I hate most of the memes nowadays, but I don't have any better word for it:
Well, that escalated quickly.
The episode was way too fast. I'm really happy for Taiga and Ryuuji, but the whole thing felt really rushed and weird.

First, about Taiga and Ryuuji. I'm so happy they finally got together, even though it was in a pretty weird way :) And now they wanna get married :D I also liked how Ryuuji outright told his grandparents that Taiga is his wife :D

Ryuuji, why are you being an ass with your mother? Idiot... He is somewhat right about parents wanting to "force their dreams/failures on the children", but all she really wanted here was for him to have a happy and safe life. And now she ran away... I hope she will be alright :/
Taiga's mom is an ass, nothing more to say.

I guess I'm a little sad for Minorin and Ami, but it really was about damn time.

Btw, did they really just take Minorin's money and the other stuff they got? They really shouldn't have >_>

Watch the next episode, though also rather fast, it will fix some of the problems you have. And it also has something else special... but I'm not going to spoil it for you =).

Such a brilliant episode. Seriously loved it. Seen no single episode with this much awesomeness (maybe I have).

Taiga as a bride - AWESOME! They both look so awesome together.

Just marry now. Now Kiss!

It seems that you guys are ok with this episode,but i'm not.
So first of all i hate that Ryuuji and Taiga will be together,beucase i was so exicted the whole anime to see the declartion of Ryuuji to the Minorin,it was the best thing.
And then he discovers he loves taiga?dafuq?
Why?as he said he was in love more than 1 year with Minorin,and then in a few weeks/months he falls in love with taiga?The same to taiga....how they change so fast their mind so fast?
Love is something you live with,it's not a pair of socks you change everyday....
And from what i understood Kawashima loves Ryuuji too?

Heartbreaking.. really touching.
I feel so sad for Minori and Ami.. although the outcome is clear from the start.
Suddenly giving up on Minori and go for Taiga.. hard to take that in. (I like taiga too it's just..)
Minori and that indirect kiss.. how my heart ache. *sobs*
Ami is really strong.. she's awesome.

PS: I somehow feel weird when they just took their friends belonging like that.

BAAKA :) they did not change their mind so fast, have u ever heard about growing apart, it happens specially when u can't spend time to the 1 u love & spending it with some1 else (mostly it happens with long distant relationships, but sometimes it happens when ur closer to), & in this case it was Taiga & Ryuuji, they were together a lot & second they learned about each-other a lot & Ryuuji was so caring person it was impossible for her to not to fall for him, & Taiga was like some1 who needs protecting & help & so Ryuuji wanted to protect her & help her & so he did, & this are strong emotions what lead to love, & second what Ryuuji felt for Minori mite not have peen real love, it mite have peen school kids crush & admiration (same goes for Taiga), people ton't always know their own feelings & sometimes they mix up feelings, think before u post :)

if u ton't like were this i going that's ur problem, not trying to convince u to like it, but i'm just pointing out mistakes in ur statement :)

Seeing Yasuko cry ans argue with Ryuuji breaks my heart :( I feel soo sooo bad

Other than that though, I love this episode even with the rushed proposal :)

When the parent showed up, I though «Fuck, they messed up the confession», then I realised that they still confessed, THEN I realised that they fucked up the rest of their adolescence. Taiga mother (was it her step-mother...?) really looked like a huge bitch. Still, I forgive Yasuko because she really tried her best to be a mother to Ryuugi.

The scene in the beginning was really great, Minorin have finally been able to tell her true feeling. Seeing her break up later was the only possible outcome of what happenned during the series.

The scene on the bridge was really cute and funny. Sad though that that phonecall ruined the moment.

It think they made the right choice. It may seem excessive, but it was the only way they could move on. He alreasy adress to her as is wife, quite a relief from the episode before :P

I feel also bad for Minorin and Ami. I think both have feels for Takasu. And when Minorin was crying gosh it was heartbreaking. I don´t want that someone of them is unhappy.

I´m really curious what will happen in the next episode. So far Toradora is awesome. :)

Man what a fucking disaster... I feel sorry for Ryuuji, only because he's really stupid as Ami says. You have smart, beautiful and mature Ami (being popular etc. are just plus, she'd still the best out of bunch without that); or even sympathetic, energetic Minori; yet you refuse all of them cling and go that far for annoying immature spoiled brat who treats you like a shit. She might've improved slightly by time, but her core still remains unpleasantly same.

But the most stupid and unforgivable part was where he said those words to Yasuko, he better make up with her somehow in final episode.

There should have been more time taken for this enormous event. The confessions were the climax of the entire story. It took so long to get to this point that it's a shame that they didn't give it enough time. All of this is very good to me but it could have been a million times better if they hadn't wasted so much time on their other love interests in the beginning of the anime and Taiga being a violent psychopath.
I would have enjoyed this anime a lot more if they had sped through the beginning and then took their time from the class trip to now.

