| wow what a crazy ass episode O.o jesus what's minori's problem after all?what the hell!? the scene with the classroom was kinda unrealistic but still,it was nice :) 5/5 and i think i'm going to give toradora a 10 :),it all depends on the final episodes... |

| Wow that was dramatic. |

| I just don't get it. If both Minori and Ami both like Ryuuji, why are they helping Taiga's romantic relationship with him to advance? Everyone is acting pretty stupid here. |
| I do not quite understand this episode and... OMG, MINORINI SEEMED A YANDERE! *-* but needed to do all that drama? i mean, if it was something much more psychological, okay, but it need not exaggerate so much with Taiga. o_o Taiga with her maid uniform was SO CUTE <3 And Haruta is mine u_u i did not like his girlfriend ( i'm kidding xD ) |

| Finally Ryuuji realizes Taiga's love for him ! <3 damn that cliffhanger ! |
I'm glad that the confrontation took place. The two obviously like each other alot, they just need to realize that. Minorin was slightly overboard but it shows her true emotions. Yea Ryuuji should make his choice before it becomes more painful for the others. |

| Shit, Taiga just got abused by her best friend. She didn't have to be that violent. ._. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
Faust721 said: No doubt that this was one of the best. This. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. :D I think I like all the pairings to some extent, although it's kind of sad to see Minori and Ami pushing their feelings aside so that Taiga has a chance -- especially sad because Taiga just wants to ignore her own feelings. And in the middle of all this, Ryuuji's trying to figure out what to do with his future... You'd think he'd become a doctor or something, since he's apparently really smart and good at studying, although I wonder if med school fees are steep in Japan as well... Anyway. Two more episodes! Hope everything resolves well, and that each character manages to find their own happiness of some sort. |
| Hot damn! Ami and Yuusaku simultaneously blocking the door was intense but really cool! I didn't expect that much action in that last scene but now I'm really glad I started to watch this series. Also I didn't believe for a moment when Haruta nonchalantly introduced the girl as his girlfriend. LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| The trapping Taiga in the classroom scene was gold. I'm a AmixRyuuji shipper but I'm okay with the series direction too. |
 |
| it getting to be epic i don't know what more will be happen this episode is very awesome |
 |
| toradora is the best. |
| I loved when the camera moved up to show Kitamura and Ami blocking the doors |

Funnymrbunny said: All of this is happening because Ryuuji can't make up his mind. He needs to decide which girl he wants because both will be okay with the decision he makes, but they are both confused because they don't know what Ryuuji wants. I think Minorin was being OD harsh on Taiga, she was frikken screaming at Taiga and Taiga was like freaking out. Did you see the look on Taiga's face holy shit. If i were her i'd be traumatized just by getting screamed at by Minorin. She was really freaky when she exploded omfg. But still I can understand why she did it, but cmon, you can be a little nicer O_O Well, To Be Fair. Each girl was pushing Ryuuji away from themselves and towards the other. episode 19 was a perfect illustration of this. Taiga practically threw Ryuuji out the door when Ryuuji didn't want to leave. Everytime Ryuuji would start getting serious with Minorin she'd go off on a wild tangent talking about Ghosts and UFOs. Hell, even Ami was speaking in god damn riddles all the time. I do feel that at the beginning of the series Ryuuji had it bad for Minori. But as the series progressed with Minori brushing his advances off and Taiga becoming a fixture in his life, his feelings slowly changed. Lest not forget the original deal Taiga and Ryuuji made. Taiga said she loved Kitamara, not Ryuuji, and wanted Ryuuji's help in winning Kitamara over. In exchange he'd help him fight for Minori. Both Minori and Taiga both took turns distancing themselves from Ryuuji. Taiga would even go as far as yell at him for even coming near her even after her crying fit in episode 19. Remember Japanese loath embarrassing situations. Something like what Kitamara did when he blurted out his love for Kanou is a rare event. Look where it got him. rejected and regarded as "the number one pitiful guy". Lastly, when do teenagers make the perfect decisions? hindsight is 20/20. You make it sound like it's easy for a teenager who's unsure of the situation and himself to make the right decision. it's quite damn treacherous. |

| nice episode, i liked Minori's little speach, i think i like Minori's character more then Tiaga's, still Tiaga is a great character. |
| Shit just hit the fan so we will finally get some resolve heh? Though i think we all know what is going to happen.. I just can't bear to see Minori's eyes in the spoiler it's just to painful Another sad episode but clearly one of the best and we are nearly over to the end of this awesome series |
 |
| I wish Ami would get more screen time... |
 I ❤️lolis |

