My heart hurts so much after this..

Let me start by saying that I am a moderate anime watcher. I usually only watch action series like Naruto/One piece/Toaru Majutsu... BUT I thought I'd dip into a different category a bit.

This anime is a MUST to be seen! Its only 11 eps, but it will tug on your heartstrings! I'm not one to cry when watching anime, and I'm sure one will never make me cry, but this anime did pull at my heart and give me that sense of grieving, like when someone you love dies.. Its GREAT!

I may be a little biased, as I haven't seen much from this category, but this was heart stopping. The only thing that I didn't like was how strongly they felt over a friend's death, even though they were like 8 when it happened AND 10 years had passed since then. In real life, they would have been moved on. They also talked about love, which I don't think anyone could really experience if they're under 10.. But I really shouldn't be comparing anime to real life.

I also didn't like how much they cried over jealousy reasons and such. Also, they never made it 100% clear what had killed Menma in the first place. Either way, this anime is the 2nd closest anime that has ever pulled at my emotions, especially at the end of ep 10.. The series's ending left me feeling empty even though they fullfilled their friend's final wish, but that's always how these sad series are.

You MUST watch, even if you are a Narutard or only a shounen fan! As you wipe away your tears, you won't be worry! Also, if you liked this series, you really should watch Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. Its just as sad.
