We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day

What would you do if one of your friends died? How would you react, how would your life be a few years down the track? Would it be the same?

Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai 

Wow what a long name.

AnoHana, which the title is often shortened to,  is an anime that aired in japan earlier this year. It is Numbing.  The title in english means 'We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day' and it is a slice of life anime that is really heart wrenching.

It Follows the story of a group of six childhood friends that drift apart after one of them, a girl called 'Menma' dies in an accident.  Several years after the incident, the leader of the group, Jinta Yadomi, has withdrawn from society and lives as a recluse. One summer day, an older looking Menma appears before him and asks to have a wish granted, though she does not remember what it is.

....i know i say alot of anime are sad, but this one just really is.

What would you do if one of your friends died?
