Hakkai said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, first episode just aired, it wasn't bad but i prefer the manga. Also, urusai, urusai! ...lol "i love the manga better" I swear the header should say "DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA" ...would tone down on the post whoring. Anyways, Taiga is ftfw. And who gives a fk about the manga... its a slice of life comedy. Dont expect a deep psychological thriller out of this series. Taiga looks a little like Chiaki but obviously more agressive. And the plot feels a little Love Com ish. But overall i like it :) Spools said: cereal said: I'm still confused as to how Aisaka got Ryuuji's cellphone number. I was a bit curious about this as well. Its not THAT hard, just think outside the box a little: Method 1: -Taiga is friends with Minori -Minori is good friends with Yuuske -Yuuske is best friends with Ryuuji So my assumption was that Taiga got the phone number from Minori, but if she didnt know it she either asked or gave Yuuske's number and Yuuske probably gave her the number. Method 2: Also she dropped the love letter in to Ryuuji's bag on accident. She couldve been snoopin and found his cellphone . Method 3: After she broke in, she could've snooped around the house Method 4 (most likely method): Maybe after Ryuuji made that promise to Taiga they swapped numbers. It wasnt on camera but thats probably the most reasonable answer. Also, she already knows where he lives, considering how close they live to gether. ...yes think outside the box ;) |

  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| LOL the first episode was very funny and it was alot easier to understand than the first couple of manga chapters. |
| Damn that was fun, boku and urusai, and the animation was sweet. Hope it keeps up. |
 |
| Kugimiya Rie + Horie Yui = enough reason for me to love a show. |
| The anime looks interesting and the first episode was very funny. |
| Very good first episode. It didn't dissapoint me at all, and I liked the fact that Taiga sounded different than Shana, Louise and Nagi. the animation was nice and smooth, and the art was good. Looks really promising, and defenetly waiting to see more of this. |
| ahh crap more Kugimiya Rie >.<. I didn't know Taiga's VA was Kugimiya Rie till I started watching the episode lol. I love Kugimiya Rie as much as the next guy but after finishing Zero no Tsukaima ~Princesses no Rondo~ I cant get that shitty fail fest feeling out of my head every time I hear her voice say dog. That series was horrible but hopefully this one will be amazing and fill my original expectations. |

| Yeah, Toradora really so god damn great. Kugimiya Rie is as awesome as always. Main guy seems ok too. Taiga is so cute ;). I knew all along that this will be an awesome anime and I'm really satisfied so far. Let's just hope that pace will keep up, and we won't have to watch too many fillers. |
     |
| This is the first series I've checked out this season, and I already know it's going to be the best (of the original ones, some sequels may surpass it... but even that will be tough!). |
| Omg, I thought the bird was saying "Kill meeee Kill meeeee". |
 |
skyenix said: Omg, I thought the bird was saying "Kill meeee Kill meeeee". Lol, That's really creepy ;). But with his looks I wouldn't be really surprised if he would actually saying that. |
|
| its a good start, i liked how she forgot to put letter in the envelope. lol at him begging to clean her house and shes asleep. |
 |
| I actually found the first episode rather funny, didn't expect anything from this show but it had some nice twists which made it a lot more interesting. I have high expectations for the next episode. |
| [fancy signature here] |
| A pretty funny start. I'm looking forward to this. |
 |
| From someone who has never read the novel or manga, it's an interesting start. The dialogue at the start of the episode and the pace of the events kind of foreshadowed what was going to happen, but it's not as if we didn't know already. :) Probably I won't be watching the rest of the episodes, though, this was just to get a quick first impression of the series. |
Anime-Destiny said: Not a bad start for the first episode of Toradora. I also enjoy the ending theme song as well. :) I SECOND the ending theme song and I even KARAOKE IT! :P |
| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| Lol that was fun to watch. Look forward to more :D |

| This will easily be enough to cover my tsundere needs for this fall. Even though the first part was dull, it became pretty interesting after Chiaki Taiga came. The main guy is pretty funny, but I can say that I didn't like his seiyuu. Oh, and, any anime containing our beloved tsundere queen Kugimiya Rie and Hocchan is pure win. |

|
| Well, ignoring Shana and ZnT like the plague (or Taiga's sink), this would mean Toradora is my first anime with the Rie + Tsundere combo. Pleasantly surprised with the first episode. Production wise, it was nice, and I got quite a few laughs as well. Taiga is cute. Everyone's said it, but I want to say it too. xD Definitely going to keep an eye on this. Probably going to be a good anime for pure entertainment. |

| Good first episode! - good animation, characters and good comedy and after watching it - simular to Zero no Tsukaima, lol! But lookinf forward to the rest of the season |

