One of the animes will return with another film, AnoHana (Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae…) . The announcement was made by the series' producers and staff directly from the annual Anohana Summer Festival in Japan. For now, we don't know the plot of this film, or if it will have any connection to the main series.
Tatsuyuki Nagai will once again direct the film, Mari Okada will write the screenplay, and Masayoshi Tanaka will design the character. The three will collaborate once again to produce the next film, which will be released in 2015.
Better known as Ano Hana, it is a 2011 anime produced by A-1 Pictures and directed by Tatsuyuki Nagai. It aired on Fuji TV's noitaminA block between April and June 2011. The anime is licensed in North America by NIS America, where its first film was released in 2013, titled Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, which retold the anime's story from the point of view of the main character, Menma.
The series revolves around a group of six childhood friends who are separated after one of them, Meiko "Menma" Honma, dies in an accident. Ten years after this tragedy, the group's leader, Jinta Yadomi, isolates himself from society and lives in seclusion. One summer day, however, Menma appears to Jinta, looking older, asking for his help in granting her wish. She believes she must fulfill it to fulfill her destiny. However, Menma doesn't remember what her wish was, prompting Jinta to reunite his childhood friends, believing they hold the key to solving this problem. However, hidden feelings, internal conflicts, and persistent feelings of sadness for Menma's parents result in complications for the group as they struggle not only to help Menma, but also to help themselves.
