After playing through Rin's path, I can only quote Gandalf. “I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.”

But, my Lord, Rin's expression on that last scene (as she faces the camera on the hill top) made me cringe. I blame the art style.

Edited post. Sorry for being unclear.

But yeah, you're right. There is something in that take, either the somewhat goofy expression or the slow close-up, that makes the final shot very cringe-worthy. Fortunately i didn't notice it when i finished the route the first time because of the emotional and cerebral strenght of the scene combined with that unique feeling that comes with reading the end of a great story.

Eh, the goofy expression fits Rin. I didn't have any cringe issue, thankfully.

I really never cried during any of my exploits throughout KS, however, I had such an astounding amount of feels throughout the Rin story. As she talked about not understanding herself I just collapsed. The amount of oomf behind that kinda hurt. After Hisao entered the studio and I saw Rin under the skylight, that hit me where it hurts. I progressively got a stronger heartache throughout the story, and by the time I saw Rin collapse from the pressure at the exhibition, I almost sobbed. Later when the art teacher was yelling at her, I got weak in the knees, even though I was sitting down. That broke me, for sure, even though I didn't exhaust my moisture via my eyes.

I don't know why, but the scene where Hisao walks in on Rin taking a nap and she starts crying in her sleep really got me.

I do that

I don't have issues with the expression, but the art style came as a bit off-model to me. I get the same feeling when I saw the scene featuring Shizune and Misha in yutaka. The feeling of the scene is good, but the drawing made me cringe a little. Thankfully, the sprite drawings were good.

Eh, I can handle goofy faces. It can't be nearly as bad as Emi's various sex faces.

Yeah, like that.

The one scene that really got to me was in Rin's 4th actafter Rin got yelled at by Nomiya and Hisao comes in the room to comfort her.

Rin: People are doing things I don't ask for and don't want and everyone keeps getting angry at me, I have no idea what is going on any more and can't stop feeling like I want to run away from everything..

Rin: I have no idea what's wrong with me!

That, to me, was the most heart wrenching scene in Katawa Shoujo.
