So I assume that this show will never be judged on its own merits and will forever live in the comparative shadow of its predecessor?
Thank god I didn't like True Tears, so I can at least try and watch it with fewer biases. Helps me remember that this show isn't True Tears and isn't trying to be that show or any of it's characters (for better or for worse, YMMV). I still say that all the analysis and criticism of the show with True Tears as a template for most of them feels hollow and unfair.
