With a new season comes another (romance?) drama series that ultimately ends up being under my radar. This season is no different with the arrival of true tears. Let’s be honest with each other here now, you all knew I was going to end up blogging about this one. I mean, what genre could please me more than this one?

The first episode of true tears has been a pretty slow start. Besides giving us some simple introductions to the main characters, it really didn’t do much else. Nothing smelling of a premise is even hinted at so it’s all pretty vague at the moment. No matter, I am extremely patient with these shows anyway.

I will say that this first episode was certainly quite an eye-opener as the art was absolutely beautiful. I don’t know where they got this money from but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried over whether they can keep this up or not in the coming episodes. On the music front, both opening and ending themes were very nice and the opening’s animation was particularly impressive. The first bit of it with all the leaves was executed very nicely and the CG part around the end was pretty cool in my opinion. I haven’t really taken notice of the show’s score too much but the track they played near the beginning and end of the episode was quite good. I’m not familiar with the voice actors of this series at all but I’m pretty content with the casting decision thus far. Let’s just hope that all these great “asides” don’t go to waste with a mediocre story and/or a deteriorating production due to the budget being completely spent on this episode. ;)