But still I can understand why she did it, but cmon, you can be a little nicer O_O I think Minori was just fed up with the lies and hidden feelings, her own feelings included. She knew Taiga loved Ryuuji, but she did too. She was sadistically punishing herself when she made the conscious effort to let Taiga have Ryuuji. Then hearing Taiga's story and Ryuuji lying about the situation so Taiga wouldn't have to deal with it. It must have been the final nail to make her go "fuck this! no more pussyfooting around with secrets!". Having Taiga and Ryuuji together would allow for some sort of closure. It finally allowed her to have a good cry and move on and maybe even be happy for Taiga and Ryuuji since she loved them both. |
| I really hated the ending of the episode, wtf... why are they trapping Taiga while she cleary doesn't want to tell Ryuuji what those words were? I disliked Minorin since she rejected him but this is just insane -_-" Guess I'm the only one who doesn't like this?... |
| Kitamura, I just suddenly found so much respect for this guy. I don't know how to explain it LoL. Ami-Chan advertising was a fanboy moment for me. ^^ Minorin is even more annoying now. I want her to get slapped again like she did by Ami-Chan. TAIGA!!! |
 |
| Minori looked like she snapped at the end. I thought another fight was going to happen. |
 |
| Well, that was dramatic. I wish they'd all blurt out their feelings, and sort out who they like in the end. This love pentagon is confusing XD Well at least for them, I'm here gobbling it all up. We all know it's going to be TxR it was obvious =D I actually like this pairing, I don't know why others don't. |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| damn, one thing i like about toradora is the direction they take at the second half. its always intense!! |
     |
| This episode was....amazing. I loved that Minorin. I loved Taiga's reactions too. |
𝓻𝓮𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓷 𝓽𝓸 𝓖𝓾𝓼𝓾 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓶𝓮 |
| Wow.. that was a very awkward scene at the end. Finally, everything is revealed now... But I really loved it!!!! |
| Wow, that was great. I'd type up some words about why it was great, but I just wanna watch the next episode. |
| I really wanted Ryuuji to end up with Minorin, they would have made a great couple. Plus Ryuuji was in love with Minorin from the very start. But the author made sure that didn't happen by coming up with very convenient scenes, like Minroin bumping into Taiga when she was screaming Ryuuji's name, or Taiga thinking Ryuuji was Kitamura and inadvertently confessing her true feelings to him. Yeah, the obvious pairing that was Ryuuji x Taiga couldn't be avoided in the end. -_- |
| Oh man... That scene really hit home for me... Ya know, the one where Ryuuji FREAKIN' LAUNCHED Ami's shoe like a catapult!! Oooh, thats a classic move for both awkward moments and/or starting a riot of lolz XD! But as for serious thoughts, I liked this the best!

| Can you say best episode yet?! It's amazing how selfless these characters are. Ryuuji wanting to give his mom some rest and not worry so much, Taiga wanting to keep Minori happy by denying her own feelings, Ami for helping out even though it hurts her that Ryuuji doesn't see her. Ami is probably my favorite character. I'm probably in the minority but the way she handles things is so subtle which makes me love her even more. What a cliffhanger to leave on! I can't wait to see what Ryuuji does. Funny how everyone was on the same wavelength and decided to block the doors so Minori could talk with Taiga. I love this show!! |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| I liked how they trapped Taiga there because they knew how she really feels. But really, Minorin pissed me off again here. First Ami told Minorin to not be a fake (when Ami herself is one), and now Minorin told Taiga and Ryuuji to not lie when she herself (Minorin) is constantly lying about everything... That's just stupid... Oh and restraining Taiga like that might have been a little bit too far. Taiga talking about stamens and pistils was cute :D And Ryuuji throwing away Ami's shoe was funny and well-deserved. |

| 2 more left and this anime is getting really serious i cant stop clicking next episode i was going to stop at 20 taiga x ryuuji |
| Damn, that was dramatic. The outcomes of whatever Ryuuji chooses are drastic BokuSan said: I wish Ami would get more screen time... Pretty much my feelings before the last scene. |
| Wow that sure was some intense drama. Whole final scene was a little hard to watch; just brutal. |

| Minorin may act all bubbly most of the time but she she can out right scary! |

| The ending was so intense, I liked the writing, it went from a sweet chocolate distribition into a big confrontation. What I like the most is to think that Ami and Kitamura probably acted just by instinct, on the moment. Minorin made some crazy face, but it was nice to see her not holding her feeling. Now it's the final showdown. I guess next episode will be the confession and the last an epilogue. |

| A lot of this episode felt like overreaction, especially on Taiga's end... she was acting like she was possessed by a demon, and why? Because she can't come to terms with her feelings? Or because she wants the best for her bff? In either case, her reaction felt unnatural and inappropriate, bleh. |
| god that intervention was ruthless |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Interventions for love are the most intense. =o |
| Damn, last few minutes were intense. I'm all for TxR by the way. |
