Although it may just seem like another typical school-romance anime at first, it develops so much more nicely than others.
I thoroughly enjoyed Toradora, at first it being light entertainment. As a guy who doesn't like the average romance-drama anime, in the later episodes, I became teary-eyed from the suspense, anticipation, and drama of the show. Every episode has small events or occurrences in dialogue that may seem slight at first but can abuse your emotions by being acknowledged as a severe mistake in later episodes, epic metaphors that you become attached to being shot down by a sentence spoken by a person who thinks they

are above it all. In a sense the characters have different tiers of knowledge in the situations and judgement, the watcher you and I being the second to highest tier, it is truly interesting.
The art style was unique and did it's job, it drew me into the story and took a grasp of my consciousness as it created the world of the character's lives, the animation lessened in detail in action-filled scenes greatly increasing the intensity and the quality of the animation itself, done greatly.
The characters were all unique each having their fatal flaw, though not as severe as Greek theatre, it was just severe for us to recognize them if we read in between the lines. This greatly strengthened the bond between the watcher and the character, I really loved almost every singly one of the characters, even though they were hate-able at certain points.
Through and through I recommend this anime to anyone who can tolerate school genres or even people who can't because it doesn't center on the school very much at all, the anime completely gravitates around the characters and their lives, each one has complete depth and makes the anime amazingly enjoyable, although the ending seemed like it was made to spite the watchers emotions, it succeeded in squeezing out a few last tears as we transition away from an amazing anime.