I will correct that...CHIAKI VIBES MINUS THE IMMATURITY. I find Aisaka more mature than Chiaki a little but not much. |

| Loved every second of it, somehow it makes me remember school rumble :P |
 |
| It's a good first episode. I hope the ones that follow will be even better. I lost some respect for JC Staff after ZnT3, but maybe this one will more than make up for it. |
 |
| What a great episode. Everything was top notch, the animation was great, the characters are great. I really like Ryuuji facial expression. They are done really well. I can't wait for the next episode, it looks like I will enjoy this new anime season after all. |
 |
| Now that was way better than I thought it would be. Also, Rie is not using the usual tsundere voice for Taiga, so props to her! XD This show has my interest, will definitely continue watching. |
| Woot, Fall Season starting :3 Toradora seems a pretty good series, I enjoyed the first episode and it got my expectations high, so I hope it will live up to it =) |
 |
| i thought it was a good first episode, with enough to keep me interested and keep watching the series |
 |
| "Oh, I see. Palmtop Ti-" This whole episode was hilarious. I really have high expectations; hopefully this won't go the direction Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu went (EDIT to clarify: I mean loose its originality & funness). Taiga looks like she'll be much more enjoyable to watch tsundere-ing than Shana (who was just annoying, I still haven't been able to finish that series). The ED was pretty good, it might just grow on me. I'll have to watch it the next couple of episodes [/usually skips OPs and EDs]. I wonder if the OP will be any good. Animation & character rendering were high quality IMO. Richard_Omega said: Please, his mom is far better than either of those two whores from NHnH. Just watching one episode shows that. With no foreknkowledge of the story, I'm getting the idea that she has a reason to be lying around drunk all day.ryuugi's mom is hilarious as well, reminds me of sensei in nogizaka xD Wasted_Life said: Happily, I enjoy both ^^Dont expect a deep psychological thriller out of this series. Now I have to wait for Hyakko subs. |
脱ぎません！_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .  |
| Interesting first episode. I just couldn't help but laugh at the visually censored sink. Looking forward to the next episode ! |
| Hm, I don't know but I didn't enjoy this episode much. Maybe it was the pacing, it felt too rushed in the beginning and then dragged out after her found the letter. At least fall season's started, my list was feeling a bit empty. |
 |
| amateurish direction, recycled jokes, and an all-around visual plainness...hope it gets funnier, or i may drop it |
| Much better than I expected o.O The girl looks alot like Louise from zero no tsukaima, only she doesn't have that annoying voice xD The animation seems pretty cool, and I like the drawing style in general, so I'm looking foward to see what's going to happen :D |
| There's no way this is the next Haruhi Suzumiya. It was decent at best. Hopefully the next episodes will be better. |
 |
| Better then expected and definatly worth watching. I think I'll continue to watch this. |
   |
| didn't have any idea what to expect but the show looks promising. when they showed his bird i just couldnt stop laughing at it. seriously what is up with that thing? |
 |

 |
| well, this is a promising start! can't wait till it gets up to speed.. and Taiga is already 10 times cooler than Shana ever was ^_^ |
  |
| Definitely looking forward to more episodes, JC staff has been pretty baller lately with their romcoms |
| Didn't know anything about it at first, and I must say it looks fun and entertaining. The characters already look good, and the animation is nice. I'll definitely continue to watch this :D |
 |
| This looks good. Animation is nice and it was funny ! Looking forward to the next episode <3 |
  |
| first episode was great, i will be continuing this for sure |
| more mature than ZnT and SnS. Has a more serious vibe in it despite the comedy. Now we know Jc.Staff + Rie doesn't necessarily equal the same voice. Thanks goodness, Louise/Shana/Nagi's voice is wearing me out. Good to hear a change after all that.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I like it , look good ,and looking forward to it |
 |
| The first episode is better than I anticipated. Rie's voice is not too high as she did other characters but it still show the tsundere's atmosphere around her. And Hoc-chan as Minori is a pure win. The ED song is good too which reminds me of how Hoc-chan did the ED for Nagasarete. Well I'm going to see how the series are going now. Hope it will be good as the first episode. |
