Staying up until one in the morning on a Thursday night to finish this anime. I've never made a better decision. I'm so damn emotional right now.

10/10.

And so it ends one of my all time fav animes.
As a hardcore Minori fan i must say that as much as I wish for a Minori ending it will never happen because Ryuuji was meant to be with Taiga and IMO it was very good ending also Taiga is a very good character..maybe on another anime or remake (even a spin off) i would surely LOVE to see Minori again

I give this a 10/10 and get a place in my top 5 as my favorite comedy/romance anime it was such a good drama and will always enjoy every rewatch

OHHH i can't forget to put the EPIC Kitamura scene it's just so full of WIN!!! LMAO XDDD definitively one of my highlights of this episode lol

Agreed, Ami's character wasn't really fully uncovered either I guess. Ryujii seemed much more like a big brother to Tiaga.

It did seem like the whole romance between Taiga and Ryujii was quite rushed over the last couple of episodes but they did manage to make it work and seem fairly believable.

Plus they kissed like four times! In one episode! That's unprecedented in an anime series!

I just didn't like how they had to be separated for so long and like someone mentioned earlier, I didn't like how it ended all tsundere-y instead of romantic but I still loved the episode.
Harems don't exist in America. If one guy is constantly surrounded by beautiful girls, then he's probably the gay friend.

love the series.

ryuji's feeling to taiga maybe looks like it comes out of now where , but the hints was there, it was just subtle. That is what i love about toradora the subtle use of hints using expression and body language.

and i think the reason why taiga transffered school was because her father went bankrupt so she couldn't stay at the apartement and that school anymore and she must live with her mother and another reason is to fix her relationship with her family just like ryuji does to his family.

still the best rom-com anime/manga i've encoutered so far

Great ending to a great series.

This series achieves not only to develop and bond with the main characters but with really most of the supporting cast as well.

I wonder, could the Graduation Announcement on the table at the end - when Inko-chan finally says its name - be a hint for Ya-chan repeating High School and graduating too? (I would love that development - but its more likely to be the announcment for Ryuuji I guess)

Am I the only one who doesn't get it why Taiga goed to her mother?... It kinda pissed me off, she just left Ryuuji behind? Poor guy :(

But I liked the ending, would've liked to see a kiss or a hug at least though... I loved the kissing scene, it was so sweet <3

Nice anime overall, it bothered me a bit that Ryuuji didn't got a lot focus for 3/4th of the anime but the last couple of episodes were enough to make up for it. I really enjoyed it most of the time but I would've liked some more romance (instead of just some romance in the last episodes). But still, one of the better romance anime's out there! 8/10 ^^

Just rewatched the whole thing...
It's amazing how it inspired me to change again... Just made me realized that people have different views on things... And different ways of achieving what they want in life...

This might actually change my number 1 favorite anime to this one... Now that I've rewatched it.
Ah... Now to look for fanfictions that will continue after the story (and that will satisfy me. And also will connect properly to the story)

I am so glad Ryuji and Taiga were able to be together again. I am, without a doubt, in love with this series, as it is one of the best series i seen so far in the romance section. Definitely want to read the manga now!

I felt in some way, the producers did a well-rounded job in creating the romantic relationship between Ryuji and Taiga dramatic and convincing to the viewers.

Never run away from your problems, and you must have to face them head on so you can move forward in life. I will always this lesson the anime taught me. :D

My God, after watching this series, I was AMAZED!

It was my second ever anime, its only predecessor being "Shakugan no Shana". The ending and the last 3 episodes just BLEW ME AWAY!!!

Everything about it is so amazing! It really is too bad that there won't be a second season, because they tied up all the loose ends for the two main characters. I would, however, enjoy some more background story about what happens to Ami and Minorin, but I guess that's in the manga/light novels?

But seriously, the last 3 episodes were BEAST! After Taiga left Ryuuji, I was like "B-B-B-WHAA?!?! NO NO NO THIS CAN'T BE!!!~ H-how...? W-w-why?... Taiga..." and then in the end I was like "OMG YES THANK YOU LORD!!! They DO stay together, and she doesn't leave him for God-knows where!" Japanese are so epicly weird :D

Side-note: To all of those who say that Ryuuji should've ended up with Ami/Minorin, it's obvious that those two can and will find someone to love. Taiga however, is the pickiest, most stubborn girl I've ever seen that depends on Ryuuji, so it wouldn't make sense if they didn't end up together, or she would like kill herself of despair and sadness, as she clearly can't control her feelings.

PPS: I'm a guy with no social life (I'm almost anti-social) who has recently fallen in love with anime, mostly romances. I WISH SOOOO BADLY that I could forget this and re-watch it again.

