One of the greatest anime of all time, especially standing at the apex of the Romance and Drama category specifically.
A bit slow for the first few episodes, perhaps this is one of the flaws of old-school character development that requires the reader's attention to build up pace. But this anime will absolutely tear you apart and pull at your heartstrings no matter the person.
Toradora! perfected the extremely difficult art of putting the viewer in their feels over and over again like a melodic rollercoaster. It builds up the suspense and crashes it all down like a wonderfully crafted lego tower. Towards the end of the show, you will see the full culmination that this anime has to offer, putting together all the pieces you thought were irrelevant. It is a beautifully executed climax and one of the most complete but bittersweet endings you will ever experience.
This anime is truly a masterpiece and I would never go back on my word of putting Toradora! in my top 5 best written anime of all time.
