| If I didn't know that there are more episodes I would think this is short story, but it looks like a nice anime :) I like this Naruko is she in love with Jinta? |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Poor guy. The scenes with all those flashbacks were heart-crushing |
 |
| Wow, Menma was so annoying. Screaming "JINTAAAN" every few seconds really began to get on my nerves. I hope she gets better over the next few episodes (and hopefully there's less loli fanservice too. Yuck). |
 |
| An anime series Ive been planning to watch eventually for a long time. Not perfect, but actually, a good start. I have eventually turned kind of inmune to "feels" anime and manga, but I won´t get that ruin this experience for me. |

| I have no idea why there's so many recommendations between this and Angel Beats, but hey, I guess time to finally find out. I literally just watched this sometime after finishing A Whisker Away, so it really does feel like both were written by the same writer here. It feels redundant for the episode to slowly show us that Menma is actually dead when it was already pretty obvious from the start as well as that fact being shown up whenever you look this up anywhere (even on this site), and A Whisker Away had this same kind of issue. Either it's the marketing's fault or maybe it's my fault for not going into this show right away or seeing a brief synopsis beforehand, I guess. Anyway, at least this seems nicely animated and some of the background piano music sounds neat. Menma's kinda cute but she sure seems kinda pushy... if you know you're already dead, then why are you acting in ways that will make Jinta react in suspiciously in front of other people? I guess Menma doesn't care about that? :P |
 |
| Great start! I am definitely going to continue watching after a good first episode like that. |
Have a great day!  |
| this is a very highly rated anime that many say is good. for the 1st episode i was not let down. great OP & ED :3 pretty smooth animation i hope this anime will satisfy me ~~ |
 |
| I already know there's going to be a lot of tears and heartbreak in this one. I already started tearing up seeing flashbacks of what happened. But my eyes really did water when Menma visited her family, and her mother is giving curry to her shrine. And her brother seems annoyed by it, and that made it hurt even more. Damn, this is going to be a ride. It's been some time since I've watched a quality anime. |
 |
| So I googled "Best slice of life anime" and this was number 1 on a long list. So here I am, finding out why. This first episode was depressing af but it makes for a great story. I'm excited to watch the rest of it! |
 |
| i finally decided to watch it and like....i understand the circumstances but woo boy is everybody unlikable except maybe Poppo. Menma was annoying too but thats a ghost that never got to grow up for ya...i guess |
| definitely seeing why this is so popular. really liked how they ended the episode |
| I was able to watch this when it was airing. I'm a decade older now, I hope it won't hit like truck like back then. |
| Been planning to watch this for a while, I thought knowing she was dead would be a spoiler but I'm glad its not. Good first ep |
 |
| very much liked what i saw. i got [good] vibes of "cross game" with the kid from the childhood effecting everyone's life. and what a surprise, the death seems the same lol my only complain is, if menma will shout "jintan" again ... >< |
| im already feeling depressed and its just e1… wow |
  |
| Hahahaha, now yes, an anime I saw years ago but I don't remember anything. Now I think I'm more sentimental than before so give it |
 |
| I was hesitant to start this series at first because I felt it was going to be a cringy mess, but I'll give it a chance. The first episode honestly was a nice introduction into the main cast and the main objective of the series. The soundtrack is solid and I can see potential in it. The animation is amazing and seeing that A1 made it knowing that they made Erased I have hope. |
 |
| Anime like this were all the rage back then, so I can understand why it got popular. If it holds up after these many years though is my question. Whole premise dealing with x character dealing with bereavement hallucination and seeing x character that has already died is a troupe done many times over again. This time around though, seems like each episode is just going to be about getting one of the people from the old gang reunited until the inventible final episode where they all can see the Menma and she eventually actually passes off. If anything, it's something Aniplex would've made around this time, that's for sure. Fine enough start. Characters and their dynamics with each other after so long will be the saving point for me at least. |
