Toradora!

Ryuuji Takasu is a gentle high school student with a love for housework; but in contrast to his kind nature, he has an intimidating face that often gets him labeled as a delinquent. On the other hand is Taiga Aisaka, a small, doll-like student, who is anything but a cute and fragile girl. Equipped with a wooden katana and feisty personality, Taiga is known throughout the school as the "Palmtop Tiger."

One day, an embarrassing mistake causes the two students to cross paths. Ryuuji discovers that Taiga actually has a sweet side: she has a crush on the popular vice president, Yuusaku Kitamura, who happens to be his best friend. But things only get crazier when Ryuuji reveals that he has a crush on Minori Kushieda—Taiga's best friend!

Toradora! is a romantic comedy that follows this odd duo as they embark on a quest to help each other with their respective crushes, forming an unlikely alliance in the process.

What can I say, Toradora! is overall a great anime, except for the four episodes in the beginning, where I didn't mind Taiga as an aggressive to cute girl, on the contrary I found her interesting, but the way the series worked with humor, which in the beginning revolved around Taiga hitting Ryuuji about 50 times in one episode, which I found corny and unfunny, as time went on the series started to add more imaginative and completely absurd jokes that I just had to laugh at and for another the series deepened the characters more and I understood why they were acting like that, ... some people say that Taiga is the exact same character from start to finish and that Ryuuji deserves a much better girlfriend but I just don't agree, Taiga may be willful and aggressive but people completely forget that she also has good qualities that maybe everyone overlooked because I can't explain it any other way, and for another if Taiga just became a nice and cute girl it would take away from her character and for another the viewer would feel that she's not the same character and it would seem weird, I could understand this if she was the main villain, but Taiga isn't the villain, Taiga has become more likeable over time and yet her character remains, I appreciate that this show develops the side characters who are very nice but I have to say that the two main characters drag the show the most, but I admit that it perfectly shows how young people can behave when they are in love, they make crazy decisions. Characters 8/10 Story 8/10 Animation 8/10 Overall I rate 8/10

Mixed Feelings

Well-written

There are two kinds of camps I have seen when it comes to people who dislike this show. Some will watch the first couple of episodes and just find not to like it, which is somewhat understandable. But then worse fate is being part of the group who watches the show and enjoys it just to have it ruined by the ending.

In a way, I feel like alot of the people who say the ending is fine or even good are on huge doses of copium because they enjoyed the show like I did. I wont spoil it here, but trust me when I say ... it feels very dumb and not well written.

Despite that this show has a cast of likeable and unique characters, so its not the worst thing in the world. without the ending I would call this a solid 7.5/8

Title: Toradora!

Story

I got up to the 10th episode before I had to drop the anime. Up to that point, nothing relevant or exciting happened. There were no cliffhangers, no developments, and it was so boring that I almost fell asleep multiple times. With Taiga, we have a psychopath as the main character, and Ryuuji, also a main character, who is not interesting at all and lets everything slide. Why he helps someone who constantly treats him so miserably is beyond words. The supporting characters were also boring, monotonous, and devoid of any empathy.

Characters

I don't want to write about each one. But I found the characters ... boring, one-dimensional, superficial, or even catastrophic.

Music

I only liked the ending.

Animation and Character Design

It was okay but nothing special.

Conclusion

Please don't put yourself through this. The story and the characters are pure torture. It has so many logic problems and is unsurpassed in its boredom.
