Was all those build up just a bridge to Ami new personality?

That's what it seemed like. The part with the frog on Ami's foot... Every other line she was switching between Ami-chan and dark-mode. Would someone as experienced as Ami is at hiding her real self make that kind of mistake repeatedly? It was very awkward.

But that's a good point about Ami's arc possibly being longer in the novel. This episode could have been pretty funny if they had taken things a little bit more slowly and explained some of the weird discrepancies. Maybe they were rushing to get the arc finished quickly, so they sped up the pace of the novel again.

I'm going with you on those, naikou. Some things didn't occur to make sense, especially with Ami's personality and the stalker dude. Was all those build up just a bridge to Ami new personality? Toradora has its own style of fanservice and I'd consider Ami punishing the stalker was done for the fans' delight.

A question arises. Knowing they moved so fast in the first two episodes, I wonder if Ami's arc could've been longer in comparison to the novel.


YO Chibuki! I was not confused at all. There is development and yeah Ryuuji might be like huh? Him a stalker but I think he got the idea the guy is not wanted by Ami. THANKS FOR THE GIFS dude! I am using one of them AND I LOVE IT!

Another nice epsidoe. Poor guy, wonder what will happen to him with Taiga walking in on them.
Compared to the novel, the anime already have like 2 filler epsidoes and is cutting out alot of character bonding/growing so there are some moments in the anime where things just didn't connect together.
However, I still got to say, so far it's one of my favorite for the new season.

At first, I thought that this guy with camera was her rejected lover or sth like that - by this impression lasted only 5 seconds :) So Ryuuji could be easily mistaken as well.

Last scene with Ami being sluty and Taiga shock > all. In my opinion in that moment Taiga flet something strange for her to feel - jealousy over Ryuuji. If Ami follows her path to made Ryuuji her boyfriend, Taiga will probably do the same and forget about Kitamura.

Some side notes after subs:

So that attack was about a weight issue...........I hope Ami does not have anorexia.

It's her fault for being weak. The moving and having to do all that crap was a lame excuse. Not giving to your parents is also a lame excuse..........should have solved it herself. My suggestion..........BUY pepper spray..........BUY TAZER.............GO TO martial arts class................USE HOME MADE TOOLS to defend.

Yeah I was right------------->Split personality with a Bi-Polar disorder perhaps caused by all that stress and stalker................YOU FAULT AMI. No one else. Also guess Kitamura FAILED her. No kidding he was begging Aisaka...........HE FAILED thus was helpless!

Some reference Aisaka used on Ami to make her psych out! 150 rapid fire suggestion overload her mentality for sure.
-Uganda------------->is a landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered on the east by Kenya, on the north by Sudan, on the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the southwest by Rwanda, and on the south by Tanzania. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, within which it shares borders with Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda takes its name from the Buganda kingdom, which encompassed a portion of the south of the country including the capital Kampala.-------------------------> A joke about a contry in their misery???

-Falco-----------------too many reference and is not too clear of which person she is referring too but check it out and guess-------------->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falco#People


-Akechi Mitsuhide----------->Akechi Mitsuhide - (明智 光秀, Akechi Mitsuhide -? 1528? – July 2, 1582 Japanese calendar 6th month 13th day), nicknamed Jūbei or Koretō Hyūga no Kami (惟任日向守, Koretō Hyūga no Kami?), was a samurai who lived during the Sengoku period of Feudal Japan.

Mitsuhide was a samurai and a general under daimyo Oda Nobunaga, although he later betrayed Nobunaga and caused him to commit seppuku.

-Matsumoto Seichou--------------> Book author that wrote one book about AN AFFAIR and another about A MURDER.

