Also all this talk about ED and OP and credit listing clues, the biggest clue of them all is far simpler. Hiromi wins in character design and overall because she is the only girl with long hair. In such a beautifully animated show she is given the extra treatment. The way her hair fell to the side when she apologized to Shin about asking him to talk to Noe, the way it gets animated so vividly and moving whenever she plays basketball, how it flew in the wind while on the beach. Its almost like a secondary character that makes Hiromi just stand out and seem more animated.

Nah, that's not what the term trainwreck is trying to describe. What you just described is a literal trainwreck, which is not how it's supposed to be used.
It's from the saying "It's like a trainwreck - it's so horrible/tragic/painful yet I can't stop looking." Horrible not used to describe the quality of what you're watching, but rather the gravity of the situation. Episode 4 of H20 was just plain bad(at least they got it out of the way early). The whole situation with Shin/Hiromi and Shin/Nobuse/Aiko can be described as an emotional trainwreck - it's painfully tragic but you keep watching.
