A perfect romance in comedy. A different, marvelous kind of sweet only an anime can deliver. A collection of gems, gold, and diamonds in the form of episodes fully wrapped into this anime, entitled Toradora, in which I don't even know the meaning!

== Story ==

The series is made of continued stories in every episode and there is a genius behind the idea between a delinquent and a wrongly accused one, and had the accused, Ryuuji, be kind, caring, and I assume, the perfect gentleman be entangled with the delinquent, Taiga, through their best friends, which each has a crush on. In which from the start was just like infatuation, considering they know little about them but as the story developed did the bond, relationship between the involved.

I find myself wanting for the next episode after the current just ended. Due to that I can never expect what they'd do, or generally, the development of the story, but it never comes up out of the blue, the surprise, since there are always hints here and there, that only the observant can pick up, and perhaps people with talents in picking match ups. I for one was kept guessing.

For me, the story was placed neatly and the ending, a genuine delight when all of them, the characters were not left out, and crossed in the exact, perfect connection in between.

== Art ==

The animators were not lazy. Winds, shadows, and all that contributes to a picture of reality is the mirror image portrayed in this series. The background characters, supporting characters where given some thought, considering the details given that match that of the leads, not to mention the individuality of their style.

== Sound ==

I was not a fan of the opening and ending songs, though they gave a feel of cuteness in their voices, the singer(s). But the soundtracks did have an impact, that added/boosted the drama or comedy or romance in the scenes. It was correctly and appropriately placed.

== Character ==

I will say that all of these characters are a bit shy and needs a threat to destroy the world until they'd be honest in their feelings. Ryuuji and Taiga has an incomplete set of parents, and so offer a setting of a real-life problems that infests planet earth.

Ryuuji is the accused delinquent, wrongly though. He is I assume the dream man of most of the women in the multi-verse. he is thoughtful and caring, sometimes dull, which I think a necessary character for the lead. If not, this series would be considerably short.

Taiga is a female delinquent, who don't know how to take care of herself, and needs help on most cases unless it be in the contest of strength. Understandably so if you get to know her family background. A fragile character but shows a tough shell on the outside, as we later know in the progressing of the story. I think she was designed to be an ideal for Ryuuji

Minori is the best friend of Taiga and where Ryuuji has a crush on. She's kind of weird. She is the sun, full of life, giver of life and has a healthy view in living, that influences those around her, and even snatch a heart or two, Ryuuji included, inescapably trapped in her web without her knowing.

Ami is a model. The popular beauty of the school. She had a bad character, but was included in the mix for an even more complicated web of love drama in the story

== Enjoyment ==

This was memorable and can be re-watched, possibly. Many should find this series easy to relate since it is in school, it does involve crushes, love, problems in studies, people, character, values, and family. Quite a mix that save little for people aloof from this most relatable series.

ps. a genius idea for a plot.

burp!
