Due out in theaters on August 31st from A-1 Pictures, the second full length trailer has debuted for anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day. The film retells the tale that we saw in the TV series, which has been released in North America from NIS America. The feature brings us the familiar story for those that saw the series but it tells it from the point of view of the character of Menma instead with some new scenes and expansions.
TV Series Concept: A group of six childhood friends drift apart after one of them, Meiko “Menma” Honma, dies in an accident. Ten years after the incident, the leader of the group, Jinta Yadomi, has withdrawn from society and lives as a recluse. One summer day, the ghost of an older looking Menma appears before him and asks to have a wish granted, reasoning that she cannot pass on into the afterlife until it is fulfilled. Since Menma does not remember what her wish is, Jinta gathers his estranged friends together once again, believing that they are the key to resolving this problem. However, hidden feelings, internal conflicts, and lingering feelings of bitterness from Menma’s parents result in complications for the group as they struggle to help not only Menma move on, but themselves as well.
