When a loved one dies — be it a friend, a classmate, a significant other, or a family member — it strikes a chord. Things change. Close friends drift apart. Some move on, and some stay firmly rooted in the past.The latter is what happens to Jinta "Jintan" Yadomi, a high school-aged Hikikomori. After the death of Meiko "Menma" Honma, Jintan and their four other friends — Naruko "Anaru" Anjo, Atsumu "Yukiatsu" Matsuyuki, Chiriko "Tsuruko" Tsurumi, and Tetsudo "Poppo" Hisakawa — begin to lose touch with each other and move on with their lives. Five years later, Menma's ghost pays him a visit, asking him to help her fulfill a wish. Just what that wish is, she doesn't completely remember, but getting the old gang back together is a start.Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. ("We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day."), also known as anohana for short, is a 2011 Anime First series shown on noitaminA and produced by A-1 Pictures.

Jacob Marley Apparel: Menma's appearance doesn't display signs of her death, but she's wearing the same outfit she drowned in (although it's larger, since her ghost looks older and is taller than she was at death) and wears no shoes (which were washed away by the river). | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In Episode 3, Menma expresses her desire for Jintan to go back to school whilst straddling him and bouncing. It's innocent on her part. Probably not so much on the animator's. | |

By the Eyes of the Blind | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_1a6d9f92 | comment |
By the Eyes of the Blind: Only Jintan can see or hear Menma. Which pretty much scares the hell out Anaru and Tsuruko once the others discover that she is indeed real and can only see things floating whenever she grabs something. Just before Menma finally passes on, everyone can see and hear her. | |

Childhood Friend Romance | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_1c8e096e | comment |
Childhood Friend Romance: Jintan and Menma have mutual feelings for each other, but Jintan was never able to confess to her before she died. Anaru and Yukiatsu have unrequited lingering feelings for Jintan and Menma respectively. Yukiatsu lampshades their unrequited positions in Episodes 5 and 9. Tsuruko also has feelings for Yukiatsu. | |

Although, there's some question of whether Jintan and Yukiatsu were ever really friends, as the flashbacks indicate that the latter was always rather resentful of former. Even more so than Anaru and Tsuruko were of Menma. | |

Walking the Earth | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_29292e6d | comment |
Walking the Earth: Seems to be Poppo's ambition. The mapping of his travels looks quite impressive. According to the map shown in his introductory scene, he's been to Merida, Venezuela, Quito, Ecuador, Lima, Peru, Santiago, Chile, Brasilia, Brazil, Guadalajara, Mexico, San Diego, USA, Okhotsk, Russia, Matsuyama, Japan, Qingdao, China, Manila, Philippines, Kimann, Papua New Guinea, Makassar and Bima, Indonesia, Kuala Dungun, Malaysia, Phuket and Bangkok Thailand, Nha Trang, Vietnam, Kolkata, New Delhi, and Mumbai, India, Dubai, UAE, Salalah, Oman, Adana, Turkey, and Athens, Greece. Later shots in Episode 4 also include Havana, Cuba, Khartoum, Sudan, and Maintirano, Madagascar. All this was meant to forget his bitter memories of seeing Menma drown and being unable to help. | |

Death of the Hypotenuse | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_2aff6a25 | comment |
Death of the Hypotenuse: Deconstructed. Back when they were children, Anaru liked Jintan and Tsuruko liked Yukiatsu, but both boys liked Menma and the girls, despite caring for Menma, felt that they couldn't compete with her. Menma's untimely death only made things worse for all of them, since such a tragedy tore the group apart and showed that, in reality, the demise of "the person who gets in between" does NOT equal to the others getting together: the guys got so broken (and Jintan already had his own issues) that no girl in their eyes can match the very high standard that Menma had left, with Jintan becoming a hikikomori and Yukiatsu both considering Anaru as a prospect "back-up girlfriend" (and neither she nor Tsuruko, understandably, are happy with that) and wearing dresses similar to those Menma used to wear. | |

Embarrassing Nickname: Anaru. In Japanese, l and r are pronounced identically, and n is the only consonant that doesn't need a vowel on the end. Jintan seems to realize it now; Menma doesn't. note It sounds like "anal". | |

Bittersweet Ending: Menma's ghost finally passes onto the afterlife, but not before she and her living friends properly say their farewells. Jintan reconnects to society and was last seen walking to school with Anaru, while Yukiatsu and Tsuruko grow closer to each other, and Poppo continues working part-time but also resumes his studies. The series ends with the five remaining friends gathering one more time at their old hideout to read Menma's letters. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Yukiatsu's haughtiness gets broken in Episode 5 after everyone finds out that he's crossdressing as Menma and he breaks down, blaming himself for Menma's death. In the same episode, he later rescues Anaru when she gets sexually harassed by a guy intending to take her to a love hotel. Even when he acts like a jerk at other times afterwards it's usually for reasons that he believes are right and would be helpful to others. | |

