| Well another piece of crap that i regret watching like always.... |
| i want my 260 min back |
8/10, was gonna be a masterpiece but it's a really weak ending. It didn't matter who he chose but how it was executed. |
| The possiblity for another outcome was basically 0. To summarize my thoughts. The characters were good and their struggle relateable to a certain degree, story felt a bit flat at some parts, but was overall solid. The beautiful presentation is where this show shined. It could convince me to jump from a 6 to a 7/10 eventually. |

gioss said: I prefer this ending*re-writes the ending* Shin realizes how much Noe is important for him, as she was the one who cheers him up, gives him courage, etc. Thus he told Hiromi that he likes Noe better. Hiromi (depressed) went to Jun's and tries to have sex with him, Jun declines, slaps her, and see the reality. As time passes, Hiromi finally accepted, that she "graduated" from Shin (like Aiko?). Meanwhile, Noe (depressed) tries to do suicide, because of too much pressure on her and she couldn't get it out since she couldn't cry. Thus Shin tries to stop her, and Shin told her that he loves her. Noe couldn't believe, cuz she thought he's in love with Hiromi, Shin proved it by trying to commit suicide as well. Thus it convinced Noe and they kissed and sex. At the end of Winter, the snows are melting and Shin holding hands with Noe saw the stones written "I love Noe". The end. |
| I'm ok with Hiromi victory, maybe she's the best as she is the promised one. At least weird Noe didn't win. This show tried to be good but I don't think it succeeded. Didn't like. |

| One of the rare shows where childhood friend wins. Normally would be super happy but this is a special case where I'm conflicted about whether I actually like the ending or not... |
join the hyper going home club!  |
| I liked Noe better, damn that pantsu shot, I waited for something to happen so I didn't pay attention to the floor. |

| well, just think of it as censored version school days |

| Noe fan here sitting sad... well glad it didn't went dark like school days. 6/10 |
| One main strength and two main weaknesses. The strength is in the script and presentation, how the producers handled delicate emotional sequences and scenes, almost on a level unmatched by almost all of anime except for shoujo shows. Weakness 1 is the quality and relevance of the metaphors; for a show that relies so much on them that the structure hinges on it and even the title talks about them, the bloody chickens etc. never really felt truly consequential nor beautiful/poetic and just kind of staggered ahead in parallel to the main plot. Weakness 2 is the shoddily written main characters and especially the Nakagami household, they felt variously hollow/unhuman/detached from reality and it was very hard to follow their emotions and vibe to them from a certain point. Both the main girls lost most of their charm they had from the middle and Shin never really had any to start with. The strength coupled with a nicely presented MPDG created an inviting and interesting atmosphere that carried through the first few episodes but as soon as the plot just slightly complicated the latter two took effect and the show seemed to collapse into itself around the MCs, never really recovering. 4/10 maybe. |
| well after all the ads from crunchy roll to watch this anine I binged it in 1 night. I gotta say. why have the kiss prior to the closure instead after confessing. oh well I guess a hug was enough. I sont understand why noe couldn't stay friends with shin and be friends hurumi. instead just cut off ties completely. doesn't feel like closure or that things were done right. it felt like myself yourself ending. not wholesome because not everyone was united together. maybe thats just life I guess. 6 out of 10 for me. after reading domestic girl friend I guess I'm going to have to get used to rushed not feeling complete endings. I think moral of the story is being honest from the jump. even it may hurt people. you'll have alot of burden to yourself and to others. poor brother oh well not oriemo or hentai. but at least he was finally honest with himself. you kind of new from the start he was in love with his younger sister becuase its basically the 2 of them together. if anyone reads this if you can recommend romance anime like this with great closure and everyone is friends that be great. toodles. |
| Finally re-watched it after something like six years just to find that I still love this series. |
 |
| Why did I watch this borefest, lol. |
kurotsuki said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Finally over. bad end for Noe :( Hiromi shipper can now rejoice in peace . I was sad for Noe at first , but then I thought back , and came to the conclusion Shin didn't deserve her . At least i'm happy for Aiko and Nobuse . And with that I am now done with romance stuff for a good long time . Done with the romance stuff now too after this shit end, at least you didn't waste your time thinking maybe you would give an older show a chance. No wonder I didn't watch this 12 years ago! Also his name should be Simp not Shin with how he went with that thot Hitomi...there perfect for each other since the both suck balls. Noe ftw |

