Anime Plot:
A group of six childhood friends drift apart after one of them, "Menma"(girl in white dress in the video), dies in an accident. Ten years after the incident, the leader of the group, Jinta(guys in red T-shirt in the video), has withdrawn from society and lives as a recluse. One summer day, the ghost of an older looking Menma appears before him and asks to have a wish granted, reasoning that she cannot pass on into the afterlife until it is fulfilled. Since Menma does not remember what her wish is, Jinta gathers his estranged friends together once again, believing that they are the key to resolving this problem. However, hidden feelings, internal conflicts, and lingering feelings of bitterness from Menma's parents result in complications for the group as they struggle to help not only Menma move on, but themselves as well.
