I like how Taiga's voice is a bit different from the other three.


I agree. I was expecting her voice to be just like Louise but I'm glad it's not. Gave me quite a surprise. I like it better. Makes Taiga unique.

Very good episode. I think this show will be promising.

Well, not a bad start, at least its sticking close to the manga so far. Also, I expected Inko to be funnier. . .

It was an alright episode even though i still find Taiga's character design look to similar to another well known character.


I also preferred the Manga version of Yasuko.

I think this will be like Hayate no Gotoku with some triangle.

I see absolutely no resemblance to HnG other than a tsundere female lead. And what triangle? HnG barely had any romance.

angel999 said:

LOL Ai saka aka Taiga is REALLY INTERESTING in personality...half romantic/half tomboyish.

Yeah... it's called tsundere.

angel999 said:
The school seems to know somethings about Ryuu and why he is scarier then he seems.

He's the son of a gangster not to mention he looks like him so he obviously gets people intimidated. He even mentioned it in the episode.

Overall, a good episode. I wanted to see the OP though. D:


I did not know exactly what was mean by Tsundere but as of now only cosplay made officially into the dictionary so thanks for the info.

I am just someone who find anime interesting.

Oh but there is a resemblance to HnG in terms comedy and settings are also somewhat familiar but I never said it was 100% similar just certain elements.

Even though Ryuu seems to be like you mentioned it is not his intention...did you not see that he returned the wallets to the lost and found?

Well the gg sub is out. It was good. A few things I would've worded differently but still a good sub.

Episode itself was great. I laughed a lot and Kugimiya Tsundere are awesome anyway. Taiga is cute, I'm looking forward to more.

I was thinking Toradora would be along the line of Shana or Zero no Tsukaima, but direction's actually much much better. Interesting start, veen if I can't find myself to like the characters yet.

This was really funny. A bit different than I expected, and really funny. The world doesn't need another Shana/Louise, but Aisaga is at least bearable.

Another violent tsundere. Jesus. I despised Louise and if Taiga doesn't calm down in the next few episodes, I'm dropping this.

Also, I really hope they don't keep overplaying the whole "Ryuuji is scary!" deal. The way the classmates had already begun to realize that he only looked scary is a positive sign on that note.

I never read the manga, but this anime has potential, if they do tone down the "Ryuuji is scary!" stuff. I seriously doubt they'll let Taiga calm down, given the popularity of psychotic "tsundere" these days.

It was slightly better then I imagined.
I don't really like how they made Midori look and Taigas eyes don't look right as well but that would be about everything negative I've found.

I still prefer the manga but I'll follow this with good excitement. :3

I rewatched it and understood what happened. She ran into the locker to hide when someone opened the door[hence the tables flying] but fell out and then tried to take back the letter. Thanks.

I had a big sigh when Aisaka (I almost typed Louise there) started calling Ryuuji a dog. Sound familiar at all? D: I hope it doesn't become too prominent in the series or it gets a bad score. Otherwise, I rather liked the rest of the episode. At least so far I like Ryuuji a lot better than I liked Saito.

Taiga called Ryuuji a dog also in the manga. If it wasn't for the seiyuu connection, there shouldn't be any familiarity. :)

Okay. I just got so tired of hearing Louise (sorry, I know you're a Louise fan, no offense meant here) that I just got a bad feeling when it was mentioned here too. So long as it isn't taken too far :)

Presumption is she snooped around or found something that has it written on it or might have used other means through people since she mentioned that Ryuuji might be just one of her dogs. I say we do not know about her background too well yet so we do not know all her resources.

On that note I saw the subs. I AM IMPRESSED. Very unique mix of elements and of course MOE Aisaka X Ryuuji and SCREW Kitamura cause GLASS BOY ain't good with Aisaka.

It started really great. Let's hope the budget's body can take it.

JC Staff is getting good at the tsundere business, making upgrades here and there.

Also, Rie's voice acting is better by the season. Mizore -> Miharu -> Taiga confirms it.

yeah man, fuck yeah toradora xD
great adaptation so far. i liked the animation, and J.C. staff seems like will suffice to make the amazingness of toradora flow smoothly.
small changes from the manga didn't bother me at all. i love this one.
too bad gg's subs are only 848 x 400... i was expecting some H264 1280 x 720 or something like that, but hell, the animation was nice.
the first part seemed so slow, and so heartful.... when aisaka enters... its just awesome transition xD
ryuugi's mom is hilarious as well, reminds me of sensei in nogizaka xD
ryuugi looks like he is more evil than in the manga, can't wait to see how J.C staff does some of the most hilarious scenes in the manga XD

i also loved how ryuugi got cut off by getting punched by the palmtop tiger xD
the comedy was awesome.
low tsundere kugirie voice was awesome, nice change from shana and louise ;D
bedroom scene with taiga and her bokken was also nice. the animation was nice
the food was nice
i love taiga... she is already so deredere and tsuntsun xD
the art is not as bad as it looked on the promo pics... it actually looks nice
i will have to conform with "urusai urusai" for now xD
lol @ food censor xD
ED is really nice
i am looking forward to the OP
next episode should be hilariously awesome if they follow the manga (which they look like they will do)

first anime that i have watched after reading some of the manga xD

coolness from gg :D

EDIT: minori was also really cute... nice design i must say
