Mixed Feelings
For me, Toradora is the embodiment of the word Mediocre, I kinda get why people praise it, but also I totally agree with the criticism it gets

First, let me start with the good

I/ Main characters are not that bad and are actually interesting, I liked the personality of Taiga and Ryuuji, and their interactions with each other is actually interesting, also the other cast are not badly developed and they have some uniqueness in their personalities.

II/ The story started pretty decently, it did a nice job at introducing character personalities and the world-building was on point.

well that's about it. Now let's get into the bad, so buckle up!

I/ as I said, the beginning of the anime was satisfying, well sadly that didn't last for long, I felt that the anime started throwing random drama, the setup of the drama plots were badly written and made absolutely zero sense, it's mostly overreaction of certain events (looking at you Kitamura and kamou) that could've been easily avoided/fixed by using a certain trait called COMMUNICATION.

II/ ever had the experience before where you argued with your friend about who will pay the restaurant bills out of courtesy's sake?, that's how I felt with the love triangle, square, pentagon??, hexagon????, CIRCLE???????, oh mrs.A and mrs.B have a crush on Mr.C?, well just imagine the restaurant example and switch yourself and ur friend with mrs.A and mrs.B respectively, then the bill with " capitulating your love interest with mr.C", and u'll know what I mean, hope I made my point xD

ENDING SPOILERS HERE
III/ now I have three major problems with the ending, first one, the protagonists running away, this was super random and unnecessary, it made absolutely ZERO sense, the second one, they freaking proposed marriage in the most unrealistic, random moment I've ever seen, they literally started dating, ran away, then proposed AT THE SAME DAY, like wtf???, and finally oh boy, after Ryuji fixed his beef with his mother and they returned home, taiga suddenly had the revolutionary, enlightening idea of "well fuck this shit I'm out", she freaking RAN AWAY AGAIN and abandoned Ryuji after getting proposed and kissed each other, WHYY???, now this doesn't end here, at the graduation ceremony (which I assume took place after months) she randomly "spawned" in the closet, and was like HEY I'M BACK UWU, and ryuuji was, oh hey welcome back!!!! smily fucking face, then he said " i lub u"..................... WHATTT?????


TLDR: I liked episodes 1 - 12, they weren't bad, but then random drama started to happen and it made no sense, the ending was pretty bad lol.

5/ 10
