Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 3: That Conversation You Had, How Did It Turn Out? ]

I really love this show. At this point this is leagues more enjoyable and well-written than H2O. The characters are overall more likable and believable. With this third episode this show has established itself as among the top best of the winter season. Seriously, true tears has it all in place so that it will grab your attention. The characters are all interesting and, at least for me, I haven’t found any of them annoying as of yet. There’s quite a bit going on in the story as well so early. There’s the conflict between Shinichiro and his mother about Hiromi, Noe obviously having an attachment to Shinichiro, Ai’s apparent feelings for Shinichiro, and Hiromi’s (apparent) lie about not liking Shinichiro but Noe’s brother and then running into him at the end of the episode. I thought that last scene was executed perfectly with the animation and soundtrack both still in full force since the first episode. I really want to see what happens next especially given that the preview suggests that some rather interesting stuff will be happening.

[ Episode 2: I... What do I want to do? ]

This episode really reinforces my liking for this show. It’s hard to describe everything that I like about it but the characters are a large part of the reason why. Then there’s also the animation that was still in tip-top shape this week. One interesting tidbit about the animation team is that most of them (if not all) are Chinese. The company is P. A. Works by the way. That’s just something I wanted to point out there.

This time around things are a bit more lively and I loved the scenes where Noe was greeting Shinichiro in public. It just goes to show you that she is a girl that isn’t easily embarrassed.

true tears -アニメ化決定！！

When I saw the trailer for this some time ago I instantly thought that this was going to be the winter show with the most potential to become something great. I still feel that way after seeing such a wonderful first episode. It goes without saying that the production-values are very high. Just watching the episode treats your eyes to pure eyecandy (the healthy kind) and the accompanying soundtrack was heaven to my ears. There is something about the tracks that I found quite comforting which doesn’t happen very often. I think that True Tears is that something I’ve been looking forward to ever since ef - a tale of memories ended and so I’ll definitely be blogging this (and hopefully on time as well).
