Interesting, a field trip. I doubt it's gonna be a Ryuuji-Minori ending.

5 eps left. I doubt Ami will get Ryuuji at this point, though I've only been rooting for it for the last 11 eps. Minorin isn't bad though. But it had better not be a pairing with Taiga. If it is, I'll feel like the entire series was a waste.

... Ryuuji is such an airhead , it's almost obvious that Taiga likes him and that Minori knows it ...

My highlights were...

[...]
- Taiga pulling out that guy's hair while taking a hair clip out.
- Minorin trying to act all cool around Ryuuji but clearly having a hard time.

Watching Taiga rip the hair clip out of... Haruta's hair (I think his name is Haruta?) was also a highlight for me... XD I think she pulled out a bit of his hair when she did get it out... but I wonder if Ryuuji meant for that clip to be for Taiga...? Or was it for Minori, after all?

Also, yup... Watching Minori "try" to act all cool and collected around Ryuuji was kind of amusing, especially when she had the reaction she did to when she grabbed his hand and then pulled back, haha. I do feel bad for Taiga, though... And Ami, actually. Ah, I don't think Ryuuji's "stupid" as Ami keeps telling him... Perhaps we - girls - are just too complicated, haha.

Anyway, I enjoyed the episode... even though it was a sort of 'lead up' episode to something that will probably be more epic. I'm looking forward to the ski trip. :D

I can see it now. Ryuuji tries to confess and reveal his true feelings for Minorin but at the same time autorealizes that the only person suited for his love is none other than Taiga.

So damn cliche it hurts

Im 100% positive something like this is going to happen

That was a lot happening this episode.. so let it just be some highlights:
+both Ami and Minorin make it obvious they like Ryuuji
+Taiga makes Minorin touch him and her reaction to that +++

+once again Toradora! does not follow the standard Anime rule, that a class trip goes to either Kyoto or Okinawa, even if that looked like it at the beginning
+Minorin is Golgo, DONT STAND BEHIND ME orz


Taiga: Grab him
Minori: *grabs Takasu's hand*
Takasu: !!!!
Minori: *Let go of his hand* then blushes
Minori: Don't understimate me!! - *grabs Takasu's sleave*

Aww this scene just cracked me up, it's almost like a fight against her will not to fall for Takasu

I agree that it looks like Taiga will be with Ryuuji in the end. Minori doesn't seem like she wants to be with Ryuuji because of their situation.

Two girls competing with each other to make sure that the other girl ends up with the guy they both like. Woow, das gud.

Way to burn down that hotel, Ryuuji.

Like, wow srsly? The President girl in that Okinawa brochure? That's crushing for Kitamura. I did get a little sad when Ryuuji was talking about how things won't be the same and all his friends won't be together for long. That stuff always gets to me.

Five whole episodes left. What could happen?

I think ami is acting the way she is, because she knows what's happening, and realizes if she tries to fight for Ruiji, she's guaranteed to lose. The only thing she can hope for is that Minorin really messes things over, and then Taiga doesn't try to step into that void. I think at this point Ami's the one trying to protect him, Taiga is trying to push him, and Minorin is who he's being pushed after.

Great catch!!

At the end of this episode, I yelled out "I FREAKING LOVE THIS SHOW" haha

Such a fun episode that had me smiling throughout. Minori and Ryuuji developments were nice and it was cute to see Taiga helping them out in the background like when they were crossing the street.

I guess the winter scenery will be a change from the summer trip that they already took. Can't wait to see what happens. I think I'm more comfortable with Ryuuji and Minori more and more although I prefer Ami. Also I hope they go into why Taiga is able to talk so freely to Kitamura now. Maybe it has something to do with that sequence before the OP?

Lol at how oblivious Ryuji is to Taiga and Ami's feelings. Personally, Minorin is the girl I'd least like to see him end up with, they don't suit each other at all.

I guess it will be MinoriXRyuugi for some episode now. Though, I don't think it will last. I think that Minori will see that Ryuugi have feeling for Taiga and that Taiga suffer from their relation. But anyway, that's just speculation.

Poor Ryuugi, wishing everything burn, then learning the hotel burned, must feel like a fool xD

It wasn't that much of an eventful episode, except the fact that Ryuugi and Minori got closer each other.

It was a bitch move from Ami to show to Kitamura the magazine. But, that's why she's my favorite bitch!

I don't like this harem-ish vibe this anime gives me sometimes. It wouldn't feel harem-ish if Ami wasn't around.

It is very weird how it resembles to my own life and thoughts...almost all the Anime I watch has the same vibes...sometimes we stick so much with all the small details that we forget to see the Big Picture, same here, "Taiga & Ryuuji" needs a thunder bolt to actually realize that they are madly in love with each other...hell maybe even then they'll need an explanatory note to understand it...

Ryuuji really starts annoying me with this his ignorance about Taiga's feelings... I'm kind of glad there's only five episodes left, because everything is going to become clear soon. But on the other hand I wish this anime was longer. I really liked this anime, and especially Taiga character :)

Only 5 episodes left. I better see Ryuuji x Minorin. I will be disappointed if Taiga comes out of this with Ryuuji. But with only 5 eps left it should be really interesting.

All the girls are going to get hurt badly by the end of this. I feel like they all realize each other's feelings, except for maybe Ami's feelings, and are going out of there way to make sure Ryuuji isn't hurt. This is going to backfire in a very volitile way.

The Tsundere has been realized....

Overall this anime has gotten a ton better. The comedy and exchange between the characters is a lot more enjoyable for me now. They've taken a long time to address the brewing attraction Taiga and Ryuuji (obviously) have for each other so this part of the story is long overdue for me. Unfortunately, with most romance anime I've seen, it looks like there won't actually be much, if any, screen time with the two as a couple. I wouldn't be surprised if they finally come to terms with their feelings and confess on the last one or two episodes. But at least the story is finally moving in this direction. OPTIMISM lol

So they pretty much spelled the obvious out for everyone to make sure everyone knows. But it was good episode nonetheless.
I would actually really want the confession to happen but somehow I doubt that would be the case. Something will happen and Ruuji will obviously give precedence to Taiga.

I really think that Taiga being now able to talk with Kitamura casually is sign of her love to be gone.

But Ami is doing herself a bad service cause sometimes she helps them get what they want with her words, forgetting about her own love. I really wonder if she will try her luck again. ED song is really fitting as it's obvious all three of them loves him.
