This is Vince's Don't Give a Fu*k Review:
I say what i want when I want how I want so get over it. Let's be real you just want to know if this is a good read or not: It is.

This story really grabs at your feels and does a great job making you want everyone to have a happy ending. There was a great deal of character growth all around I felt and I wasn't dissatisfied with any character really. I laughed a lot in this manga and I won't lie i teared up here and there. In the end this is a very touching ... story of a lonely girl, a lonely boy and a lonely family separated feeling their voids and it touched my heart in all places. I'm hit the spoilers that hit my soul so to the van!

Spoilers GET TO THE VAN:

Ok so, Mao for me was a favorite character, I loved her personality and I loved the idea for her as a main character. I felt she fit the role well, I don't feel she was generic like a lot of girl characters in these types of works. Her relationship with Hiro was very interesting and it definitely built up as the story went on and it was something I enjoyed watching grow. Mao as a character going from a character that ran away from her problems to a girl who stood up and took them head on, you can't really ask for better character growth.

Hiro was a funny character, I felt he was a tad dense but he was a good character overall. I love his love for his family and wanting to bring them back together. That was one of the main feel trains that hit me especially when Hina agreed to come home.

Daiki was a very great character. He was very funny and for a short time I found myself rooting for him to get with Mao. This writer did a great job in the love triangle for the middle of the story. I wasn't too fond of it being these two, being Hiro and Daiki but it sure added tension.

Hina was a character I wish I got to see more of but her being the last to come home didn't give her much time to have spotlight sadly.

Chihiro and Oda were another HUGE feel train. I was actually more into them than I was Hiro and Mao for a good while in the manga. I was super happy when they got together. Their characters themselves were great characters as well. But the only problem I had was I wish I got to see more of them. Double date that shit bro.

Mao's dad, obviously he suppose to be hated but this guy did a complete 180 and you gotta give him some credit man. That was the final straw for me and I knew I was gonna need some tissues and some feel train passes for the next few days. He went from dead beat to actual father and thats something anyone in Mao's position can pray for.

I did call out Mao was Sotomi who was Kyuukai and I did know he was going to read her book in like chapter 3 it was obvious but obvious isn't bad at all. Sometimes it adds more tension and I didn't see many flaws in this writing nor did I see much problems if anything I learned more about writing and storytelling reading this story.

Overall, I can't fu*king wait for this to be an anime. That is all

I don't disrespect anyone who had a different opinion. We all have our genres, and the titles we love. I don't have a degree in English or Literature nor do I have any published work. I'm just a guy that likes anime who just wants to speak his mind. I hoped this helped

This is Vince's Don't Give a Fu*k Reivew:
I'm gonna say whatever I want regardless if you like it or not. Let's be real you mainly want to know is this worth watching or not: I'm indifferent

"What? That's so mixed signaled Vince!" Here let me explain. I was told this anime was the best, it changed views on life, they saw Jesus etc. Clannad sucked as an anime. How and why its rated 8+ is a fu*king miracle. This anime was actually a game before it was an anime so it began to make sense but you can't use that as a handicap. It's an anime ... now which means I'm going to tare into it like it's an anime. People rate this show so high because it gets you to feel sorry for people. The problem is, is what if you don't care? Get the picture? This is why i stand indifferent. If you are a caring person who lives in Rainbow Land and when people have sad rain clouds you go and fix them, you'll LOVE this anime. If you are someone who digs deep into story writing and character please do not waste your time with this show. I'm going to go into depth right now about the character arcs and why this show was considered bad in my eyes... how the fu*k did this get a second second and that get a 9 rating >_>

SPOILERS GET TO THE VAN:

So first off, we have Okazaki..The delinquent. I'm confused about his character, he's a delinquent to others, and he states multiple times he's a delinquent but does not act like one. All he does is play harmless pranks on people, which quite entertaining, and has a dad that abuses alcohol. That's not a delinquent. I lived that life in high school too except my step dad was a douchebag. Am I now a delinquent? Unless my definition is misread we have a lame character. When I think delinquent I think Yamada from Yamada kun and the Seven Witches, not Okazaki.

Which brings me to the "conflict" of the story if you can call it that. Nagisa wanting to open up a drama club. Mr. Delinquent feels sorry for her and helps her. Why? <-- this question you will see a lot from me. Okazaki shouldn't give a flying shit about some random ass chick, but he does and now we start into the first character arc:

Fuuko (ep. 4-9): Fuuko is a ghost? a freshman ghost? So she's like Casper the friendly ghost at high school? The reason I'm asking these questions like this cause no one knows what the fu*k she is. All you know is that she's in a coma and everyone can see her but her sister and apparently if you forget about her you no longer can see her. Though my problem with this is her sister sure in hell hasn't forgotten about her, so what are these qualifications you need to see Fuuko? Then at the last moment of her sister's wedding, her sister can see her. All this was, was a cute cinderella ending for the view. I saw right through it and called bullshit. My main issue with Fuuko is this: she's suppose to be a high school student, but this bitch doesn't know the fu*king difference between first and third person?? That is literally my worse pet peeve on this Earth. Mainly though, why is this arc important to the story? It's not. At all.

