^ that's Havoc10k for you, don't take him too seriously.


I've nothing to add to the conversation. if i'd say i cried like a baby in this i'd just be restating what's been said already.

SeventyX7:
Is it depressing?  No.

Is it tragic?  No.  The anime tells you what the tragedy is 5 minutes into the first episode, Menma is dead.  Chances are you will figure it out before the anime comes out and says it, too.

Will it make you cry?  Abso-fucking-lutely.

The reason I don't consider it tragic is because tragedy to me in anime is when the anime is building you up, trying to get you attached to characters and then kills one of the characters it gets you attached to.  It always feels like a cheap shot to me.

This show goes the other way, they show you this little girl who died young and then get you attached to her by showing how all the people who had relationships with her interacted with her while she was alive and how important she still is to them going into high school.  It's kind of amazing how they turned the norms I used to consider "tragedy" on their head.

So I guess maybe it is tragedy?

Kyrdua:
^ happy tragedy (what)? i feel like the ending was pretty happy.

also, this just reminds me. what's that bell thing they ring here called?
it's often heard when characters exaggeratedly "die".

Havoc10K:
More like, recovery from tragedy, in more than one way, and in more that for just those kids. Menma's brother has impressed me, so young and so brave, but that could be because he never really got to know his sister.
