well im quite plessed that it is definite.
with that said for the majority of RyuujixTaiga shippers, i bet that before taiga would confess any feelings towards Ryuuji that she would sock im' in the face :0, hypothetically speaking of course.

Ami is really getting more nice, but I have just started to like Minorin ! : D I don\t know why but that kind of angstygirl is just interesting. And Ami isn't that annoying anymore. Pretty good for us : D !

Haha, I'm almost positive that Ryuuji and Taiga will just remain friends, so I'll laugh even more when people like you get YOUR dream crushed.

I really don't care who he ends up with, I'm not gonna cry all day like some people on here will, I just see that RyuujixMinorin seem to be the most connected. TaigaxRyuuji would be pretty akward.

So I wouldn't be laughing at other people's hopes if I were you, you'll just seem even more dumb when your prediction doesn't happen (not directing this to Defiance, but eveyone in general).
Thank you random alternate account, you have totally enlightened me. Please log on your real account so I can take you in somewhat seriousness. I mean, the fact that you are comparing Toradora to an eroge harem anime such as Akane-iro is already baffling enough.


This is my real account, sorry if I don't waste my time on it like you might. I only come on it to post on forums. And I wasn't trying to sound aggressive towards you, I was just saying that you shouldn't be making assumptions and laughing at other peoples', because you may be wrong. And I was in no way whatsoever comparing the anime is general to Akane-iro. I was just showing how people assumed someone would get the guy, but they were proved wrong. It's been like that in other animes, like Clannad.


Think what you'd like then. But I do disagree with you when you say they already have the main couple. There is no definate hint or whatever saying that Tagia and Ryuuji end up together. They might stay friends. They might. Like in the opening song when Taiga is sitting at the desk and Ryuuji gives her the food and she gives him a friendly smile. It's basically showing that they might (MIGHT) stay friends and she's just nice to him like that because they have a brother-sister relationship. Whataver though. We really won't know anything until the anime ends.

But yea, some people think Ami is in love with Ryuuji, and I agree with FTGT, she just seems like she wants someone to like.

I think softball is the last thing on Minorins head right now. Have fun with that nut.

And could people stop using emo about people who are feeling down? I think I will call everyone who's not depressed "Günther-lover" henceforth.

Her problem is also that she keeps screwing up and blaming herself, but yeah, typical emo. Her and Kitamura would make a great couple.

I totally agree with you. People are over-using the word 'emo'. So if Taiga starts feeling sad for a few episodes will she become emo? And Ami (although she tries to hide it) is a little sad also. So is she emo? Minorin is just confused, since everyone is trying to make it seem like Taiga likes Ryuuji. She doesn't. But Minorin thinks she's in love with him, so she's really hurting trying to keep her feelings inside. That's not emo at all. And she's not thinking only of softball, she's just using softball to help distract her (even though it's obviously not working since she's losing her games and stuff). Just because you might like Taiga or Ami more doesn't give you a reason to hate Minorin D:

But I don't like it to see her like this.

A totally offtopic note,

Im rewatching Toradora right now and one detail catched my eye:

Not a single person in this anime is smoking!

I mean Toradora belongs to the more "realistic", slice-of-live shows but still I cant find this "scourge of humanity" at that high-school. Is it not as common in japan as it is in i.e. europe?

We've only really seen them in places where smoking would be banned: school, and public places like restaurants. Further, I don't think it's in any of the characters' personality to smoke, and personally, when I was in high school, less than 5% of my graduating class smoked, so maybe it's just a European thing?

VERY NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This show is heading the exact direction that i DIDN'T want it to go.

I just felt so enraged at minorin.
I know it wasn't on propouse, but i simply can't make myself like her.
Even if she is acting all up like that because she thinks Takasu should like Taiga, and not her, i find her rather annoying and stupid then ... dunno inteligent?

And come on!
Takasu is only deaf when Ami is confessing.
That just blows.

Well, i'm still in denial so i hope the next 8 episodes end up with Ami x Ryuuji.
Who cares bout minorin!
(Well, i don't, and i already know the reply, so you don't need to tell me im one of the few. lol)

I would drop this series as well, just for the sake of not having to watch the end.
Though, thinks to the fact that the author and the director are geniuses, and this series was (and i hope it continues like this) a masterpiece, i'm not dropping it!

well its just how people have said it's notable from the begging. it's just nice to see it with characters who have different personalities and traits, plus the journey towards the goal.
If we wanted surprise, then we needed a harem here, or a different demographic.

though im just a womaniser, Taiga's amazing with here notable Tsundere image. see if the male protagonist was like that, not only would i not be interested, it wouldn't turn me either ;)

I was saying that to look cool, but you got me there.

No, actually the catch phrase of the Machiavelli philosophy is "the ends justify the means".

I was trying to say something like since the end is with taiga, it should be all bout ryuuji x taiga without ryuuji's obsession for minorin.

Thinking about it now, your idea follows more the Machiavelli philosophy then mine.

This is why i always have bad grades in philosophy. (Even though i like it. I guess i'm becoming M, OH NOEZ!)

Oh my goodness. That was an excellent episode. Actually, when Taiga gave Kitamura the star, I had a bad feeling he would drop it or something. I was half right, that was so sad. Minorin felt terrible, I would've been crying my eyes out too. I'm just guessing here from self experience, Minorin doesn't want to like Ryuuji, or she feels guilty for already liking him. Guilty because of Taiga, because she believes maybe Taiga does hold feelings for Ryuuji, or...she may not want to love anyone else because she has some past with a heartbreak, which we learned from that one summer episode. Ryuuji talked about being able to fix the star, I took it as being able to fix Minorin's heart.

~ Oh Ami was especially cute in this episode. She's still my favorite. I'm excited for #19! Toradora is amaaaazing. <3

Why do I feel like I totally missed the point? Somehow it would seem quite logical to me, if Minorin would confess her love for Taiga to Ryuuji and he'd figure she was crying because she can't do anything for Taiga (since Taiga loves Ryuuji) and Minorin only makes things worse.
I'm such a gay shipper.

But it would also seem a nice thing if Minorin actually has strong feelings for Ryuuji. It makes things complicated.

Minorin is such a mess. She needs therapy or something.

I don't get why they started the upbeat ending music during the sad final scene. It was totally mis-matched.

Ami can still go to hell.

From the preview it looks as if Taiga is gonna unleash some anger soon! Yay!

That's dumb. If you were going to drop it, you should have dropped it by now. Especially since there seems to be actual progress in the romance aspect of the show.

Ami should just confess. Seriously, because I can't stand Minorin and the don't help me thing.

hey maybe she just doesn't want to end any kind of relationship she thinks taiga and ryuuji has.
