True Tears

[KrayZ33]

the ending was beautiful.. well the part with the injured Noe trying to pick up the picture book is very cliche like but who cares. i liked it when shinichro started to sing and cry... that really got me especially when he cried out "inside shinichro's heart is yuasa hiromi" that was just heart taking ^^ that was a nice "farewell"

i didn't understand the part with hiromi's splitt though? was it mentioned somewhere that she always tried to do that or something? i don't get the metaphor or symbol.. or whatever this was supposed to be... well maybe it was just fanservice, since she looked hot with her ponytail, glasses and her pants

good thing that he ended up with hiromi, that couple is just more fitting since Noe is so childish and well..small.

Of course, it was meant to show, how great having sex with her will be for Shinichiro...erm,....eh....

But the problem is that it may break proof of virginity, thus leading Hentaï "True Tears" Sequel to another quagmire. (joking of course, but I thought the same when I saw that scene)

Regarding that last ep, it clearly lacked something I can't really describe. I wasn't moved at all, maybe I was in a bad day and couldn't catch the atmosphere there?
The only scene that cheared me up was the very short one with AI chan, sometimes it's hard to understand why you react to something so simple.

Well, another interresting show is ending. Always a bit sad.

i wouldn't mind seeing some hentai-stuff with Hiromi ^_^

well i think it lacked something like a real drama in the end, everybody excepted a lot of tears and maybe even suicide or something like that... or murder...
it was a peacefull ending and i don't know why but i liked how noe was able to cry in the end. that was somehow touching, because she liked shinichro but inside is his heart is yuasa hiromi *sing* ^^

Just got to finish this series. Superb art and animation quality. I certainly like how the series ended, peacefully. The ending is actually what I wanted though (Hiromi being the one chosen by Shinnichirou) .

Watched the entire series this sunday morning...
What can I say? Overall I liked the story a lot, but I did not like he ended up with Hiromi, despite everything that happened between them. I was rooting for Ai-chan at first lol... but I think she is better with the other guy, she just needed to move on. I was hoping Shin'ichiro chose Noe though. I never liked Hiromi, since ep1.

Last thread I raise from the grave I promise. I just have to ask though, did Noe die at the end? She seemed like she was running full speed on that ledge by the sea, and there were rocks at the bottom, a wave splashing, and then a scene of the mountains which is "close to the sky" and her grandma. That reads like a suicide to me...

[shinta|hikari]

No she didn't.

How was the show by the way?

[Uchiha Barles]

It was good. The main character pissed me off to no end though. A little empathy *or* a little courage on his part would've done a world of good for everyone involved. Had his best friend been in that same situation, I highly suspect things would've went MUCH smoother. Miyokichi >>> Shin'ichiro. Not to mention Shin'ichiro was too easily moved to anger for my tastes.

As far as the girls are concerned, I liked Noe the most. She was both quirkier and more insightful than Hiromi and Aiko. I guess as a consequence of that wisdom, she never did anything to sabotage her relationship with Shin...unlike Hiromi. So I was kind of bummed when she wasn't picked. That's not to say I disliked Hiromi though. She was in a shitty situation and turned out quite well despite that. But then again, Noe wasn't much better off and turned out better imo. Regardless...I can see why Shin would choose Hiromi, she was a good girl. I'd have chosen differently. As far as Aiko was concerned...I liked her personality over the other two, but not her lack of resolve. That ended up hurting Miyokichi, but he handled that shit like a boss, and she was infatuated with Shin' so...again, I get it. She made her move, got rejected, and behaved with a decent amount of honor, everything considered.

I haven't seen many romance stories, but of the ones I have, this is the first where I've seen the rival girls actually clash head to head. That was great to watch. Hiromi was manipulative, but noe was a straight shooter. "Yeah bitch, eat this fucking bento. Put it in your mouth. I don't really get what's going on here, so you know what? Forget the bento, I'm kicking your ass!" That's a rather liberal and somewhat inaccurate paraphrase of what actually happened in that scene where they fought at lunch time, but that's the impression I got.

Overall I enjoyed the series, and it had just the right amount of melodrama for me. I wasn't moved to tears but I did feel the drama.

As you can read from my posts in this thread, I hated Hiromi pretty much the entire series, right up until the last two episodes. But the series did a good job of redeeming her, after she could finally be herself.

Admittedly, it won me over.
