Continuing the trend for anime with inconveniently long names, Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai (“We Still Don’t Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day”) has aired to a very positive reception.
Although the first episode was found quite entertaining by most, those familiar with the original caution the story becomes quite depressing as it develops…
The relatively sombre direction the anime is likely to take is rather offset by the fact that Naruko Anjo’s name is continuously abbreviated to “Anaru” (“Anal”)…

Quite possibly one of the best opening episodes this season right next to Deadman Wonderland.
Im a fan of Hanasaku Iroha from less than 5 min into the episode personally but this episode just won me over more quickly In a way I can’t even begin to explain (which is probably a good thing when I think about it), although I still love Hanasaku Iroha. These two along with C as well as a pretty decent lineup this season with many other shows means I wont be bored for a while 😀
Anal Anime? 😛
Hm…. somehow that girl reminds me of Momo from Shinigami no Ballad… I hope I don’t see “Anaru” actually happening otherwise my childhood will be torn into pieces.
f♥♥k, I keep watching the opening and crying. My childhood friendships were never perfect and I don’t think I’d want them to go back to the way they were but I am rooting for you, Jintan.
