| Beat me to creating by a min. D: Haha. Anyways, I love their silly little plan in the basketball scene. Lol @ their faces after they got misunderstood. Poor pole getting bullied and beaten up by the two. XD Taiga finally got to confess! And aww she was so cute stuttering. But yay Tiger x Dragon. :D I'm still liking how it's being adapted so far even though I think some parts were taken out..? -can't remember well- I'll need to rewatch this~ |

I havent watched it yet, just got the raw right now and DLing. I'm still loving the ED song. Yui Horie ftw. Ok now that I watched the whole episode differences between anime and manga: Taiga carries her own cookies first and drops them out of the window, Taketsu gives her his cookies. Taketsu and Tiaga are chased by the police after they bent the street pole. Taketsu was present when Tiaga was throwing her tantrum about them going out. Thats about it I think. I was surprised at how fast they are moving. No more manga chapters are covered after this one :0. On another note: Toki o Kakeru Shōjo reference :D  |

| Soo after getting to rewatch, there really was a lot of difference. O_O They covered around chapters 3 - 11 all in this one ep. Sorta disappointed since the first ep went great. So I got the impression they'd cover most of the manga. Oh well, it was still enjoyable~ :D But I gotta say, I find the OP to be pretty catchy. <3 I kept replaying it. XD Do want: full version. |

| Did they just do the first volume of the novel in merely 2 episodes...??? What the hell. At least WRYYYYYYYYYY was fun |
| So fast! All was funny! |
| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| Very catchy op, it was missing some Manga scenes but Thumbs up. |
 |
| the OP was ok for me but i still like the ED more. i didnt read the manga or the novel so i dont know how fast they are, but at least for me it didnt really feel like rushed. |
     |
| I felt like since they covered the whole first volume in 2 episodes, the build up wasn't really there. I mean it just felt longer in the novel. A lot was cut out and I was missing a lot of scenes that I wish they hadn't. I was expecting them to end the episode where Minorin thought they were a couple and leave it in one of those "uh oh" manners. Well minus a couple of chapters they have pretty much caught up to where i have read so I don't know what to expect now. |
I've Been Watching Anime for 20 years now. Can you beat that? |
| Well, gg just released the subbed version a few minutes ago. It seems it'll outrun the manga REALLY soon O_o |
| This is how a romantic comedy should be done. Also, I like the OP. It's weird and quirky, but catchy. I dig it. |
| hmm...i enjoyed this episode but it was done so much better in the manga. I think it went a bit too fast. Not enough time to build the chemistry between Ryuuji and Taiga. |
 |
| wtf..why can't they just stick with the manga's story line?? |
  |
| What's up with the parrot? |
 |
| Pretty much everything about this show has impressed me so far. I basically agree with Asako. Guess I should pick up the manga... |
  |
| Really liking this show so far. But when taiga is being a bitch it kinda annoys me. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| decent episode but it was kinda boring at some scenes |
 |
kie_ said: decent episode but it was kinda boring at some scenes Word. But awsome. |
| Cool episode, but it was kind of rushed. I'm guessing this is going to be 12/13 episodes considering how fast things are going. |

gdavge2003 said: Yup. Seems they quickly catch up with the manga and almost caught up already so I can't wait to see new materials next week.Well, gg just released the subbed version a few minutes ago. It seems it'll outrun the manga REALLY soon O_o Win episode is win. |
 |
| OK, I saw this RAW before anyways. ONE THING: THE POLE THING IS STUPID! WHy would you kick a pole? SCREW THAT! Do it on a stop sign........I destroyed one once when I was pissed. I DESTROY MANY MANY THINGS WHEN I AM PISSED. Besides just like in the USA when you hit and try to break a phone booth, in Japan hitting the pole is considered vandalism so YEAH YOU GET CHASED BY THE COPS! If all are BLIND....then you all should see that Aisaka and Ryuuji are becoming way more serious! Kitamura rejected her proposal as just staying friends. WHAT A FUCKI** IDIOT AHO HITO! Should be more man....IDIOT Kitamura! |
| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| Ah i enjoyed that quite a bit, was all pretty funny. then the last half with all her studdering and cuteness D: the spinning kick was funny too and the last line was so cute "He said "Taiga" omg moe .___. |
| This show just keeps getting better, basketball scene was great XD Great OP btw. |
 |
| Wow, this episode was so much better than the first one, we rarely see an episode with so many developments in a romance/comedy anime... I'm really impressed by the direction, the originality, and the pace right now. I don't know the manga but I'm glad they didn't do the same things seeing how good this episode was. |

