up for it. For a minute I thought he was going to confess, but it might of been just my imagination. Anyways him standing up for that chick was something to be applaud for...So I'm guessing whatever Menma was going to ask advice about might be the reason why she's still there. Hopefully the diary gives them some clues. Looking forward to the next episode. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
zimno said: SoFarGone said: oh really Jintan? though i don't watch the sub, the caption in the screen shot is wrong. He said "こいつなんていつでもどこでもホイホイ会える(You guys can see her any time, anywｈere)" Thank you for clarifying that. The line seemed rather suspicious and it really didn't make sense with the rest of the speech and Anjou's reaction. Though the next part about love hotel look was a little strange too. I can see where he was going with that, but I feel like she let that off pretty lightly. It's certainly not the best way to make his point. Anyway, still a favorite of the season. I'm really enjoying these characters. |
| Good episode. I love that they visited menma's house! Somethings up though... the Mom knows something think... maybe it has to do with Menma's dad? I mean we just discovered in this episode that they all met up that fated day because Menma had something she needed advice on. Just spitballing. Either way, great episode as usual! |
  |
| The part with Menma was really sad. |

Oh Jinta-- must warn you to not have high hopes for Occult Academy =_= Can't wait to see what's in the diary. Maybe something related to what she had to say on the day she died or she reveals her Jinta love. ..and Poppo, you naughty boy ;) |

| Jintan watches Occult Academy. lol Really liked how he covered up Naruko from the rumors. I understand how Menma felt about her mother but Jintan got some point. That's just sad. :( The nosebleed scene was hilarious tho. XD |
| Good episode. The last scene was funny xD |
| nice episode, i love every character in this so much, i hope this will be best this season with Ao no Exorcist. it was nice having Jinta sticking up for that girl, ahh i forgot her name :s |
| Wow, the whole school was gossiping about her and spreading false rumors. Though clumsy, it was real cool of Jintan to stand up for her like that! Nice to see more of Anaru! Didn't expect her to just stay at the clubhouse like that. "She's definitely a virg--" *smack* xD Menma got told off by Jintan for thinking too much about herself and worrying too much about others. The nosebleed was kinda random though. I think it just came up because he got worked up so much. Great episode overall. I'm wondering if they can get something useful out of that diary of her! |
 |
| Great episode - as usual! Yadomi standing up for Anjou.. damn that was nice! |

ZaggyPlushie said: Menma=Tyler Durden How so? It's not as if Menma is a badass alter ego. I can see sort of how Menma could be influencing Yadomi to be a more outspoken and extroverted person though, so I can feel what you're saying to that extent. Props to Yadomi for bailing out Naruko. But there are a few things that remain to be cleared up... - What was up with Menma's mom's reaction to Yadomi looking at her? - What was up with the last 5 seconds of the episode where Menma said "The ghost of a mother in law tortured to death by her inhuman family strikes back?" |
 |
| I do thinkwe are heading for an Anaru x Jintan pairing and the Angry crossdresser with the mysterious Tsuruko lol. But I don't know if that is Menmas wish - I mean she could have wanted to tell them anything.. Maybe they were planning to move.. but never did due to her death and the issues it caused the family? I mean it could be anything. the ending lyrics were what brought that thought around though. But as for her wish.. it could be something as simple as friends forever or to say.. name a flower ;) |

| Funny episode xD LOL,Jintan relly sounded like exhibicionist O_o |
| This show is really full of mysteries but not emphasized much. A lot of questions added every time I finish the episode. I hope things will clear out soon. meme-chan said: ^Agreed. I hear this most of the time when someone asked you a favor and you refused XDDI really do love the letter scene. The girl looks so shy when her friend is giving her letter to Tsuruko and when she refuses to give it to Yukiatsu the girl is all "What. You bitch. You want to keep him for yourself!" Haha. So typical. PS: No doubt. Anaru is definitely a virgin. :D |
| fucking love this anime |
| kind of "eh" on this episode compared to the last few. i thought jintan definitely meant well by standing up for anaru, but i wonder if it will ever be shown how that pans out. because if this situation happened in real life i don't doubt that him doing that would probably make things worse. anyway am i alone in hoping there's a future episode where yukiatsu shaves his legs or what. |
| I can’t get enough of AnoHana. This time it made me cry when Menma said she wanted her mother to forget about her, if only a little. How can a mother do that? The only “real” clue that we have about Menma’s wish is that she needed advice on something that day… We’ll have to see what it turns out to be. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Proud of Jintan for slowly breaking out of his shell and standing up in front of the whole class,but i was sad when this episode ended it goes by way to quick!. appztetra said: Ryuujis Mom from Toradora also said that when Taiga poked her chest :PLol Jinta's watching Occult Gakuen FTW! and I kinda remembered Anjou's words that " Ecchi Skechy One Touchy " I believe haruna from Kore wa Zombie said that too in one of the episodes lol just my 2 cents. Can't wait for the next ep |

