Live-Action Anohana Announcement

Turns out there's going to be a Live-Action TV Special version of the anime Anohana (use the link to check out what the story is about), which will air on 21 September. It has also been said that the main characters (in the order that they're shown below the cast) will be played by children (don't the kids look adorable?).

The well-known Secret Base song will be performed by the band Silent Siren as the show's theme song, whilst Galileo Galilei will perform the anime's opening theme song Aoi Shiori. The script is being worked on by Yoshihiro Izumi.

It seems promising just by looking at the cast, but whether the TV Special will live up to the successful anime is another thing. The cast playing the older version of everyone are similar in age too, ranging from 14-21 years. I don't understand why they're including an older version of Menma when Jintan is only supposed to see the child version of her.

Anyway, I'll keep tabs on this to see what else we can find out before it airs. I'm assuming this will only be in Japan, but stay tuned for more info on the TV Special.
