In the first episode of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, titled Super Peace Busters, we are introduced to the main character, Jinta Yadomi. Jinta is a high school student who lives a reclusive life. He often spends his days playing video games alone in his room and avoiding contact with others. However, Jinta's life takes an unexpected turn when he starts seeing a ghostly figure of his childhood friend, Menma.

Menma was a playful and carefree girl who used to be a part of Jinta's friend group, which they called the Super Peace Busters. Sadly, Menma passed away in a tragic accident when they were children, and her death has had a lasting impact on Jinta and the rest of the group. Jinta believes that he is the only one who can see Menma's ghostly figure, but Menma claims that she has a wish she needs to be granted before she can move on.

Throughout the episode, Jinta struggles to decipher whether Menma's ghostly figure is real or just a figment of his imagination. He tries to avoid her and focus on his reclusive lifestyle, but the memories of his childhood start to resurface, and he realizes that he has been running away from his past.

Meanwhile, Jinta's former friends, who are now estranged from each other, slowly start to reappear in his life. We are introduced to Naruko Anjo, a fashionable and outgoing girl who used to have a crush on Jinta. She is determined to find out why Jinta has been skipping school and avoiding his friends.

We are also introduced to Atsumu Matsuyuki, a serious and studious boy who used to be the mediator of the group. Atsumu is now in a prestigious school and has no interest in reconnecting with his former friends until Jinta calls him out of the blue.

Finally, we meet Chiriko Tsurumi, a quiet and introspective girl who used to be the brains of the group. Chiriko is hesitant to reconnect with her former friends, but she is persuaded by Naruko to help them find out why Jinta has been acting so strange lately.

As the episode progresses, we see Jinta slowly opening up to his friends and starting to come to terms with his past. He also starts to believe that Menma's ghostly figure may be real, and he begins to work towards granting her wish.

The first episode of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day is a poignant and emotional start to the story. It introduces us to a cast of characters who are all dealing with the impact of Menma's death in their own way. It also sets up the central mystery of the series – what is Menma's wish, and how can the Super Peace Busters grant it?

Overall, Super Peace Busters is a strong introduction to the series that leaves the viewer intrigued and invested in the story.
