| Go Watch Sumomo momo Its epic. It has not gotten much attention... Episode 1 http://www.veoh.com/videos/v83597095dreGdW#comments  |
| Wonderful episode again! ^^ Unlike others here Im a big fan of dramatic shows. The more suspense and tenseness the better... Haha... I was not the only one. When Minorin was sobbingly saying "Takasu-kun" several times, I didnt dare to breath. I was on the edge of my seat hoping for three simple words to appear: "I love you" . But I was heavily disappointed... ;( Defiance said: Not amused, but deeply hurt. ;( vaberella said: The problem with most crushes is that they are all like this. People falling in love with an image they themselves created in their fantasy world that eventually gets shattered by the real thing. Exactly! Thats life. Most people find their companion while chasing after a totally different person. If you are deeply in love with someone you rather feel uncomfortable around her/him, because you think you are not good enough for that special someone and you dont want her/him to see the ordinary/bad side of yourself. Therefore you act nervous and strange. Taiga and Ryuuji already got used to each other and complement one another in my opinion. That is the base of a real relationship. If they would seperate, it would not take long until they would miss each other a lot. vaberella said: Ryuuji...once again the man is setting him up for another rejection. Every bloody episode they talk to each other since episode 9 Minorin has blatantly rejected Ryuuji. Over and over and over and over again. The man is a glutton for punishment and needs to see that his fantasy girl is just that...a fantasy. I agree. But... well... thats love. Like Kitamura, Ryuuji needs a clear, unambiguous "Yes" or "No" in order to move on! Yuunagi said: Ryuuji's dense as a rock. Ami should have raped him in the storage room to get her point across. I LOL'ed. :D DeltaPlus said: Officially dropping this show. O.O Is that even possible at this point of the show? |

| This show never stops being amazing. |
| Minorin go for it and confess!!!!!<3 great episode :pnext episode might be a confession at chrismass party :p |
 |
| I like the ending part of the show. When Ryuuji says he'll be waiting for Minori! Next episode, I'm sure Minori will come to the party! |
    |
| Minorin starts to annoy me, and Ami is just a win win. She really likes Ryuuji, and unlike other two girls, she acts like a normal person. Unfortunately for all Ami fans(myself included) there is simply no way for them to end together... |
| I love this anime, however, it has two really predictable endings that I can think of unless Japan is bombed and they all die, which I doubt would happen. I really hate Minorin with a passion though. Always had, always will. |
People are strange, when you're a stranger |

Like Kitamura, Ryuuji needs a clear, unambiguous "Yes" or "No" in order to move on! How many clear rejections does he need from Minorin in order to move on. He's in the same boat as Taiga. Taiga KNOWS that Kitamura is in love with someone else and that someone else responded in kind. She knows that there is no chance but she's still sort of going after him. Ditto for Kihara. However, unlike Taiga, it would seem that Kihara has been on a closer level to Kitamura than her considering (correct me if I'm wrong) it seems to me Kihara is on the student body as well. Mario1-7 said: TiagaX Ryugii Please! No doubt----> I'm waiting for the next ep where hollowxxxx said: everything in this ep was bad omens and foreshadows doom. everything is messed up between everyone. i'm starting to dislike taiga for being so insensitive. she's all happy with her holiday and her kitamura, acting not at all like the taiga i fell in love with at the start of the series. while her best friend is suffering, and she's still taking advantage of ryuuji with thinking about his feeling at all. she's so oblivious. and why is ryuuji so devoted without wanting anything in return? he's like a slave pervert or something taht enjoys the harassment. and taiga forgets him as soon as kitamura is nice to her, and only half assed trys to "set up" minorin for self justification. she doesn't care at all. and the fact that ryuuji doesn't show any unease after what ami said is even sicker. it's so creepy how he really acts like a dog licking taiga's heels. i hope someone or something or someevent gives taiga a wake up call the next ep and she cares for the ppl around her a litle. I am so not seeing anything your saying. Nor do I get the clear explanation of each of your problems. |

