I loved the episode. Looking forward to moar TaigaxRyuuji in the next episodes! :D

omg this episode was way too awesome. with the different ed and all it was perfectly.
so they will make a taiga x ryuuji i suppose. with minorin rejecting him and taiga cry after him it is really clear. lets see if there will be some big twists until the end. but that scene was soo touching with taiga running out and screaming, or ryuuji in the costume of the bear. overall really a perfect episode.

Ami seems pissed, Taiga realizes her true feelings for a fatherly Ryuuji lol, and Minorin sacrifices everything to look like an ass. Liked the part where Taiga was all creeped out at first when seeing pedobear.

I like TaigaXRyuuji, wanted it right from the start, so I'm pretty pleased, and hope things lean towards the way I want it to be =P.

Taiga running after Ryuuji was a bit surprising, but nicely done.

~Abs

...and there a potentially great conclusion went down the drain. I hope they make something good out of the last six episodes, but I doubt it. :/

I guess I was slow on the uptake, but maybe Taigi does have an Electra Complex. Ami points it out, Ryuuji wears her dad's suit...

And all this pedobear talk. Imagine if it wasn't Ryuuji in the suit. Parents should warn kids not to open their windows if any suspicious bears knock on them.

I really LOOOVED THIS EPISOOODE!!! Honestly, it was so perfect, it was so touching seeing Ryuuji hugging Taiga in that santa bear suit, it made my cry... And finally Taiga realized her feelings for Ryuuji!! It was so sad... I've waited for this since I started to watch Toradora... TAIGA X RYUUJI FOR EVER!!! TORADORA <33

This time around, I don't have any smart stuff left to say. I'm not the type who gets easily emotional, but i'm shocked and almost in tears. This is probably the first time when I just sit with my jaw dropped, and probably look like Taiga holding the scarf.

Without further ado, Toradora is my new #1 anime.

AWESOME EPISODE! :D
Ryuuji in bear suit was funny XD
This anime got SOOOOOOOOOOO much better from episode 1

Anyways, Taiga x Ryuuji ftw ;_;
I used to like Kushieda more, but...

Akari Chan, can I have this pic in higher resolution for a background?

This was a very amazing episode as far as the series plays out, and a most interesting route to take it. Though it is cliche, this route probably is the quickest for development and keeping with the short arts(2-3 episodes a peice, if I'm counting). Suzuka did the opposite of this series, what most of you guys wanted I think that JC made this work, and in a very creative way so that we could keep guessing. If they would've made it anything else, it kinda would've been TOO obvious.

Anyways, Taiga was just cute throughout, and I so just wanted to give her a hug(or a cookie) after she started crying! It's about time though that she wised up! Now if Ryuji would get a clue(though I believe he's starting to, as he was kinda indecisive for a second there).

I loved this episode, finally Taiga realises her feelings for Ryuji. Now Ryuj needs to realise that Minorin was just a fantasy and he never really liked her, just her energy and optimisim. I think Ryuj loved Taiga long before Taiga love him, almost from the very beginning, he's just able to understand that his feelings of protectiveness and friendship come from love, not the daddy syndrome, as Ami was trying to say.

One word: Pedobear!

Ahem...and I thought RyuujixMinorin was finally developing. It's a shame that RyuujixTaiga is almost inevitable now. This episode was funny, cute, and sweet, yet so sad. The only bad thing I can think of is that the final is pretty obvious now, if it wasn't already.

On a side note, I'll love this show if they can bring Ryuuji and Ami together through a plot-twist.

Really loved this ep.
The end is becoming a little predictable, but still love the story.
Someone told the novel was beter than the anime and the manga, i have a hard time finding a site where i can read the novel can someone plz help me with that :)

anyway, it was a great episode singing was great but the part with playing santa was funny like hell.

Good episode, but it way too early for this kind of episode if it really is going to be RyuujixTaiga. If this was the second or third to last episode then I would have said it was a lock, however, with six episodes left I'm still not sure at all. RyuujixTaiga is not convincing to me at all.

I expect a last ditch effort Ami blitzkrieg and more Minorin emo-ness to come.

Great episode, and man was I right. I knew that Minori wanted to be with Takasu, but she didn't want to hurt Taiga, that's why she was being strange. Kinda pisses me off though, I always loved MinorixTakasu.

Check out Baka-Tsuki.

...and now that I think over again, I realized how much I hate this episode for deciding the outcome of the show. Waiting for an Ami or Minorin is just wishful thinking.

It's not over -- !!

Ryuuji tried to confess his feelings that night but Taiga 'rejected' him!!

Why do you think she ran after him in despair?

And Minorin rejected him -- !!

I think Taiga is too proud to confess! And she is also a klutz when it comes to love --

So it's finally 'Ryuuji's' arc and who he really develops feelings for !!

Eh?! How did you read that Taiga rejected him after he was trying to confess? Can you break that down?

She ran after him for on easy reason. Taiga realized HER feelings for Ryuuji and wanted to confess. She's not shy about confessing and she wanted Ryuuji to herself. But there was no way Ryuuji was going to confess to her, he was going to stay with her but not confess from what I could see and Taiga definitely did not reject him. He had Minorin on the mind from the beginning of the ep until Ami reminded him of Taiga's issues and he ran after her. But you don't go from having a gift for Minorin and wearing a bear costume at the school waiting for another woman if he was going to confess to Minorin. Which I think he's done more than once.

Taiga is too proud to confess?! Are you kidding? Go back to the Beach house ep, I believe ep 10 and she almost confessed then to him. She clearly said she felt the dream about her being the mother of his dogs to be foreshadowing . Why would she be too proud to confess?

She is a klutz when it comes to a crush. When it comes to Ryuuji she's fairly clear. Go back to the ep where he was hurt in the pool competition episode. She's far from a klutz considering it was her who saved him.

I thought the entire story was around Ryuuji since he's the main. I find that if he needed an arc and was getting one he had one when it came to Taiga's dad story because all that was dominated by Ryuuji.

AS for his feelings...I find he has developed a crush on Minorin but will probably end up with Taiga but so far there's nothing to suggest his romantic feelings for Taiga but there is no denying he cares greatly for Taiga and is emotionally connected to her distress and will do what it takes to make her happy. Yet, he hasn't realized that as love though.

An awesome idea! =)

This episode was really beautiful. I suppose all 5 of them will stay friends in the end, no pairings. Though I wish Taiga and Ryuji were together in the end, because their story somehow reminds my own story. I was also relying on a man considering him just a friend, and now we're in love ^___^

This episode seriously made me want to cry manly tears, but my manlyness took over and kept myself from being a raging faggot..
Really good episode.
Kinda rage worthy though.
