Comedy fillers are good sometimes especially during the last few episodes of the anime . |

This OVA reminded why I placed Toradora! as my fave anime. I never expected it to be an OVA after story because I haven't seen something like that yet lol but I'd rather watch a comedy filler like this because these episodes are the reason why I love Toradora! so much :D NEED. TO. RE. WATCH. SERIES. HNGGGGG |

Kiev said: Well.. I'm not too sure what i should be saying here, watching this ova brings back memories of all the characters and indeed it was a sweet ending. It probably took place somewhere in between the episodes.. I was hoping to see some extra stuffs such as ryuuji and taiga's wedding or some sort, or maybe some extra side story to minori, ami or maybe kitamura. I really loved these characters. Although all that did not happen but still i liked this episode alot. Anybody noticed how minori frowned for a split second there when taiga was saying how she liked ryuuji's normal bento perfectly fine? It's nice to see minori showing her true hidden feelings once in awhile. <img src="http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy115/cloudzz123/minori1.jpg" /> I was gonna post pretty much exactly that ^^^. Both comments were pretty much exactly what I was going to type myself. I was expecting something else from it, but that doesn't mean that it was bad, it just wasn't what I was hoping for. That tiny little half-second frown that Minori makes at about 15:15 into the OVA was a good addition. Seems insignificant on the surface but a lot was said in those 0.5 secs :D |

great ova , it reminds me how much i loved toradora. I didn't expect it to be some kind of epilogue since i never seen one from an OVA. I guess the last scene took place after the series for me it's the epilogoe eventhoug it's short but it's nicely done. |

I think a lot of people are confused regarding the timeline of this episode. This episode takes place after the ending of the TV series with mostly flashback of the time taking place during the middle of the series. It starts with Taiga preparing bento for their Sakura viewing and this takes place after the ending of the TV series. After the OP credits it is a flashback of the time Ryuuji making bento very seriously. After the flashback the episode ends with them going Sakura viewing with Taiga bringing the bento she was making in the beginning of the episode and this part also takes place after the TV series. It's obvious the opening scene takes place after the TV series since Taiga is being seen in an apartment different from the one where she used to live during the TV series. There was also a voiceover from Ryuuji during the opening scene stating about the day Ryuuji understood the importance of bento and so this suggests that it is a flashback after the OP credits. Sakura trees were blooming and Taiga left during their 2nd school year winter, suggesting the ending scene takes place during spring after their graduation which is further supported by the Taiga x Ryuuji moment seen in the ending. |

My sister flipped out when I texted her the Toradora OVA was out. I think she got home in record time. I saw it too, and was very pleased. |

I loved it as any Toradora episode, it was funny and all (could have been better if it was an epilogue or show us Taiga and Ryuuji's couple life) but I still want my Minori spin-off T___T God hear my prayers. I felt so bad when I saw Minori's face at the restaurant, it really shows that she liked Ryuuji since way back (and how she wished for him to make bentos for her). |

Weirdly, I enjoyed it a lot, but it doesn't change it from being bad and disappointing. |

It wasn't bad but I expected something else, I'd hoped for more Taiga x Ryuuji but I guess it's my fault for expecting to much. Overall it was a good OVA. |

tsuntsunrage said: Yes, it's after they kissed in the TV series. Everyone is teasing Taiga in regards to that. i think the scene in the end where Taiga-tachi have a lunch together is when Taiga Ryuuji have a romance relationship... ? Taiga is essentially a person that would never dare to do much in public on her own. You would have to kiss her to do that, she would never less there is no one or no one is watching. That being said Ami and Minori were teasing her for that reason precisely. They knew Ryuuji and her kissed. IMO. Did I detect Minori in the spoiler |

No, most of the scenes in this episode are essentially flashback that happened in between the series. The timeline should be like this: Taiga making lunch (present) --> flashback of ryuuji having a bento fight with kitamura's oba-san( somewhere in between the series) ---> Taiga done with the bento and brought it to meet with the rest of the crew (present). |

I miss this show so much ;_; I've noticed people are disappointing in this. I mean, it was a typical Blu Ray extra episode. They never said anything about it being some alternate ending or anything, That was just rumours made up by fans, and those rumours ruined something you probably would have enjoyed otherwise. A shame. |

I had more the impression it was right after the kiss but before the whole finalization of the transfer thus why Taiga had her uniform as to opposite of the black one.Yumekichi11 said: tsuntsunrage said: Yes, it's after they kissed in the TV series.

It was a nice episode, I missed the characters. Minori scenes win. Yumekichi11 said: Yeah I think it's as Kiev said, because when the series finished they finished highschool, Taiga appears at the end of the graduation (last scene).Kiev said: They mished mashed the timeline?

Funny episode. People obviously had high expectations from it (myself included), we really just want to see the characters further down the timeline. They maybe should've worked with the light novel author and tell some sort of story set after the series, but I guess you can't please everyone. |

Why was there so little screen time for the best female, Ami? The rice cooker part was great though. Wonder why he couldn't ask to cook it in the teacher's lounge or something... though it would still be ludicrous. |

Ah, I missed this show. Nostalgia when I heard the OP! Ryuji trying to "beat" Okimura's grandma at cooking bento. He took it a little too seriously didnt he? The rice cooker in the middle of class went a little too far! xD He was only doing it for his own pride instead of making the person happy. The end was very cute when she fed him. I do wonder where in the timeline this OVA took place though. I'd really like to see a season two, but I don't think it'll ever come. =( |

The ova yes indeed did not meet up to the expectations of a lot of people, but hey, what else could you expect from a story that has ended already? The novel's done, and the anime perfectly brought out what the novel has to offer and this ova itself is really a good complimentary piece of the anime. |

You gave the anime series a 6/10 which means you didnt much care for it in the first place. Go ahead and inflate the scores of the anime you like all you want, but it's pathetic to cripple all the other series that didn't suite your taste so harshly. |
