I watched the raw of this episode yesterday but I didn’t bother to make a post about it like I have with several of the other episodes in the past since I figured I’d hold off until a subtitled version was released. I guess if Noe ended up winning I’d have written a post to vent, but since Hiromi won out in the end, it’s all good.

I think they paced this episode quite well as they pretty much managed to tie up all of the loose ends. As much as I like Hiromi, I really liked Shinichirou’s final conversation with Noe. It may have taken him thirteen episodes to get here, but at least he was finally able to be honest with himself.

The first bit of the episode with Hiromi acting weird really bothered me even though I kind of figured that everything would work out in the end. However, there was that other side of me that was constantly concerned about a Noe end. I don’t know how I’d have dealt with a Noe end, it’d really depend on how it gets executed due to the less believable nature of that pairing.

true tears has definitely kept my attention throughout the whole season thanks to its awesome visuals, music, and its ridiculous cliffhanger endings. I have to question the usefulness of Aiko since she never really did anything of importance but that’s not really enough to detract me from enjoying the series. true tears probably didn’t really pull off anything new in terms of romantic drama shows but I think it should be commended for its execution and the way it kept you guessing about its ending.
