I wish I were following this show during its run so I could see what everyone else’s opinions were as time went on, but what are you gonna do?
I don’t know if it’s because it seems like True Tears is trying to hard to be as dramatic as it can be or maybe it’s just the kind of cynical and bitter mood I’ve been in as of late. Whatever the reason is I just could not find myself getting into this show. It was more like tapping my foot waiting for each episode to end hoping that maybe the next episode might bring something exciting.
I mean, come on. This is why I hate high school drama anime. I can’t watch it because I am so judgmental of all the actions and dialogue of the characters. Everyone is sad and/or angry and/or likes someone else and trying to get their attention while using other people in the process. It’s so stupid and just reminds me of my bitter high school years. It sucks that the only cheerful person in the show is one crazy bitch that likes to talk to chickens.
Noe is one freaking weird character, and even a weirder character if you encounter a person like her in real life. Noe is… I don’t know even how to freaking describe her. Is she just from a sheltered background? How the hell goes through a thing like in episode 7 where she is like, “I think I’m in love.” and she didn’t even realize it until Shinichiro mentioned it? I have a feeling she is one of those girls that is in high school and still doesn’t know men have a pOnOs. Does such a girl even exist in real life like that?
Although, Hiromi becomes extremely bitchy mid series and makes Noe look more tolerable. Once Hiromi opens up again it is pretty cute.
The thing with Ai and Shinichiro’s friend was such a train wreck. Come on dude, just give up she’s not interested in you. That shit should have ended sooner.
My god, and the mother in this show was such a freaking bitch. One of the most bitchy moms I’ve encountered in anime, and it wasn’t even properly explained why, I thought.
I would say that episode 6 definitely changed my whole opinion of the characters up to that point and drew me in a little bit though, but not for long. I don’t know about you guys, but I knew the whole siblings thing wasn’t true. I wasn’t sucked into that bullshit. It just all seemed so ridiculous. Shin’s dad didn’t seem like the type to fool around.
I dunno. It was an okay show. Nothing awesome. You see, I just can’t take these shows seriously, and they probably end up being worse than they really are in my eyes. Just look at all the other shows I’ve seen like it. They all don’t have very high ratings. Truth be told, I’m a romance sap but this kind of stuff is just retarded.

Koji Oe@ although I haven’t heard about this anime yet, I think it’s a safe bet I shouldn’t see it, since I too tend to be very judgemental of teenage dramas, because I see all the bullshit and it constantly makes me think, “if this makes up even half of teens today, there is no hope for the word”, and so I get all depressed just thinking about the possibility. Seems that there are so many movies just like that- I hope to God that the volume of shows and movies don’t represent reality, that there aren’t really that many hopelessly nieve people out there- the level of ridiculousness is almost painful to watch.
ok, kinda got melodramatic myself there :P – thanks for warning in advance :-)

Uh, the mom was always pissed because Shinichiro’s dad DID cheat on her. Her “revenge” was to tell the daughter her dad wasn’t really her dad.