One Head Taller: Menma is much smaller than all the rest of the Super Peace Busters, allowing this to be invoked with any of them, though it's usually with Jintan. Averted with each implied Official Couple, who are roughly the same heights as each other. | |

Wham Line: Near the end of Episode 4, Tsuruko calls out to the "Menma" that's running away from them, and calls him "Yukiatsu," revealing that she's on to him. At the end of Episode 7, Jintan, Poppo and Anaru have gotten enough money for their fireworks, only to find that an official is refusing to approve their plan. Jintan then asks for the person's name. | |

Reincarnation | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_50f5dabe | comment |
Reincarnation: The name of the anime is about this. Jintan's mother told Menma about how a person can be reincarnated as another creature (such as a cat or a flower) after they die, and this becomes Menma's objective after she remembers her original wish. She wants to be reincarnated so she can be in the same world where her friends are. | |

We Used to Be Friends | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_51a3ba7 | comment |
We Used to Be Friends: At the start of the series, it's most apparent between Jintan, Anaru, and Yukiatsu, whose relationships are the most tense. Everyone mostly gets along with Poppo, and only Yukiatsu and Tsuruko remained friends. Although, there's some question of whether Jintan and Yukiatsu were ever really friends, as the flashbacks indicate that the latter was always rather resentful of former. Even more so than Anaru and Tsuruko were of Menma. | |

This is weird by Anglo standards, but not by Japanese ones. Japan has more sex therapists than it does counselors and psychologists - psych problems and mental illnesses are still taboo in Japan, doubly so for conditions that bring shame upon the family like being a shut-in. The same goes to Mrs. Honma. | |

All Love Is Unrequited: Tsuruko has a crush on Yukiatsu, but he is obsessed with Menma and later considers Anaru to be his Replacement Goldfish. Anaru is in love with Jintan, but the latter is also obsessed with Menma. Menma does like Jintan back, but due to her being deceased, she cannot be with him. The only one among the gang who doesn't seem to be part of the romantic loop is Poppo, but being The Big Guy, it is likely that he will get the short end of the stick. In the end, Jintan/Anaru and Yukiatsu/Tsuruko are given a Maybe Ever After. | |

Deconstructed Trope: The concept of Purity Sue is smashed to pieces here. Not only was Menma ridiculously pure and innocent (and kinda ditzy) because she died as a child and thus got mentally/emotionally stuck as a little girl forever, but it's made brutally clear how much pressure that kind of character would put on her friends: Tsuruko and Anaru remember Menma fondly but are also jealous and resentful of her because she (unintentionally) left an insanely high standard for them to meet when she kicked it; Jintan and Yukiatsu are very screwed up due to still loving her for a long time after her death, with Jintan unable to function in social situations and Yukiatsu cultivating an unhealthy obsession; and Poppo constantly has to put on a happy face in order to interact with others due to his guilt after not being able to save her life. | |

Lawyer-Friendly Cameo | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_8e92e125 | comment |
Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Episode 2 has Jinta and Anaru trying to get a rare Nokemon. And in Anaru's words: "Who the hell buys Nokemon Gold?" Other famous titles, such as Dojimon and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo show up in Anaru's manga and game collection. Friendly or not, there are insanely blatant posters of Wandering Son, Sekirei, Sound of the Sky, Black Butler, and Wagnaria!! in the shop Yadomi and Anaru work in. | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: The name of the flower they saw that day? Forget-me-not. They adorn the OP and ED, and pop up frequently in the anime. It also makes Jintan's words about fulfilling the wishes of those flowers all the more meaningful. | |

There Are No Therapists | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_96fbeaf | comment |
There Are No Therapists: You'd think that someone would suggest that Jinta should see a therapist, being a shut-in who obsesses over a friend who died back when he was little and all. In general, just looking at the Super Peace Busters and Mrs. Honma is enough to make you ask yourself "Dude, where are the grief counselors?" This is weird by Anglo standards, but not by Japanese ones. Japan has more sex therapists than it does counselors and psychologists - psych problems and mental illnesses are still taboo in Japan, doubly so for conditions that bring shame upon the family like being a shut-in. The same goes to Mrs. Honma. | |

Tragic Keepsake | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_97d54bb0 | comment |
Tragic Keepsake: Yukiatsu's keepsake is a pin just like the one he offered to Menma when he confessed. Tsuruko seems to have the actual one. At the end of the series Tsuruko is shown wearing the new hairpin that Yukiatsu had, heavily implying that they are now dating and he gave it to her as a gift.Inside the pouch, Poppo is always carrying around his neck are flowers, specifically the flowers that were blooming on the day Menma died. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: A subtle example in episode 10 that might be missed on first watch: Poppo, normally the most cheerful and upbeat of the group, slows down for just a moment to say that he feels like 'all he can do is watch' the rest of the group. This foreshadows the revelation in the finale that he witnessed Menma's death but was helpless to prevent it. | |

