I'm 3 episodes in and kind of underwhelmed, does it change much going forward or does the rest of the show follow a similar format to the first three episodes?

If you’re interested in the characters but the plot is boring you then yes continue. If anything else maybe no? You can always come back to it

I say Stick with it. the show is very heartwarming and sweet. the comedy is lighthearted and fun, but I'm always say watch the first 6 episodes of a 24 episode anime ad if you're not enjoying by that point you probably won't like it.

I think it’s definitely worth it at the end! You get more invested into the whole story the more it goes on and it gets much more interesting. I can’t recommend this anime enough!

Exactly what Clare said up there. Like the characters? Keep going! Don't? Don't bother. The characters are the charm really.

Eh if you don’t like the plot direction so far, I’d say just drop it. I pretty much loved every part of the show and wasn’t really ever bored or anything. But it’s not for everyone

I had a similar experience. People claim it to be one of the best Romance anime but I didn't find it that amazing. The main girl was kinda annoying which some people find cute. Maybe it was a great anime for it's time being but for me It's 5/10.

Of course keep watching! The drama arc starts like at the middle of anime, this initial part is most for presentation of plot and characters.

I’d say keep watching. I kept dropping it around episode 6 or 7, but once it got good, I was in for the long haul. Gave it an 8/10 by the end.

I personally didn’t like it. Overall it’s pretty similar and predictable imo.

Yeh I was the same, it gets better especially the last third of the anime. I’d say first 8 ep are a 7/10, then 8/10 for the second third, then 9/10 for the final 8ep

As a few others have stated already, if you can find any sort of interest in the main cast, you'll be able to finish the show. The main group is the charm of the show. (You haven't even seen the final member yet!) I'd say give it a try.

Also, on a side note. 3 episode rule doesn't exist.

Taste differs. I have checked your MAL profile, classic high school romcoms is not your genre. You can opt to drop it, don’t need to force yourself to watch something based on popularity when it is not your genre.

I think you can consider Haiyore Nyaruko instead, there are some similarities to Gintama.

EDIT: Noticed that you are a time-travel fan, you can consider picking up Unnamed Memory, fantasy romance with an emphasis on time-travel.

This is one of my favorite anime, so to have you ask this, reveals that not everyone can handle good anime that is about the story, instead of constant action because they have no patience.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series and judge each based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

The plot is not boring and the show is good.

I really like this one.I was kinda “late” to watch but this was the mould that i needed for romance show.

Little fact-Toradora stands for something like “tiger and dragon”

It's one of the most well developed highschool romance. The pacing and theme are very consistent throughout the whole show. Characters are developed to perfectly follow the story. So I don't think you would see something different.

Great show with bad ending. Not Evangelion or GoT level but really disappointing. But I still recomend this to somebody who love romance. Worth the watch but don’t put to much expectation toward the end. Also, really really recomending Golden Time. From the same author who made the Light novel but the story is much better with one of the best ending in anime

At the end I cry, and the emotion of Emptiness left behind after I finish it was a good feelings for me

i would say it's worth it to keep going. In a 24 episode anime, you should really give it more than just 3 episodes, 6 or so will be a better gauge, with only 3 episodes, you're still only really at the point of learning about the characters. But if you're still not enjoying it after 6 episodes, you can drop it, it may not be for you, imo it's probably my favorite romcom and one of my favorite anime, but thats not how it's gonna be for everyone obviously

Well, this is one of my first anime and to be honest I don’t remember much of the story, but I remember well that I enjoyed it a lot. I’d suggest you to keep watching (even if I don’t remember anything, maybe I’m gonna give it a rewatch)

It follows the same format until the 1st half unless you're a fan of dramatic tension and unnecessary plot twists, the tone dramatically shifts out of nowhere which made me feel... odd. Never really liked Toradora tbh. I just watched it and thought it was just... underwhelming like you said.

I think it gets better. Theirs more plot and plot-twist on the middle of the series . But the last episodes are the best part. I wish I could watch it ones again for the first time

It gets better but if you don’t like it you don’t like it. No need to force yourself to enjoy if you don’t like it.
