Make sure you use spoiler tags if your question is about the anime, game, manga, or any non-anime source. Untagged spoilers are risking a ban. There are two ways to create clearly marked spoiler tags, as shown in the following:

What means Reflectia? Can it be "Reflected Tears" as some people say?

[felix]

No mentioning fansub groups.

As far as I know it's the name of the opening single.

[Supah Em]

the show airs in sundays at 1:00am ( the heck, how many people would watch at that time anyway?)

and reflectia....wel.. is reflectia, its a new word which has no meaning and stands out on its own.

In the series, what was the main idea behind the plot's ending of True Tears? Was it love conquers all because the ending was really subtle to me in terms of the how happy the ending was. I didn't think the ending of Shinichiro and Hiromi finally accepting one another was that not that exciting. Maybe it's just me....

The "true" ending of this series was while the credits were rolling and you see Noe finally able to cry. She had bottled up her tears after her grandmother died, but it was thanks to Shinichirou that she was finally able to be set free, accept the sadness in her life, and move on. As for Shinichirou, thanks to Noe, he was finally able to come to terms with himself and his feelings, and to wipe Hiromi's tears as he had wanted to do since the beginning of the show.

I wouldn't say that it was what you'd think of as a "happy ending", and it certainly wasn't "true love conquers all" by any means. If anything, it was pointing out that sometimes love doesn't work out, but that pain can ultimately be the foundation for the future as long as you keep looking ahead. Basically, True Tears tells the story of how a single sudden encounter (Shinichirou and Noe) changed the course of everyone's lives forever.

When is true tears coming to US?

At the moment it's been put on "indefinite hold", because Bandai Visual USA is currently having their operations absorbed into Bandai Entertainment USA. Once that settles down, they'll probably look at it again. So for now, it's basically "wait and see".
