| I'm kinda dissatisfied that every time Ami seemed to attempt to confess, she was cut off and never gets the chance to express the emotions she suppressed thought basically the whole series. This show was incredible though. I wish I could have seen how they acted as a couple but... fuck it. I'm beginning to notice a pattern with romance anime, you get the big build up for the kiss then.... THE END... I'm fucking watching Eechi anime for a while till this mother fucking feeling of void goes away... |
 |
| it's been 6 months since I've watched this and I'm still thinking about it lol |
 |
| I wanna give Toradora and 11/10, but alas, I'm out-stepping my bounds. Jokes aside, probably one of the best romance animes I've seen; loved every minute of it and I can't get it out of my head. |
| It was predictable by the first episode that Ryuuji and Taiga would end up together but I'm disappointed Kawashima never got to express her feelings towards Ryuuji. Personally, I would have preferred if Ryuuji and Ami ended up together in the end rather than pairing Ryuuji up with Taiga. Minorin did hint at the possibility of liking girls in one of the episodes, so an Ami x Minorin as a pair could happen. I also really liked that Ryuuji's mom had her moment finally and that things worked out in the end between mother and son. I'd give Toradora an 8/10. It was a great romantic/comedy but tsundere characters are annoying to me. Taiga wasn't as bad as most characters that play that type of role, but unfortunately, she was also my least favorite character in the series. |
| So.. I just rewatched Toradora! again. (couldn't remember how many times) Still can't get rid of my thought.. I really wished "Ryuuji and Minori" would be together. *sobs* It's really painful to watch, especially a girl like her.. plus she's also deeply in love with him. My heart couldn't take it when she gave up on him.. that indirect kiss on the fist. *sobs* They just look lovely together. (//∇//) Also I was hoping for Ami to have the chance to at least express her true feelings. Things might've turned out differently.. really like her. For me it feels that Taiga would've still end well with staying as Ryuuji's close friend or neighbor and all.. Though it's obvious she'd end up with him from the start, I would've truly love her more if she was the one giving up instead of poor Minori. I guess this is the sad thing about a pure romance anime, unlike those harem series. You just can't satisfy everyone. *sigh* Nonetheless, it will stay as one of my favorites. |
| Bravo. Fantastic series. Ended perfectly. Episode 24 threw me for a loop, but then this episode made up for it big time. Probably a perfect romantic comedy: funny, but with touching, awkward, and often even hard to watch (in a good way) emotional drama throughout. The story and characters' growth always felt sincere as well. Loved it. |
| Can't believe I haven't watched this sooner. This is one hell of a romcom! :D |

| Taigas Mother is selfish!!! they could have moved there but no Taiga had to move to them for a year BAAKA, if i wold be in Taiga's choose i wold not agree with that, i wold say, mother if u want to live with me then move to were i live cause here i have a lot of friends & person i love, so Taiga also BAAKA its good series |
| >Ryuuji opens door to classroom >Taiga is gone >Me ready to punch my computer screen >Ryuuji discovers her in locker Seriously, my heart skipped a beat when she disappeared, I would have been so depressed if that had happened. Happy endings win 9 times out of 10. This episode deserves no less than a 5/5. |

Sonja said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I can't believe that now it has ended :'< It lasted 25 weeks, always on Wednesday evening we were able to watch new Toradora episode and couple of days later we had subs for it. And know we don't have it anymore. Ya-san came to grandparents too and Taiga and Ryuuji really look like a pair now : ))) - spoiler warning - Taiga is just so moe ♥ <img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/2lwop38.png" border="0"> Somehow the ending was pretty... weird. It ended like usually Kugimiya's animes; tsundere says something not-so-cute. But somehow that second part was sad when you were watching how Ryuuji was suffering :'< Good anime, really liked. 10/10 Just finished watching, and loved it. Would have liked to see a lot more of an epilogue than just 3 minutes, like another kiss. What I really wish is that they have an OVA that shows the characters maybe 5 years in the future, and what they're doing. Be great to see Ryuuji and Taiga together, possibly with Taiga pregnant (see attached picture from PSP game ending); Kitamura together with Sumire Kanō in America, possibly married; Minori on the Japanese national softball team, Ami a world class model, and even Hisamitsu Noto and Maya Kihara together. http://www.stooorage.com/show/1970/10185677_toradora-good-end.jpg |

