| I disappointed. That's really not what I hoped for. But I can't say the OVA was bad or something. Just that I hoped for some after story or more romantic, not some comedy filler. |
 |
| This OVA reminded why I placed Toradora! as my fave anime. I never expected it to be an OVA after story because I haven't seen something like that yet lol but I'd rather watch a comedy filler like this because these episodes are the reason why I love Toradora! so much :D NEED. TO. RE. WATCH. SERIES. HNGGGGG |

Kiev said: Well.. I'm not too sure what i should be saying here, watching this ova brings back memories of all the characters and indeed it was a sweet ending. It probably took place somewhere in between the episodes.. I was hoping to see some extra stuffs such as ryuuji and taiga's wedding or some sort, or maybe some extra side story to minori, ami or maybe kitamura. I really loved these characters. Although all that did not happen but still i liked this episode alot. Anybody noticed how minori frowned for a split second there when taiga was saying how she liked ryuuji's normal bento perfectly fine? It's nice to see minori showing her true hidden feelings once in awhile. I was gonna post pretty much exactly that ^^^. Both comments were pretty much exactly what I was going to type myself. I was expecting something else from it, but that doesn't mean that it was bad, it just wasn't what I was hoping for. That tiny little half-second frown that Minori makes at about 15:15 into the OVA was a good addition. Seems insignificant on the surface but a lot was said in those 0.5 secs :D |
 |
| my first thought when watching this OVA, "wew, I'm getting old" what a . . . . . damn I'm speechless this OVA just too perfect T__T especially that last scene 5/5 for this episode ^.^d |
 |
| its always refreshing seeing this anime again. i love toradora ^^ |
| not bad, but very disappointed ....i'd like to see something that takes place after the last ep, not something random bullshit...if i want that i can watch the series whenever i want... |

| great ova , it reminds me how much i loved toradora. I didn't expect it to be some kind of epilogue since i never seen one from an OVA. I guess the last scene took place after the series for me it's the epilogoe eventhoug it's short but it's nicely done. |
| It's funny when Ryuuji says he takes pride in being a housewife =D |
 |
| The purpose of cooking has been displayed/told excellently Merry Christmas all! :D |
| D'aww, this OVA was so cute. I missed Minorin and Taiga so much <3 |
 |
| i loved this ova i realy miss this anime |
| My sister flipped out when I texted her the Toradora OVA was out. I think she got home in record time. I saw it too, and was very pleased. |
 |
| I loved it as any Toradora episode, it was funny and all (could have been better if it was an epilogue or show us Taiga and Ryuuji's couple life) but I still want my Minori spin-off T___T God hear my prayers. I felt so bad when I saw Minori's face at the restaurant, it really shows that she liked Ryuuji since way back (and how she wished for him to make bentos for her). |
 |
| Didn't like the episode itself too much, but.. omg I missed Minorin so much. And sure enough she was awesome as always. "HEY HEY, Kitamura-MAN. Hayaku ikou yo MAN." |
     |
| kinda funny i watched this right after Ben-To episode 12 Man i missed this show especially Minorin~ Yo, man! <--- LOL overall a good episode but nothing substantial. Bring back the old (or less sucky) J.C. Staff please! 7/10 |

| Weirdly, I enjoyed it a lot, but it doesn't change it from being bad and disappointing. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| Big ROFL @ Inzaghi reference |
| disapointing OVA was disapointing |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| It wasn't bad but I expected something else, I'd hoped for more Taiga x Ryuuji but I guess it's my fault for expecting to much. Overall it was a good OVA. |
| damn, watching this reminded me of how much i miss this show i was kinda hoping for something more though :/ |
| i think the scene in the end where Taiga-tachi have a lunch together is when Taiga Ryuuji have a romance relationship... ? |
 |
| this scene and Minorin's "eyes" lol... |
| Stupid. |
tsuntsunrage said: Yes, it's after they kissed in the TV series. Everyone is teasing Taiga in regards to that. i think the scene in the end where Taiga-tachi have a lunch together is when Taiga Ryuuji have a romance relationship... ? Taiga is essentially a person that would never dare to do much in public on her own. You would have to kiss her to do that, she would never less there is no one or no one is watching. That being said Ami and Minori were teasing her for that reason precisely. They knew Ryuuji and her kissed. IMO. Did I detect Minori in the spoiler |

No, most of the scenes in this episode are essentially flashback that happened in between the series.

on Kiev said: They mished mashed the timeline? Really? I had more the impression it was right after the kiss but before the whole finalization of the transfer thus why Taiga had her uniform as to opposite of the black one.Yumekichi11 said: tsuntsunrage said: Yes, it's after they kissed in the TV series.

| Nothing interesting. |
| I miss Toradora so much, I forgot how much I loved it. I hope they make a second season and see more Lunch Box Wars. |

| It was a nice episode, I missed the characters. Minori scenes win. Yumekichi11 said: Yeah I think it's as Kiev said, because when the series finished they finished highschool, Taiga appears at the end of the graduation (last scene).Kiev said: They mished mashed the timeline?

People that say that it should have been an epilogue, and not a "filler", with an epilogue it would have been a "filler" either way, because there is none :P |

Perhaps another standalone OVA may be appear in the future for that. |
| Pretty much what I was expecting. Nice to see more Toradora after all this time. Awesome episode. |
 |
| Why was there so little screen time for the best female, Ami? The rice cooker part was great though. Wonder why he couldn't ask to cook it in the teacher's lounge or something... though it would still be ludicrous. |

| if this episode gives a lesson on lunch and food, it wont matter to me cuz i dont have any :p |
     |
| Ah, I missed this show. Nostalgia when I heard the OP! Ryuji trying to "beat" Okimura's grandma at cooking bento. He took it a little too seriously didnt he? The rice cooker in the middle of class went a little too far! xD He was only doing it for his own pride instead of making the person happy. The end was very cute when she fed him. I do wonder where in the timeline this OVA took place though. I'd really like to see a season two, but I don't think it'll ever come. =( |
 |
| waaaaaaaaaaaaa! i missed them!!! when i heard the opening song, waaaaaaaa! i got excited.. ;DDD i really love this anime.. :D seeing all of them made me really happy.. taiga made a lunch box? Saikou! 10/10 ! :DD |
| The message at the end was nice. |
ichigo03 said: Well, this fucking sucked!!! Now I see why it didn't make it to the original series. FUCK, I was so excited about this and we get a complete waste of time episode. FUCKING HORRIBLE! 0/10 Oh come on now, just because you did not like it, you didn't have to drag the whole score down. The ova yes indeed did not meet up to the expectations of a lot of people, but hey, what else could you expect from a story that has ended already? The novel's done, and the anime perfectly brought out what the novel has to offer and this ova itself is really a good complimentary piece of the anime. |
| I liked it. (: its obvious that it didnt make it to the original series for that. it's just a cute entertaining side-story. 8/10 for me |

FUCKING HORRIBLE! 0/10 What did you expect was going to happen in the ova that would excite you and make you love the series all of a sudden? You gave the anime series a 6/10 which means you didnt much care for it in the first place. Go ahead and inflate the scores of the anime you like all you want, but it's pathetic to cripple all the other series that didn't suite your taste so harshly. |
