| Super cute episode. I totally didn't expect Taiga to steal Ami's top, cheap trick XD funny ep, loved it ^.^ |
| Great episode. Next episode is gonna be RyuujixMinori! Liked the race very mutch. TaigaxRyuuji owns and Minori sould get her own show after this :P |
| "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise" |
| and... vacations starts.... I LOVE YOU AMII! |
 |
| I loved the Ryuuji is mine part. It made me smile :] Taiga takings Ami's bikini top was a cheap shot XD Cute ep. |
 Breath|| |
| How was Taiga bad at swimming with legs like that? And yeah, a lot of progression happened in this ep... good to see this early in the series; usually they just filler for half the anime and then the romance finally gets going... like the flinstones' car |
     |
| this is getting good.. so now taiga is starting to know her true feelings.. i bet takasu will still remain blur and hurt taiga's feelings then after that only will he realise his mistake |
 |
| Awesome episode. |
| Baka Bikini, lol, nice episode |
| i guess my comments have already been repeated over and over in this forum but taiga is so cool in the swimming competition!! and i thought she almost confessed to ryuuji. more taigaxryuuji!! |
 |
| Haha, that was crazy. Didn't expect Taiga to play an attack like that. Baka bikini is great too. xD |

| I loved Taiga so much in this episode. Specially saying that Ryuuji was hers <3<3<3 I love her so much. |

I want to add in this episode that Aisaka did express for her character her emotions properly but we are yet to see when she will be honest with words. |

| Awhh, Toradora is amazing. I'm always expecting a little less but bam, I'm caught admiring every episode! I loved Taiga claiming Ryuuji to be hers, too cute. <3 |
 |
| While I thought it was a great episode, I was also very disappointed at the same time. I wish they stuck to the novel a bit better, but I'll take what I can get. The dynamic between Ryuuji and Taiga was as great as always. I don't think it neccesarily means that they will become a couple though nor do I want them to. Relationships comes in many forms so it seems to me that this episode emphasize how their friendship has grown from what orignally was a helping each other with their crush type relationship. Last but not least, Minorin is still and always love~ <3 Needs more of her :D |

| This has to be the best episode I've seen from Toradora! The whole swimming contest was epic. Taiga was so brave and funny. Not to mention the whole bikini scene. ;D I'm so glad she realized that she likes Ryuuji. Now we have to wait and see what happens. |
[ ♥ ] Me and Yuusei; we's like peas and carrots~ [ ♥ ] |
| great episode.... that was nearly a confession.... But I must admit this is really a very original episode with fresh humor! |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I LUV THE WAY SHE SCREAMED AND CRY! XD THAT WAs JUST AWSOME! i was somewhat... moved O_O |
 |
| wow i can't believe u ppl.. u can stil like taiga after she does something dirty like that?? ^^;; darn, she's worst than louisse. at least louisse tries her best when it counts.. ami is getting cuter.. looking forward to the next episode at ami's summer house~ |
| nice epi taiger vs ami was fun nice bikini plan RYUUJI WA WATASHI WA.....jeje +1 for taiga....poor ami she dosnt stand a chance....hehe looking forward to next epi |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Mmmhhh..... frankly speaking: I didnt like the end of this episode at all! Taiga can not swim. She needs rubber rings, water wings etc. and has problems to put her head under water. But when Ryuuji is knocked out, she suddenly mutates to a female version of Baywatch hero "David Hasselhoff" (I felt a deep urge to mention him....yes, Im german). :P So she somehow dived down to him, and managed to bring him up and out of the pool? Dont be silly..... Afterwards she cries her heart out screaming that he belongs to her and no one should dare to touch him. What if his lungs were filled with water and he needed reanimation? Taiga would have killed him with her stubborn behaviour. When I saw this scene I made the exact same facial expression as Ami: As some of you already mentioned, I also think that Minori und Yuusaku need way more screentime. Otherwise they will not be more relevant to the show than these two guys:  But I like them, since the question "Why is it always Ryuuji" is qualified! :P |
 |
| I knew that Taiga was going to come out and some something like that at some point, i just didn't think it would be this soon in the show, so that was a shocker there (to me anyway). I'll be curious to see how their relationship goes from here on. |
 |
| Taiga is an awesome character. For a little while Minorin was just a bit higher but the last 3 episodes Taiga is straight up there in my favorite characters list. It was really great when she went back and saved Ryuuji and she sat on him screaming 'He's mine!'. Taiga = lots of <3 ^_^ |
"Thousands have lived without love, not one without water." -Wystan Hugh |
| A declaration of ownership... so like her... then again, Ami's character is my type of pet peeve... And sneaky Minori... always surprising people like that to go into weirdo mode. |
If you were to accurately measure the time I've spent watching anime and reading manga, I think MAL would break down. |
| Actually a good episode. I guess people were right in saying if you drop your expectations and just simply watch and enjoy, its a good series. |

