THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
What a crazy bunch of people, and this perfect dose of craziness makes it a huge fun every time.
Is Ami the one behind those tricks at the end? Or even Kitamura or Kushieda? :/

Just found out ex-Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman is the one who appears in the Shoko-Rita show which airs just before Toradora xD, but this goes too much off topic here^^

Very nicely done indeed Hoary! Great LOls and much amusement in this episode! I will rewatch it now!

I got it! I will save comments for when subs come out. All I got to say is that 3 parts made laugh one made me bitch pretty much. One thing is I find Taiga very adorable in that nice white hat! The multiple hands God (forgot its name) imitated by the four (Kushieda/Ryuuji/Kitamura/Taiga) was hilarious.

Here are parts I liked:
1. That part made me LOL so much my face turned red cause it was too much!
2. That part made me LOL pretty good.
3. This part I also LOL very much! I could not stop myself cause their red faces are funny. Should more anime with those faces come I will like this!


1.


Finally I hated this part and I found it strange that Ami acted like that, I mean this sor of thing applies to guys but this was a situation reverse. Would have been better a girl VS girl fight.


Chibuki request gif of 2. and might as well make one 1.
Maybe more after subs. Thank you all on MAL for showing such great anime!

Some questions for discussion:

1. Who found it strange that Ami did not get affected by the whole towel off of Kitamura? Could it be that Ami already did it or saw many guys naked?

2. Those pills Kitamura gave to Aisaka....was it headache pills or tranquilizers?

3. What do people think that Minori will do with the pics taken of Kitamura?

4. When Ami mentioned going to the beach with Ryuuji before they got interrupted was she thinking nude dip?

5. Was it shyness of Aisaka (cause she blushed) of not going with Kitamura on the motorcycle or Taiga does not like motorcycles?

6. Doe Ryuuji's dream suggest something with the way his mother was portrayed?

Let's have fun and start discussing people!

Although Inko-chan certainly needs a vacation s/he probably stayed with mum.
That bird needs to be sedated. S/he needs prozac, way way way too much stress. I've come to terms the parrot is actually afraid of Ryuuji.

**I LOVE INKO-chan!!**

Taiga is just too damned cute. And Minori is well... Minori. God I love her, how can you not?

From the seaweed ghost, to the curry she just amused me greatly this episode. More so than normal. It also nice to see Taiga and Ryuuji get closer. I'm thinking it's Minori and Kitamura doing the pranking though. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Also, with Ryuuji gone? R.I.P. Inko-chan. You'll forever be remembered.

Anyway I can now conclude that: Ami is making some really obvious advances towards Ryuuji but things doesn't go her way. EVERY SINGLE TIME. :O

(and I'm sadistic enough to be happy to see Ami failing in that.)

I think Ami has some hate issues with Kitamura. Maybe Kitamura wasn't as good a friend to her back in the days in comparison to how good a friend he is to Minori and Ryuuji (and to the extent possible, Taiga).

Also some good advances for Ryuuji in both the Kushieda and Aisaka front (was Taiga giving him a massage with her feet there at the end? o.o), plus he totally shot down Ami every chance (which is good, as I hate it when anime turn into total harem-fests). All in all, the dog jokes were just the start of a truly amusing episode. And like someone else suggested, the way the preview presented it, I'm taking a guess that this is Kushieda's revenge at them for scaring her senseless, or Ami felt totally ignored and wanted to rain on their parade.

I swear there isn't any more hilarious anime.

The more progressing the story, I think the more of a match Kitamura & Minorin. And so does Taiga and Ryuuji.

As far as Ami and Ryuuji, I think she just love to tease Ryuuji because he's that type of straightforward guy that'll react amusingly when someone tease him. :P Loved that shower scene lol!

Also interesting insights about Minorin's personality. Ryuuji also hinted about himself in the conversation. Perhaps there are ghosts who wants to be seen by you, which translate to 'try to open your heart for me' in a way.

Taiga realizes that she and Ryuuji also became closer due to their daily life, being together almost all the time. All those 5 people are pretty much great friends as portrayed in the opening sequence right now. The holiday vacation separates them from the rest of class and gather them together in Ami's village.

Taiga & Ryuuji's plan of scaring Minorin to death seems to backfire against them. Looking forward to next episode as I'm very anxious to see the outcome!

GIF time! Some of the gifs are so big I had to put them inside spoiler lol.

