so i got my sad on and decided to get caught up on 1 show. i picked ano hana.
first the characters:
yukiatsu has got to be the best character on the show. he’s got this gdlk anti-troll armor which lets him shrug off anything. get caught cross dressing? yeah that was a bad idea but im over it now. embarrass yourself in front of someone’s dad? lolz did u see that i fuckin own. sure he gets mindfucked sometimes and has mental problems (who doesn’t?) but he just takes the loss, adapts and comes right back like nothing happened. this nga too smart.
jintan is a scrub. if he played fight games he’d be the guy who’s like silently salty all the time and never seems to be having any fun. almost everything makes him go into that “hurk” gaspy mode that anime chars tend to get in when someone says some Real Talk. he also has no spine. yeah i hate this guy what a shitty protagonist.
poppo is a derp. he probably thinks wolverine is a deep and complex character.
anaru (lol) not only has the best nickname for a girl EVER (future JAV star right here) but is actually pretty hot in that tsundere way. too bad shes kinda socially inept and has confidence problems. i hope shes doesnt get screwed over too hard in the end though because shes a likable character…which probably means she has to get with scrubby ass jintan. smh.
tsurumi…idk i like her character (dry sense of humor owns) and kinda want to see her succeed too but most of her problems are her own damn fault + her new haircut sucks. you want yukiatsu to pick you but uhmmmm every time youre together you act like its a huge chore to be there no shit he’s going to pick anaru who is hot, dumb, and easily manipulated since YOU DONT SEEM TO BE INTERESTED. “hey lets go out for a drink” “naw im good gotta study”. bitch youre smart what did you think was going to happen? she wants to be in grand finals without going through pools, gtfo with that shit. still i guess she should get her wish b/c her character works well with yukiatsu (hell of a lot better than him and anaru).
tl;dr: yukiatsu is baller, everyone else is cool except for jintan who is a shithead.
now the story which requires actual spoiler tags:
derp
Spoiler
menma this, menma that, omg everyone loves menma gets old real quick. shes not really good looking or even that likable. being sad and even feeling guilty cuz she died is ok, obsessing over her uhmmmmmmmmmmm no. it was okay when everyone was just feeling guilty over her death, but all the dudes (except poppo, duh) actually falling for menma made my face irl look like spirit jew’s avatar.
speaking of menma dying, i lol’d when she fell in the river AGAIN. then i lol’d again when jintan was all aaaaaaa halp where menma go??? the fuck are you scared of she cant die again…
so it was pretty obvious the fireworks wasn’t the real wish, and im guessing the real wish has to do with whatever menma wanted everyone to do and not tell jintan about that one day, but then she died before it could happen. what gets me is why it was even a shock at all to tsurumi and yuikiatsu (who knew about…whatever it was menma wanted) when the fireworks…didnt work as intended. theyre smart kids i think they could have figured out which one was more likely to be the real wish.
but yeah i wanna see tsurumi + yukiatsu and anaru + jintan at the end that would be so cute my heart would melt.