| That kiss... was the most beautiful kiss in all the anime history. <3 |
| Paws paws paws paws paws paws paws Neko Neko Paws Paws is what I like I'm a paws obsessed person, I could look at kitties' paws all my lifetime. |
| Great show! :) |
| Seeing them makes me so jealous! I want to find it already just like Taiga and Ryuuji. The love they have is so beautiful. Omg man that whole scene where they kiss!! Just wow! It is truly spectacular. Probably one of the best romance scenes in anime history. No matter how many times I watch it makes me so happy, happy enough to cry out of joy. I can never get enough of it and this series :) The music for this anime is so perfect btw, especially the second ending song! I'm so happy now after watching again! :) |

| Nice kiss and a lovely ending. :) 8/10 |
ASolitaryTear said: This turned out to be as predicatable as the Title and the 1st Episode. Basically it's Familiar of Zero without Harry Potter. Taiga was basically Louise minus the Pink Hair. I had high hopes for it not turning out to be episode one... but knowing JC Staff, well. Anyway, it had potential... if not for it's obvious plot. It's well done compared to Familiar of Zero, of which the Story was just all over the place. EDIT: It would have also been better if he really went for Minorin and not just settle for the safe bet next neighbor girl... with respect to Real Life that is. Overall it was a fun Romantic-Comedy Anime. 5-8/10. I'm giving it an 8 overall, but a 5 for it's oh so predictable JC Staff plotline. My 0.02 dollar. I don't know why you are putting the blame on JC staff for the 'oh so predictable plotline' when it is an adaption of a light novel. |
| overrated series. taiga is more annoying than i can endure. and ugly. |

| Well, now, I have the biggest grin on my face I ever had watching an anime. It was such a sweet ending for a sweet anime! Well okay, after the first part, I was about to cry and to destroy my screen, but I just couldn't believe it would end like this. I'm glad they sorted out the Yasuko issue at the beginning. She wasn't a bad mother, far from it. She sacrificed everything for him, even her pride. The kissing scene was so sweet, and Ryuuji embarrassed by the two futon really made me laugh. Now about the second part... It's not that it was bad, it's just that I have very versatile feeling, so these kind of thing are really too harsh for my heart. Seriously, I really though it was a TTGL ending kind [MAJOR SPOILER FOR TTGL] The photo was really cute, Ryuuji trying to smile but giving more an awkward grin. Anyway, a great end for a great show, Taiga is clearly on my fav character list now. |

| great anime finished it in 2 days lol 8/10 or 9/10 dunno but it was a fun ride though i think my favorite character is ami (imo well developed and very mature character; no pun intended lol) , but the other characters were likable too it's pretty easy to tell that taiga and ryuuji were gonna end up together just by looking at the opening -_- they were the canon couple. most romcoms are a dead give away so.... qq moar? |

| I wouldn't have minded if the show had ended without that extra bit at the end, although I understand the need for closure. It was a great ride with only a couple of hiccups along the way (melodrama). Definitely one of the better romcoms I have watched. |
| While not as good as I remembered, rewatching Toradora do remind me why I think it's the best of all the (severely limited) romcoms that I had seen. The pacing is simply terrific with hardly any wasted time as most scenes had their own points to come across. The ridiculous actions taken by the characters are well justified (albeit twisted, still justified), taken note of and elaborated by the characters themselves; something which irks me the most in other anime as they frequently did out-of-character things (ignored by other characters to boot) for the sake of propelling the plot. Best of all, there's never a break from events typical of a school setting which makes it a perfect watch for those who can't stand straight-up romance show that focuses more on their daily life. Nay, Toradora is all about enjoying the events, drama and (to a lesser extent) comedy. Nevertheless, the main reason I rewatch this is to refresh my memory as to why everyone claim Aisaka Taiga is a tsundere. With this, I can finally rest my case. Edit: And of course, I'm always surprised when I realized Toradora was made by J.C. Staff. It raised my hope of them only to be crushed by their later series. |