About the specifics of the directions. They do like a serious tone with obvious hints yet they dhow the progress going smoothly. On top of that one will not give up the other that they love yet they will somehow end up together and they are using as a excuse. I know Aisaka is with Kitamura since he said he only wants to be friends with Aisaka. |
| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| The op was really good, and Aisaka got rejected... interesting episode. |

| Watched it just now, since subs are bound to come up pretty fast for TD, I gave up on picking up the raws. Not only they cut off many scenes from the manga/novel altogether, they also made some other pointless modifications they didn't need to. For example Ryuuji listening to the confession from the bathroom, and Taiga hurting her leg at the pole, which I was really looking forward to see animated. |
| I liked very much. The part of the witness's was great xD |
| Meh so far so good, it's do-able. The highlights for me are when the parakeet comes on-screen lmao he's crazy. I'm glad the series (so far) isn't exactly like others in the over-extreme tsundere stuff, so on to the next episode |
 MAL list updates |
| It was quite a good episode overall. I have to say it's getting quite interesting as someone who only has watched the anime. |
| Not a bad episode. Some scenes were done great, but I think they rushed the confession. Though with that conclusion, it seems I will still get to see some hilarious scenes of making Kitamura see that her feelings are genuine. |
 |
| Not having read the manga or novels or whatever this episode did not feel rushed at all. It seems to be progressing at a natural pace all the while being extremely funny. There was not one scene out of place in this episode. |

Indeed they did it much too fast, it looked like Taiga only stayed at Ryu's house once and not a long time till people started saying they were together. She didn't get a swollen knee after kicking the latern and had to be carried home by Ryu. And Ryu wasn't in the toilet when he heard Taiga confess outside as well as some other minor details. :< Oh well it was still enjoyable and next episode the anime has overrun the manga, so the people having read the the manga can't complain about everything anymore (only those who have read the novel...). :D |
 |
| Wow, the second anime episode has suddenly gone through ten manga chapters. The sence with Taiga and Kitamura just wasn't as good as it was in the manga b/c the relationship with Ryuuji and Taiga wasn't developed enough. When I started watching this episode I was thinking it was going to be about the basketball plan like they had in the manga not just skip through everything within a half hour. But overall I really liked this episode, it's obvious that the anime will deviate from the manga at this point though I still have high hopes that this will be a great anime |
| I kinda agree that it was alittle rushed, it would have been nice if they gave us atleast one episode where it shows their relationship growing. But hopfully this is one of those animes that will skip nonsense and get to what's important and I hope it's not over run with filler cause I'm really enjoying this anime so far. Also it might be fast because they may be a short series. we still don't know howmany episodes there are actually gonna be. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| I didn't quite enjoy this overall. Sure, the episode was pretty nicely done, but the story... It was just...typical? I've seen this kind of development dozens of times before. I hope it won't continue the average way. |
| OH SNAP FRIEND ZONE meh, even tho this is cliche, it's still much better than znt. regular school > mahou stuff. |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |

| Pretty funny, good OP. I'm not too sure about that parrot though. Kinda creeps me out. |
| There's still plenty of chance for this show to go to crap, but it's doing pretty well, in my opinion. |
 |
| so, coming off of the trainwreck that was the last episode, episode 2 was pretty good. I didn't read the manga, so I don't have the hang ups that some the others seem to have. Everything played out relatively well, with the exception of the pole thing, which just felt out of place. |
| that was one messed up confession |
noteDhero said: It's funny cause a lot of people are acting like everything's going to pot because *gasp*, they outran the manga. Hello, this is an adaptation of the novel, from which said manga is also an adaptation. At least have a fit because they went through the novel details too fast. But I guess now we will only have 1 or 2 people pointing out changes instead of half the posts.so, coming off of the trainwreck that was the last episode, episode 2 was pretty good. I didn't read the manga, so I don't have the hang ups that some the others seem to have. Everything played out relatively well, with the exception of the pole thing, which just felt out of place. Since I'm rather new to this specific series, I can't compare it to the manga and/or novel. That said, I did think they went by a little too fast. What they covered in 1 episode could have been covered in 2 showing us more details on the growing relationship between Taiga and Ryuuji. We end up just "hearing" what they did during those days instead of seeing it for the most part. |
