Ami was definitely being a super bitch. Trying to provoke Minorin that hard. The cat fight was pretty epic though, lol.
AND OMG even though Taiga confessed while she was half knocked out, I hope things starting moving toward their relationship, because I'm tired of them chasing after people that either don't return their feelings, or just don't belong together. I'm totally waiting on things to truly get exciting.
I think that both Taiga and Minorin sacrifices themselves; it's just a matter of time and coincidences until one of them will eventually give in to their feelings... in this story, Taiga ofcourse, the heroin of Toradora!
Retro8bit said: Excellent episode. I would never have thought to see the day when Minori and Ami would fist fight. Well the cat is out of the bag now...Tiaga likes Ryuuji!
I thought her confession was cute even if she did it unconsciously
This episode def felt nothing like the other episodes, it felt more like a thriller anime than a comedy/romance anime...
Nice to see Minori beating up Ami, I freaking hate that bitch! She's just a sore loser who's jealous that Ryuuji doesn't like her but she's too scared and too sissy to risk the chance to confess to him -_- But she does always speks like she knows eveything, trying to ruin the mood for everyone around her. Just who is fake, btch? >.<
Some well placed drama took place this episode. I loved the fight between Ami-Chan and Minori. Ami-Chan obviously won that; she got the last liver blow (Ippo style!)
Taiga... well, it was inevetible. Better doing it unknowingly than in some cliche way. ^^
Although it was obvious from the beginning, it still ends up being a little bit of a shock. I guess that shows how well this show was executed. I can't wait for the end now, I'm prepared...I think. ^^
OMG OMG OMG! So Minorin and Ami were fighting over Ryuuji? and I kinda figured after the Christmas episode that Taiga liked Ryuuji, but that accidental confession was amazing!!! I can't wait to see what happens next!!!
Be thankful for those you have near who are dear
For time is not always kind to those who would be on your mind
Seize the day, some exclaim, but that which is past, no more shall have its day.
Man, Kitamura's got it easy! He could easily pick that one red-head side-character and be SET with no prob! But Ryuuji has a too-tight friendship with Taigi, a long-time crush on Minorin, and he can't choose either without pissing of Ami! Ryuuji you playa!
But come on! Kitamura's a good guy! Just let him GET SOME!!
End confession by Taiga blew my mind...was not expecting it!
I think Ami was pushing it a lot but it was nice to finally see Minori stop acting air-headed and carefree and put some force behind her words (and fists!). I'm still not sure how I feel about Ryuuji x Taiga
-Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place?
-Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
Thank god, finally! About damn time :D I love how Taiga accidentally confessed. I can't wait to see how things will unfold now. I hope they can close the other relationships soon.
I had a lot of problems with the episode though.
Really? The obvious distorted fence with a sledge trace in front of it was very hard to notice when they were 5 meters away from it... I know it was somewhat needed for the drama, but really? >_>
The other one was Ami and Minorin's fight. I find it funny how a fake bitch like Ami calls Minorin a fake bitch. Ami should just die. Minorin was somewhat understandable, but she is faking just like the other idiot. She should just tell her feelings to Ryuuji or whatever. It's just so annoying. You would think that the tsundere (Taiga) would be the one who would have the hardest time to confess yet she confessed in the 1st/2nd episode or so to Kitamura...
Agh episode hit right in the feels. The fights between Ami and Kushieda were really intense. The ending was also really exciting and that confession came out of nowhere. Overall, great episode.
The other episode when Taiga fought the Prez was intense but this takes the cake. Ami has been talking in Minori's ear for a while now and making her feel bad but Minori keeps acting like nothing happened or she doesn't know what is going on. I'm so happy that fight happened. If not for that Ryuuji would never have known that Taiga loves him since he is pretty dense as well when it comes to himself. Thank God for Ami.
Taiga may be my favorite character but Ami is definitely the best! She is just so awesome!
That confession at the end was so kawaii! GO TAIGA GO!!! :D
"Relying on someone, helping each other out, and supporting each other. Most would say that's the right thing to do. However, that's just idealistic. In reality, someone always gets the short end of the stick"
Well, I think it's pretty obvious where this is going now. I guess in the end Ryuugi will choose Taiga.
The ending was really cute, seeing the Tiger piggy ride on the Dragon.
I'm happy Minorin and Ami fighted, I was getting tired of Minori faking indifference toward Ami talk.
I really though the boys would witness some sexy things in the closet :P

[drama intensifies]
Kitamura & bros are the best. No catfights between them!
I usually dislike Ami, but her confrontation was oh so necessary. Her arrogant look of disgust @ Kushieda was chilling.
Taiga's confession felt a little lazy, but I can't wait to see what happens next.
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."
Shit just got real. Minori and Ami argue over Ryuuji, and the next day it turns into a full on fist fight. Then Taiga gets lost in a blizzard. The episode ends with Ryuuji rescuing Taiga, and Taiga, talking in her sleep, says that she loves Ryuuji.
I can guess that Ryuuji is going to realize that he is also in love with Taiga near the end, right?
i love how in the beginning i had so much respect for ryuuji and hated taiga, at this point in the series -havent finished it yet- all the respect i had for ryuugi is switching to taiga and the hate for taigo now for ryuugi...
