The chef should have known not to yell at his trainee like that and Minko should have been happy that someone stood up for her, let alone a stranger who you wanted to die. Like it or not, Ohana or her uncle will prob inherit the place so it's still "her business".

my theory on Ko is: the whole series will be Ohana's character getting developed and attaining that level of maturity she needs to properly respond to him. it goes along with my "one destination, many detours" theory of the relationship development in this show.

Just like D-Gold, i didn't know anything about this anime before watching it.
And I just couldn't help myself but to watch episode 1 twice. I usually don't like anime which deals with "ordinary" life (having a mother like that isn't really ordinary...) but this one... Man, THIS ONE ! All the characters are just too good. The chara-design, their introduction, the way they interact with each others... And still, it was just the first episode. I'm reaaaaally please and looking for the next one ! |

I'm asking myself "What excitement?"The show didn't really have great dvd sales and all the critical acclaim I've heard has been for the animation/direction rather than the script,maybe I've missed something. But speaking of True Tears,I'm surprised the grandma here is getting so much hate across all the messages I've read on forums,I don't remember the mom in true tears getting so much hate over how she treated Hiromi.

There are anime with interesting stories and all of the good stuff selling less than low-quality fanservice anime. Because the Mom was younger? And she wasn't as violent (I think).

But to me "excitment" =/= Quality of the anime either,I love true tears,I've watched it 3 times but it seems to me there wasn't that much excitment around it.

Above poster might want to put that in a spoiler.
Regarding excitement/popularity of True Tears, if I remember reading an article on Sankaku (lol Sankaku, I know I take these guys with a grain of salt but they are rather good for entertainment purposes) that True Tears was ranked #3 or something for the best anime of 2008 based on a poll in 2chan. DVDs sold like dog turd though, think it was something like 2.5k which is probably barely breaking even considering the production quality. |

Heck, Hanasaku Iroha's first episode covered more ground than the entirety of Angel Beats. I'm extremely glad that P.A. Works decided to go back to their roots of animating original slice of series. However, I can't fully criticize P.A. for doing such a thing as animation companies need money from time to time. Perhaps they could knab another "Key" series as their next cash cow title since KyoAni seems to be more than content riding the FOTM Moe train since Clannad AS ended. Planetarian and Little Buster I'm looking at you. Regardless, I still thought Angel Beats was okay, and still better than the equivalent K-on Season 2 that was airing at the same time. I just found it hilarious that Angel Beats had better music and concert scenes than the music that was "supposed" to be a music anime. Last edited by Pocari_Sweat; 2011-04-03 at 21:42. |

Anyway, I'm referring more to industry excitement than fan response. Producers took notice, and it opened up many work opportunities for Okada, particularly in the way of original scripts. For instance, Kannagi director Yamakan spoke of how impressive True Tears was, and by golly, he selected Okada for Fractale (P.A. Works would sign her on again for CANAAN and Hanasaku Iroha, while Aniplex pitched Anohana). This flood of work typically happens when a director, writer, seiyuu, or studio puts out something that really catches people's attention (via sales performance, interesting hooks, merchandising success, fan acclaim). Suddenly, everyone wants to capitalize on that potential and produce their own winner from it. |

I also remember reading up on an Anime blog (it was either blogsuki or star crossed) that during Jun Maeda's interview regarding Angel Beats, how he was impressed with True Tears and was part of the reason why he wanted to write for P.A. Works. |
