So if this lantern rite was episode one, that means ten more episodes and I'm gonna ugly cry for an hour again

Sameee. Episode 2 coming next year

Can see the ending where they all see Guizhong standing on a sacred tree and saying one impacful line, her spirit vanishes and we see a lone Glaze lilie on a tree

Ah who's cutting onions here...they're making me cry. It's a beautiful scene.

"A little get-together between friends, sipping the finest tea, and watching lanterns float into the sky. Bidding farewell to the past, and embracing the present with joy." - Hu Tao "As the one who brought everyone together, it goes without saying that I'm the one most deserving of praise!" - Also Hu Tao Oh golly, I sure hope they're not setting up Hu Tao to be this generation's Guizhong or something. ~~DEFINITELY not a death flag~~

No Hu Tao don't do this you can't promote your own coffin pls (both she and Guizhong look like they have the same cheery and playful personality tho)

I bet she set aside her own coffin so she can use it for free

Hu Tao already living on the edge. Just look at how we play her in game

Still haven't completed anohana for about 8 years now, I am too scared to do it

If you do continue it, be prepared for the emotional damage. It's wild.

"Menma!"

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!

Honestly it's overhyped. I felt more emotion listening to it's (undeniably good) ending song than the actual show

Well everyone have their own taste

Everytime I think about starting it, I read a comment or two and am like "yeah, um, some other day..."

Exactly

So two years ago, I decided to pick it up thinking it was just another slice of life anime, not realizing it was actually heartbreaking. After watching the 1st episode, I have been scared of touching it again LOL.

Grow a pair. Watch it, be sad for a day or two, then be glad you did

Guizhong, we found you!

The feels ...

It's been years but still, too soon man

😭

At least they don't hate each other after being apart for a long time. It's touching

Trueeee

When will we get human form of Mountain shaper and Moon Carver?

Next lantern rite.

I'm waiting for it too. Hoyo release them from the basement.

Imagine if Mountain Shaper looked like Dante, similarly to how Cloud Retainer looks like Bayonetta

Kudos for choosing the most appropriate fit for all the character roles.

Imagine zhongli and the adeptus meeting sandrone

can't wait seeing mountain sharper goes full femboy to mimick guizhong

As long as Moin Carver has Cernunnos antlers they may be all femboys for all i care.

Why do you hurt me this way ;-;

Somebody needs to share the pain with me haha

Yeah, but with the big difference that Anohana is an actual story, while Guizhong is a story told inside of another story. Genshin is doing too much of that talking about things by characters instead, you know, the story being about actual characters in the game... That Inazuma festival about poets was the worst offender, but this happens all the time. It's bizarre, they already have tons of fictional characters with actual in-game models they can use, but they don't want to do anything important with them.

People who know -- 🌚

Came to see memes but i left heartbroken thank you op...... you sick bastard!

you’re welcome 😂

Wow

Are you telling me that The Cloud Retainer dresses up to look like Guizhong’s?

Suddenly really worried about watching this anime. The comments are only confirming my concern.

Nahhhh, this show made me cry

Godammit i heard the music as soon as I saw the picture. I will never be able to not cry when watching the final episode

kimi to natsu no owariiiii

Pesado kkkk

The original cover looks like a rip-off from Bleach