Second character arc: Kotomi (ep 10-15) : So apparently Kotomi is this genius that doesn't have to go to classes cause she's so brilliantly smart. This bitch doesn't even know how to introduce herself to someone properly. Genius my ass.. So this arc starts off like Okazaki goes to her and is like "oh you're depressed. I feel like helping you" which brings us back to "WHY does Okazaki care?" and "WHY does this help our story?" Well of course this is like Yuuko, where they want to pull your emotions across the board. How do we do that? Sad story and then connect it to the main character. -Parents dead, OMG Okazaki and Kotomi knew each other when they were kids- like ... that's the best you could come up with... So now we're using a coincidentally wtf. What's next? Are we going to talk about another girl that has a problem that relates to Okazaki?
...
Spoke to soon.

Third Character Arc : Tomoyo (ep. 17-19) Her story isn't sad at all. Her parents want to get a divorce and her brother over reacted. I feel it was the writer trying to use this girl to state "I have a bad home life at one time too with my family just like you" when its nothing alike. Again. Why do we CARE. This did help the storyline a little indeed but no one cares about what happened to her, we just care if the theater club gets started up, you know that thing that was in the first line that we have yet to really go over in this show.

Finally the realization that he likes Nagisa. I don't know why everyone is so sad. I mean the viewers not the characters. Nagisa was the first girl in the show and by anime rules in a harem (at least that i can tell) first girl wins. That may be wrong, but it ain't in this anime so prove me wrong o/

I felt that a tennis ball flying at her.. and hitting her, was very like "really?" like it couldn't be like Okazaki jumped in front of a car to save her or something a little more heroic? Like that's lame.

The one thing they did well though was end the love story on a good note. They made a decision on who wins, had the confession nicely done and that's something I won't take away from them.

In all, this anime was just bad. I only watched it because I was told it was so amazing and it's not. Sunohara and Kyou were the only thing keeping this anime from being shit with their comedic ways. This anime is for the people who played their game, not for people who like literary views.

I show no disrespect to anyone who had an opposite view of me in this anime. We all have our genres and titles we love and I'm just a guy that likes anime. I have no degree in English nor do I have any work published. I just speak my mind. Take it as serious as you like, in the end my opinion is mine o/

Hope you enjoyed~

This is Vince's Don't Give a Fu*k Review:
I'm gonna say what I want regardless if its right in your eyes or not. Choose to agree or disagree. Let's be real you want to know if this anime is worth seeing or not: It is:

Erased:

So this anime took roughly two episodes to get me hooked. That hook being Hinazuki, Kayo. So the main guy, Fujinuma Satoru gets put in a "anime situation" or a situation that will only happen in anime where he gets thrown back in time. His objective I'll save for later. But this in whole, is why i rate this anime high. Kayo ... and Satoru will be the main strength along with mystery. Buckle your seat and get to the van we're hitting the spoilers


SPOILERS: GET TO THE VAN!


Alright so right off the back, Hinazuki Kayo is not okay. You can instantly tell there is some sort of maybe bullying, trauma and loneliness in her life. Satoru's job is to prevent her from being murdered. Satoru became this light source for Kayo and gave like a new chance at life. This all being represented when she sees him in the hospital (later in the anime)

What they executed very well in was grabbing your emotions with the abuse Kayo goes through at home and how Satoru becomes her hero pretty much. This is what makes the viewer love this show so much. Honestly, I don't give two shits about the other two kids that die, I just wanted Kayo to survive. They do a very good job in building this sort of romance or small love story between the two kids. I found it a beautiful little thing but I'm also a sucker for a love story. But don't let this paragraph fool you, there is a reason this wasn't rated a 10.

For whatever reason the writer decided to play with our emotions and not give us the ending we hoped for. Many others come to the same conclusion as mine when I say, WHY DID YOU END IT THIS WAY. No question mark... oh yeah I went there. Explanation coming up.

WHAT I HATED: (SPOILERS)

This ending was fu*king weak. After Satoru saves Kayo the anime literally takes a shit and becomes useless. No one gives a damn about these other two kids. The writer rushed Kayo's rescue. In my opinion, the last episode, Kayo should have taken the abuse, put in the shed and when murderer came along to kidnap her boom Satoru/mommy/CPS to the rescue just like they did to save her from her mom. You save Kayo from death, from her mom and Satoru gets his heroic moment and probs gets the girl along with changing the future gg rip. What makes me go nuts is when I can write a better ending (opinionated of course)

The teacher being the killer was.. kinda disappointing. It was becoming quite obvious it was him after accidentally pausing in the opening....... He shares a picture with Kayo's mother in the opening and since Kayo's mom is the only Antagonist in the 1988 arc pretty much i put it together. If I'm wrong then that was just a lucky fu*king guess.

