Just remembered something I noticed throughout this episode and I just have to post it here. ^^

When Ai-chan calls Nobuse, for me her voice sounds like Noes voice. Wouldnt that have been interesting if Noe would have tried to become Nobuses gilrfriend? From my point of view it would have made sense. Think about it: Both have a broken heart, Noe tried to curse Nobuse to overcome this pain but it failed and she knows it. Ai-chan seems to be not interested in Nobuse at all (she even thanked Noe for the curse). So after all this Noe could have seen a "sorrow-mate" in Nobuse and tried to help Nobuse (and herself) by teaming up against the "dream team" Shin x Hiromi.

This would habe been something totally unexpected and a better story twist. Dont get me wrong. Ai and Nobuse getting together again is nice and heartwarming......but also kind of predictable (at least for me).

I wonder if I would call that an "unexpected and a better story twist". It was done in so many other anime and manga before that the two "unloved" ones become a couple. I don't like that kind of stuff. "Leftovers falling in love with each other" Good that this didn't happen in true tears.

I'm truly softened when Noe said that the one in Shin'ichiro's heart is Hiromi. XD

I don't want this to happen, but I really feel sorry for Noe. She's just got involved by Shin's idiotness. Ouch!

Yea I agree with you there too after she said that, which was somewhat of a surprise, but at the same time not really a surprise... <_<

Really felt sorry for Noe this episode.. Wonder what will happen to her now. The Shinchiro ending with Hiromi is pretty set up now. Maybe the incest is coming up now between Noe x No #4 lol.

Awesome series and a 5/5 episode.

I'm now, officially, rooting for Hiromi&Shin'ichiro.
I have to be honest, though. I'm starting to have doubts about this anime.
Unless 'True Tears' ends with a BANG!, I'm going to be real disappointed.

Wow, that was an ultimate cliffhanger there..

I think shin loves noe, because when he was with hiromi at the beach he was reminding noes words, you guys will see, he will do something in the festival that only noe can see.

and then SHIN x NOE 4eVeR

hm..

hiromi's thought, "i love him, but he's still with noe. while jun's keep bugging me around. should i call him or not? but if i call him, he'll jump out and look for heruntil he find her..i showed him that i love him with the kiss..but why he draw that story? is he still confuse with his own feelings? no, he's just too kind&can't hurt noe's feeling. i should let him sort his own feelings. i've settled things with jun so it should be fine. okay, i'll tell him about noe. i have to believe in him"

noe's thought "he said he like me. i like him too, alot!!but his heart full with hiromi. there's no way i can slip in. oh well, it's just you and me jibeta. show me your tears"

shin thought, "i'm finally get some time with hiromi. she kissed me, that's great. but i'm still with noe. and the beach is noe&my place. why she suddenly said she want to go there? only memories of noe is there. noe, i have to show her the drawing book... and now she's gone. with jibeta! gotta find her quick! i need to talk to her before she does strange things again!"

jun thought,"i can't afford to lose hiromi. shin will choose hiromi instead of her. i will not let noe sad. i must have hiromi keep our deal, no matter what!"

...lol. that's fanfic. what's real is, i love true tears (though it comes 2nd after clannad ^^)


great analysis!! totally what i was thinking as well :D

No! I want Noe to end with Shin! No hiromi! Like I already said Noe has magic but Hiromi is only selfish, is not that I don't like her, but you can compare her to Noe.

About the end I don't like where things are going.

Aiko and Miyokichi getting back together and starting over again was a nice surprise. Now that Aiko has let go of Shinichiro, she can start anew with Miyokichi. All that's left now is for Shinichiro to properly break up with Noe, as it stands now, it looks as if he were cheating on her with Hiromi. I feel sad for Noe, Shinichiro must make his decision now and break up with her, stalling will only hurt Noe even more.

I feel terrible for Noe, I want Shin to be with her. Noe is so unselfish, and she truly does care for Shin, deeper than Hiromi does. Grr at that kiss!

I liked how the episode ended, it was rather touching and makes me excited to watch the next!

This anime should have ended after 8 episodes when Shin and Noe were together :(. But of course since Shin and Hiromi went to a festival a million years ago they have to end up together. They're both quite boring (or at least ordinary) so maybe it's just as well. Noe as much as anyone deserves someone who truly appreciates her for what she is, even more than her brother, and this series simply doesn't have such a character.

Aiko and Miyokichi is good to see. But still, what really is their point in the anime...?

Hiromi, how dare she get angry for Shin having to look for Noe? And that bitch almost didn't tell him...
I fucking hate her.

I really hope Noe is not about to suicide, though I wouldn't really be surprised, after the sad things that happened to her. It was so sad when Noe continued the singing with "Inside Shin's heart there is...Hiromi" :(

Shin is a jerk, he should have at least tell Noe that he doesn't want to be with her anymore. He is starting to remind me of Makoto from School Days...

That ending... damn another cliffhanger! But it does seem Noe knows... I find it rather sad as I'm a fan of Noe!
The kiss with Hiromi was interesting but I wonder what he'll decide! The part with Ai and Miyokichi was nice, I do hope they'll get together or at least this is enough that they have a nice start once more!

I really wonder what's next!

This is getting a Myself;Yourself vibe, Noe possibly will commit suicide along with the chicken. So Noe said Shunichiro can't fly there because she knows Shinichiro loves Hiromi, and she at the same time sent him a message saying "Please look at me, help me with this sadness".

This is why I don't like Noe. She's just too immature. I hope Shin doesn't just feel bad for her and decide to get back with her. It's obvious that he's grown a liking to her over the course of the show but he's always been in love with Hiromi.

Shinichiro, you two-timer...
Both Noe and Hiromi are losing some points for me.
I didn't expect Noe to go almost psycho over this triangle, she was shown having a strong personality before, this just doesn't feel right.
Hiromi is being really selfish, I get that she likes Shinichiro, but she should have at least a bit of respect in regards to Noe. She's not behaving properly.
And seriously, Aiko? You're still not done torturing that poor guy? Now that she's alone a rebound is better than nothing, I guess... She's the only character I truly despise.

Ouch, Noe just compared Hiromi to a cockroach.
I really hope Noe doesn't slip and kill both herself and Ground the chicken. Raigomaru's dead, I don't want Ground to die too.

Anyways, if Noe ends up with Shinichirou, this anime stays an 8/10 for me easily. Would be hard to mess that up. It just feels like to me that Noe needs Shinichirou's love a lot more than Hiromi does. Something about Hiromi just feels... dark. Noe on the other hand is a cute autist. What's not to love?

Having said that, I don't have high hopes anymore. And since we only have 2 episodes left, it's not like there would be a lot more cute romantic scenes. This anime decided to go full on drama route instead of sharing some of that drama time with nice romance. I guess the kiss scene between Hiromi and Shinichirou was romantic though... But I don't root for them.

Interesting, I thought the exact same thing. I guess their voices are just similar.

Another bad opinion from you. The chickens are nice and a unique animal to have as a symbol. I don't see a lot of shows with chickens as a focus. And you know why they chose chickens: they're birds that can't fly. Yearning to "fly" even though we cannot is another theme of this show.

I highly doubt it's sexual. Get your mind out of the gutter.
