It would make sense in a different type of show with a more lighthearted and less serious feel to it to have Noe be the one. Characters have to match the show to make sense, otherwise it feels out of place. |

So does this mean Noe has to be another emo girl in order to end up with Shin? lol I don't think so. I don't think the writers want the show to be as emo (like Hiromi) as well or I wouldn't be here fascinated by this series. They made Noe to be this lovable character that brightens Shin's day--like an angel. I don't see anything wrong with the main character being able to "take off to the sky" and "seeing the sky in a different light" and having a happy ending with Noe. That would be so much better to see than him ending up with Hiromi. Unfortunately, seems like the girl with the most problems wins here, not to mention, Hiromi found him first haha The only thing that bothers me is that it looks like Noe's purpose will be an unrewarded thing since the apparent HiromixShin ending that's soooo obvious since ep. 1 still hasn't changed. Bummer ^_^ |

I guess I should add that I often find things like music can be emotionally effective when they play against what's going on in the show: ominous music behind a happy scene, or vice-versa. Simoun did that a lot. Whether this kind of effective contrast extends to entire characters, I'm not sure, but it could. I have a combination of hope and confidence that the writers will come up with a satisfying way of bringing this to a conclusion, whoever ends up with Shin. Hiromi is the most likely to, but I think there is at least the possibility that it could end another way. The writers could take the myths from the first episode and work them in a different direction. In any case, I think they can make the conclusion emotionally satisfying -- even if it isn't happy for all.

Again with the one sided views of Ai. Sure she treats Shin nice, but is the way she is treating Nobu nice? Also since we have only been shown her interactions around these two then you can't really say she is a nice caring girl all around. Out of the 2 people we have see her interact with I wouldn't say the way she deals with Nobu is all that sweet or caring.

Heh, Ai. -_- I'm glad she was rejected if it wasn't too obvious. It sucks for Miyokichi (sp) to deal with someone like her. She's so cold to him. I'm the one who's feeling bad here. I have no pity for Ai at all. She brought it on herself anyway, why the heck would she agree to be Miyokichi's girlfriend if she knew she wasn't about to give up loser Shin in the first place. I think Shin's mom has more screentime than her lol For a main character, she's so irrelevant.
But I guess this is what harem is all about. Too bad this kind of thing doesn't happen in real life haha |

Right, I've been bogged down with work the last couple days, sorry for the delay.

As for your moves: First Move: Double edged sword. What if she confesses and Shin get's even more distressed than he already was? Do you go with your feelings for someone or do you go with whats best for the one you love? That's the problem here. Do we even have any indication that she was ever given an oppurtunity to confess? I won't so easily dismiss this as a mistake. Second Move: Agreed a mistake, though I'd prefer to call it a series of misfortunous events. Third Move: Quite happily tells her? Really? "I'm going out with Noe now, I don't really know how it happened but... Oh and I was standing outside in the snow because I was really happy inside." (Yes the latter was not actually said) Don't put a super positive spin on things, especially in a show called True Tears. This move is alot like move one, can you really call it a mistake? Or would not have doing anything been a mistake? We can't just dismiss things as mistakes because they unfolded wrong, not doing anything (when the scenario has changed) would have been just as bad for her goal. Another underdog winning? When was the last one? Two years ago? We've had how many drama shows since then? You make it sound like it happens every day... What would be the point of saying underdog then? Quote:
Yes, his first kiss. Usually nose bleed goes more with turned on than a blush, so what is your exact point? A blush is usually used as a more innocent feeling, especially in these kinds of shows. Oh and about coming from his mouth. Following your logic, he also said he'd forget about it, but since he didn't I guess that makes Shin a liar. I, however, won't make that jump simply due to the fact that it is a reaction to the strange situation. If he said it, say a day or two later, I'd be more inclined to believe him. Quote:

Ai too considerate/self-sacrificing/stupid: - She keeps her feelings bottled up since Shin is 'taken' - We see that she has a hard time breaking up with Nobuse, even though she is unhappy but Nobuse is. - She helps Shin in ways that are not favorable to her. - She accepts to date the desperate(ly in love) Nobuse. (stupid) Quote:
Key word is appears. It would appear to me that while she is happy, Shin is still preoccupied. Everything about Noe and Shin's relationship is on surface value, thye enjoy each others company. Great. Though, unlike Hiromi and Shin, we are shown little of whos on whos mind. At the end of eight its quite noticeable that Hiromi and Shin are on each othersmind quite a bit. As for Ai? She had no such thing to begin with, she was trying to make one. Will it happen? Who knows, looks unlikely, but the development in that regard is still to little. Edit: Spoiler for Don't read if you haven't watched 9:

@Var - Hee hee I don't want to quote to avoid the epi 9 spoiler...
This is the whole thing about the whole Ai is too self sacrificing/considerate line of thought. Whatever her reasons for her not confessing before hand, if it was about self sacrifice then her latest move says to me that that isn't her type of personality. Her latest (as in epi 8) move says she didn't move until she got pushed because she got really desperate. Which says to me that a more likely scenario is that she was to shy/scared to do anything about her true feelings and accepting Nobu's feelings was her easy way out. Look about mistakes they are set in stone, unless we are watching Noein. She made a move, it happened. For all your wishing it can't change that she didn't confess and accepted Nobu's feelings instead. Hiromi won his heart (maybe triggered by the road scene?), and Noe was the person who was there for him after that. It doesn't matter if Shin has a sudden change of heart and decides to shag Ai and fall in love with her, she still made a mistake. Mistakes can be forgiven, they can be forgotten, but they can't be unmade unless you have a TARDIS. Quote:
What is the need to make out Ai to be so mature? She is only a child. Is it just to win the argument Ai is the best for Shin because she is the most mature? Quote:

permanentely bored

curious if people have discuss the meaning of the picture that hiromi burned before running away. the one where hiromi's mom has been cutoff and with the other half with shin's familly burned.
i m sure it could lead to an interresting discussion reguarding the change of attitude of shin's mom toward hiromi |
