| Ok so I am a romantic at heart even if it is with a tsundere. I marathoned this series after hearing that it was good. I instantly fell in love with Taiga and the entire cast. they all had there roll to play and it was done very well. Loved the final when it came to the Kiss. My one regret is the year that Taiga and Ryujji spent appart. Still do not get why she had to leave. Yes there is the Mom and family but still She had been on her own for so long and Ya-chan always considered her a part of there family. I get it though blood is thinker then water ... Like some posted here I wish that there could have been a kiss between Taiga and Ryujji at the end of the series. At least I know at that point that they were together and that there could be a happely ever after ... At least in my mind. That said I think I gave the series an 8 .. Well done Great to follow and great characters. |

At least in my mind. quote] I think that its pretty obvious that Ryujji and Taiga end up together. I mean, he did confess his love and rather than ending it with a standard kiss she headbutts him! Thats why the ending was so uniquely Toradora. And now that they're graduated, theres no reason why they couldn't get married like they planned to. |
| Let this be our little secret, no needs to know we're feeling HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER! |
| just finished it, i almost dropped it at the begining but i'm kind of glad i didn', i just think that they could have changed the final, to me and for most of the peoploe it was the obvious thing that would happen, but is still good after all. good anime 8/10 |
| So this had been on my 'to watch' list for long enough, it was only when I saw the r/anime Toradora Christmas Club thing that I decided to blast through it! While this last episode was a little anti-climactic I enjoyed it none the less. The whole series was a truly enjoyable ride and I haven't been blind-sided by an anime like this since I watched A Certain Magical index! Thoroughly recommendable and would use this as an entry show to get someone into anime! |

| cute ending imma miss this anime :( |

Well done Great to follow and great characters. She probably left because she saw yaa-chan reconcile with her parents, so she probably thought she should do the same. I really liked this show, for different reasons than other people, it reminded me of my teenage years so much, years I miss to this day, the days of just hanging with friends and doing stupid things. I gave it an 8 and I'm glad my GF introduced me to this (I was skeptical at first because I don't enjoy SoL Romance/Comedies very much) but I have to say I really really enjoyed it. I think that's why I liked it so much too it reminded me of when I was a teenager |
|
| Even though I don't see a reason why Taiga would run away . This was amazing . 10/10 Will deff re-watch someday |
 |
| awesome anime ... <3 |
 |
| At first I couldn't explain why she left, but now I kind of understand. Still, I didn't like it. She was part of a real family now, so she should have just stayed there with Ryuuji and Ya-chan. Her parents were jerks and didn't deserve a second chance. Anyway, overall it was an enjoyable anime. The first half was mediocre, but things took a nice spin in the second half. |
| Great anime, sad that I finished it so quickly. Probably my favorite romance anime at the moment I really hope there isn't a second season, the ending is fine as it is |
 |
| Nice ending! Good to see an anime I can finally leave comfortablly ,even if Minorin had to experience losing Takasu one too many times. Don't worry Minori you r still loved! (by your friend Ami of course... Heeey, we could finally have that Ami x Minorin ending that she considering back at the end of season 1, lol) Now that I'm content, I feel the polar opposite than when I finished Angel Beats. Damm you AB for being too good for too short DX!! Edit: Now there was another moment, while it wasn't supposedly my favorite, that definitely memorable. Now this is coming from a guy, but I thought that first dry 'peck' of a kiss was the most moe as heil thing I've seen male character do! ^-^ props to Takasu! |

| On my 3rd rewatch of the series. One the best (my favorite) anime couples. Plus all the other greatness. Edit: well 2 days later (lol) finished and it still damn near made me cry a few times. Still well deserved in the top 5. |

| Good anime but even tho I enjoy highschool romances genre and things of that sort, I always get pissed off at the MC for picking the obvious choice at the end. I would've much rather seen a Ami x Ryuuji ending because she has really grown has a character and it's way more fun to see her interactions with Ryu than Taiga.. Anyway 8/10 for me. |
 |
| Taiga, Minori and Ami where all wonderfull characters in each way as you get to know them. But Taiga really toke my heart away when she first realized her feelings for Ryuuij. Wish there where more screen time of Ryuuji and Taiga as a couple. Loved it 10/10 |
 |
| Thoughts about the episode first: I liked the ending although it was a little weird. I wish they'd given some solid closure as to why Taiga decided to be away for a year and live with her mom. Maybe she wanted to give her a chance - at least that's what I'd like to think. I'm glad that Yasuko made up with her parents and Ryuuji got to spend some time there. The whole eloping thing was a little weird but I'm glad they went back together. Kinda wish Minori and Ami got more closure. Kitamura will probably see the former student council president when he gets to America. The end scene with Taiga and Ryuuji was soo sweet! I LOVED that they repeated the lines that they opened the show with. I really like when shows do that. Her hiding in the closet was funny and it was a nice surprise to see her act tsundere again. Again, I'm fine with Ryuuji x Taiga but what about my poor Ami haha Toradora! became one of my favorite anime. This is exactly how romance/comedy/slice of life should be done. I had a smile on my face throughout the series. The writers are geniuses. The variety of the natures of the characters is what makes this show work so well. The BGM was also great and I can't wait to listen to the OST. I'm going to read the light novels once I have the chance. EDIT: Making this edit after completing the light novels. I must say, if anyone really enjoyed this series and wanted more, DEFINITELY read them. The ending is a lot cleaner and actually slightly different than what was adapted for the anime. I actually loved the ending in the LN a lot more. There were also a few little added things that they weren't able to incorporate - this is true for any adaptation of course. Truly a wonderful series! I'm looking forward to watching Golden Time in Fall 2013 since it's done by the same author. |