| Loved the anime ! Great story, great characters, great ost, everything . I'm just sad because neither Ami or Minorin got true happiness in the end, i know that he can't stay with the 3 at the same time (this is not To Love-Ru) xD but somehow I think Minorin and Ami-Chan deserved to be with him too :/ Besides that, what really pisses me off and I can't understand is that why the hell did Taiga run off ? I mean she went living with her parents, but why ? She never liked them, she was a lot better with Takasu and Ya-Chan, if she had stayed with them in the end it would be a lot better and less sad :c Can somebody explain me why she move out away from him ? |
| I was so disheartened when Taiga left D: but good thing I watched to the very end when she came out of the locker :3 Haha I love cute animes Anyone know of any anime similar to toradora (in terms of cuteness/romance), an example being like sword art online? thanks :) |
| Done rewatching! Still love it! <3 |
| pew pew pew |
| inko-chan star of the show |
"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." |
| Well first i was like: WTF is this ending?! But them the last 2 mins made me love toradora even more. I was thinking it was going to end like they would never meet again. The good thing i was wrong. Not going to be 10/10 because the ending was a bit confusing for me and the story was some what predicteble. But still totally worth. |
| Everything comes back to the start, in a strikingly different way. ^_^ |
| The rewatch value of this anime is immense, I just got finished watching it again and it still left me breathless at points. This anime isn't a 10/10 by any means, but that doesn't change the fact that it is one of my all-time favorite anime. I'd put it in my top 10 list for sure. Three of my all-time favorite spine tingling anime scenes come from Toradora alone. You have episode 19's "Ryuuji! Ryuuji!.... ryuuji" moment, the bridge confession/ attempted murder, and last but not least quite possibly the greatest kissing scene of all time in Taiga's "One more... one more... one more..." scene. Gotta love this show. |
| Toradora was geting worse and worse with each episode and i literally forced myself to get through last 10 episodes, but ep.25 almost made me puke. Boku no pico had more sense. Also ending sucks. Still, first part of the series is really enjoyable. |

| harem and ecchi are a cancer to whole planet bad english user |
| I'd rate it 9 if this ep wasnt so bad. B'cuz of it it's only 8. Can someone competent tell me why, and I mean, WHY did she leave out of nowhere? Did her parents imprison her in a cellar or what? Why did she quit school? WHY? Why didnt she consult this with her man? Why did she suddenly come back without any messages? How much time passed since she left till she come back? Why does it look like it was horribly long time? And one last thing: WHY did people seem'd to not remember her in the end? Wasnt she famous? Overall very good series, but last ep was trash :`( 8/10 PS: please answer my questions, i rlly need dem, answers. |
| I love toradora so much. yeah i was pissed when taiga left but the after credit scene made it worth it. I would give this as close to a 10/10 as humanly possible. In my top 5 easy but the one only thing holding me back was the fact that it leaves me wanting so much more... :( but if thats the only bad thing about a series i dont know how you can complain haha |
| Damn it. I CAN'T... You can't end it here...! Whatever. I mean hey, at least we got the sukidayo. Regardless: loved this series, it's definitely an all time favorite of mine, I'm giving it my best rating, 9,5/10. |
| Show was getting good but the ending was dumb. Taiga just drops out of school and apparently goes to live with her mom despite her mom basically not giving a shit about her and Taiga hating her family? And Taiga finally has a chance to start dating Ryu but leaves that all behind even though she is accepted into their family and she states how much she loves that? Then she comes back a fucking year later and Ryu is all I LOVE YOU like nothing has changed? Ridiculous! Surprised that Minori and Katamura never dated. They displayed very good chemistry together throughout the show and that seemed like the most obvious paring right from the start. Ami was the only sensible character in the show although she was weak just like everyone else. Taiga was almost sensible until that last episode. I don't understand how this show is rated so highly but each their own. It had its moments. |
xXWoLFxChAoSXx said: Kind of same opinion. The last 7 episodes (when OP1 becomes OP2) are really impressive. This ending is amazing.I tried to like it, but that second half of the show, that second half... 6/10 Edit 3/27/14: I changed my opinion on this anime and the ending isn't that bad. 8/10 The first 10 eps are somewhat boring though. 9/10. |
