| Wow I've never rooted for another pairing besides the pairing that's meant to happen. o_O Now I'm hoping Ruyji end up with Kushieda too.. |
| HEY! |

| This is an anime original episode right? Even if it is, I thoroughly enjoyed it given the interactions between Minori and Ryuji. Though it seems that J.C. Staff are back to their old tricks again making Taiga needlessly violent. Are they all frigging masochistic or something? |
| its getting worser and worser after each episode |
 |
| Except Taiga's pokes, it was an "OK" episode. |
| I like Minori more than Taiga now. I suppose that's not how things are supposed to be? PimpToad said: This is an anime original episode right?

Are they all frigging masochistic or something? No idea, but it's annoying. I've heard that Taiga is hardly violent at all like this in the novels/manga, seems like JC Staff wants another Louise. Not liking Taiga at all, too much bitchiness. Mod Edit: posts merged. Use the Edit link if you have something to add, don't double post. |

| Hm, I think this episode has changed who I will be rooting for. At the beginning, I was rooting for Taiga for some reason, but now I think Minori is winning by a little. |
| Good episode - enjoyable like the ones before. Now I have more respect for crazy Minori. It was a badly necessary character episode. Also beating a tsundere character with it's own weapons is a nice thing for a change. OP & ED have really grown on me. |
   |
| Great epi! Gives more info on Minori. I'm starting to really love the op and ed! |
| ~Friendship is so sweet that it can cause tooth decay~ ~Respect the losers, cause without them, there'll be no winners~ |
| Enjoyable episode. Minori has infected even me with her spirit. |
vindemon64 said: I dunno, maybe I'm just getting tired of Kugimiya Rei or I've seen one too many of these kind of scenarios, but this show is getting progressively worse since the first episode. I'm not saying this episode was necessarily bad, but I really didn't enjoy this episode all that much. There really wasn't much development of either Ryuuji or Taiga, imo. I'm pretty tired of Rie tsunderes now myself. Taiga seemed a bit different from the usual tsundere role but each episode she starts becoming more and more like Louise or Shana or whatever character that likes being physical for no reason. *sigh* On another note, Kushieda is just pretty much awesome and I like how her cheerful persona kind of has something else behind that. |

| This episode is full of minorin epicness this actually made me think of the possibility of ryuuji x minorin. you know, i wouldn't mind that pairing all that much, i think i would actually root for it. though, i really don't know how the relationships will develop. this is a really interesting anime. one of the top ones this season. Minorin is such an awesome character. cheerful, energetic, a little bit airheaded, but moe overall. <3 "we want a homerun, yay yay yay".. lovely i loved takasu's line of "that off-pitch singing...... ah, kushieda" funny parts this episode were takasu getting poked in his eyes.... xD it was interesting to see kushieda calling ryuuji by his name... and takasu adoring kushieda that much xD lol @ the old man touching ryuuji's but for mirano's dna XD funny thing how taiga had to do all the work.... double urusai this time.... i think kugie doesn't want to use her triple one just yet xD facial expressions this episode made me laugh.... takasu's face when they get locked in was funny lol @ taiga being overly cold and scary after getting to the store xD "the pitcher is scared. hey hey hey" lol so kushieda actually was scared... she's such a cute character. its so nice seeing such a cheerful character, even when she's scared xD, i expected ryuuji to fall when he saw taiga.... didn't expect her to jump on top of ryuuji though. i look forward to next episode, this anime is getting way more interesting each episode. and even though they rushed through the manga, i really wish this anime could go a little longer than 13 episodes (hopefully the thing about the second season is actually true. |
     |
| Haha that was nice. Minori is great. I wonder what the three of them are doing now in the storage room. :P |
| Ryuuji forcefully making Taiga smile was so lol. |

hknamida said: I actually enjoy Toradora a lot more THAN expected. Totally. I expected a ZnS/Shana rip-off and in the end we have a great comedy/romance show that actually makes sense, with great direction, good developments, interesting characters and over all : a fantastic atmosphere (where most animes do not even have a specific atmosphere nowadays...). I'm extremely surprised by this show, it may be one of my favourite shows of this fall, even if I'm not a big fan of the style. And Taiga is 100 times better than Louise (well I hate Louise...)/Shana/Nagi etc... because she does her best and tries to become better, what the other Kugimiya Rie characters do not even think of. |

