I actually enjoy Toradora a lot more THAN expected. I think I'll stick with this series FOR a while.

You will also notice HOW this episode features such THINGS as:
- A bicycle
- Several BOXES
- Blood

Same here.

I like Kushieda from the beginning, but wow I wanna root for both now. Aisaka was hilarious with the ladder scene it made me lol inside.

I was a bit disappointed in the the scene of Kitamura talking to Aisaka. I was hoping that Kitamura was going to teach Aisaka how to properly ride a bike.

But overall, funny and awesome episode :3. Kushieda + Aisaka ftw.

Yeah but that scene was pretty cute considering Aisaka become sort of a "doll to marry" in front of Kitamura. That's one reason a put that pic of her.

MINORIN! I only woke up few hours ago, but this episode already made my day.

I can't describe how much of a win this anime is. Glad we're finally out of the "in the manga" talks and moving to new materials. Minorin is everything that I imagined her to be, only much better. And couldn't said it better than angel999~
angel999 said:
She's instantly Horie Yui's one of the best characters ever.

Before someone point it out, yeah Taiga's attitude towards Ryuuji is becoming like Louise to Saito. Except not out of jealousy - she basically tell Ryuuji "Hand off!" in a sense to protect the 'purity' of innocent and cheerful Minorin..... or hand off until Taiga's own relationship with Kitamura gets better. :P

I also noticed about Taiga getting a lot more physical - which is hilarious since it live up to her name "Te Nori Taiga". XD

Lots of grunts and yells from Kugyu, it's just win.

We finally got Ami in the next episode. Very much looking forward to it!

I dunno, maybe I'm just getting tired of Kugimiya Rei or I've seen one too many of these kind of scenarios, but this show is getting progressively worse since the first episode. I'm not saying this episode was necessarily bad, but I really didn't enjoy this episode all that much. There really wasn't much development of either Ryuuji or Taiga, imo.

Another great episode. I don't know where to begin, but Taiga moments definitely had me smiling today. The faces she me made in this episode are pure win. :D I liked how it showed why Ryujji is interested in his crush in the first place. I also liked Taiga's struggles that she deal with. All in all another great episode, and I can't wait for the next episode. Time for the waiting game yet again. :cry:

Eh, you are taking the chance of spoiling yourself if you come into a thread about an episode you have not seen yet. If you see something you did not want to know about, then it is your fault.

What are people supposed to discuss in here aside from things that happened in the episode, then? The very nature of the thread implies that people who come in here have already seen the episode lol.

This show rocks so much. Minorin is a freaking great character. So is Taiga. So is Ryuuji. Not Kitamura though... he's so boring he could pass for a brick wall. Don't know what Taiga sees in him.

I really enjoy Minori and Ryuuji's interactions with one another. Their chemistry is amazing when compared to Ryuuji and Taiga. Its almost as if they complement one another rather than one side dominating another.

Taiga started to become annoyiing like Louise in this episode. If this continues, I might just drop it even though I do enjoy of all of the other characters.

It was nice to see more of Kushieda's personality, it feels like there's going to be a sizeable part of the story focusing on her real troubles under that cheerful shell she keeps shielding herself with.

I couldn't help not to notice she's left-handed, but in a few frames of the opening she's shown right-handed.

She might be the rare type of being able to use both hands but maybe she is more used to her left hand.

About the episode, it wasn't anything special, but just some good ol' romcom. Kushieda's a great character too.

I don't know how I feel about Minorin, she feels a little bit boring despite her crazy behaviour. She only has one "mode": Energetic! Hopefully she has a horrible past as hinted by her trembling.

Then again maybe she just being overshadowed by Taiga.

So I just saw this scenario of being locked inside a dark room, and the super vivacious girl is (surprisingly?) scared of the dark in Kyou no go no ni yesterday. I'm gettin tired of Taiga, and appreciating whatever the lead's name is more as the episodes go by. Unengaging.

Not too bad of a episode, but I'm not sure where this series is going since the manga's plot has been skipped quite a lot from the last two episodes.

I would recommend checking out the manga Vindemon, because there is actually quite a bit more focus on Ryuuji and Taiga.

wow, i had sorta gotten the feeling that Kushieda was awesome before, but this just confirmed it. i get cheerful just watching her.

they'll get out of the shed eventually :). i kept on expecting an awkward fall on kushieda, and i'm pleasantly surprised it never occured. instead, and much better, Taiga happened. her facial expression rocked
