True Tears is a Japanese
anime television series produced by
P.A.Works and directed by
Junji Nishimura. The anime aired in Japan on the
TV Kanagawa television network between January 6, 2008 and March 30, 2008, containing thirteen episodes. The anime shares almost nothing in common with the
visual novel of the same name that preceded it, using an entirely different story with different characters, and a different art style. An
Internet radio show hosted by three
voice actresses from the anime was also produced to promote the anime. The anime has been released by
Bandai Entertainment in an English subtitle-only box set. A Blu-ray box set released in Japan contained an extra three-minute epilogue.
