A Few Words:
-Well sh*t,I'm a loss for words over here.I guess at first i again misjudged the anime for having the genre being "Drama" and if your a frequent reader,You know that i don't have a good deal with the genre of Drama.But this anime sucked me in,I guess it's easy for me to lower my standards but no.I think i didn't lower my standards in any way here.
Anyways, I suppose i can say this has got to be one of the best anime's I've seen,The plot is not like the one with "Asura-Cryin-Plot-Syndrome" where at the middle of everything, everything gets a little bit clusterfucked and you need some explanations for it.Also may i say that if your not the type of person who can relate to stuff, I guess this anime might work but it might not.Kind of like a 50-50 chance over here.
So throughout the whole anime I've been feeling that heavy in the inside kind of feeling.But throughout the whole anime I can god damn relate to the freaking characters.Because i too have lost a friend, anyways the anime's idea for the concept of it was very very original.Instead of just lashing out some 2 characters in-love with each other, what you get is a group of friends.But i thought just a group of friends couldn't really make a "DRAMA" but holy sh*t did they move my heart at the very end.
Yes call me a soft bastard but it's a drama, what the hell do you expect? a freaking laugh at the end?...
Also at the eleventh episode(SPOILER) Where all of them said there selfish thoughts.Now that's another part of losing a loved one.You kinda cover it up with stuff and now it builds up try to get you.

Ratings On This Anime:
1.Story 8.5/10 - Not the very best story you can see out there but it gets the job done alright.And not confusing in any way.Just plain straight and clear.
2.Artwork 10/10 - I like how it resembles HOTD,BECAUSE IT DOES.Or somewhat it reminds of Toradora too.Anyway the artwork is very good,Well proportioned bodies and they actually had noses.I thought the anime industry is never going to change their ways with the "No-Nose-Policy".

3.OP Song 9/10 - Definitely perfect for the anime, as a theme for an anime with childhood friends and other stuff.It really fits the spot for the opening of every episode.
ED Song 8.3/10 - And another one that fits that spot for the ED song.Slow yet good,It's slow but it's music in the ears.
4.Animation 8/10 - This anime didn't really need the heavy animations that other anime's have.But again, at least it gets the job done.
5.Concept 10/10 - The idea for the anime is really original with the spirit being a girl who needs to get to heaven but requires her wish to be granted to get there.Seriously at the first time i heard about that.I thought it was a bad idea to have a character like that.But it turns out that you can do large stuff with small pieces.
6.Fanservice N/A - Absolutely no fanservice was shown on this anime.And I MEAN NO FANSERVICE.
7.Drama in it 10/10 - Definitely,I can call a "Drama" a drama when it can actually relate the characters to the viewers.And i can call it a drama when you can actually move the hearts of the viewer.

So This Anime?
Pass , Average , Fail
It's definitely a PASS,aside from the fact that it did it's JOB of being a DRAMA genre.It had an appropriate ENDING.Not just a freaking slap in the face where you have all the characters sobbing at the very end.NO! They actually tried to build-up the sequences for the final epic blow.
But in all seriousness,If you can easily relate to stuff then i suggest that if your going to watch this anime, you should get a freaking handkerchief or a tissue box to wipe off your tears at some scenes.

What this anime has taught me:
-This anime taught me that GROWING UP SUCKS! did you know that feeling when you were a kid like you could do anything? even when its beyond your reach? yeah that feeling.And now that your a grown up you know all the bitterness of the TRUTH.Which is like a hard slap on the face and a punch in the stomach when you remember the old days where you can imagine and make it happen even when its crappy.You can actually view it like a masterpiece.(I know this anime didn't really show me that, but it made me realize)
Oh and it also taught me that when you grow up with friends and then you change,If they are your real friends, even when you change they are still there.EVEN when you change.
