| Wow that sure was some intense drama. Whole final scene was a little hard to watch; just brutal. |
Sickly_Grin said: I really wanted Ryuuji to end up with Minorin, they would have made a great couple. Plus Ryuuji was in love with Minorin from the very start. But the author made sure that didn't happen by coming up with very convenient scenes, like Minroin bumping into Taiga when she was screaming Ryuuji's name, or Taiga thinking Ryuuji was Kitamura and inadvertently confessing her true feelings to him. Yeah, the obvious pairing that was Ryuuji x Taiga couldn't be avoided in the end. -_- what u say'd is not complete truth ,Ryuuji & Taiga fell in love from the first meeting |
| Minorin may act all bubbly most of the time but she she can out right scary! |

| The ending was so intense, I liked the writing, it went from a sweet chocolate distribition into a big confrontation. What I like the most is to think that Ami and Kitamura probably acted just by instinct, on the moment. Minorin made some crazy face, but it was nice to see her not holding her feeling. Now it's the final showdown. I guess next episode will be the confession and the last an epilogue. |

| A lot of this episode felt like overreaction, especially on Taiga's end... she was acting like she was possessed by a demon, and why? Because she can't come to terms with her feelings? Or because she wants the best for her bff? In either case, her reaction felt unnatural and inappropriate, bleh. |
| god that intervention was ruthless |

But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Interventions for love are the most intense. =o |
| Damn, last few minutes were intense. I'm all for TxR by the way. |
| I did not like this episode... it was like trying to wake up a suicidal person. 5/5 xD |
 |
DNF said: was nice too) This was the only thing about this ep I liked. Taiga x Ryuuji sucks but it's too late to drop it now lol |
| good episode |
| Minorin freaked out in that room. That was almost bullying. We know what's coming next. |
| The drama is palpable. I feel like I understand Minorin and Ami a bit more and their motivations. Ami just wants someone who can accept her for who she is, Minorin wants to seize everything with her own hands and not through others. And Taiga can't face the things she wants because she is scared. |
 |
| damn :( I almost started crying during that silent exchange between Ryuuji and Minori when taiga said it was kitamura who carried her up the mountain. Minori is frikin scary when shes mad |
~my list
| even if i did not and still not want a taiga ending the end of the ep is touching |
 |
| WHOOPS, Ryuuji didn't told to Minori about Taiga, Oh gosh... this going to be start a love? |
| Well, that escalated quickly. |

| Good enough episode, I really liked it's valentine day feeling and even Ami parts were nice but the end totally ruined it. I mean, that scene in the classroom felt so forced and overblown it almost disgusted me. Relationships should be organic, they would find their way together for sure in time, in fact, I think Takasu would tell her soon enough by himself. But instead, this was such useless and unrealistic drama I almost cringed after credits started rolling. And when exactly did Kushieda get to know what exactly she told him? I doubt she told her and surely Kitamura didn't tell her too. And I doubt she could realize that in matter of seconds on the place. She might be angry because Taiga isn't telling her anything anymore but that doesn't change the fact that her spurt was pretty much ill-founded. Now I hate her even more after this nonsense. As for Kitamura and Ami-chan, I can understand their motives but this forcing was just stupid from screenwriter's point-of-view. Mari Okada is good enough author that can portray women well but those extreme moments are definitely something she needs improve a lot in the future (in fact, she already did in shows like Zetsuen no Tempest or Nagi no Asakura but this certainly wasn't the case for Toradora back then). |
| Wow what an ending. I really liked how this turned out and how they the 3 of them put a stop to the stupid games and made Taiga and Ryuuji come clean! 5/5 |
 |
| I'm the only one who ship ryuuji x ami |

| Why isnt anybody asks ryouji how he feels and who he wants? Those girls are bugging his balls for non stop..i mean cmon |
 |
| It got pretty cringe near the end. |
 |
| This show is literally cringe in it's anime form. |
Well, I don't know what to think if that last whole scene... It was too melodramatic and also rude... I mean, what obligation each of them had to restrain Taiga that way? WTF!? I can't help but think it was too forced, just to get a confession in the next episode. Ok, I get it they they fell for eachother after being close friends all this time but... come on, what's this? There's this feeling of unease in my towards the situation I can't seem to shake. It feels forced... and quite literally this time. I'm not bashing the main couple tho, but these means to that end... I'm not sure. TsundereHeart said: Well...shit finally happened. Lots of yelling and crying....a bit forced (not as much as that confession doe) but yeah...so much drama So just to make this clear (for myself), Ryuji likes Minori Taiga likes Ryuji, but won't go for it because she wants Minori to get him Minori likes Ryuji, but won't go for it because she wants Taiga to get him. And then she's not happy that Taiga is letting her "have" Ryuji Hm, maybe I'm kinda tired but it's hard to wrap my mind around this. Well I think it's kinda interesting that when both of them like him they're trying to help the other person...doesn't seem like something most people would do. Also since they're both in the same boat more or less it's kinda strange that Minori was the one chewing out Taiga since couldn't Taiga say the exact same thing back to her? edit: tried to read this thread some for insight. So I guess Ami, Minori and Kitamura are all trying to get Taiga x Ryuji to work because...they think it works best and they like each other? I mean sure, that would be an explanation but I dunno if I've seen any huge signs that would indicate to the others that Ryuji /actually/ likes Taiga and not Minori so yeah...that's kinda confusing edit2: read a much better explanation. I think I get it now Post #154 for anyone who read this and has the same confusion as me. Wow, you read a lot of posts to get that one particularly. Let's see it. Post #154 Well, that's a good point of view. I still wonder if that's the case and if it is, why didn't I see it? I still think she should have never acted that way. I mean, if you want something, you get it. Well, I think it depends on the author's way of thinking that is different than mine. |

| Re-watching TORADORA for the nth time.. and this episode always makes my blood boil.. EMORIN the HYPOCRITE!! |
 |
| Ryuuji, go after her already! |
 |
| The flow of this show is so good! Wait, I hear a train coming! |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| Well, it's hard for me to believe that some people believed this was going to end in any other way than TxR ;p... Also, since when is high school love so dramatic? What did I do wrong in my life? Xd I absolutely loved the fact that Haruta has a girlfriend and is so chill about it, like a normal human being... Best part of the episode for me :DD |

| I can understand the confusion and hesitation before, and not being self aware of feelings etc. But at this point Ryuuji actually needs to take some action. Two episodes left though, so I doubt anything will be resolved in the next one |
| Such drama in the classroom, it was a nice touch that all five of them were there, even though Ami and Kitamura were not important to the scene, it's nice seeing the gang at the same place. tinman21 said: Re-watching TORADORA for the nth time.. and this episode always makes my blood boil..

| WELL,my second best anime. |
| Gnyo ho! |
| Yacchan worked hard for his son. He has a good mom. The episode was good until the ending, I mean, wtf what that? Why Minorin forces Taiga to admit she likes Ryuuji? That was so rude. He would tell Taiga soon enough by himself. |
