true tears 02
Hiromi-centric episode, as she gets jealous when Shinichiro involvement with Isurugi Noe gets spread around the school. She approaches Shinichiro to ask him to introduce Noe to her, to become friends, but Noe takes the initiative and points out that Hiromi doesn’t like her.
Well, that was unexpected for a second episode, with the drama already starting. It seems that Hiromi isn’t as cold as she seems initially, and in fact, this episode hints of a past time where she was friends with Shinichiro and it seems she does harbour feelings for him, although what exactly it is, only time with tell now. Somehow, I’m really attracted to Hiromi the most now, in part mostly for her character design.
Noe herself is also pretty sharp and I’m really intrigued with her character now, with all the extraordinary things that she does, yet she seems to have a firm grip on herself and the world around her. I’m wondering who is it that she’s living with though. A brother? A relative? Seems like it’ll be revealed next week.
P.A. Works’ godly level of animation continues on, and their quality of animation already makes true tears a worthwhile watch just to get a feel of the quality. They really do pay a lot of attention to their work. I think the thing that catches my eye the most this episode is how dynamic Hiromi’s hair is animated, either free-flowing or tied in a single pigtail. While it might seem to be weird of me to notice that, but it’s the small details like this that are usually ignored the most, so I’m happy to say that this is surely a sign of P.A. Works’ dedication to quality.
true tears 01
Another harem/romance, this one with a more serious feel.
Protagonist is Shinichirō Nakagami, successor to the Nakagami household. He’s currently living together with Hiromi Yuasa, the daughter of his father’s best friend, who has died in an accident. Shinichiro has a crush on Hiromi, but finds it hard for him to approach her, made even more difficult by the fact that Hiromi still acts very reserved towards then, even after living together for a year already. Shinichiro also has artistic ambitions, but it seems to be opposed by his mother.
He meets at school later, Noe Isurugi, a rather cute but mysterious girl, who likes to climb trees and befriend chickens. Also, she supposedly can cast curses on someone, Shinichiro on the receiving end after teasing her. Well, somehow he gets involved with her, and even makes her a tissue box sculpture of a chicken, pleasing her enough to remove the “curse” from him.
So far, the show with the highest production value yet, with some really smooth animation going around, even having 3D for crowd scenes. I sure hope they’re managing the budget well enough on another hand. Nothing much to say about the story, it’s mostly introductions yet so far, but it seems promising enough, and if the second episode is good, I will pick this up for sure.
Other than that, awesome eufonius OP again, and what’s with the SD obsession this season, with the group SD marching thing for the ED that kinda makes me lol.