| Well it was good to see the childhood friend thats been with the guy forever win once and not the random girl that just showed up outta nowhere. Nowadays it's always the rando girl that wins and the childhood friend or classmate or whatever is wearing the blue hair. But personally noe just had the better personality and was the one that actually tried to be with the MC and understand him and help him. Hiromi was always just running away or making matters worse, bitch get over it and fuck already if you really liked him forever. Even if he had been your half brother just smash who cares, or at least do t take the cunt mom at face value and do your own research, have a little faith in your real mom and dad. |

| the late 2000s/early 2010s really like pushing love stories with almost all unlikable characters and this is definitely one of them. like only the best friend, to a degree Noe, and the chicken are the only decent ones here the music is good tho…especially the Opening and Ending |

| I was rooting for Noe until the end lol Man this hurts. |
| Ill never understand what is the appeal of True Tears, that many anime fans, specially romance fans, just love this anime since it first came out in early 2008. This anime of True Tears is just bland. True Tears is 13 episodes, but it should have been about 10 episodes to get to the point quicker, and maybe it can be an easier watch. But I will admit that True Tears did get better from episode 8 till the end, but that still wont save it from those dull first 7 episodes. True Tears is not a bad anime, but as I said, its mostly just bland and meh, that I cannot really criticized much about it, but that I just do not have much motivation to keep watching and marathoning it. I guess that is what happens with anime that have a "soap-opera-drama" feel to it with the heavy-dramatic background violin music. The male MC is a fine character and not bland nor boring, however, I just dont see why these 3 cute girls are all drooling over him. Nothing about him stands out as a guy that can steal a girl's heart, neither personality nor physically. And I just hated how the male MC was so rude to his mother from the very beginning of the anime till the end. The only thing that gave me some interest in this anime, and it was very small interest since there were barely any scenes, was the love triangle between the male MC/Restaurant Chef Girl/Best Friend of the male MC. ...... But again, we barely got any scenes between this love triangle, and its not like I was even that invested in it when they showed us something since they barely showed us scenes. Overall, True Tears = not a bad anime, its just a bland anime that should have been 10 episodes and not 13 episodes. I did like how the anime used symbolism. I also did like that Noe was able to cry in the final episode. And nice leg-split in this final episode by Hiromi :) . |

| Shin chose Hiromi! I mean, the anime tried to bait us with a pseudo-incest but the person writing this was scared at the end. It would have been intriguing to watch if they happened to be half-siblings and how they would have dealt with it. And all characters were terrible, one worse than the other. Schools suspending students for no valid reason, "bullying", cringe protagonist, awful romance interests. At least this abomination was quickly forgotten by 2022. One of the most generic romance out there. 1/10 for the anime. PD: the characters section is wrong. Jun Isurugi has more screentime in this anime and not the pseudo-love interest Aiko yet she's listed as main character lmao. |

| I think people misunderstood the actual point of the ending and the story. I actual liked the ending tbh as a Noe fan. The main premise of the show was to Shinichiro fullfilling his promise to get Noe's tears back. Yes, he's suitable for Noe but he also need to fullfill his promise to Noe. By what? By breaking her heart from her happiness that she felt from loving Shinichiro. That's the real point of the story, as Shinichiro gave her tears back when Noe chose him to be the chosen one. I liked the symbolism of the title and the ending. |

| As expected from P.A. What an amazing anime with great animation. Kinda hurt tho. |
| nice |
| This show was quite literally awful. I'm glad Shin picked Hiromi(even if she literally had to go and tell him to make a decision, knowing the unlikeable sop that he is), but it really doesn't redeem just how awful the rest of it is. It's like it's School Days but without the depravity? Yet it still has completely unlikeable characters, and the only character who is somewhat likeable is just forced to suffer all the time. A lot of plot threads don't matter whatsoever and a lot of the drama is so obviously forced. Some scenes just make me question why they were included at all. Overall, a waste of time. |
| Definitely one of those animes who've won by the childhood friend. If this was a more modern anime, noe would easily win this. |
| They don't make anime like this no more. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| All together it was alright and both Noe and Hiromi would've been good. I do however think the that Miyokichi got a bittersweet ending, since he was basically Ais second choice and is aware of that. |