Nasty001 said: sirwence said: Points to Jinta for going to school, and doing a little bit of manning up to help Anaru. Though she does sort of pay back his covering her and defending her with a can to face lol.. And he is still running from Menma though hes saying more now before he does.. and Menmas mothers eyes ... seems like she thinks something or knows something.. And so that day everyone gathered because of Menma it would make sense she was sitting in the place where all could see her.. But nice that Tsuruko points it out , so Yukihatsu and uh have another hate attempt fail. and next we have Jinta I assume opening the diary.. and meeting up with our 'elite highschool' duo at night in his school uniform at that.. Can't believe were heading into episode 7 - I assume we will get quite a few more hints next episode and uh .. Go Anaru x Jinta Unfortunately, Jinta still didn't went to school. Actually yes.. he did you should rewatch the episode -_- |
sirwence said: Nasty001 said: Unfortunately, Jinta still didn't went to school. Actually yes.. he did you should rewatch the episode -_- I think Nasty001 is saying that even though he went to school, he had to leave with Anaru. If it is not, you should rewatch the episode :D Anyways, another great episode. This is the best thing ongoing this season. They should show more Tsuruko. I like all three girls now. But my favourite is Anaru of course :P Oh, and I like Poppo too! XD |

| Aww, this was sad. :( |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Very nice episode, especially the parts with Anaru and Jintan :) |
"It's super milk time!"-Oga Tatsumi  |
| That classroom scene.. <3 |
 |
| Not the words I would've chosen, but Jintan was awesome. Awesomely awkward. Awesomely heroic. While not critical to the success of show, I'll be a bit disappointed if we don't see Jintan x Anaru in the end. It's nice that we're inching toward's answering the big question mark. Slow going, but the path is there. It's tough watching Menma's mother like that. Heartbreaking. |
 |
| Lol the beginning was soo funnyy!! i hear the wind talking to me... I'll take a potato chip and crunch it!!! mwhwhehe oh he was watching Occult academy :O school... AAAAAAAAAAH X'd and jintan still has that leader-like character in him. :) Im so glad. |

| My hypothesis: I hope comment this. See ya! Good episode!! |
| That must have been one of worst defenses ever. Oh! well i guess he tried and the thought was appreciated by Anaru. It's funny but for me the most tiring thing is Menma and her wishes. I'm really tired of her. I guess whatever she wanted to say that day is her final wish huh? Her mother probably knows and it must be something about our main guy. Last scene. Awesome. "Ecchi! Sketchy! One-touchy!". Cute phrase here by Anaru showing her virginity although am not too happy by how much they play the virgin card because that means she will stay like that to not disappoint or those annoying otaku virgin fans and lose sales. I kind of wanted her to find her man be happy and lose her virginity at one point. |
| Anjou <3. |

| The ending was a bit abrupt. I think they cut it too soon. Doesn't really matter. I hope for more development on Tsuruko and Yukiatsu since I find their relationship more appealing than Anaru x Jintan. Kudos to Jintan for helping out Anaru. I agree he does sound a bit like an exhibitionist when he screamed "Look at ME!" |
cabemaru said: It could be and I though of it way before. However it's a what if. There has been no signs at all of this. Why would Jinta die, is beyond anything now but I hope not. My hypothesis: They could pull the prank of Jinta is already dead but I doubt it. It get me at one point in a series. In the movies it was 6th sense that trolled me hard. |
| The last moment of the show was the best for me, even if it was probably the most cliched. Go figure. |
| I liked this episode, Jintan standing up for Anjou in class due to a horrible rumor. Poppo making more plot advancements and being a good friend. I felt really sad for Menma's mother and herself... I wish Jintan can do something about it.I kind of felt bothered how they did the ending but it was to cut the mood. Good episode! |
| Needs moar Tsukuro. |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| Did anyone else notice that Yadomi was watching Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin? This episode was very nice i really liked how Yadomi stood up for Anjou it was really nice of him tho made him stood out even more than he really wanted to. I feel sorry for Anjou that the news of the love hotel even reached her school while she never even entered the place and she is still a virgin. Those two girls really got her into trouble and the people of her class should be ashamed of them selves, then again so should everyone who spreads rumors. Anjou being at Poppo's place during the cliffhanger seems to suggest that her mother didn't believe that she didn't went to the love hotel. Tho i am a bit amazed by this wouldn't a mother believe her own daughter over some strangers even if they are teachers? What ever happened at her home i guess we will have to wait till next week for that. I wonder how the girls in Tsurumi's class would respond if they knew about his obsession. Tsurumi was right to ignore that love letter that girl should tell her feelings straight forward and not use someone else to do it. Since this would only put that person in trouble. The fact that the girl got angry was purely of jealousy and misunderstanding Tsurumi's and Matsuyuki's relationship. |
