Story [10/10]: Now the main component of any show is the story and Toradora does it right. It wasn't cliche or predictable, instead it was innovative and kept me on my toes. The protagonists Ryuji and Taiga rely on each other to follow their own love interests. The pacing was pretty good, it did take a little while for the real romance to start but once it does, it warmed my heart.
Art [9/10]: Because Toradora aired a few years ago the art and animation may not be perfect but it is still one of the better ones. The art was unique but it was very fitting for the theme of the show.
Sound [9/10]: The soundtrack is pretty amazing. I'll be honest, when I first heard the op, I didn't really like it but it truly grew on me. I love both ops/eds, they just seem to fit perfectly. The music during some of the scenes really fit the mood and just made me feel for the characters so much more.
Characters [10/10]: The characters in Toradora are unique and make the show what it is. I loved all of the characters and the development they went through. You can truly feel the internal struggles that both Ryuji and Taiga had during the show. I grew attached to the characters. When they were sad I was devastated and when they were happy I was happy.
Enjoyment [10/10]: Toradora is a hell of a ride. I probably enjoyed this show more than any other rom com just because I grew so attached to the characters. Every single episode was enjoyable, it had a perfect mix of comedy and romance. It did give me the feels and made me want to cry but it also made me smile. I don't know what else to say but Toradora is one of my favorites.
Overall [10/10]: Toradora! is a true masterpiece. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in any romantic comedies. After finishing Toradora, it left me sad that it was over but satisfied with the ending. My new favorite show.
