| Toradora! has shown me lots of feelings and emotions, but for the most, I saw how much a person can be good for her bestfriend. I "if i were her"ed so many times and still so much taken aback with her actions. This her is Kushieda Minori(n) of course. Was she always in love with Ryuuji? Or she realized her feelings at the vacation house of Ami(n)'s? Why is she this nice to someone who is getting all the sellfishness oscars? Why she never tries hard for his personal life unlike her efforting of sports and part time jobs? I really couldnt come up with any answers to this questions. I heard this story is an adaption of a novel, so maybe it will give me an answer(or smb nice among my precious precious readers:D). Anyways away from Minori (who is the complicatest character ive ever seen in a romantic comedy), the story and plot goes smoothly and pleasingly. After 14-15 episodes, when Taiga at last "manages" to talk with Kitamura w\out blushing and such, you can see the inevitable ending up of two characters: The Tiger and The Dragon. The confessions at the end are well-made and the snowy school trip is a big success too. The plain and detailless art is the perfect choice for a slice-of-life serie, moreover i can say its -very- near somewhere to the top. Seiyuus are just great as always. Animation is reflecting the emotions from drawings perfectly. ED and OP s are worth mentioning too. Toradora! is standing proudly in school romance type animes. Dont pass it, enjoy it to the full. |

| Love it <3 but I really wished it would have ended after they got back home you know then some other stuff could happen like reunite with friends, but I'm sad that Taiga left :( |
 |
| Some_Lost_Melody:But she came back. |
| Normally Tsundere-stories are like so-so to me, but well, been stuck in the chair for 4 hours straight watching the late end of the series, I guess can't be any less than a masterpiece. Tsunderes are in general not too fun and so on, but compared to other Tsunderes so far, Toradora was a blast. Can't believe they made the ending quite well too, the endings are usually the tripping stones to otherwise good stories. Anyhow, 10/10, both the series and the episode. |

| Haha don't you hate it when you miss the scenes after the ED's. |

I mean I watch the ed a lot of the time but the second one for toradora is boring so I don't watch it arrrghh |
|
| I did the same thing, when the credits and ED started, I raged and raged until the next scene started. Then I smiled wiped a tear from my eye. One thing I don't get that I hope you can clear up. When they arrive back at their homes and Taiga goes to her house to see her parents, why does she run away? I raged at that part too. |
 |
| <3 Dunno if I want to give this a 10 or a 9... |
 |
| For me it's 11/10 :) yea, it's better than the scale allows i love Taiga in the white coat and white bots it's so cute :)) i hope they'll be very happy couple, i was worried that she dont return.. and i was thinking that she return for a while and she leave him again :( i want moaaaaar EP !! more more more more !!!! btw. i cried many times :( when i saw all episodes i decided to watch it again .. and i cried at first episode ... ahh goshhhhh yea and always when the episode end :( the ending is so beutiful (both) shi~ i never cried at anime it's first time |
| >W<! Why am I nearly crying!??! DX <3 Toradora! Taiga is so <3 |
 |
| i was really skeptical about the whole series. i really did not like ryuuji because he's not treating ami so well not to mention he kinda cause alot of troubles for ami,taiga, and minori. i was even surprised ami fell in love with him. i also thought taiga would never see him again until some time but at the end of HS they finally met :D i was planning to give this an 8 but the story keeps interesting as u go towards the end. i still don't like ryuuji though i love ami and taiga is just soooo awesome :D ima change my score to 9 great series sooo many surprises at the end :) |

| I have to admit that I was expecting an end like White Album xDD had some similarities..anyway I was pleasantly surprised whit this anime. |

