Yes, I am as surprised…

I find myself in a depressive lag for anime as of late… okay, for a long while now. I’ve been back logging show, watching anime in the weekends instead of as soon as it comes out and I have not actually checked out every show of the new season. I seemingly grew less attached to anime last season. I would like to call this Gurren Lagann syndrome, where everything else in comparison looks nowhere as interesting. I think I only needed the season as a breather though and I have been catching up frantically with Minami Ke (which as soon as I started watching I couldn’t stop), Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and a few others. Of the shows I have picked up for the new season, True Tears has come out and socker punched me with awesomeness. And this week, it raised the damn bar!

Back to actually blogging is kinda disorienting…

This is a whole new feeling. One feels giddy and a little more relaxed (mentally) when watching anime romance shows or at least those are the experiences I get. True Tears however brought about a whole different dynamic. It took me a month to work out why the mood I had watching the show was familiar. It hit me that this was about the same way I felt when watching a drama. And from the revelations we got this week, I would believe it was ‘Korean’.

Yes… She actually is his sister…

I knew it was coming. You knew it was coming. Even those deluding themselves from the truth knew this was coming. But that sure didn’t stop the reveal from being as surprising and as intense as it was. The only way this could be more of a Korean Drama is if the reveal happened after Shinichiro scored some off Hiromi beforehand. And yes, desensitization has made me think that would be funny, not extremely unholy.

The depression really sinks in on realising that he could be losing Ai-Chan

Although the whole Hiromi-Shinichiro-Noe thing takes the emphasis on the show, I am indeed more interested in what is happening with Shinichiro-Aiko-Miyokichi. I feel really sorry for Miyokichi, truly. It felt harsh for him to see that Aiko is actually in love with Shinichiro. Although, I myself wanted Aiko with Shinichiro, I wasn’t prepared for how heartbreaking it would be for Miyokichi.

At the moment, my list of preferred pairing for Shinichiro seems to be: Aiko, Hiromi, Noe in that order. Yeah, you read that right.

I saw the episode and was blown away with how well this got me interested, and I wanted to rant so was reborn this post. I would like to say I will try to get back to blogging but I don’t want more empty promises to clutter this blog. =P
