Opinions:

There really isn't much to say about this anime because it is so short and simple. The thing that really sets it apart from other anime is that it is about every-day life with a touch of supernatural. However, the supernatural being, Menma, is really just an exaggeration of a manifestation of past regrets and emotions, and the main character must come to terms with things he has done in the past. It is a very sad and heartwarming anime, perfect for a marathon.

Overall Rating:

8.3/10
