For me, Toradora is the embodiment of the word Mediocre, I kinda get why people praise it, but also I totally agree with the criticism it gets
First, let me start with the good
I/ Main characters are not that bad and are actually interesting, I liked the personality of Taiga and Ryuuji, and their interactions with each other is actually interesting, also the other cast are not badly developed and they have some uniqueness in their personalities.
II/ The story started pretty decently, it did a nice job at introducing character personalities and the world-building was on point.
well that's about it. Now let's get into the bad,
...
so buckle up!
I/ as I said, the beginning of the anime was satisfying, well sadly that didn't last for long, I felt that the anime started throwing random drama, the setup of the drama plots were badly written and made absolutely zero sense, it's mostly overreaction of certain events (looking at you Kitamura and kamou) that could've been easily avoided/fixed by using a certain trait called COMMUNICATION.
II/ ever had the experience before where you argued with your friend about who will pay the restaurant bills out of courtesy's sake?, that's how I felt with the love triangle, square, pentagon??, hexagon????, CIRCLE???????, oh mrs.A and mrs.B have a crush on Mr.C?, well just imagine the restaurant example and switch yourself and ur friend with mrs.A and mrs.B respectively, then the bill with " capitulating your love interest with mr.C", and u'll know what I mean, hope I made my point xD
ENDING SPOILERS HERE
III/ now I have three major problems with the ending, first one, the protagonists running away, this was super random and unnecessary, it made absolutely ZERO sense, the second one, they freaking proposed marriage in the most unrealistic, random moment I've ever seen, they literally started dating, ran away, then proposed AT THE SAME DAY, like wtf???, and finally oh boy, after Ryuji fixed his beef with his mother and they returned home, taiga suddenly had the revolutionary, enlightening idea of "well fuck this shit I'm out", she freaking RAN AWAY AGAIN and abandoned Ryuji after getting proposed and kissed each other, WHYY???, now this doesn't end here, at the graduation ceremony (which I assume took place after months) she randomly "spawned" in the closet, and was like HEY I'M BACK UWU, and ryuuji was, oh hey welcome back!!!! smily fucking face, then he said " i lub u"..................... WHATTT?????
TLDR: I liked episodes 1 - 12, they weren't bad, but then random drama started to happen and it made no sense, the ending was pretty bad lol.

oh boy!
well I never did an anime review on MAL, but the amount of unmeasurable disappointment I felt after I watched this highly positive reviewed dumpster, I had the utmost urge to do it
first of all, I usually consider spice and wolf the pinnacle of romance, and I somewhat compare romance animes with spice and wolf to discern the rating, boy oh boy this came down at the bottom of the list, I'm not lying when I say that I watched most of the anime at 2 SPEED, and I found myself frequently skipping the dialogue cuz it was just poorly written, this is something
...
I never did before, I grasped for the hope that the true gem people are praising lies within the ending and thus I dragged my feet and continued golden time to the end, well as I expected, I was utterly disappointed.
Story 2/10
first of all, and this bothered me so much, the alchemy between the two protagonists, the bland MC and his super duper annoying girlfriend didn't fit, I was soo un-interested in their relationship, well first because it was RUSHED and second cuz the characters are bland (I'll come to that later)
Second, this anime fails completely at delivering the drama, it just iterates between comedy, drama, and romance every time to the point I didn't understand what was i supposed to feel. on top of that, the drama was often rushed and made no sense at all
finally, the ending was nothing special and to be frank predictable, I wasn't interested in the show that I legitimately didn't care anymore, everything was crammed and happened so suddenly in the last two episodes, the ending was just poorly written
Art 4/10
below average at best, maybe because of the budget, but who knows.
Sound 4/10
also below average, didn't find the music that good, nothing special about it
Character 2/10
oh god, lemme say this, the supporting characters were more interesting than the actual MC's, Banri or whatever his name is so bland, annoying, pitiful, not interesting, and has 0 qualities, the girl, oh my, I NEVER, and I say it again, NEVER felt disgusted and angry about a fictional character than this girl, she's annoying and every time she appeared I felt so irritated, she's just your typical high school bullying rich girl that is a bi**h and has no redeeming qualities.
Enjoyment 3/10:
please give me back my wasted time...
overall 3/10.
