Toradora! Is one of the animes belonging to the romantic comedy genre that has gotten attention over the years. It has received much praise and acclaim since it's airing in 2008. And to be frank,I had a grand time watching this anime. So let's start with some flaws and get those out of the way. The series is heavily cliched in many areas(e.g school setting) though this didn't bother me too much. Secondly I found the beginning episodes to be a little....well unimpressive. Like aside from some good comedy,a decenct story and of course, the characters(we will get to that later). There was nothing that special about the first part of the series. But now that that's out of the way let's talk about all of the good things this series did. First and arguably the biggest pro of this series is the characters. The characters are just....wow the characters are AMAZING. They are all genuinely interesting,well developed, and relatable. And once again these characters were good in the first part of the series, but then they just became GREAT characters in the second part. The same can go with the story, the story becomes progressively interesting as the series goes on. Things that did stay very consistent was the art,voice acting,and music. These aspects were all well done.The side characters were also exceptional and actually felt part of the plot. The latter part of the series also made great use of drama as well as comedy.So in conclusion Toradora! Is an anime that gets better, and better,and better, until it goes from a ok or good anime in the beginning to a great and special anime in the long run with a good story,amazing characters, a good comedy-drama balance, and consistently good art,voice acting,and music. This is why anyone who likes school life anime should check this out its worth it.
