True Tears

Way to keep up the suspense...

Hiromi kisses Shin and all he can think about is Noe. I knew it was too damn early. Then there's the last scene with Shin looking upon Noe and Jibeta. This makes the ending pretty much a coin toss now.

Another seven days??? Too damn long! I hate you PA Works. You give me too much anxiety...

dunnoo.. they have a way of making em previews misleading in a sense.. we get to see some clips and hear spoken words, but were not given who the words are being spoken to exactly. Confused

at this point id agree, a coin toss bet hiromi or noe.. tho weighing the circumstances that would be if one is chosen over the other, id say it gotta be Hiromi coz she'd be left with no ties, and her reason for living on her own would be gone -am thinking she left so that she can pursue shins affections since she cant if she stays with the family and was treated as a "daughter"/sister to shin(noe would still have her bro and would carry on as usual).. but aside from that, its sorta leaning on a noe win. however, there happened to be a slight situational misunderstanding between hiromi and shin in the ep(hiromi prolly saw noe's name in the picture book shin was making, and shin saw hiromi had been with noes bro in the park) if not for that im pretty sure it would be a noe finish(all that was needed was to let shins thoughts drift to noe till hiromi notices, but with that added stress bet the two, we now have that material to work with for the last 2 eps coz now they gotta clear that situation out bet them..

ah 2 more eps to go.... Crying or Very sad

I kinda jumped on the Noe bandwagon, from the very meeting between shin and her.

After the introduction of his drawings and what came after (the story of Jibieta and Raigomaru) combined with the particular beautiful mind of Noe, it was not simply a split second of thought; it was kinda clear atleast to me that "they are going to end up together", their minds are actually pretty close to each other, beautiful and delicate in each their own right. That Shin could draw and write a story well seemed pretty natural to Noe but her mind again seemed to be fitting to Shin's own mysterious drawings.

Hiromi didn't even know Shin could/did draw and that he was particular good at it, neither had he ever really visited her room since she moved in. Even though he had a crush on her, i doubt she actually trully would understand him, over the past episodes, it seemed rather clear that they aren't on the same wave.

Noe's first love is shin, she is far from strong, since the very reason she seemed strong was because she more or less left each and every emotion out of the way, also she seems to be one of those who wouldn't want to get too close to people, let alone let them touch her heart. Afterall after shin asked her if she liked him "as in love/romance", she blushed, panic'd, and ran home, with her brother approaching she told him she didn't know what to do, because she had never felt this way before. However he already knew she loved Shin shortly after she began talking about Shin.

Also i believe the story Shin is writing is connected, sadly it does mean a sad ending.

Also the tears that might end in Noe's bottle, might very well be her own unless it ends with a sad ending or if Shin gets his mind straight, the climax to the ending of episode 11, might be the moment of the tears.

Hiromi had a good headstart but Noe is the girl with the beautiful and innocent mind, Hiromi somehow just seems like one of the ordinary chickens while Noe and Shin are Raigomaru and Jibieta.

Shin hasn't yet shown Noe the last pieces of the story yet.... It's a piece in the puzzle.

Whatever happens in the next episode, i hope for a happy ending. Also simply can't wait.... ARGH...

Noe flew off the tree straight into the ground...

Way to cliffhang until the very end.

Hiromi + Kimono = win.

Shin + rice hat + samurai sword = win.

Shin + Hiromi = win.

It's simple math people.

Wait, does that mean Shin = Kimono? How about Hiromi = rice hat + samurai sword? Damn theorems and rules.

Last episode next week. I'll finally be w/o anxiety come next Saturday.

that was some great tension hmm~mm.

doesnt look good for Hiromi tho, she's beginning to act abit desperate, so what gives.. tho that last scene is leaning a bit on Noe's favor..

i guess they still had that chicken book to conclude, hiromi on the other hand may have already played her last card.. im still not convinced tho, since its leaning too much towards Noe im pretty sure it wont be her just coz of that. =P

one more ep...

Bah what an ending, well i was cheering for Noe so that explains it heh.

When you do recap of it now, it gets kinda obvious that the ending would be rather.... unoriginal, they just tried to make it close call thanks to the misleading previews all the time.

the chemistry was never really there in my opinion(since they all had some messy sidetracking going on) and somehow the whole last episode didn't give a vibe, it just seemed like "it had to end somehow, here you go" hehe.

Oh well i expected too much from this anime i guess. =)

I never really believed in those "long term crush" anyway, which probably had alot of effect, both being the one having the crush and being subject to it, in both cases they became boring compared to the "bump into your love suddenly from blue air and never seen/known them before", expectations are often enrolled into those long term crush, when they first begin to deliver, then again, those sugar long crush belong to the school yard. Wink

It was a good Anime, the story just didn't end to my favor that's all =p

The last episode is here and I bet you all are wondering what happens:

Tomoyo has a really bad shot. It's a good thing Hiromi is there to clean up the offensive glass.

Well, seeing how the last episode has been spoilerfied already, my Tomoyo joke falls rather flat...

I won't discuss until subs are out and most people have a chance to watch the thing. While the ending may not have been the best, it certainly does not take away from all the positives that this series has displayed over the past three months. I haven't watched RAWs since Haruhi blessed us with her presence. True Tears became so involving that I was willing to watch it however I can find it. This was probably not a good idea due to the large amount of dialogue. While I could get the gist of the major events going on, I had to wait for summary blogs to get the detail (luckily, people these days blog minutes after watching so there wasn't much down time).

So True Tears ends just in time for spring shows to make their rounds. Meh, I'll take another break. Perhaps wait until the Haruhi sequel or third season of School Rumble makes it debut.

Hmm.. just finished episode 12. about the little tears thing during earlier episodes:
About Shinichiro being able to retrieve Noe's tears, im still on lost grounds. What has it gotta do with the love triangle? Or is she feeling fortunate that someone's going to make her cry(wtf?) Someone care to enlighten me?