     |
| I loved this episode from start to finished! |
| Go Watch Sumomo momo Its epic. It has not gotten much attention... Episode 1 http://www.veoh.com/videos/v83597095dreGdW#comments  |
| I don't think Ami-chan is seriously interested in Ryouji because she said she uses guys for her own good something like that. I've never thought of her as a rival. |
Rebella said: I don't think Ami-chan is seriously interested in Ryouji because she said she uses guys for her own good something like that. I've never thought of her as a rival. i think she's just having fun teasing them ^^ Ryuuji won't do her any good anyways.. except scare away perverts/stalkers XD |
| hahas . wahhs . this anime is getting more && more exciting : hahas . hope tiga get together wit ryuji (: hahas . xD |
 |
| meh they should just stay with the original taiga kitamura, ryujji kushieda (or ami xD) i'm not exactly warming up to the whole dog to boyfriend evolution, it kinda rubs me in the wrong way. I'm just hoping taiga and ryuji don't end up together |
 MAL list updates |
| Baka Chihuahua with her Baka Bikini xD Very nice episode :D Looking forward to the next one |
| Yay nice. Finally Taiga showed some real feelings for Ryuuji. :3 |
| haha well it was funny !!! haah well like this anime ! haha |
 My candies:     |
| Great episode with a very nice development too ! I still like Kushieda and Kawashima more than Taiga, but well... |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Great episode. Taiga just attacking Ami in the pool was hilarious. Good fun in the whole episode. |
| Excellent Episode! "Ryuuji is mine", I love the Mini Tiger! |
 |
lightychan said: I agree this is great series.Tsundere!!!!! I am loving this show even more :) |
 |
| LMAO at taiga's dirty tactics! and kugimiya rie crying is WIN. i hope taiga doesn't start brandishing a magic wand if she really wants to keep on using that "dog" excuse for takasu though. and as for takasu, all i can say is - WHAT A MASOCHIST. and takasu's mom could have said her advice better with less words: "takasu, taiga's a tsundere!" that's all there is to it XD |

| Awww, Taiga showed her real feelings....sort of :3 |
 |
| good antics, funny episode, but i'm not digging ryuji x taiga at all. i might've liked taiga more if i hadn't already seen shana, louise and nagi. but i feel like she's just a lame mix of those three, with no redeeming qualities. so now it's like same old, same old. give taiga some hair-dye, introduce some dragons and wizards and suddenly it's lamer version of ZnT. But I do dig Ami and Minorin a lot though. i like the show, but i'm watching it for them. I think they're much more interesting characters. i'll give this show a lot more respect if it doesn't go the standard ryuji x taiga route. |
| Oh how I love thee Toradora! Once again, I can't wait to see your next episode. Summer vacation = fanservice? I'm game! |
| I actually felt like this episode was a cop-out after Taiga practically confessed, but then changed the meaning later on. It feels like it's trying to artificially lengthen the show. I think it would have been a good mix-up to have them get together early on and have this act lead to interesting situations later on. Other than that, it was a good episode. |
