Oh, Toradora. Despite the obvious endgame couple, this show was sufficiently entertaining to watch (IMO, a lot more entertaining in the first half of the show).
For me, it had a lot of potential, but this was dimmed by a couple of screw-ups along the way. Over-the-top drama (in the latter half; and despite the obvious attempts in inducing your tear ducts to give, it failed to make mine do so), too much deliberate withholding of information, and many times a shoddy attempt at making mystery and more fleshed out characters. Well, mostly my complaints about this show came to surface in the way they
...
chose to bring the story to a close. By then everything just seemed so forced to me.
*minor spoiler ahead, if you can still consider such a spolier*
At the beginning I was so entranced by Taiga and Ryuji's chemistry and I couldn't wait until they got into terms with their feelings - but by the time this had happened, I couldn't really care less anymore because of the events leading to it. IMO, they bombed the last couple of episodes.
But anyway, this was a decent show. I actually finished it and I'm not a huge fan of the genre. So go on ahead, give it a try. Perhaps I just didn't like the latter half because I kinda hate overdone drama. It may float your boat though, so don't take my word for it. :)