I liked this episode. In fact, it's probably my favorite episode so far.

It's much more entertaining watching Ryuuji's relationship with Minorin and Ami. I personally find his relationship with Taiga incredibly dull.

Fantastic episode, one of the best I've seen this season seriously. The structure of the episode was perfect, the characters' relation and direction too, and everything felt so original and shiny that it's really a good achievement for a comedy/romance anime. Much deeper than what it seems too.

Oh, and when I was beginning to doubt, the scene with Ryuuji under the stars made me remember it clearly : Minorin is an absolutely awesome character, much less an airhead that she wants everyone to believe.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I haven't noticed ANY hair.
Let me enlighten you. Japanese men have less body hair than white women. That is all.
No, that's not all, why would you even notice the lack of hair in the first place?

Anyway, this episode was great. Excellent beach episode. Minorin and Kitamura were so random!

Ryuuji and Ami are my favorite characters though, mostly because they seem closer to normal people than anime characters and they have some major psychological issues. Ryuuji is a cleaning freak, even going so far as to clean the house by himself while all the others were at the beach. There are some other issues but they kind of pale in comparison to Ami's. As a result, they feel much more real.
Taiga has her moments too, mostly awesome embarassing cute moments.

Yeah, for sure another awesome Toradora! episode. Again we get a big dose of humor and hilarious scenes, such as Takasu's dream, the warm-up at the train station, the fight in the train, scarying Kushieda, Kitamura entering the kitchen naked (XD after this I dislike this manwhore character a lot more, even if the scene made me laugh) and Ryuuji entering the bath where Ami flirts with him, which is my favorite moment in this episode.

The setting changed from city / school to seaside / Kawashima's villa and I like it, it's fresh and entertaining to see the plot progressing in a new place. As we speak about plot progress, I just can't get enough of how Toradora shows us the romance between characters with small steps, while it's able to crack a smile on the viewers' face and even makes him smile at the same time, that's the thing I like very much about this anime.

I won't change the rating on my anime list from 9 to anything else, because of one simple reason - I want more Takasu & Kitamura! Even if they're main characters, they just seem to be 2 supporting characters, so that we can see more ouf the three females and I don't like that. If someone would ask me about either of those two, I wouldn't tell him anything about their personality, because we just lack any information about it, we only know their relations with other Toradora characters and their appearance, which is not enough for main characters. It's a common syndrome in this kind of anime, where we deal with romance, so it's not a big problem, but still.

Episode 9 - 9+/10.

GAH, another awesome episode! Ami confuses me most of the time, though. I didn't like her at first, due to her being an extra character, disrupting my canon, BUT, she's interesting, to say the least. Expecially the "cleaning the shower" scene.

My favorite part, which I HAD to rewatch had to be...."She was like..."BOING" and..."BOING" and....."BOING!"" XD I love Taiga.
Another 5/5 for this episode. I loved it.

This episode was ridiculously hilarious XD

I wonder if Taiga is going to start realizing she has feelings for Ryuuji. That's what it seemed like to me at least. I'm a sucker for best friends falling in love, it reminds me of a Lovely Complex sort of thing. They bicker all the time, but slowly realize they see each other more than just friend.

I lovvve Minori and Kitamura as of this episode. I liked them before, but they were just way to funny. I also liked Minori's character development. I kinda think her and Kitamura would be cute together XD


Exactly my thoughts after seeing the subs. Aisaka indeed is realizing her feelings but I think the dream was like the kick in the ass to realize something here is my interpretation:

a) Ryuuji's dream can be translated in reality as him having lots of kids with Aisaka and marrying her but by doing so he gets to be in home with less freedom (his feelings seem to suggest that) and his mother takes care of their kids at the same place.

b)Aisaka's dream just translates in to marriage as well but most likely she saw Ryuuji as a dog instead of human. XD That would be nice to see her dream, I would LOL so much more at it.

Few things since I saw subs

So Kushieda hates scary things/UFOs/Supernatural occurrences. This is a stupid speculations byt maybe Kushieda got kidnapped by Aliens and abused! Who knows but she did say most afraid is UFOs.

Attention a little trick to understand better This worked for me. During the scene with Kushieda and Ryuuji on the balcony. Replace all terms of ghosts/horror/supernatural stuff with the word love. I understood way more than the confusing way they were explaining.

Once again ChiBuki, nice GIFs! :D
