Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai

After a young girl dies in an accident, her tight-knit group of friends drift apart. Years later, Yadomi Jinta is a recluse hiding away from the world. After skipping out on a semester of school, he is haunted by the memory of his lost friend. As he reconnects to the world, a touching story unfolds.

Eleven half-hour episodes of excellence. I rather admire that this series didn’t attempt to stretch itself out to an artificial “season” length. It took eleven episodes to tell the story properly, sometimes leaking into the end credits where things would have been too compressed otherwise. Highly recommended.

Spoiler: They never find out the name of the flower they saw that day.

      You’re a terrible person. Of course, the flowers they kept showing in the glass jar were some kind of short-petaled daisy.
