A pretty great opening to the series! We get to see a glimpse of each character that was involved in the past story and I could already feel the grief and somber vibes even from the first episode so I’m hoping we can maintain that throughout the series to get maximum feels🥲

This is such an refreshing take on stories surrounding grief and guilt. How would different kids react to it. The plot is enjoyable and making me wonder about the rest of characters. Beautiful art style and soundtrack too.

Even from the very first episode, you can already feel how heavy the story is because of what happened to Menma. Their friendship fell apart and drift away from each other. I hope that in the next episodes, what really happened.

That sudden reappearance of Menma hits weird—soft, nostalgic, but unsettling at the same time. Jinta’s shut-in vibe feels real, and the episode builds quiet tension instead of rushing drama. Easy hook, you’ll want to keep watching. 🥀

A little bit confusing at first, but as the story goes on, it clears up a lot. That said, it’s a very solid start to the premiere—very mysterious and intriguing. Overall great—the animation is solid, the story is intriguing, and the characters are interesting. Top recommended.

Even in the first episode, this already showcase the importance of life and death for each individual. It'll be exciting to see more of the things that will happen and how the characters will unlock each heart.

EPISODE CONTEXT

As the first of eleven episodes, 'Super Peace Busters' is pure foundation—it establishes Jinta's emotional state, introduces the supernatural catalyst in Menma, and hints at a fractured friend group that will become central to the series. The remaining ten episodes will progressively unravel what happened to the Super Peace Busters and why these characters drifted apart, building toward what the show is best known for: an emotionally devastating finale. Everything seeded here—the guilt, the distance, the longing—pays off across a tightly structured single-cour run.