I hated that Satoru was able to go back to the past on demand near episode like 8 but couldn't go back to the past on demand afterwards to just be able to call the teacher out on his shit to give him his 15 years back. I found that kinda lame that the writer basically made him a martyr.

Finally the main thing I hated other than the ending... THE CARRY: Airi Katagiri. When I review characters in my head, the first things I ask are "Why are you relevant and why do I care?" I could not find an answer for this. All she was, was someone in Satoru's future that helped him not get caught by the cops even tho the bitch failed at doing that. That's it. That's all she's good for and then to have him meet up with her at the ending as the "Coincidence of fate that they meet again" .. -.- stupid shit. SatoruxKayo stop putting holes in my ship, Canon.

Final words, Please note I don't have any type of literary degree or any type of work published. I'm just a guy who loves anime. I don't disrespect anyone who disliked this anime or who is a fellow fans of this anime. Though there were a lot of bad, I'd definitely watch this anime again JUST for the Kayo and Satoru moments. You see a lot of growth between those two because of those two and I found that very interesting and worthwhile. It put me on the Feel Train for a while man. I felt the ending could have been executed better but hey there's a reason I'm just a viewer and not a publisher author right?

Hope it helped~

This is Vince's Don't Give a Fu*k Review:
Basically I say how I feel regardless if you agree or not so buckle down for this shit. I will be spoiling and I'll let you know when that big jump happens
Let's make this quick because it's simple you just want to know if it's worth watching or not: It's not:

True Tears:
First impression: love triangle probably gonna be guy wanting Girl A until he realizes Girl B is better for him even when Girl A wants him. I was instantly drawn to Aiko honestly, I always seem to cheer the childhood friend without meaning too. Noe something about ... her caught my attention later on. What it is, is a great question. As for Hiromi I DONT GIVE A FU*KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK She's what I call a carry. As a fan of love stories, this was very disappointing. The True Tears was what I had because I was so disappointed.

SPOILER INCOMING: GET TO THE VAN!


Alright check this out so we got the main bro: Shinichiro - personally i think he's a bit generic and that's not bad at all. Simple is nice. I'm not a fan of my main characters standing to far out. But basically our bro is stuck in a pickle where he can't have the girl he wants. In this struggle we see three girls:

Girl A: Hiromi [Carry] : So Hiromi in the beginning I understand why she doesn't go for Shinichiro, it makes sense. The problem I had with Hiromi is that SHE'S SUPPOSE TO WIN and that's why we don't want her to win. In love stories its all about the underdog coming through to win. Hiromi just wasn't a good candidate from the beginning, she was set up to lose yet pulls off with a W? shit is weak.

Girl B: Aiko [Carry] : I thought Aiko was a good match for Shinichiro but after finding out she's with his best friend, I didn't have much to say about her. If you wanted to date Shinichiro and not his best friend...WHY YOU AGREE? The lesson with her is nut up or shut up. By the time she realized that it was WAY to late and after her moment she's gone, she is absolutely irrelevant. I honestly have no idea why she's on the cover.

Girl C: Noe [EndGame] : So Noe, obviously a little different, but she does something that I notice that none of the other girls do. She challenges Shinichiro to look at life a different way. She pushes him and inspires him to continue his work. She was clearly the way to go, yet the writer felt it was not the way to go. I honestly think that decision to go with Hiromi instead of Noe killed his work. Shredded in the shedder. Noe was the end game. To see her get the L in this anime was quite painful.


THINGS I HATED: (Spoilers)

Noe's brother.... REALLY? c'mon dude she's your sister...

Tears were used a lot in this story and I got nothing from it... It may be that I'm not intelligent enough to grasp it, that the tears meant nothing, or it was never actually stated what the tears meant. Why is this anime called True Tears? Noe doesn't cry. Was it suppose to be Shinichiro's tears? I feel if you are going to make a story about something, you gotta make it somewhat clear to the dumbs what the hell you're talking about.

I felt this was a poorly executed anime. I wasted my time in this. I don't disrespect the people who liked this anime. We all have our genre and our types of love stories. This one wasn't mine. I just felt it was weakly done. Please note that I don't have a degree in any type of literary work nor have I ever published any work. I'm just a guy that likes anime and wanted to share what I've felt. Don't take my review seriously. I hope you enjoyed my review and I'm running out of anime! Give me something to watch!

Some terms used:
EndGame: A character that is suppose to make it to the end and farther with the main character - basically the character you ship.

Carry: A character that you ask yourself "Why are you here". This character is normally always causing problems or is the problem. In most cases it will always be the character opposite of the one you ship.
