Spookt said: I feel gyped that the big reveal was only that he wants to be a delicious trap and dresses like his dead friend. The lead-up totally felt like he was preserving Menma's corpse in his closet in some Hitchcockian fashion. Shame on the producers for pussying out! I know, right? I honestly didn't think Yukiatsu cross-dressing was that big of a surprise.. but this forum says otherwise, haha. I'm actually surprised that people are cussing him out. I definitely enjoy this series a lot since they show how each individual character reacts to Menma's death--they each have a way to coping. I just blasted through 4 episodes of this just now, so excuse this long rambling post. ._. It frustrates me that Jinta has never tried proving that Menma was in the room with them. She can obviously interact with them, since they've seen her move objects and felt her weight. MeilinnLi said: What baffles me is the ribbon. Menma's is blue, Yukiatsu's is violet, yet Tsurumi saw and painted Menma with a red one. That's why I thought each of them could have their own Menma too. Hmmm, that's really interesting.. didn't notice that. :c |

zimno said: AAAAAAAAnaru!!!!! T_T preview:http://www.anohana.jp/story/05.html it will be a BFD for Japan otaku... Holy crap, I think I was right about the Yukietsu confessing his feelings judging by this trailer. Whether the scene will show what happens after we'll have to wait and see. Also, the Anjou in front of the love hotel thing. oh boy, is she really that emotionally fragile she'd resort to that? Now i REALLY can't wait for the next episode damnit. kandiiyuutaamu said: hmmmm.....how did you seriously get ahold of this information??? The official Japanese website, maybe? |

| Ugh, this show feels like it's going straight downhill. The first two episodes were amazing; I felt like this anime was going to be life-changing. But the characters keep getting worse and worse. What a waste. |
Cirris said: I think it might a setup of her friends. TBH I think her friends are not virgins and she is but she BS them to be with them. I really want to see that part and that confession of Yukiatsu.zimno said: AAAAAAAAnaru!!!!! T_T preview:http://www.anohana.jp/story/05.html it will be a BFD for Japan otaku...

| Crazy episode. No wonder Yukiatsu was always late! I just hope that they all can see Menma at the end. |

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |

It's no coincidence that the directors showed the Bakainu Futago, her slutty friends, annoyance at Anjou's distant behavior. This anime is good at giving hints of what's about to come. |

werr-y said: I honestly didn't think I'd like this anime as much as I do now... I gave it a shot on a whim, I really didn't think I would fall in love with it the way I have. To be fair, it does take a low blow to the nostalgia of anyone from the 150 Pokemon generation. |
| Aw, I was hoping that the big secret would have been a little better. Oh well. I don't know what I was expecting. It's still a good show, though. Yet at the same time it's still not quite as great as the first two episodes. |
MessageInTime said: Xer0117 said: sirflappy said: You clearly misunderstood this anime then. I "clearly misunderstood" the anime because my opinion is different than yours. Right. Well, what exactly went downhill? I'd like to hear your thoughts as, objectively, it's only getting better. I rewatched episode 4, and it wasn't as bad as I initially thought. I think it's because I was tired and really agitated when I watched episodes 3 and 4, and the negative criticism all the characters (especially the condescending characters and the reactions of the characters being looked down on) had made me feel even worse. When I rewatched it, I was feeling much more calm and unbiased. Note to self, don't watch serious shows while pissed. |
| I'm glad the guy was found it, can't stand him. Good episode for Chiriko, I didn't see enough of her to have an opinion, but I kinda like her now. Jinta is making good progress, I hope he keeps it up. It's also nice to have Menma interact (even in a limited way) with others. 4/5. |
| Ok......this guy clearly has some issues. Damn these episodes are always great 4.5 |
| Although i was annoyed first at him yukiatsu is unexpectedly silly and cute. |
| Loved her "Mario Menma and Luigi Menma" comment lol. Jeez, Menma really holds a friggin huge influence over their lives. |
| O______________________________O What? Looking forward to the next!..? |
| Ok its official...Yukiatsu REALLY has some issues... Lol at Mario reference...this anime is just so awesome! |
 |
| Wow Always knew Yukiatsu was a freaking nut job. Anaru's friends are a bunch of bitches, thats what they are |
| LOL. Mario and Luigi Menma |
| Crossdressing... ==" umm.. Yeah pretty sad episode... |
Lulexiaa said:  LOOK WHO IS TALKING YOU FREAK!!! I thought it was too weird to be true!!!! BUT OH MY GOD!!!!! ITS OFFICIAL!! YUKIATSU IS A FREAK!!!!!!!! He is a freak period. Guess he should have been in hourou musuko ANOTHER GREAT EPISODE :D |
 |
| Ewww. Crossdressing = You're doing it wrong Yukiatsu. |
| Ha! And I thought Jinta was taking it hard about Menma! I guess Tukiatsu was really hiding some demons in his closet! More! |
 |
| Lol WHAT. That was kind of ridiculous XD I know they wanted to portray Yukiatsu as someone unhealthily obsessed with his dead crush, to the point of crossdressing, and show his desperation and insecurities...but it really seemed unnecessarily creepy and absurd. |