Ship Tease: As children, Jintan and Menma had feelings for each other with Anaru crushing on the former and Yukiatsu crushing on the latter, and Tsuruko crushing on Yukiatsu. In the present, Jintan and Anaru share a bit of UST while Yukiatsu and Tsuruko are usually seen together and are twice mistaken for a couple. Yukiatsu also attempts to pull the Pair the Spares route with Anaru by asking her out, and Poppo has declared a slight interest in Tsuruko too, which would make Love Dodecahedron complete. | |

No Antagonist: The main obstacle that needs to be dealt with by the still living main characters are themselves and how they come to terms with a tragedy from their childhood that they never properly coped with. The characters closest to antagonists in the story are Yukiatsu and Irene Honma, but both are sympathetic characters whose antagonism comes from the way they've mourned Menma's death, and the only real Hate Sink in the whole series is a single Jerkass upperclassman who tries to take advantage of Anaru in episode 5. | |

Last-Name Basis: Some members of the group have stopped using their nicknames or given names with each other on the few occasions they meet. As the group is getting closer again, this might be reversed, however. For example, Poppo calls some attention to Anaru referring to him as "Jintan" when the latter isn't around in Episode 7 and Yukiatsu calls attention to her almost saying "Jintan" but changing to "Yadomi" in Episode 9. By Episode 11, everyone has gone back to referring to each other by their respective nicknames. | |

| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_eab97703 | comment |
Gratuitous Russian: The sign on the gate of the Honma residence lists the family members' names in Japanese and Romanized transliterations, except Irene, whose name is given in Cyrillic instead. What's more, the Cyrillic rendering appears to have been simply transliterated letter for letter from the Latin script spelling as Ирене. While not entirely inconceivable, this variant is highly improbable as a name for someone born and raised in Russia (the most common Russian equivalent to "Irene" is Ирина, "Irina", while the show's katakana spelling イレーヌ, Irēnu, is normally used for the French variant Irène, whose Russified version is spelled as either "Ирэн" or "Ирен"). | |

Jerkass | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: In his first modern-day appearance Yukiatsu has the gall to mock Jintan for not getting into a good high school and for mourning Menma. Then, in Episode 4, he tries to manipulate everyone into not working toward Menma's wish. Following Episode 5, he starts showing his Hidden Heart of Gold more frequently, only to eventually relapse into full Jerkass mode in Episode 10 when he sets a cruel trap for Jintan to get him to either confirm or deny his love for Menma, even emotionally manipulating Anaru into assisting him with this, and vows to get Menma's spirit to Heaven just for the satisfaction of knowing that Jintan can't have her for himself anymore. | |

Too Good for This Sinful Earth | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_ee9877ea | comment |
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Menma was an unbelievably cute Cheerful Child who always put her friends before herself and rarely considered her own feelings. Of course she had to go. | |

Moving Beyond Bereavement | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_f1c969f6 | comment |
Moving Beyond Bereavement: The plot concerns five high school friends coming to terms with the death of their friend Menma, who died in an accident five years ago. The sudden appearance of her ghost to one of them brings them back together and allows them to admit and work through the guilt and feelings they still have about her and each other. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: After much angst and tribulation in which the group vent their anger and express their true feelings to one another, they are finally able to overcome the psychological traumas each one of them acquired after Menma's death, and Menma's ghost is able to say one last tearful goodbye to all of them. Jintan stopped being a hikikomori for good and started attending school regularly, and it's implied that he and Anaru will end up together as a couple eventually. The same is implied for Tsuruko and Yukiatsu. Meanwhile, Poppo also has gone back to school (although he did not quit working at the construction site). | |

Malicious Slander | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_f8c8175a | comment |
Malicious Slander: Anaru suffers through this in Episode 6 when rumors leak out that she went to a love hotel with an upperclassman. It was a Date Rape Averted, and Yukiatsu bailed her out. | |

Survivor Guilt | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_feaf12e8 | comment |
Survivor Guilt: All of the main cast are lamenting and blaming themselves to some extent over the death of Menma, due to actions that occurred on the day of her death. Jintan and Menma had crushes on each other but both denied it. Tsuruko told Menma about Jintan's feelings, and then Yukiatsu and Anaru attempted to make Jintan confess his feelings about Menma in order to express their own feelings to the two, but Jintan ran off in denial. Yukiatsu then awkwardly confessed to Menma, but she runs after Jintan, before falling into a river and drowning, which was witnessed by Poppo. | |

Heroes Want Redheads | |
| Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day / int_ff16efbf | comment |
Heroes Want Redheads: Inverted. It is the redheaded Anaru who has feelings for Jintan. Whether they stays inverted or gets played straight on Jintan's part remains to be seen, though they are both currently in UST territory. The ending hints that eventually get together. Yukiatsu, however, plays the trope straight as he asks Anaru out and has a few Ship Tease moments with her, but nothing ever comes to fruition between them. | |
