We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day

ZONE - Secret Base ~Kimi ga kureta mono~

I'll never forget being with you at the end of summer
With our dreams of the future and big hopes
I believe that ten years later in August, we'll meet again
Such great memories...

We met in a sudden instant at the intersection on the way home
And you called out to me, and said "Let's go home together"
I was so bashful that I hid my face with my bag
But I was so very, very happy

Ah, the fireworks burst in the night sky so nicely, it kinda hurts
Ah, the wind flows by with the time

We had so many happy, fun adventures
Together in our secret base

I'll never forget being with you at the end of summer
With our dreams of the future and big hopes
I believe that ten years later in August, we'll meet again
I knew that, until the end, you were shouting
"Thank you" from the bottom of your heart
Farewell while smiling and holding back tears is so hard
Such great memories...

Ah, summer break will end soon
Ah, I hope the sun and moon make friends

We had so many sad, lonely arguments
Together in our secret base

I knew that, until the end, you were shouting
"Thank you" from the bottom of your heart
Farewell while smiling and holding back tears is so hard
Such great memories...

Nothing can be done about your sudden transfer
I'll write, and call
So don't forget me
Forever, in our secret base

With you at the end of summer, we talked on and on
After the setting sun, we gazed at the stars
I'll never forget the tear that flowed down your cheeks
I won't forget
The way you waved to me until the very end
So let's stay this way in our dreams, forever...

I'll never forget being with you at the end of summer
With our dreams of the future and big hopes
I believe that ten years later in August, we'll meet again
I knew that, until the end, you were shouting
"Thank you" from the bottom of your heart
Farewell while smiling and holding back tears is so hard
Such great memories...
Such great memories...

"Six childhood friends grew apart in high school. One of them is Jintan, now a shut-in. He gets a request to fulfill a wish for Menma, the only one of their friends to have stayed the same over the years. In order to grant her wish, he will have to find and reunite their old friends."  via

Dieser Anime trägt wohl mit Abstand den längsten Titel, der mir je begegnet ist:
Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai
oder abgekürzt einfach nur AnoHana.

Ich hab bisher nur 2 Folgen gesehen, aber die Geschichte hat mich so dermaßen berührt, dass ich unbedingt schnell ein Fanart dazu zeichnen wollte. Zusammen mit dem Ending ist der Anime einfach nur tieftraurig. Es waren gerade mal zwei (!!) Folgen, aber jedes Mal hatte ich beim Zusehen so ein schweres Gefühl im Magen... (╯︵╰,) 
In den ersten 5 Minuten hätte ich am liebsten wieder ausgemacht, weil das Rumgequietsche von Menma für meine Ohren ziemlich nervig war, allerdings bin ich dann doch dran geblieben, weil mir der Anime Stil sehr gefiel ♥ Hat sich ausgezahlt; ich hätte echt nicht erwartet, dass mich bereits die erste Folge so aufwühlen würde. :'D Gah.

This Anime is one of the newcomer this spring I think. And it has the longest title I've ever seen lol *points at post title*

AnoHana is so nicely done - the characters are lovely and the drawing is great! But the story is so sad. x_x After watching the first episode I really had teary eyes 'cause you wouldn't expect the sudden turn. (╥_╥)

The Ending is great too. It's such a great song about friendship. I really wanted to do a quick fanart of this series...
