August is never the same for Anohana fans

[saffronmeepqueen]

The opening where the children suddenly flash as adults/teens but Menma is replaced with a flower always gets me crying

[youranimewaifuu]

What makes me more sad than Memna being found was her letter to Jintan. "I love you, Jintan. It's the I want to marry you type of I love you."

[J]

“Menma we found you!” That sentence always makes me have tears in my eyes.

[coffeeshampoo]

I can still smell the tears of the thousands of fans who watched this while listening to this piece

[ghos]

Anohana: the onion we cut that day :'D

[danielawytte]

This can be a graduation song too you know

[KeairaKusanagi]

My wife and I married in August 2000. She died in 2017. This anime absolutely crushed me, its so relatable to me. Even just this song breaks me heart.

[rize]

How to listen to this song:
Step 1. Press play
Step 2. Listen
Step 3. Cry

[havalii]

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You should know Menma,
We all miss yoU

[vxjessi]

Fun fact: the flower that represents menma is called a “forget-me-not”. Hit hard

[poob_ian]

"I believe that we will meet in August 10 years later"
I guess they weren't kidding

[Skiloose]

Here's a fun story:
I had no idea what this song was from, I'd never even heard the original version either. My friend Dylan sent me a recording of him playing this on piano. He never told me what it was from or anything, so I just thought it was a really pretty song and I made an effort to learn it. Simply by listening to the shitty little recording he sent me I was able to figure out how it went and now I can play this song on piano. Curious of where the song came from, I asked my phone "what song is this?" and played it on piano. It recognized it and sent me here. So basically, I fell in love with this song and then learned it on piano without ever listening to/knowing anything about the actual song...

I just finished watching it, and I can confirm that I did not stop crying for more than a minute throughout the last four episodes. What a ride. I’m in love.

Thank you all for the outpouring of kindness on this comment, it’s so nice getting a notification every few months from YouTube to be reminded of this comment, and to get to read and reread all the genuine things people have left here over the past two-ish years since I left it (how time flies!). I hope you’re doing well if this comment finds you ✌️

Edit 9/21/23
Haven’t been here in a while, thank you all for the continued kind comments, youtube still sends me a notification every now and then and it makes me smile to remember this story. My friend Dylan and I don’t talk much anymore; I’m a university student and he’s working full time. But I look at our time with a lot of nostalgia and joy. I’ve come out as transgender since we last spoke, which is part of the reason I was scared to come back here haha. But I’m happy. I’ve got a lot of people in my life whose care about me a lot right now, and despite a lot of hard times, life is still worth it. I hope all are still doing well 🤍

I felt that when he said "FOUND YOU MENMA" 😢😭

Ok, I am going to be honest. This is a long one so please bear with me. I am a mother of three beautiful girls. All of which absolutely LOVE anime. My first daughter was into anime and I grew curious at what made her so excited. So as any good mom would do, I sat down and watched Sailor Moon with her. At first, I thought the show wasn't worth watching . However I sat with her through most of the story and grew to love all the characters, the story line and everything. It became something we loved to do together.

Ten years later, (yes 10) I had another daughter. When she 3, the three of us would sit down and watch anime together and talk about the episodes, what we liked and didnt like. You know, the family arguments on which was better. We would laugh and tease each other. Even started saying our favorite quotes from different anime characters. It was wonderful!

But in 2013, my first daughter passed away. She lost her battle with cancer. A cruel twist of fate, the day she passed was April 1, 2013 at 6:30 pm. Which was the time the anime series, DragonballZ would end on Cartoon Network's Toonami back then. But on that day, DragonBallZ did not air as Toonami was being taken over by pranksters. She passed wanting to listen to the show which she loved so much. All I have now are the wonderful memories of us watching anime.

I kept watching anime with her little sister and 20 years later, she is a full grown anime mom like me! I had my third daughter during those 20 years (12 years after my second daughter) And like a good big sister, she watched anime with her.

One day, we heard this song play randomly while cleaning. Yep, we made an anime playlist on youtube and played all our favorite themes as we cleaned. even sang along. Horribly misquoting the lyrics. haha. So we made a day to watch the series the song belonged to. Let me tell you, it was the most beautiful series i have ever watched at the time. It reminds me of my first daughter and how happy she was even when she wasnt feeling well. To this day we play this song at least 3 or for times in a row. singing , laughing, crying, dancing and loving our lives together here on earth and one day in heaven.

Thank you if you read all this emotion. I just figured I needed to share this here. Anime has truly helped keep my family together. Enjoy life! I know we are! Live, Laugh and Love Anime forever! oh, one last thing. My daughters friends think I am a VERY COOL OTAKU MOM! ^_^

I always wondered why it was called “Anohana: The flower we saw that day” until you notice all the flowers in the ending. Those flowers are called “Forget-Me-Nots”

[johnchiba]

everyone always asked: how big is Poppo?
but no one ever asked: how is Poppo? :(

[scottyboy]

How can I feel nostalgic for something that never happened to me? Memories of a childhood that wasn't mine.

[horio]

After 6 years this song still has the ability to make me cry

[trjsha]

when she yelled and everyone heard her and saw her, oh god the tears were not even bothering to stop
