I present to you an edited conversation I had with Jacky from a couple of days ago.

Hiromi Yuasa: No wonder this show looks good.
Jacky: http://truetears.jp/ ok la
Hiromi Yuasa: ^lol, the official site’s first pic is pos
Hiromi Yuasa: I will NOT argue with you for that. In fact, I will AGREE.
Jacky: lol kk

The picture on the official website at the time looked like this…

…I suppose calling it a “piece of shit” is a little harsh, but when you compare it with stuff from the actual show, it really pales in comparison. Thankfully, they had the sense to change it about recently…

…ah, that’s looking much better. Now all I need is for them to release wallpapers for download or something. They probably won’t fit though, unfortunately, since my resolution of 1920×1200 is pretty high. ;)

This episode was another visually impressive episode. I don’t know how they do it, but holy cow. Episodes three and four is usually when they break, so let’s all just sit tight and see what happens when those episodes goes on the air. Now please note that while everything looked nice and all, there were some disturbing shots in this episode. I mean, how can anyone forget this one from the last scene of this episode?

Doesn’t that just creep you out? It sure creeps me out anyway, I mean, I’m a Hiromi fan and all, but woah! I just hope that this isn’t supposed to foreshadow the docking of any “nice boats”. It’s still early but I’m already kind of torn here. You all know I love sad endings but on the other hand, I think I might soften up to an ending with the pairing of my liking (Shinichirou and Hiromi of course, oh I had such a fuzzy feeling inside when their hands collided). Sad endings are great and all but I’m not sure if I want a “brutal ending” per se.

Anyway, unlike the slow and mellow start we had in the first episode, it seems that this second episode has already sent the plot moving along. I’m not sure what to make of the whole “tears” business since it’s all kind of mystical and surreal but the show itself doesn’t really give me the feeling of there being any “magical properties” like the stuff Key does. Oh well, we’ll all find out in due time.
