* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The entire show is known for its fitting and beautiful soundtrack.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdCyu9tYlRM&feature=related Ichijin no Kaze]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHvnu0eczQw Noe's theme, which becomes really outstanding in the latter part of the track.]]
** The opening theme, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YlDQpHXZPk Reflectier]]'', by Euphonius.
%%* BrokenBase: Anime ending is a good drama having an actual message, or a forced drama, to evoke in the audience a reaction due to sadism towards their favorite heroine?
* DesignatedHero: Although it is possible that this was invoked for AuthorTract, not many fans perceived Hiromi as a good character, more considering her a jealous jerk that offended Noe even when she believed that they could not be together with Shinichiro.
* IdiotBall: [[spoiler: A dramatic LoveTriangle would never have happened if Hiromi immediately told Shinichirou that she was ignoring his feelings, because his mother said that they were brother and sister and subsequently Shinichirou could find out from his father that it was a lie.]]
* MemeticMutation:
** [[FanonDiscontinuity True Tears only has seven episodes.]]
** Again, this is the first work in the original script of Mari Okada, whose ending provoked anger among the fans.
* {{Narm}}: The constant talk about tears can come across as something very creepy.
* TheScrappy: One of the main complaints with the series is that Shinichirou, the protagonist, is too bland. And that his obsession with Hiromi's tears is cranked up to serial killer levels. Another prospect for future serial killer levels of creepiness is Jun, Noe's brother, who acts like an egoistic jerk throughout the entire series.
** Additionally, Hiromi is often hated for being slightly less interesting than the other girls on the show. Thus when [[spoiler: she got together with Shinichirou]], the resulting backlash bore out from the [[ShipToShipCombat Shipping Wars]].
*** In relation to the above hate against Hiromi, fans ''also'' despise her for her very [[BitchInSheepsClothing subtle]] {{Jerkass}} [[KickTheDog attitude]] towards [[TheWoobie Noe]]. Her selfishly telling Noe to ''go away'' and to leave her and Shinichiro alone because they reached an understanding ''while Noe was still in a relationship with Shinichiro'' was the boiling point of the fans', especially Noe's (and there are a lot of them), hatred towards Hiromi.
* TearJerker: Again, what did you expect?
* TheWoobie: Noe.
** StoicWoobie and/or JerkassWoobie: Depending [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation on]] [[DieForOurShip how]] [[{{Jerkass}} you]] [[TheStoic view]] [[TheScrappy Hiromi]], she's either one of these, or both of these since her life hasn't been easy for her at all regardless of her attitude and actions in the anime.
