| Sorry, Image unavailable. Only awesome people can see it. |
| Wonder what Menma had to talk to with the group before she died.... |
| ANARU ACTING TSUNDERE. <3 |
 |
| Ecchi, sketchy, one touchy! lksajdlksaj |
 |
| Menma is not behaving like a ghost would. Not in the slightest. I'm waiting for big plot twists. I agree that Poppo and Tsurumi have things that are hidden and will be revealed in emotional explosion. Level 5 Shaman, lol. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| He watched Occult Gakuin LOL xD I loved this episode, so much emotion just in around 20 minutes~ |
 |
| Nice episode. Loved how he saved Anjou |

zimno said: Perhaps it may be. That shall be interesting, he did a good emotional story with that little girl as a ghost to pass on to the next world. He is thus excellent to do this kind of series with ghosts. I got moved to tears with that snow little girl who died of cold because she believed in Santa. :( Such a tear jerker.

| I think this Japanese habit of keeping an altar for the dead person at home is rather morbid... it's like if the gravestones of your relatives were in your backyard instead of the cemetery, would you be confortable with it? Plus, it's contradictory that Menma's father cleaned her whole room up to help her mother be less obsessed with her, yet allows her to offer her a bowl of food on a gigantic altar right in the middle of their house everyday... In this scene:  Did anybody else think Jinta's mother's ghost would suddenly creep out from the shadows on the right? No? Didn't think so. I suppose all those anime with sudden, absurd turn of events I watched didn't do me much good xD What's with Menma's mother's empty expression in this scene?  Perhaps she was looking at Jinta in a sad way, and he noticed it, thus the awkwardness that followed? Or she knows something? @Yumekichi11: HOLY SHIT THAT'S ALOT OF TABS YOU HAVE THERE MATE. Do you have ADHD or something?!?! |

| Liked the first half of the episode, meh for the second part. 4/5. |
| Poppo kinda had a frantic expression on his face when he was trying to "talk" to Menma, and despite his 24/7 cheery personality, it sure wouldn't be right to leave him out of the "I-blame-myself-for-Menma's-death" club. |
| Lol, I like how he described Anaru, but at the same time I'm glad he looked out for her. I would have been irritated if he just sat and did nothing being completely useless. |

| God I'm loving this anime. Loved the way Jinta handled the crowd. Even if it was a bit clumsy XD The house visit left me with a really weird feeling. Because the same thing happened to me once, Albet a bit different. So I could totally sympathies with everybody. I'm not too fond of the way they ended the episode though. I mean, a really emotional scene ruined by a nosebleed? And not even explaining why Anaru didn't go home? But I could live with that. |
tsubasalover said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Jintan, who actually went to school, is so cool for protecting Anaru from the rumor. Yeah, total cool mode.Anaru total virgin, LOL! |
| Kawaii Jintan! XD |
| Wonder why Jinta got a nosebleed. My guess is he has strong feelings for Menma. It was funny at the end, Jinta going like "She really is a virgin" XDD Another great episode :) 5/5 |
 |
| More good character development! Loved the scene of Aneru being hit on, then getting in trouble for it. Then Jinta jumps in and saves her....sort of (loved the love hotel face bit)! More! |
 |
| Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin on tv! xD haha. I love cameos. |

| Another episode that almost left me in tears. I wonder how long I can bare watching this series. Only 6 more to go and I'm already at my limit. Good thing I took a break from watching anime, I probably saved myself from a lot of unneeded pressure. The previews title has me a little spooked! (o.o) Looking forward to the next! |

| Wow, everyone is a loser in this show. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| "I just had a nosebleed, so it's not like I'm horny for you or anything" Oh, Jintan~ |
| the nosebleed shows Jintan is normal :) Yukiatsu and Tsuruko seems to remember something on that fateful day, maybe related to Menma's wish and i cant wait to read that diary too... |

Really breaks my heart when such a good series as this gets trolls and such clogging the forums with hate and mean comments. But, haters gonna' hate I guess :'C Annnnnways, great episode! It was perfect timing because I was starting to get down. With all of the developments and drama, I was hoping a episode like this would come along. But, I still managed to get teary eyed anyways.... But, can't wait for the next episode <3 |

But, haters gonna' hate I guess :'C seriously. so obnoxious. but i suppose there's always a show at least one person hates. as for the episode does menma have to cry every single episode or what? and why do her tears always brings tears of my own!?!? it's not fair. sigh i don't wanna stop watching but i gotta get ready for mah first day of school. WAHHH! |
Confucius said: Wow, everyone is a loser in this show. Well, I guess I'm a loser because I can relate to pretty much every character on some level in this series....except for the cross dressing bit. And, I've never had a friend die on me. |

| Yes, one may not need to prattle about their negative opinions here but then again... they have every right to say what they want to about this episode. Stick to your own opinions people. Don't let others' matter. Anyways, I'm getting a wee bit tired now. Menme already annoyed me from the start. I hope they get on with her being able to talk with everyone else. Only 5 episodes left! And I was watching non-stop. Something tells me much of it will remain shrouded in mystery when it ends. Sigh that'd suck. |
 |
| Great episode! I love Jinta and Anaru. Definitely shipping that. xD The end was hilarious. "That nosebleed was from before!" haah. Loved Jinta going to school and saving Anaru :) 5/5 |
| Oh yea, go Jinta..... I was secretly cheering for him "You go man, SAY IT!" even though I already expected that to happen... since that always happens. ;p Anyways, good episode. |
| for som reason i understand jintan when he said it felt anticlimactic how everyone was supossed to look at him but everyone was fixated on naruko. but yea, he finally stodd up, also literally, lol |
     |
| Awesome for Jintan to stand up for Anaru (damn i still keep forgetting their names)! I thought this anime is very emotional but am glad that it still contains its comedic moments. :-D Anyway, it's pretty obvious that Jintan DOES have feelings for Menma! ^.^ |
| I'm surprised that Jinta actually went to school. At least he made some progress in life. |
 |
| I loved a very tiny detail. At the beginning of the episode Jintan is wondering why Menma is with him and not in heaven in a dark room. The tv is on, and when he finally makes up his mind a ghost picture pops up on the screen and he screams his head off. That small bit was pure genius. |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| Ouch I pity Anjou so much for the shame she had to go through in school...I'm kinda liking her more now than before. I wonder when Jintan will tell people what Menma says. It's a shame he never does. |

13man18 said: Jinta actually makes some progress with himself that never talks out and makes himself out of place. I wonder why did Jinta get a nosebleed or was it just out of random. Don't some people get them out of stress? He was shouting at Menma, so maybe that triggered it. Tsuruko and Yukiatsu clearly have some important remembrance of something Menma intended to do that day... Now I really want to know what she was going to ask advice for, too. |
| What's with the nosebleed? Anyway, liking Anjou more. That last scene is funny ^^ Wonder why Menma's mother look away from Jinta? |
| Her Hamtaro made this episode. |
 "It's just...a bad dream! Wake up, wake up...!" |
| I love this episode for the interaction between Jintan and Anaru! So maybe Menma's situation is supposed to make me feel sad or touched, but seeing Menma in that last scene (dinner) just annoys me.. I think it's partly the voice...or that she just cries a lot |
 |
| Lol @ ending scene nosebleed :p |
 |
| Making my mom and sister watch this now... I'm an asshole, BUT YOLO. & (something I failed to address months ago) Jintan's comment about Anaru being a virgin was kind of strange, seeing as I definitely think he's a virgin too, haha. How could he not be? He's got no social life, and he's a hikikimori. |
