Summary:
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 Ten years after the incident, the leader of the group, Jinta Yadomi, has withdrawn from society and lives as a recluse.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. At first, he only tries to help her minimally because he thinks he is hallucinating. But 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. All of the group join him, though most of them do so reluctantly. However, things grow increasingly complicated when his friends accuse him of not being able to get over the death of Menma, for Jinta is the only one who can see Menma's ghost and his friends think he is seeing things. But as matters progress, it is realized that Jinta is not the only person in the group who is having trouble letting go of the past. It is revealed that a majority of the group members blame themselves for Menma's death and long hidden feelings are rekindled. The group struggles as they grow from trying to help Menma move on and help each other move on as well.
Own Opinion
The first time I saw this anime was on t.v. and the first thing it thought was "what a long title!". I was disappointed because it only have eleven episode but what suprises me was the ending. I was crying like a baby. It was the first time i cried in an anime so much! It really have everything the little romance and importance of friendship. So guys you should watch it but make sure you have a boxes of tissue.

Drama Recommendation No. 4
Clannad / Clannad After story
Genre: Drama, fantasy, Romance
Episodes: Season 1: 23 episodes, season 2: 24 episodes, 1 ova, 1 movie
Manga: 5 volumes, status completed
Opening song: Mag Mell' by Eufonius, Toki o Kizamu Uta by Lia
Ending song: DangoDaikazoku by Chata., Torch by Lia
Summary:
Clannad's story revolves around Tomoya Okazaki, a third year high school student who dislikes his life. Tomoya's mother (Atsuko) died when Tomoya was young, leaving his father (Naoyuki) to raise him. After the accident, Tomoya's father turned to alcohol and gambling, and had frequent fights with his son. One day, Naoyuki, while arguing with his son, slammed Tomoya against the window, dislocating Tomoya's shoulder. This injury prevents Tomoya from playing on the basketball team, and causes him to distance himself from others. Ever since then, his father has treated Tomoya nicely, but distantly, as if Tomoya and he were strangers rather than a family. This hurts Tomoya more than his previous relationship with his father, and the awkwardness of returning home leads Tomoya constantly to stay out all night. Thus his delinquent life begins. Tomoya's good friend Youhei Sunohara, who was thrown out of the soccer club over a dispute with his seniors, is also a delinquent and often hangs out in his dorm room with Tomoya doing nothing much.
The story opens on Monday April 14, 2003 at the beginning of the school year,[1] when Tomoya meets Nagisa Furukawa, a soft-spoken girl who is one year older than he is but is repeating her last year in high school due to being sick much of the previous year. Her goal is to join the drama club which she was unable to do due to her sickness, but they find that the drama club was disbanded after the few remaining members graduated. Since Tomoya has a lot of time to kill, he helps Nagisa in reforming the drama club. During this period, Tomoya meets and hangs out with several other girls whom he gets to know well and help with their individual problems.
Own Opinion
Clannad o clannad. Maybe this anime is the most dramatic anime i ever watched. Every episode doesn't lose its feels. Specially the fuko arc. Ugh..i'm tearing up again!! Well if clannad is an anime of feels how about the season 2? O my!! Maybe i can produce a bucket tears by watching the afterstory. And the moment Tomoya apologize to Ushio I was crying so much!

Drama Recommendation No. 5
Angel Beats
Genre: Drama, fantasy, comedy, action, tradegy
Episodes: 13 episodes
Manga: 7 volumes, status ongoing
Opening song: My Soul, Your Beats! by Lia
Ending song: Brave Song by Aoi Tada
Summary:
Angel Beats! takes place at a high school acting as a limbo for those who have died, where students learn to give up any lingering attachments they still have from life before passing on. Those in the afterlife school can still feel pain as they did when they were alive, as well as dying again, only to awaken later with no injuries. The story follows the main protagonist Otonashi, a boy who lost his memories of his life after dying. He meets Yuri, a girl who invites him to join the Afterlife Battlefront, an organization she founded and leads which fights against God for the cruel fates the SSS members experienced in life. In the SSS, there is a four-girl band named Girls Dead Monster that acts as a diversion during missions, and an organization called the Guild that mass-producesweapons out of dirt and supplies them to the SSS. Their only enemy is Angel, a girl who has supernatural powers and fights against the SSS. Angel creates her powers with the aid of a computer program called Angel Player. The rest of the afterlife school is populated by a large number of "normal" students and teachers Yuri deems "non-player characters" (NPCs) as they are not human, but look and act the part.
Own Opinion
Angel Beats is a normal anime with an action genre. I'm sure some of you will think that as a first impression but when you watch it. I'm telling you you won't regret watching it. Except for the ending, Haha some of you guys that watched this know what i mean. With the perfect amount of comedy and action and a bunch of feels this anime should be on your list.
Rank: 5 over 5 stars
