[Faerie]

So instead of playing EQ, I watched the remaining episodes.

There might be some spoilers, so don't read more of this post!

The ending made me cry, of course. After they had all made the conscious decision to grow up a little, and apologize to Menma for their selfish feelings, it got much better. But the entire time when they were quarreling over who liked who and how their dating lives were going to unfold once she made the return to Heaven, I kinda felt like it was just too much. It was worth watching, mostly for the ending, but it doesn't even come close to being as good as the shows I'd told you about. When you're dealing with heavy subject matter like the death of a child/parent, a spirit on a mission before going to Heaven, and people crazy with grief... jr. high drama somehow feels out of place.

But maybe that's how people that age (14?? I'm never very clear on this with anime) would have handled it; I don't know. I was reminded of my dead friends, and the feelings didn't match up right.

I loved that she became the flowers.