-Oda Nobunaga---------------->Oda Nobunaga (織田 信長, Oda Nobunaga?) Oda Nobunaga (help·info) (June 23, 1534–June 21, 1582) was a major daimyo during the Sengoku period of Japanese history. He was the second son of Oda Nobuhide, a deputy shugo (military governor) with land holdings in Owari province.[1][2] Nobunaga lived a life of continuous military conquest, eventually conquering a third of Japanese daimyo before his death in 1582

-Dazai Osamu---------------------->Osamu Dazai (太宰 治, Dazai Osamu?); (June 19, 1909 – June 13, 1948) was a Japanese author who is considered one of the foremost fiction writers of 20th-century Japan. He is noted for his ironic and gloomy wit, his obsession with suicide, and his brilliant fantasy.

-Amaterasu------------------> Amaterasu (天照, Amaterasu?), Amaterasu-ōmikami (天照大神 / 天照大御神, Amaterasu-ōmikami?) or Ōhiru-menomuchi-no-kami (大日孁貴神, Ōhiru-menomuchi-no-kami?) is in Japanese mythology a sun goddess and perhaps the most important Shinto deity (神, kami?). Her name, Amaterasu, means literally "(that which) illuminates Heaven". She was born from the left eye of Izanagi as he purified himself in a river and went on to become the ruler of the Higher Celestial Plain (Takamagahara).

She is also said to be directly linked in lineage to the Imperial Household of Japan and the Emperor, who are considered descendants of the kami themselves.

So in when you understand all these references you should all know that Aisaka attacked Ami psychologically with ARMY/SCI-FI/DARK THEMES such as suicide/murder/betrayal.

-Ami might have episodes of black outs.

I'm starting to lean that way also, especially if she is gratefully for letting Ryuuji for telling her to show her true self.

Anyway I thought the episode was ok, it definitely looked like an episode to introduce the new personality of Ami. At least they made her even more likable for me. :D

Is this show really going to go for 25 episodes? If it is, shouldn't the paced be a little bit better?

I was originally rooting for RyujixMinorin, but now I realize that's probably because I didn't want RyujixTaiga. Ryuji & Minorin's personalities don't really mix, so now I'm going for Ami.

And to think I was coming here to post that. I was sadly beat to it :(

I'm kinda glad to see the Ami plot developing, even if it is coming a little too quickly for my tastes. I still don't 100% trust her either. I'd much prefer to see Ryuuji with Minori too. Actually, I just want more Minori, can we rename this show Minori and make it 20 minutes of her antics? The Convenience Store Fist of Truth was rather epic, though I was hoping for a gattai :(

Also, the reason Ami stuck around at Taiga's place was she was afraid everyone else would discover her true nature, Taiga held this over her head, and then made her go through the impressions; another thing Taiga could hold over her head.

Like others, I was pretty saddened by Ryuuji's "LOLSTALKERRLY?", but what can you do? He's been spending too much time with Minori.

Such a great episode was LOL the first minute with Kushieda/Taiga attacking Ami XD and Taiga agreeing to help Kitamura was really funny and cute.

Also the most the enthuisastic speech from the president about picking up litter, hahaha!!

maybe my opinion has changed of Ami at the end when she went crazy mode infront of the stalker 0__0

Wow, it was all slightly odd, I didn't expect it to play out this way but...I loved this episode! Oh my goodness, the soundtrack for this series! <3

It may also be I'm a drama lover, and, this episode made me love Toradora! even more. Minorin is so cute, and funny oh my goodness && I'm definately anticipated for the next episode, Taiga's expression to Ami and Ryuuji. It makes me smile at the idea of Taiga x Ryuuji, wehoo! I want more!

EDIT: PS: woaah! Thanks Chibuki for the link to your gifs! They are amazing <3

Ami confuses me still... maybe I just shouldn't watch this show with a migraine- but why does she put up a fake personality anyways??? I don't understand her reasoning at all yet.

And at first didn't she just want to "play" with Ryuuji to get to Taiga- but now she likes him for real knowing how sweet he is? Right?

Read my posts they will tell you more. In short in modeling agencies it is common to do that so you can earn yourself a place. Also sometimes Ami uses her fake personality to play with the hearts of others thus earning in the the end her own selfish interest.

Now we hope things can change.