| Loved the anime form the beginning but the ending kinda ruined it for me with the whole marriage thing and it also felt really rushed 8/10 |
| YAAAAAAACHAAAAAAAAN! I LOVE YOU!!! :)))) XD |
| Just curious, overall compare to the LN is there many significant difference ? |
| Keep moving forward |
| well i just love nothing else i can say :) 10/10 Only sad thing is because they didn't show how they get married and still i hope they will release ovas to cover that one day only thing is left for us hope,no Mather what i still love it :). P.S after watching toradora psp taiga ending it satisfy me fully alas i still hope for ova :D. |

| Honestly, does Ryuuji ever end up going to college? He never turned in his career paper, because he ran off to talk to Ami, IIRC. Also, I didn't like the ending much. I always want more than what people end it off with. Always. |
| I approve of this series |
 I love you. |
| Taiga's family are a right bunch of fuckers. Ending was slightly rushed, but ultimately satisfying. I wish Ami was developed a bit more though. I'll give it an 8/10 for being my fav. rom/com. |

| I'm glad almost everything was cleared up (and no open ending), but these last two episodes were really rushed. There were also a lot of unnecessary parts like the whole thing about Ryuuji's mother. It came out of nowhere and I really had no idea why this was necessary to put it in here. The other was Taiga abruptly leaving. I mean I get that she probably wants to give her mother another chance or something, but that could have been easily cut out. And if she believes in Ryuuji then he would have deserved to be told about this face to face. The other parts of the ending was nice though. I'm very glad for the cute kiss and the wedding-play. They are adorable together :) Now for the whole thing. Where should I begin? I didn't like the love triangles or love squares or whatever that came out of this. The basic setup of Taiga and Ryuuji liking two different people and finally getting together wasn't a bad idea. But imo they shouldn't have focused on these for like ~22 episodes and finally give us a rushed getting together between the two. The first half was much better, it didn't have any problem. But the second half was really irritating with all the drama and everyone confessing/fighting/lying/being depressed and the constant changing of these. They really should have stop the focusing on everyone loving everyone near the half of it and just start building the two's relationship. The characters (apart from the main two) were annoying as hell most of the time. Kitamura was ridiculously dull, no idea why Taiga liked him. He should have just rejected Taiga in the beginning, since he obviously didn't like her anymore. Ami is a lying, egoistical and fake bitch who constantly hurt everyone (I have no idea why people would like her, I can understand the hate for Taiga, but the like for Ami? No.) She didn't change one bit, except being a bit kinder. Minorin was a bit better, because she just didn't want to hurt Taiga, but she was still very similar to Ami in the sense that she was always putting on a facade then go all depressed then starting over again for a lot of episodes. I'm gonna put here what I wrote in a previous episode that sums up Ami and Minorin: Taiga and Ryuuji were obviously very good characters and I had no significant problems with them. Their relationship from the beginning (as equals) was done very well and I'm glad they ended up together. I really have no idea though why people say that it was unpredictable that they would end up together. Have you guys ever read the title of the show? I think that made it pretty obvious, especially since it was constantly hinted on since the beginning. Anyway, these two characters and their cute relationship is what made me like this show a lot, but it's a damn shame that it wasn't as well-developed as I hoped it would be (what I said above). So all in all: Great comedy, good, but too much unnecessary drama, great first half, not so great second half, great main couple/relationship and annoying other main characters/relationships. Overall it was an enjoyable series, but it im my opinion it failed to keep the focus on the most important relationship and drawn out the traingles/squares for far too long. It gets a 7/10 from me. |

| Best Romance so far i think this is going to be 9/10 or 10/10 if only 9.5 is useable i think ill give it a 10 this is my second 10/10 anime in my anime list i often put 9/10 for all anime and 5/5 for all ep will season 2 be posible? |
| Love this one. I don't watch much romance anime like this, I pick this because I saw a cutseen form the series which show taiga holding ami's bloodly head O-o. I thought this was a yandere stuff xD. Suck me right in from the beginning. The art, the the character, the ost ( love ed 1 and op 2, op 1 kinda wierd but i can't stop listen to it xD ). Plot is amazing, ending is awesome espeacialy the kissing sceen ( not just 1 but 4~ kisses :"> ). For me, this one get 9/10 |
| The love story is complicated. But it turns out to be a very vell ending. Yui Horie opening song and ending song so cuteeeee! :3 Love them so much. The episode when ryuuji and ya-chan some kind fight it made me drop tears also, so emotionally :''' Love it, 9/10 |
| Pretty satisfying ending to wrap it up, 9/10. |
| The ending is appropriate for their age I guess. I kinda had a little problem with the kiss between them. Most likely because Aisawa looks like a kid... #Pedophile HAHAHA |
 |
| Normally I prefer action vs. the whole SoL/Romance (sometimes action/romance), so I wasn't sure whether or not I was gonna like this. But, I was really glad I did watch it. There were so many times where I actually laughed out loud (Inko LOL) and the emotional scenes were very well done. Taiga's character design (physically) made here loveable regardless of the situation to me. The ending could've been elaborated on, but oh well. 9/10 for me. |

| Don't take it bad,but i was hoping that Taiga would left him.. I mean he would be alone and would try again with Minorin or even with Kawashima. Because i didn't liked Taiga,it wasn't hate but i don't know,i was expecting to see Ryuuju and Minorin as a couple in the end :D |
