Everyone is aware of TxR but those two don't want to realize it - the classroom scene solved it.

was nice too)

This is just confusing me. Minorin likes Ryuuji but then she forces Taiga to admit she likes him right in front of him. And Ami, who also likes Ryuuji helps! But the thing is even though Minorin knows Taiga needs him, Ami wanted Ryuuji for herself. And doesn't anyone ask Ryuuji how he feels until the very end? Why would Minorin not even ask if he really likes her or if he really likes Taiga? Otherwise, it's just awkward. I guess I'll wait for the subs to see if I missed anything, but this was kind of awkward. And it seemed like a episode before last kind of episode. Not episode before two more.

Last seen may have been tops for the series, Kitamura and Ami are so keen+stealth. Minorin's eyes went Higurashi for a sec but it wasn't too off mood. I defn liked the twin pony on Aisaka as well.
Looking at the title for next week "confession", and the envelope (probably tuition) in the sneak, I am guessing that they're going to resolve the Univ conflict and then finish up heading into the resolve of the Taiga/Minorin/Ryuuji.

Isn't there anyone who thinks what minorin said to taiga at the end was weird?

Yes there's plenty of emotions and shouting but sometimes it just doesn't feels right. Seriously, i'm starting to lose hope in this.

Man...

So Haruto has a girlfriend, that's unexpected. And Noto likes Kihara, just as expected. Yacchan is awesome. A-min...well...I still like her the best, but she should've had acted before and snatched Ryuuji. Minorin is delirious because Taiga doesn't know that it was Ryuuji that saved her and he heard everything. She doesn't want poor Taiga to be left with all her feelings unanswered. And it's official now, if it wasn't already: it's Taiga x Ryuuji ending, much to many people's (including my) dismay. I demand a remastered version with Ami x Ryuuji ending.

wa wa wa, so much taiga x ryuuji moments... And it was expected that Noto likes Kihara. I was hoping Ryuuji x Minorin / Ami ending but I think that Taiga is fine too and it's pretty clear already.

Taiga was cute in the end : )))

Nice to see that the plot-moving scenes weren't engineered by coincidence, or in accordance to some kind of event. My only complaints approaching the finale is that Minorin wasn't fleshed out as well as I'd liked, and all hopes of more ami screentime are dashed.

Ah well, TxR for the best.

Well, it was to be expected.

I mean honestly, past all the hopeful thinking, did anyone really think that it was going to be anything BUT Taiga and Ryuuji?

The show IS called TORA (jap for tiger) DORA (katakana for dragon is ドラゴン, or in romaji [bold]DO-RA[/bold]-GO-N).

So come on, this show had one destiny from the very beginning. lol

I still wish for Minori x Ryuuji though... :[ haha

I think I gained an ounce of respect for minorin. As much as I loved the classroom scene at the end, I still favor Ami. Nonetheless, the scene was touching and I loved how they trapped Taiga in. It looks like 2 more great episodes to go...

Was it just me or did Taiga's voice sound a little off key?

In either case, it appears the show is expressing some strong friendship bonds. I really wasn't expecting a scene that was so over the top. It even went further than Sumire's, but I couldn't get into it so much this time. (I suppose because I'm more of a romantic type, I don't so much like the idea of giving up love for friendship as admirable as it may be.)

I agree with Ryuuji's stupidity, it's like fingernails scratching a chalkboard. However, Ami takes the woe is me route is what she deserves. With her cryptic fortune cookie talk she always has with Ryuuji which is also way past old. She knows how dense he is, she might have had a chance early on if her pride wasn't as big as the moon... Ah well killed the time nicely and CG's rocked for subbing it so fast...

That ending classroom scene was heartwrenching =/ It was actually acted out quite nicely, I couldn't be happier. I've gotta say it's a shame for Ami and Minorin though, I actually gained a lot of respect(despite cheering for her) for Minori in that final scene. It seems to be another classic "everyone knows but you" moment. It's a shame this is coming to an end, and now we're going to see their bonds truly tested. Who will break?

Oh, and Ami foot. FFFFFFFFFF

/me sighs

Minori and Ami both know that the one Ryuuji really likes is Taiga so they just buried their own chances to help RyuujixTaiga succeed. Taiga on the other hand, wants Ryuuji to end up with Minori so she hid her own feelings until Minori confronted her.

Loved the scene between Ami and Ryuuji. Shoe fetish, lol.
It was touching to hear Ami admit she understood Taiga's pain. And her thoughts on leaving/staying with the gang. ;__;

Really, the way all three girls acted this ep. made me gain some respect for all of them. Kitamura too. Just wish Taiga could stop running away from her emotions. Chase after her, Ryuuuji!

Now for another week's worth of waiting. D:

Minori surprised me at the end, I understand why she would make that face, but why is she saying what ami was saying earlier on? After re-watching that scene, it seems that Minori and Taiga was doing what they do for each other. They didn't want the other one to get hurt, so they support the other one.

Man, I love the cliff hanger, although everybody knows what will really happen~

This episode was so intense... I cried, for the second time in this anime. The first time was when Kanou and taiga was fighting~

I really still don't see what the big draw is for Ami. All she has done THIS ENTIRE ANIME is make some snide comments here and there. And besides that, she hasn't done much of anything.

Besides that, i'm pretty disappointed that this anime is probably going to end with a last minute coupling, and then a 1-3 minute after final event summary in the final episode.

I really wish i could find a anime that would contain this in the middle, and then have the rest be them as a couple.

This ep was pretty awesome, more ami time in the episode which was a plus. I was always for a Ami X Ryuuji or Taiga X Ryuuji. But it looks obvious as to which pair will be in the end.

Only 2 more eps, sadzor :(

really hasen't been, why else would they develop a 'different' romance for 21episodes. taiga only just realised then. its stupid, usually with these kind of shows almost everyone wants the 2 main people to end up toegther but this show has been much more split mainly cause they haven't even been making a romance between them most of the series. taiga and ryuji have come of as extremely close friends on maybey a brother and sister level for the whole series.