 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| lols i thought it was funny at the end when she was looking at him through the bars and he stares back that would scare the shit out of me haha but this episode was ok |
 "...and so the lion fell in love with the lamb" |
| You know, unlike Louise, Taiga actually has good reasons to get mad at Ryuuji. The first time Ryuuji was getting lecherous and depraved thoughts about Minorin, who if you remember well is Taiga's best friend. The second time he made Taiga do all the work and spent his time being lazy, scoping out Minori and drinking tea with a depraved "uncle". I'm sure she's entitled to direct her anger at him in those situations. At least it's honest reasons instead of stupid misunderstandings. And I think the best part here that separates it from Zero no Tsukaima, Ryuuji and Taiga are not already predetermined to hook up. This episode really gave us some needed Minori action. Ryuuji really is obssesed about Minori. |

kuroshiroi said: I don't know how I feel about Minorin, she feels a little bit boring despite her crazy behaviour. She only has one "mode": Energetic! Hopefully she has a horrible past as hinted by her trembling. Then again maybe she just being overshadowed by Taiga. Ya, I really hate her in your face overly excited attitude about EVERYTHING. I think theres a definite possibility that we will learn about her having a dark past of some kind. Tiaga probably already knows, thats why she was telling Ryuuji not to pry into her life. Someone should give her Geass Eyes :D |

| Haha, loved it when he met Taiga face to face at the window XD |
 |
| i just noticed Taigas proportions look off, shes got short arms i think XD |
| Finally Minorin shines in one episode >D She's so full of energy!! Taiga's force smile by Ryu is so hilarious ! XD More cute & tsundere scenes of Taiga =D Looks like the Love is building up. |

Davison said:  best part of the episode, lol. I'm loving Rie's voice on Taiga. great work. and yeah, kushieda was funny. |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| This is a weird anime. Why does it always get better in the other half of an episode? o.0 I'm starting to get fed up with her attitute. Taiga, I mean. The window scene was the best! |
Shinmaru said: This episode was simply:Pretty solid episode but a definite step down in quality from ep2, I think. Still, lots of great Taiga and Kusheida moments, so I can't complain too much.

That was not something depravated... He only said about she being a bright girl. Whats wrong about that? And if he really had though something... lets say different... whats the problem? Anyway Jeez, i though Taiga would be tsundere only. Not only tsuntsun... She is pissing me off. No, really, just because she can't move any further in her relation with block-omura she has to fuck up things with Ryuji? That guy actually is taking care of her! BTW, he said he would be come a dragon. Where is the Fuking dragon? Those 2 episodes back then were better. I wonder why they couldn't keep with the manga art.... (Inko-chan in the anime is scary instead of funny, i mean, thats not even a parrot, it seems like a deformed monster, with wings... =P) Need moar Deredere and Ryuuji with scary face. LOL |

| Rofl he tried to change his clothes but instead got a DNA touch. Anyways Minorin is the greatest. |

| I did like this episode, yet somehow the last one had me saying "oh my gawsh I wuvzz this show" but this one didn't really, not to say one episode will ruin everything, I do like Taiga because she's pretty different from the other known tsundere's, and thankfully she isn't beginning to own Ryuuji out of jealous, ;3 I really like Minori, she's just...awwwhs. Like, everytime I saw her on screen this episode I was smiling, <3 & oh my goodness I have a feeling I'm going to LOVE Ami Kawashima, she'll probably replace either Taiga or Minori on my fall favorites, oh noes! ^^ |

| After I watched epiosde 3, I enjoyed Toradora a lot more. It keeps better and more better so far. Kushieda is an interesting character. I loved it when Ryuuji met Taiga face to face at the window. |

| I love this Anime So much. #2 on my list for fall 2008. |
| Go Watch Sumomo momo Its epic. It has not gotten much attention... Episode 1 http://www.veoh.com/videos/v83597095dreGdW#comments  |
| Kusheida saved this episode. A really quirky, funny girl. Taiga's only good moment was at the very end with the ladder. Other than that, she was a lot more annoying in this episode, and the first half was really disappointing because of that. It's also annoying when the male lead can't form a sentence around the girl they like. Thankfully that was fixed by the end. The introduction of the final main character should spice things up next episode, depending how she fits into this love square. |
