I'll just copy pasta my [C] and AnoHana discussions from ANN.

I understood that Kimimaro basically saved Japan and shaped it the way he desired. The thing I didn't understand was the actual meaning of the ending. From what I've heard, nobody recognizes Kimimaro. Don't know how true that is and I'm questioning what happened to Hanabi and the others. This just makes me feel sad.] Gah, I want more!

Now, before you guys think I'm an emotionless *******, I have to say there was a scene that was moving. Menma's final words. That scene was something I didn't anticipate and a great way for Menma to say goodbye. I'll also admit that I expected Menma to be fully v
