True Tears: Episode 7
Rating: 8.5/10
Impressions:
The first half of this episode makes me kinda hate Noe. The second half shows her sweet side and makes me like her again. So it’s all good. The first half, however, does leave a big impression in me, as it tells me that Noe is either just really childish or extremely selfish—and both aren’t good traits. The way she accuses Hiromi and demands to know what’s not her business is quite irritating, so I’m certainly not hoping for her to end up with Shinichiro anymore. The latter half of the show shows her in quite a good light, though I still like Hiromi far better. Lastly there’s Ai, who’s made the boldest move so far, though I doubt she’ll get him in the end.
True Tears remains highly interesting as it’s easy to see that thing’s have been completely messed up now (and hopefully, not like School Days). As Shin says in the episode, there is a complex web of romantic feelings going around, and what’s more, Shin and Hiromi believe they may be related, Aiko is on the verge of breaking up with Nobuse and has stolen a kiss from Shin, and Shin himself has gone and asked Noe out when he’s not even sure of his own feelings. It basically means, there’s no telling what might happen from now, and since we’ve only just passed the halfway mark, I’m sure there’s going to be a lot more twists and surprises waiting.

I can’t understand why you don’t like Noe now. Confronting Hiromi who she had thought was the cause of shin’s desperation wasn’t such a bad thing to do. Shin wouldn’t tell her, so she tried to get to the bottom of the matter by asking Hiromi about it. I also agree that she could have done it better, by I don’t hate her or even like her less becuase of it.
Regarding the episode, it was great as usual. unlike you, I like all the possible pairing options, so when I watch True Tears, I just sit back and enjoy the ride
Only a Hiromi fan would find Noe annoying, especially in this episode.
I get the feeling there will be a “Nice boat” ending from time to time xD
My personal fav pairing so far is Hiromi+Shin, Ai just seems to far off and Noe is a tad to special imo.
I kind of agree with arcanes. Although it would be considered meddling, Noe only took action because she wanted to know. And of course, Hiromi and Shin won’t tell her so she got a little more childish than she really is.
It’s really hard to say who’s going to end up with Shin because I think all three girls have a chance. I’m not rooting for any girl in particular but I can see Noe as best fit for Shin.
Sure Hiromi’s probably the most well-rounded gal out there but I think she’s a little too reserved at times. Aiko’s aggressive and probably has the most honest feelings but her nature might make me dislike her a little more because she used Nobuse to get to Shin. She should have said no to Nobuse and confessed to Shin right away if she wanted things her way without hurting anyone. And Noe, who I think is the most important female character seeing how she wants to collect tears, hence the title, is the little innocent one who flinches at the feeling of love. Dang, I think she was at her cutest in this episode because she didn’t what it meant to be in love. A little strange but that’s her quirk.
That’s my take on the three girls, although I’m sure this analysis has already been established in these 7 episodes. I hope True Tears doesn’t end like School Days because all the sexing and killing destroyed the overall mood, making it darker than it should be. I still say Shin’s going to end with Noe, but wouldn’t surprised if Hiromi finally conjure up enough heart to get back into the race. Sorry Aiko, I’m afraid you’ll end the series heart-broken.
Edit on the last sentence of the third “paragraph.”
Dang, I think she was at her cutest in this episode because she didn’t [know] what it meant to be in love.
My bad…
This series is getting better and better by each episode. The cliffhanger at the end from Ai-chan was little bit surprising. The preview seems pretty interesting. Here are my theories/predictions. Tell me what you think, Danny:
1) Shin is going out with Noe right now and Hiromi is going out with Jun, but they will realize that they like each other and they will have happy ending. (This one I like XD)
2) Opposite to the first one, Shin is going out with Noe and start to like her more and more. While Hiromi comes to realize that she like Shin, but it’s too late. Shin can’t turn back to Hiromi since he now likes Noe (This one I don’t like T_T)
3) Shin and Hiromi realize that they like each other , but the truth about them being brother and sister prevent them to be together. So in the end, they both say that they like each other but go into different path. (Bitter sweet, but I don’t think this gonna happen).
4) Shin nails both Hiromi and Noe. Shin chooses Hiromi. Noe gets pissed and stab Shin many times and he died. Hiromi finds out. She has a duel with Noe. Hiromi kills Noe by slice Noe’s neck. Finally, Hiromi slice Noe’s stomach to see if Noe has a baby. LOL. Just kidding on this one XD
Ai is surely not cut for the finals, so it leaves Noe and Hiromi. And I can see a possible shinxnoe relationship rather than a shinxhiromi
Anyway. Noe is unbelievably cute in this episode(as well as the past episodes) but man *hugs*
I believe that Hiromi and Noe will found out about the thing with “asking out eachother” as a result Noe will be very sad and suffers that much that she plans to leave Shin (one girl down 2 to go).
Hiromi will be upset too, of course. But other than Noe she will get an explanation from Shin, that he really loves her but was desperate, because he thought that she isn’T interested in him.
And finally we have Ai-chan (favorite), girls like that are rare so why not cheer for her! ^^ However, looking at the current situation there is no way Ai-chan will be able to get together with Shin, moreover i think there friendship realtion will slowly fall apart.
Heavy burden for Shin to carry, this player. =D
!!! Ai-chan 4 eva !!!
now i’m thinking that noe is not going to end up with Shinichiro he doesnt like her he is just going out with her cause of the brother and i like noe in a way but way she was acting kinda turned me off. i have this feeling things is going to end bad
“Only a Hiromi fan would find Noe annoying, especially in this episode”
I laugh.
Only a Noe fan would find Noe not annoying, especially in this episode.
Noe is my favourite character! She is so likable! Though, something I don’t understand is why everyone loves shin so much?
