Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day（2）

     The first time Jintan saw Menma, he couldn’t believe it. Then, he found that he was the only one who can see her. And he thought it was just a hallucination (幻覺). Even so, he tried his best to realize Menma’ s wish, whatever it was. He really wanted to make Menma happy. 

     Why? Why did he try so hard without regret? 

     The answer is simple: He loves her forever and ever.

     They gradually found their separate teammates, who have changed a lot in these 10 years. Jintan told them that Menma was here, but no one could see her. Some of them even thought Jintan was out of his mind.

     When people see here, someone may think that their friendship is too weak to maintain. But it’s not true. With the story going on, we can find that everyone in this team loved Menma so much and has blamed himself for her death in these 10 years. They wanted Menma to reborn and have a new life. But they couldn’t forgive themselves. As a result, none of them could treat each other just like before.

     However, to realize Menma’s wish, they got together much more often and became quite familiar with each other. By degrees, they got along like before.

 (LOOK AT THESE PICTURES~COULD YOU REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD~~~)

     They played the old games. They made fireworks. They did all the things they once loved or wanted to do. But none of them was Menma’s wish. Finally, Menma remembered it and was going to disappear.

~~~If you don’t want to know the end before seeing it, please don’t read the part below~~~

     Before her disappearance, Menma gave them the courage to move on. She told them that she had never blamed anyone and would love all of them forever~~~What’s more, she left everyone a LETTER.

     Even if we may not meet each other again, it is so wonderful to have met you~~~

Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day（1）

Could you remember your childhood?

Did you always play with some particular friends and build a team with them?

Now, at this point in time, if I ask you that do you want to come back to your childhood, what will you say?

My answer is: Yes.

So is Jintan's answer.

Who is Jintan（仁太）? He is the hero of an animation whose name is “The Flower We Saw That Day”. Its Chinese name is “我們仍未知道那年夏天盛開的花的名字”, which is so long, but makes many people interested. Its abbreviation（簡稱）is “Anohana（那朵花）”. This original animation（原創動畫） was produced by A-1 Pictures in 2011.

This story is about childhood, friendship and love~~~And its heroine, Menma（面碼）, is so extraordinary because she is a ghost who died in an accident 10 years ago. When she was alive, she always played with Jintan and other four friends. They have built a team called “the Super Peace Busters（超和平Busters）” and thought they would be together forever. 

However, everything changed after Menma's death. Each of them considered himself was the one who let this tragedy（悲劇） happen. Gradually, they stood off（疏遠）.

But the reason why Menma appears to Jintan isn't revenge（報仇）. She has never blamed anyone. What she wants is to realize her wish of which she has forgotten the content. ::>_<:: After that, she will disappear and reborn.

Thus, Jintan, the only one can see Menma, intends to help her recall the wish. But, meanwhile, he doesn’t want her to disappear. Why? Because he loves her so much, which has never changed during these ten years.

Will Menma disappear? Will the team go back to what it used to be?

Let me tell you next week~~~(>^ω^<)~~~

~(≧▽≦)/~COSPLAY~~~

I have already talked about some things about ANIME. In our common life, we can watch the animation and talk with other people about it. However, don’t you want to be part of it? Have you ever asked yourselves:" How can we ACTUALLY participate in the anime? "

The answer is──"COSPLAY!!!!!!"

COSPLAY is the short for “costume play”, which means that people can play the role they love by wearing the same clothes and putting on the same makeup.

Someone may ask:“ Why so many people dress up quite weirdly（古怪的） to imitate（模仿） some people who don’t really exist? ”

Now, I will tell you why~~~

The  COSPLAYERS    , who take part in the cosplay shows, never doubt why they spare no effort to do those things. It’s their love for the characters that makes them obsess with COSPLAY. They want to let themselves participate in the anime just like the characters in it. What’s more, at the same time, they give other people, who love this animation or this character, a chance to express their feelings and “supreme love”~~~~~~(>^ω^<)

There was a Comic-con（動漫展） in the new gymnasium in NTU recently~~~~~
And I took some photos~~~↖(^ω^)↗

THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE~~~~~~
