Use of nicknames
The article seems to prefer using characters' proper first names, although it occasionally uses nicknames interchangeably. I think it would be best to standardize on using nicknames, since they are the most common ways of referring to characters in the show. Menma in particular is almost never referred to as Meiko. Even Anaru comes to accept being called by her nickname. 4368 (talk) 16:17, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Menma half Serbian? Bulgarian? Ukrainian? Russian?
The sign on Menma's house reads 3 names in normal Latin script + 1 in Cyrillic of all things, a totally different alphabet (ИРЕНЕ [cyr] = I-re-ne [lat] - apparently her mother). Not sure which Cyrillic-based languages write the Christian name Irene as such, except that Russian usually doesn't (Ирина = I-ri-na), but even that's a) no guarantee, b) could be a screw-up by the Noitamina in trying to replicate any of the above languages. But, anyways, is this that very special case of an anime character that's platinum blonde and blue-eyed actually representing someone... platinum-blonde and blue-eyed?! 208.127.80.135 (talk) 10:48, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

US-centric reference
In the first line of the Plot section: "sixth-grade-age" conveys nothing to this Anglophone but non-North American reader, whose educational system does not use "grade" terminology. (Does Japan?) Yes, I could look it up (though it isn't wikilinked), but the necessity must be irksome for the presumably millions of readers in a similar situation. Could this article be copyedited to eliminate parochialisms? {The poster formrly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.122.177.55 (talk) 21:08, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day → Anohana – The series is usually referred to as simply "Anohana" outside of official licensor websites and listings; both Japanese and English fans refer to it as such online. In addition, "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" has less than 500,000 hits on Google, compared to over 2 million for "Anohana" without the subtitle. Based on this, it appears that it is the short title that meets WP:COMMONNAME.  Naruto love hinata 5 (talk · contributions) 06:34, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose The subtitle is commonly included when mentioned in WP:RS including here, here and here. That seems to be the WP:COMMONNAME.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 09:56, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support. The proposed name is unambiguous and more concise. And it must be at least as common, as every mention of the longer title is also a mention of the shorter one. Andrewa (talk) 12:56, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support Sources commonly use the series both with and without its subtitle, but since without is shorter and is still unambiguous, it should be favored per WP:CONCISE. Link20XX (talk) 15:03, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support This work was one of the main examples I gave at WikiProject Anime and Manga of page titles that have unnecessary subtitles per WP:SUBTITLE. Opencooper (talk) 13:31, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Anohana 10 Years After Fes. not mentioned
Is there a reason the unproduced Anohana 10 Years After story is no longer mentioned on this page? I remember, before the actual event happened, the plans for it were mentioned on this page. The event took place August 28, 2021 as a cast reunion and script reading that was live-streamed and shows the characters 10 years after the anime series. A summary of the reading is here (and another here)though the stream was never translated and I'm not sure if it was recorded. MatrixM (talk) 02:08, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