Minorin being Minorin in the beginning *sigh* Confessing her true love just by the way (she wasn't able to do that before) and happily telling Taiga that she wanted her to have him, saying happiness is something everyone has to find alone yet she still wants to wait for Taiga's decision? She sends Takasu after Taiga just minutes after? She managed to contradict herself in first two minutes *clap*clap* She is definitely the most inconsistent character of this show. At least we finally got to know what her dream is.

I somehow understand Yasuko though, even Taiga's mother who still thinks of her as child and wants to put her into her golden cage to guard her from any pain. But both of them came very conveniently just in the moment when Taiga was preparing to confess her feelings to him. Well, not that it matter. LOL at Taiga pushing him down the bridge in the next scene while she was freaking just minute before when he was talking about wishing not being born. Though I have to say their (not)confession in the freezing water was kinda funny.

The surprising part here was that he never saw his mother's parents. Was there a reason why? Not even as child or when his father died? I simply don't get it.

But as much as I like this series (well, actually not much lately) I find their plain pretty childish. You can say they ARE still children and I wouldn't mind actually but they wanted to play adults all the time yet they are acting even worse. They could be kicked out of school. They made many worries for their parents. And their solution to this situation is to get married even when they don't know what that means (he is literally running himself into the same life Yasuko regrets).

Why this series is getting this bad with those finishing episodes when it was so good before? Are they just rushing it?
That frustration when you realize this show is rated as the best love polygon drama out there... Is there really nothing better?

FINALLLYYYY!!!!! I noticed some people sad "well that escalated quickly" but in actuality I think this all what we've been waiting before. When you think about it Taiga and Ryuuji have already been unofficially together, I mean when you think back to the very first few episodes people really thought they were a couple, so I don't think this was too dramatic of a pace at all. Though I do think Ryuuji should call Taiga his girlfriend until they do actually get married lol XD

Anyways, loved this episode, loved seeing Ryyuji and Taiga finally confess to each other, loved seeing Taiga so happy and finally getting what she wanted ^-^ The title of the episode fit perfectly! Though I do have to admit I feel a little bad for Yasu and Minorin ): Minorin's wounds will heal over time though and hopefully she'll find another guy, but I do hope Ryuuji will make things right with his mother, I can so relate to that on a personal level and feel so bad that I haven't bothered to make things right with mine.

Also, when Minorin said, "when you run through the halls and trip you get a nosebleed but when you run through life and fall you cry" I was like dang that's deep!! Well that's all for now, looking forward to seeing Ryuuji & Taiga get a bit more intimate in the next episode ;) But also very sad that it'll be over after the next episode qwq

Minorin acting all happy for Ryuuji, even after she confessed, and encouraging him to go for Taiga was so over dramatic... but oh well, it could have seen coming from miles.

Ryuuji saying those words to his mother... that was both painful to watch and unnecessary. I mean unnecessary because why did they put that scene to begin with? Anyway, that was harsh... it was like a bullet to the heard... poor Yasu.

Wait what? Getting married?? wtf is this? Come on Ryuuji...just a couple hours ago you didn't even acknowledged that you liked her.

They plan to run away.... *sighs*... run. away. *facepalm* This is like some adolescent melodrama tv show or something xD

Oh god Minori is crying, finally! She behaves like a human with feelings! This is good actually... it's the most natural reaction I've seen in these last episodes.

Why can't I be happy for them? I mean, the anime is good, it entertained me, made me laugh, think, but... this? I don't know maaan... it's to.... fuck, I'll say it. EDGY!

I don't know why this episode left me with such a bad taste...I don't know if I have any hidden frustration or hate against young stupid couples but this episode... I really disliked it.

I completely agree with you man. You laid down very good points in there.

I feel really bad for Minori. She loses the guy she's liked for quite a while (which means all of the trouble she goes through after she starts having feelings for him seems to be wasted), she loses her best friend, and she gives away her savings that she's worked countless hours at countless jobs to get. It seems everything she really wanted got taken away from her. :\

I"m disappointed that he went with Taiga. It's way too predictable, and running away is a cliche. The next episode is the last, so I hope there is a good ending.

I'm not to dislike a series because my ship sinks but Toradora was one of those exceptions. Hell, I knew Ryuuji and Taiga were going to end up together from the very first episode but... the last episodes felt too forced. I don't know, I didn't like them, at least the parts concerning Ryuuji and Taiga.

I even started hating Ami, but ended up liking her.
In the beginning Minori annoyed me, but I ended up liking her (altho, her decisions are stupid in the last episodes)
Taiga.. I liked her from the start but that kinda changed towards the end... I don't hate her but damn...
Kitamura, I liked him but he lost relevance after his arc with Taiga and the president ended.
Ryuuji... I never disliked him, he was cool but again, his decisions towards the end were very stupid. Not that almost all his decisions weren't but.. you know what I mean.
