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.