kameko14 said: Thank you random alternate account, you have totally enlightened me. Please log on your real account so I can take you in somewhat seriousness. I mean, the fact that you are comparing Toradora to an eroge harem anime such as Akane-iro is already baffling enough.Defiance said: Haha, I'm almost positive that Ryuuji and Taiga will just remain friends, so I'll laugh even more when people like you get YOUR dream crushed. I really don't care who he ends up with, I'm not gonna cry all day like some people on here will, I just see that RyuujixMinorin seem to be the most connected. TaigaxRyuuji would be pretty akward. So I wouldn't be laughing at other people's hopes if I were you, you'll just seem even more dumb when your prediction doesn't happen (not directing this to Defiance, but eveyone in general). |
| bah, I just don't find minorin interesting. I doubt it matters as I'm sure he'll end up with Taiga. forget them, he was all alone with Ami, he should of been much more focused on her. it's a circle of rejection or something. |
 |
Kallen_R2 said: DeltaPlus said: Officially dropping this show. That is just sad. How could you drop it when it's getting good? o_o But it was painful to watch when Minorin was trembling and crying. but I really hope she goes to teh party. Ami is getting interesting. ;) He had read the 9th Volume of the novel if I remember clearly. He already spoiled a few of us who read his post and he didn't like that ending. Since the show, as I've said in the past, follows the novel directly...he of course doesn't like the probable ending he saw in the novel. Ami has been interesting...love that girl. Minorin...meh. ^_^ mystik said: bah, I just don't find minorin interesting. I doubt it matters as I'm sure he'll end up with Taiga. forget them, he was all alone with Ami, he should of been much more focused on her. it's a circle of rejection or something. Amen Brother....or sister. ^_^ That's my problem with Ryuuji in the anime. He's a bloody glutton for punishment. Bloody annoying let me tell you. Otherwise the rest of your statements I fully agree with. |

| minorin FTL, this made me ;_____; so much: |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| Alright, so it wasn't quite over 9000 posts, but w/e. Minorin is still #1 on my list of who Ryuuji should be with (Ami comes close in second, o/c). Ami's comparison of Ryuuji & Taiga's relationship as father-daughter was right on-the-mark, and I hope is stays that way. Now on to responses: AsianQuickSilver said: QFTAwesome episode. If Minori said I love you right there. I wouldve CAME. Defiance said: That has a nice ring to it.Minori acting crazy, Taiga acting all weird because of Christmas and Ryuuji in the middle just asking what the fuck is going on. Defiance said: scru u >.<Neph said: No, just factions.Seems like there are only fanboys left! mcjazzman32 said: Nooooooo! Do not mention that anime! *knocks on wood*It's the same with Kimikiss. I set myself up, hoping for a second season so bad and then I got burned. lol. *Sigh. @vaberella Great avatar XD |

| Minorin is starting to seem really unstable mentally >_> maybe thats why shes so odd That hurt a little with the star breaking >< |
traed said: Minorin is starting to seem really unstable mentally >_> maybe thats why shes so odd That hurt a little with the star breaking >< HAHAHAHA!!! Starting to seem unstable? When has she ever seemed like she didn't need high doses of valium and prozac? |
| Great episode. Star breaking was sad indeed, and Minorin is really getting unstable... I still cheer up for Ami. And Yuri-yeacher is awesome ^_^ |
 |
| Critical strike!!! Ami.. Why is Ami so indecisive? Its like...  |

Kira01 said: Critical strike!!! Ami.. Why is Ami so indecisive? Its like... She's not indecisive...she's just insecure regarding her standing with Ryuuji. She's already confessed, and he could care less, and now, he's getting jealous of Kitamura and Taiga? I'd personally feel the same way. |
| OKay suspense people we only got 3 more days till i shows in TV tokyo whats gonna happen, is minorin gonna show at the ball?? WHO KNOWWSSSS :0 know what i think....i reckon shes jealous of Ryuuji |

