You think maybe Anaru (lol) was
responsible for Menma's death
?

AnoHana spoilers

Nope, but it's a possibility she strongly blames herself for what happened to Menma more than anyone else in the group, not to mention she could be accepting responsibility for Jinta's current self as well. Really, it's the potential conflict they're hinting at between Menma, Anaru, and Jintan. Anaru being the one who asked Jinta in the confession scene if he liked Menma, Menma hating how badly Jinta was speaking of Anaru, Jinta and Anaru's conversation between each other and she saying he should be disappointed at himself or something like that, Anaru saying she should be the one ashamed instead and a picture of the six of them are together is seen with the glare obscuring Menma - I'm curious what AnoHana plans to do with Naruko's character the most based on those events in Episode 1. AnoHana might even be implying Menma considers Anaru her closest friend with the way Episode 1 progressed. AnoHana could even throw in a convoluted love triangle and have Anaru with unrequited feelings of love toward Jinta. Don't get me started how Menma's presence could make this emotionally manipulative. I'm sensitive and gullible I guess...

Tbh a meeting between her and the dictator grandma seems inevitable. No doubt Ohanaruto will use her shoujo haato powers to bring them to a reconciliation.

I still haven't seen Episode 3, but the first two episodes feel like they want to connote their differences through Ohana. Besides, her grandmother agreed to take Ohana in from her daughter, and HanaIro isn't letting me forget about the mother with what they've done so far.

I do, too. Getting a little deeper into that relationship between the brothers and their father before everything blows up is a nice touch.

Could? It seems exceedingly likely, if not confirmed, to me.

Oh without a doubt, I am sure Anaru wants Jinta's junk. There's no way she'd go all the way to his place just to give him handouts. Standard tsundere right there.

I think you're spot on with your speculation though. Plus that other dude can't get over Menma as well.

Anaru just needs to let her hair down.

Preferably while on top of Jinta.

I think so too but I'm expecting a convoluted polygon more than the triangle. I used love triangle there to emphasize my curiosity about the relationships between the 3 rather than my speculation of the main story.

Anaru doesn't look like a girl who gives a damn!

So I guess it's Tsundere vs Tsundebro vs Ghost for Jinta's affections.

Also, we should really use the full name each time, e.g. Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai.

By the way, they've apparently completed all the way up to the tenth episode for Hanasaku Iroha. They'll never approach Shaft's level of diligence though.

I played through Persona 4 and then watched Giant Bomb play through it. I can't handle anymore Persona 4 in any form if it's the same story.

I don't know, if she could be a bitch forever that would be fine by me. If you've ever read any stories about how evacuees from the major metropolitan cities of England, and by evacuees I mean children sent on their own by train to live in the countryside, were treated by the people who decided to pick them up from the station it would hardly be "poor writing" to find a child treated cruelly by those who were supposed to look after them.

A character like the one you describe would not fit the show very well.

Maybe I should actually get around to playing my copy of Persona 4.

Jesus christ Shizuru 0_o. This is not going to help the Japanese lesbian community.

And what is with these people and dramatic goodbyes? Now we got Haruka trying to act all badass and she has no clue what's going on.
