About the ED, I agree that the full version is a bit disappointed, it just doesn't have the emotional power of the original
for anyone interested, here's a video on ZONE final live edit by mod: link removed Last edited by Pellissier; 2011-05-01 at 03:22. Reason: please don't post youtube videos containing full songs, as they consist in licensed material. |

I love stories that revolve around growing up. This being one of them. Can't help but reflect on my life every time I see a group of friends, once best friends, grow apart as they grow older but they end up resolving their differences and becoming close friends again.
Seems like Yukiatsu definitely wants to one up Jinta though. Evident from the end of episode 3 and that flashback with the beetle catch. I can't help but think of Ko and Azuma from Cross Game whenever they interact though (same voice actors after all!). Here's hoping the ED gets released soon!

Evidences for Yukiatsu are too obvious and I think Tsuroko as fake Menma is more logical.

I agree. Nagai is known for his amazing OP and ED direction, which was also apparent in Toradora. He can make them beautiful and fitting just with direction and animation, even if the song is unfitting or bad.

So what is Yukiatsu doing with the clothes he buys? But I could see it,Tsuruko has a thing for Yukiatsu but Yukiatsu was in love with Menma,so she might want to become Menma to please him. Maybe I wouldn't be saying this if I hadn't rewatched Vertigo recently

Much prefer this version myself, for the same reasons you stated. Minimal acoustic, but more focus on the vocals. I personally like this version better than even Zone's, but only by a hair. Was already released last wednesday I believe. Here's the full version of the TV ED. edit by mod: link removed

A quick reminder, please don't post youtube (or niconico, or any other provider) videos containing FULL songs. Those are considered licensed material, and as such can't be posted in AnimeSuki (rule 1.1). I also removed the link to the live video since most likely it was a DVD-rip.
Providing a link to a full video is more or less like posting an mp3, which is also severely forbidden. Thanks for your understanding.

Note that I'm not talking of personality-wise resemblances, but only basing on the looks and movements - body animations in particular. Masayoshi Tanaka directed both OP 1-2 and ED1 in Toradora, and he's indeed behind what we see in AnoHana. In that list he's credited for the OP, but I don't see reasons not to believe he also made the ED.

The first time I saw Menma, she struck me as similar to Index from To aru Majutsu no Index. From the way she act to her face. These similarities were what made me troubled. Am I right to assume that in Japan animation industry, they can use staffs from another company to work for others?
On another note, it was interesting to see Tsuruko lit up a road of candles to "summon" Menma. Is this a tradition or just some kind of occult things? |

A lot of the animation industry is free-lance work. So staff ain't really attached to just the one company per say. Sometimes you even have production studios outsourcing some of the animation work to other studios (J.C Staff outsourcing to A1 for example).

In another forum it was commented that the more everyday-ish approach of the story, especially the ones about the character's daily life events (such as Jinta's xenophobic life and Anaru's attempts to always go with the flow) detract from the overall tale of a wandering spirit in search of her wish and her friends, wanting the story to focus more on Menma's inability to move on than with the lives of those she left behind
I disagree with this assessment precisely because her stay on earth and the lives of her her friends are so deeply interconnected that you can only have one with the other. Episode 3 proves this well enough that Menma's spiritual existence there is completely dependent on the status of her friends, such that her wish is dependent on the goings-on within each of the 5 friends she had left behind so suddenly.

Oh! and just in case someone is living in a cave, YASU did the original artwork in Toradora novel, while INAZUMA the HotD manga, and his various Takagi-looking characters are very distinctive in his other works |

Sure, we find out bits and pieces about her past and what her unfulfilled wish could be, but methinks that's only a smaller part of the bigger picture. Surely it was going to focus more on how a shut-in like Jintan, a lost soul like Anaru, a wandering soul like Poppo, a distant soul like Tsuruko and a troubled soul like Tsukiatsu would get past their problems. It's what coming-of-age stories are usually about - it's not the destination (in this case, Menma and her wish), but rather journey (the healing process for themselves and their broken bonds of friendship), no? I've been likening this series to something like Stand By Me and other stories, only slightly different in that not only is it remembering the past, but it's also trying to resolve the present as well, which adds a nice dimension. Plus seeing the differences between the characters in their childhood and adolescence, as well as seeing their slow development as they get past their troubles, is pretty neat. O-O~

I agree Yukiatsu buying these clothes is weird but it doesn't look clothes for crossdressing as Menma or I may underrate Yukiatsu... Quote:
By the way for those interested into key animation drawings and concept art, I found a sample of these in the booklet sold in some stores with the ED.