smathels said: OKay suspense people we only got 3 more days till i shows in TV tokyo whats gonna happen, is minorin gonna show at the ball?? WHO KNOWWSSSS :0 know what i think....i reckon shes jealous of Ryuuji IMHO it's the following things 1. In ami's house situation ryuuji is the daddy, and min would be the mom. This is the sort of situation min was in before ryuuji stepped in, and now that he has taiga depends on him A LOT MORE then she does min. She feels dejected 2. She has developed feelings for Ryuuji, but she's unsure about how he feels for Taiga, since she's the mom she wants her daughter to be happy. If she took ryuuji for herself and started dating him, who would be there for Taiga? 3. It's obvious to everyone but Taiga, that Kitamura is a lost cause. Theres absolutely no chance. At the same time, eventually Kitamura and Taiga will have to split apart, the one sided liking can not continue on. Min sees some feelings from Taiga for Ryuuji, but nobody really knows how she truely feels for him. What if she did like him? What if she takes him and Taiga realizes she had feelings and it destroys their relationship. Basically she has a crush on Ryuuji, but is jealous of his relationship of Taiga, and is afraid what a relationship between them would do to Taiga. |

| God, I love Ami so much. I really think she's the best match for Ryuuji. It's a shame it probably won't happen at this point. When she was saying he should give her another chance I nearly melted<33 On another note, I'm not entirely sure that Minorin's behaviour is because she has a crush on Ryuuji. I'm still curious as to why she has so many part time jobs. |
 |
JadeMatrix said: I think the metaphor was more in reference to them "playing house" because after she said that she asked "why do you have to be the daddy? Your relationship with Taiga seems very unnatural." So the way I interpreted it was that she was alluding to the fact that he doesn't have to keep so romantically distant to Taiga. Then the rest of what she says is kinda just there to throw you off and try to keep you guessing. So anyways, that was the hint that I caught there.Ami's comparison of Ryuuji & Taiga's relationship as father-daughter was right on-the-mark, and I hope is stays that way. |

I'm still curious as to why she has so many part time jobs. At a guess I'd say she's either living alone supporting her parents. It's not just the crush, it's her feelings of responsibility toward taiga. |

| Funny thing would be if that was true, I probably would slit my wrists though T_T. Anyway god it must hurt to be Ami, she's in love with him and she knows she has no chance. Minorin too is in extreme pain and I think at the end with Takasu helping her probably just made things much much worse for her, the best thing for her is for him to be a total asshole and distance himself for her. This has been truly great watching the side-characters moreso than Taiga, although this week did give a good emotional glimpse into her. I hope the animators can animate the last novel if it's in time and do the series justice. |

I hope the animators can animate the last novel if it's in time and do the series justice. I don't think Ami is in love with Ryuuji. Remember she only got into Ryuuji to piss off Taiga. Otherwise she wouldn't have wasted her time. I think now she's definitely "in gratitude" with him. Meaning she's confusing gratitude and appreciation with romantic feelings but it's nothing that would last the long run. I don't get why Minorin is acting the way she is. She's not sure of Taiga's feelings nor is she making any moves to find out....if the scenario of Taiga being her concern really the issue. I just think she has issues and they are issues I don't know about yet. So at this point her living in the projects and having a kid is just as plausible at this point. |

Then check out the title, the answer is written there ^^ The reason I love Toradora! is that you know how it's gonna end from the very beginning ^^ Yet it teases and tickles you during the journey - it just brings all kind of other emotions to your place!! And that's fantastic, worrying, awesome, disturbing, cheering, amazing!! It leaves a bunch of space for discussion and debates as well ^^ What more could I ask for?!! |
soulelle said: What more could I ask for?!! ...A plot twist (crap if that does happen) but well i guess its notable, but really im may cry either way :3 man..just like when her father didn't show for the cultural festival, and Ryuuji goes to win to win the Lucky Man race with Minorin... man that was touching |

And I wasn't trying to sound aggressive towards you, I was just saying that you shouldn't be making assumptions and laughing at other peoples', because you may be wrong. And I was in no way whatsoever comparing the anime is general to Akane-iro. I was just showing how people assumed someone would get the guy, but they were proved wrong. It's been like that in other animes, like Clannad. |