| FUCKING LOL. The second I saw his face, I died laughing. I wanted to like him. I mean, he's the pretty boy of this show. I have to like the pretty boy. But holy shit, he's creepy. |
 |
| This is so stupid... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| When Anaru almost fell, before Jintant could catch her I thought “Awh, come on, we don’t need another dead Menma!” And whoah! She really almost fell in the same river :O Then Anaru made me really sad and almost made like her... what am I talking about, I liked her at this moment – she asked Jintan to be nicer with Menma, because she knows how it feels like when Jintan is harsh with her =\ Menma was really kawai when she made the Mario and Luigi(Menma) refference.. And I have no words for the cross-dresser... just when I thought he might end up as character I'll actually like. Tsuruko is the smartest character this far. And she's hot as... |
  |
| That dude is pretty weird, huh? I don't particularly like him, but he's interesting.. in a weird sort of way xD |
| remember seeing a movie that shows a guy dress like his dead wife becasue he cant forget her, this is love... i like how the way they all end up in the forest together again, but still cant figure out what Menma really is |
| Loving this Anime! Maybe in the end it'll jump into my favorites....? Anyways, best song set in an Anime yet for me. Love both the opening and ending themes and the scenery. And, right now, Poppo and Menma is my favorite character. Poppo is just so funny& weird and Menma is so innocent <3 But, yeaaaah, I wasnt really shocked when it was revealed that Yukiatsu was cros-dressing as Menma. But, that's because I peeked at a spoiler in the last topic. *cough*whichshowsmtonotlookatthemever*cough* But, I think he has major psychological problems. He probably never addressed Menma's death and how much it affected him until it was too late and then he became obsessed with Menma and wanting "to preserve their friendship" or something close to it. Or, he was the one who had tripped or bumped Menma which caused her to fall into the river But, can't wait to watch more =3 |
| wtf lol he got a hobby alrite |

| I was kinda sad the entire ep, but when I saw the crossdressing... I laughed. I think he has some serious psychological problems. |
| Wow, I watched the first three episodes of this show about a month ago and at the beginning of this episode I was wondering why the hell I had waited so long to watch the next episode. I was wrapped up in other animes and just never got around to it. The beginning when Yukiatsu & Jintan were arguing and little Menma got involved kind of made me cry. But the end...THE END just left me brutally confused. Seriously WHATTHEFUCK!? I definitely ended up laughing as well but still what the fuck is wrong with that guy? It's 100% creepy and I don't see how he'll be able to justify this at all... |
| Yukiatsu (sp?) was crossdressing as Menma talk about obsessed to take it that far. Poor guy. )= |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Fantastic episode. I honestly thought the cross dressing was strange at first but the more I think about it the more it makes sense. Yukiatsu just cannot let Menma go, so he tries to get as close to her as he possibly can by dressing as her. At least that is what I think so far. Fucking great series, so far. |