9001/10 for me. I think that it's really going to be hard to find something to top Toradora!, in terms of tsundere-type romances. I love tsunderes :3

Are your favorite characters always a foil (a character that greatly contrasts another character in order to highlight their features) to a tsundere? If that's the case, that might be why, haha. Tsunderes almost always take the limelight.

Now that its over, i once again have completed watching so many amazing series like this one. I feel so sad, i need more. I also need to find a new series, something like this one. Samurai Champloo and Cowboy bebop were really interesting series, my favorite- but you always need a break from those types of anime and watch anime like this. Toradora! 11/10.

This was my fav. romance anime ever. I agree with everything said before about its creativity. Also, to the extent that it was shoujo, I was delighted to see Taiga fall in love with a man who was actually KIND to her. There's a bunch of shoujo manga where the girls seem to get turned on by being treated mean. E.g., "Hot Gimmick".

Of course Taiga had to go off and bond with her mom for a while! She was never depicted as stupid, just impulsive. To have run away and broken with an extremely wealthy family would have been incredibly stupid, because if her parents disowned her it could have made the rest of her life very bad, compared with what it could have been if she stayed connected to them.

But why wouldn't a girl in love have talked this step over with the boyfriend first? Someone like Taiga would tend to continue always to be high-handed by nature, and it seems to me that her unilaterally making that decision was an example of this.

I doubt that love changes anyone's fundamental character. For that reason, this story could easily have had another great season showing the two of them working out the dominance-submission issues that would inevitably arise between them.

These characters are rich and complex enough to generate lots more drama. They're like the pair in "Spice and Wolf" in that respect.

DAMN! I usually dislike anime in this genre but this has to be one of the best anime out there.

There were far too many highlights to mention!

The last episode really slapped me around. I can't lie, I was played like a fool.

I'm happy I picked this show up. I have actually learned a few life lessons.

Every character deserves a round of applause. All previous hate and grudges have been diminished. ^^

Honestly I hated the ending. The whole tsundere act at the end ruined it for me, but moreover I hated the entire second half of the last episode. In my opinion it would have been much better if she didn't disappear and come back only for a tiny scene at the end.

Yeah it seems that she went to live her mom and yeah the ending was kind of sad but I still think it was cuz ether way she came back

Also I know this has been asked, but where did she go exactly? To live with her mother or something, and a different school? Oh well I guess I'm being picky. As long as they end up together in the end, right?

Overall I'd say 9/10 but that last episode is more like a 6 for me. :<

I liked the ending, but I would've liked to see more. I think it would've been better if they didn't have a huge time skip. Maybe they could've had 1 or 2 extra episodes that explained where Taiga actually went. Instead of a vague note that said she went to live with her mother. The drama would build up, then we'd get to the time skip. It was still a good ending.

well it's over. saw it almost 3 years after it ended. Wasn't all that into it. At first I was, but when it started to show signs of romance between taiga and takasu i was like ehh, i dropped it for like a month. Yeah i'm one of the few who didn't like that pairing. I don't like friendship getting split because of a guy..so that's why i was like, no.

So what, a whole year passed? and she didn't talk to anyone?
it's kinda sad, high school is over, so what will happen now? what will happen to everyone else?
it's obvious taiga n takasu will be together now..
but what about ami and minorin??
Kitamura will be going to america, that i know...but ahh...
let's just say it left a knot in my throat than a big ass smile on my face...

but i enjoyed taiga, ami and minorin's characters though.
and yes taiga's voice actress ftw! :)

Le sigh -- I still need to finish Macross Frontier (amazing as well btw) so I'll get back to it. It just may take a couple days to pick back up after rewatching the epicosity that is this anime.

For all those still asking: Their original plan was to run away for a year until they were both old enough to legally stand on their own and be free of their parents/caretakers.

They realised that was a childish way to go about it, and instead decided to return to their parents and sit out the year they would normally have spend running. They knew there was a good chance Taiga's mom would still insist on her coming to live with her again(especially since she said Taiga's dad business flopped, so he may not have been able to keep sending her money and stuff), but decided it was the grown-up thing to do.

So then what they feared would happen really did happen: Taiga had to live with her mom. However, she really wanted to do the responsible thing, and after one year they're both old enough, and can be together again.

Hope that clears it up for a few people.

Overall this was a really good series. The beginning was pretty iffy to me, but the show got better and better as it went on.

It didn't quite end as well as I would have liked, but everything leading up to it was really well-done. Best thing about the show is probably the characters, which at first I didn't like very much. Goes to show how well the story developed them, I suppose. :>

I was a little lost at first because things were moving so fast, but after reading a few clarifications it makes a lot more sense now.

Regardless, the ending would have had to really suck for me not to give this a 10. I can see myself possibly lowering it to a 9 in the future, but I really, really enjoyed this series regardless.
