True Tears - Videos

The realistic high school setting of Myself; Yourself and True Tears emphasizes with the main characters facing many trials and tribulations trying to find the path that fits them the best and become the person that they wanted to be.

What those two share in common is the girl who has deep emotional problems and boy who loves her and tries to help. Both anime are set in high school within group of good childhood friends.

Both True Tears and Myself; Yourself are romantic dramas (at their core) that prominently feature a childhood friend who is now cold to the male lead as a result of circumstances.  However, Myself; Yourself does not generate its drama with a love triangle, unlike True Tears.  Its drama is less relationship-driven and more plot-driven.  Also, Myself; Yourself has elements of a romantic comedy and sports a fair amount of fanservice towards the beginning of the show.

These two shows share a very similar visual style and when you boil the plots down to their core, they are very similar.

However, thats not why i'd recommend them.  What I really like is that both shows have a male lead with multiple possible relationships, but there is never one that feels totally impossible.

White Album's number of possible suitors is a bit overboard (5 at my last count), all of them seem very possible.  Depending on the episode, you may find yourself rooting for someone completely different.

That's what makes me recommend it.  As the main character's emotions flip flop back and forth, so do mine.  That aspect really grabbed me and hooked me for both shows, and thats why'd i'd recommend them.

The relationship between thoes two films are not totaly clear, but i beleve that many will see ti like me. The feeling is in many sencies quite close. They are both intime relation dramas between people that really loves each other, and shuld just let thiers harts come loose... Easy sad but far from easy...

Both are good animated, but True Tears loocks just amazing. The animators here has really played with strong pastells and made a truly beautifull, but still realistic world. White Abum on the other han has a more realistic look - probably more sutible for that type almost melodrama. 

Well we could start with the usual love polygon, except that both of these have a male protagonist that lives close by the female protagonist.  Though True Tears may not be a heavy Rom/Com such as ToraDora, there are similarity in the dialogue and character interactions.

True Tears and Toradora! are both adorable with very individual characters, along with a wonderful deeper meaning.