| I must admit that even though this is my 3rd time watching the series, it still brings a tear to my eye everytime XD It's good to see that even though this series is a year old people are still watching it. This is a must watch! 10/10 |
| Really awesome. I didn't expect the last ep to be like this, but it was still great anyhow. |
| i just finished and it was a reallly good anime. Im really sad its finished though, but apparantly, APPARANTLY!!!, dont get your hopes up too high, they are makign a second season, but do the reasearch if you want im not too sure. |
     |
| GODDDDDDDDDDDDD WHY JAPAN? ;_; Never ever watch romance animu at early morning hours when there is work to be had in the morning. You will lay awake forever thinking about the ED, much like Toradora is doing to me now. I just now finished Toradora, after having it on my HDD for literally a year. What took me so long?! I swear, if that scene after the ED wasn't there, I probably would have given this a 7 or 8. |: 9/10 |
 |
| What a nice ending, after rebuilding the relationship with her mother, Taiga ultimately returns to Ryuuji's side. She hasn't lost her tsundere side either I see! xD Still hoping for a sort of "After Story"-esqe sequel though, although thats unlikely to happen... =( Lovely anime, good stuff. 9/10 and faved! =) |
 |
| Started watching it like last month but stopped and started watching it again last Friday or something and ended up watching all 20eps :O Very entertaining, I really do enjoy these slice of life animes I give this 8/10 |

| I never really cared for Ami until I read some of your posts. Then I thought over the whole anime and realised how good she actually was written. Thanks all, for pointing that out. Nonetheless, my favorite character is Minori. I don't know. I just don't know why. She's the show's airhead, yet extremely wise person. It's kind of a cliché, really, but there's something to her that I extremely like. Every line of her made perfect sense to me and had me longing for more of her screentime. What a great friend she is for Taiga. Taiga was another really well written character; the tsundere. Normally, it would be the person I would like the most, since I love tsunderes, but Minori just knocks her away from the top spot in my personal opinion. All in all, I'm thouroughly pleased by the characters in this anime. It's just wow, how every character is so greatly likeable. The story is also great, going from light hearted to extremely dramatic very fluently. I'm currently doing the same as the poster above me, safe for that I'm sending this to every friend, not just the bored ones. Easily one of my favorite animes, and it gets a 10/10 from me, and that's not something I usually give. |

  |
| 11/10 very nice ending wished some more tho, anyway best comedy anime so far left me speechless. |

| waaah.. i liked the ending, maybe i loved, im still not sure of it. but the whole series were awesome, awesome, awesome! i give a 9. my fav chara was minorin from the beginning. i like freaks of anime, i somehow thought she looked like morita of honey&clover. (hes my fav of the anime chars ever) and i wasnt suprised when she ended up just like him :) she may look like a freak, but she was the real friend and the real lover, imo. btw, i have a question about the class photo scene. what is written on the board, can anyone help? here you are: |
| Pretty good ending. Almost made up for the last episode. I might just rate this a 9, as everything else in the series was good. I still wanted Ami-chan though. I loved her as of episode 6. |

| I really hated when Taiga left like that. And when the teacher lectured the students. I'm glad they made up for it after the ending :') . I loved this anime. 10/10 . |
| This show is over rated. The whole show was predictable and all the characters weren't even developed. The show did have its good points though so 8/10 for me. |
 |
| plz answer one question because i was confused,why did she had to change schools and leave?i mean i only didnt get that part..(was it for Ryuuji to get in college or smt?) |
 I am the bone of my sword.Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. |
| Oh god I was crying because I didn't think Taiga was going to come back.. D: Loved the ending though ^^ |
 If you don't remember something, it never happened. If you aren't remembered, you never existed. <3 |
| Personal this is one of the best endings ive ever seen, yea ryuji part of sadness took it down a little bit but still ended very well |
 |
| Loved the Ending. 10/10  |
| |
| Marathoned ... It's over... Watery eyes for the most part. The wedding scene and the kiss <3 Almost died when I thought Taiga was going to leave ;_; WHY DID SHE HAVE TO GO Good thing I watched through the credits. Toradora rounds up to a 10/10  |
| |
| hmm well, watched , noticed that it ends happy so why im so sad? any suggestions?. ( that is my first shujo series ) |
 |
