Oh god, this one sucked balls... everyone was unrealistic nice towards them and what the hell is this " I want to marry you" shit about.
I hoped it would turn out a bit more decent.. well let's see what the last 2(?) episodes bring, let's hope they realise how stupid and naive they are. I wasn't far away from dropping this series in this episode.
I didnt get the bit about Ryuujis grandparents...they wanted to go to Ami´s villa, so what now?
Also, i dont think there´ll ever be an episode where i dont hate Kushieda. The way she cheered for him when he was chasing after Taiga annoyed me so much.
How dare he talk like that to Yasuko!
Indeed, even made her cry. :-(
lol. wut?
how did this situation turn from "lets confess to each other about something we've just recently understood about ourselves" to "lets get married, live under the bridge for two months, and then continue living under that bridge"?
did I miss an episode or something? and where did this Yakuso bit come from? I can understand that it's possible, but bringing that plotline into the story three episodes to the end, and without previous implications of it?
as for the watch, didn't they say it was given to her by one of her customers? isn't it a bit too late to introduce 3 family members (Taiga's mom, Ryuji's grandparents. are they Yakuso's folks or his dad's parents?). I was half terrified (and excited, of course), that Ryuuji's father might pop out and make an appearance.
and still, screw Minorin. she's bitch that continues to force herself on others.

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Naw, the watch was Yasuko's dad or Ryuuji's grandfather. The first time he saw it, he was like "Is this my dad's?", but his mom was like naw, I stole that from my dad when I ran away. So the grandparents are Yasuko's grandparents I guess.Originally Posted by Death BOO Z
Best part in the whole episode
From "too shy to confess i like her" to "lets get married"...
No comments, i'll just wait to see if the next episode can somehow fix all the retardness
LOL... I haven't seen this thread in a while and I am surprised at all the bitching the latest episodes has caused.
Funny. All this is loyal to the novel. The studio went as far as to animate the latest and final novel loyally, despite it just having been released ONE MONTH AGO.
I at least like that.
now after seeing this .gif 20 times in a row I must say it's really funny how she tripped..
she didn't even "trip" at all she just decided to BANG her head against the ground.. look at how she smashes her head downwards.. amazing! It's like she tries to make a special move or attack to destory the floor... and the more I watch this, the more I hope she can really do it the next time the .gift starts again.
Someone should write a fanfiction where Minorin gets a concussion from that fall and dies a painful death hooked on the machines while Ryu cheats on Taiga with Ami in the bed next to her
In fact, give me 30 minutes and i'll come up with something
I dare someone to put in MK1's backward+C lower spin kick and make that gif complete.

Hmmm the ending was pretty good I guess. I'm more than just happy that they saw each other again in the end, it really saved the mood.
Everything else would have been extremely stupid imho.
(I didn't really understand why she left in the first place btw..totally unecessary)
Okay final episode, i´d say.
Kushieda´s speed was the most embarrassing thing ever, though.
And i totally didnt get why Taiga couldnt tell Ryuuji that she has to go to her family to make things better...no, she has to leave inmidst of the night without saying anything :-/
well, it was a weird.
they skimmed through the family\marriage story and went back to the normal storyline, but they managed to tie it up nicely in the end.
not many anime characters make me feel this way, so Kushieda is really special in that, I really wanted Ryuuji to domesticate violence her ass. it's the 25th episode, Takasu knows Taiga far better than her, so how can she allow herself to go around bitchslaping people?
I mean, couldn't he just tell her that she know nothing about what's going on between him and Taiga, and that unless she wants to become a star (or be one with the UFOs, whatever proverb rocks your boat) she better stop hitting people? one day that habit will get her in trouble.
I liked how the relationship of Taiga and Ryuuji developed throughout the episode, felt very realistic.
as Usual, Ami and Kihara were perfect.

Very loyal to the novel to the very end. Nice ending. Liked the series and ALL the characters.

Minori really needs to stop going around slapping people and focus on her budding lesbian relationship with Ami (don't tell me you all didn't see the undertones). I wish just once an anime guy would slap a girl back and tear her a new one after being stupidly slapped.
Anyway, as usual Taiga's behavior seemed a little weird but I've come to accept that that's just Taiga. I must admit though I didn't really feel the love so much with this ending. It felt like the characters were going through motions that look like love but the emotional bond just didn't seem much different from a really strong friendship without external romantic distractions. Why they ran away in the first place also didn't make much sense at first but seeing how Taiga had to move away to live with her mom it makes sense that they ran away to avoid being separated from one another. Of course, coming back and then getting separated anyway didn't seem to be such a huge blow for their relationship after all so I guess the only good that came out of it was more screen time for Yasuko.
All in all this finale left me with something of a meh reaction overall. I liked most of the characters when they were at their best and had fun times watching the show but in the end it just didn't wrap up well enough to make me care about the final getting together of Tiaga and Takasu. I thought the kissing scene was pretty cute though so at least there was that. Perhaps this feeling was inevitable though since (I assume) the novels continue on but still, I think it was worth the watch.
The final novel was published one month ago.
This ending WAS in the novel. The animation studio worked directly with the author to have an ending as loyal to the manga. The only change was that the kiss scene took place in the bridge, instead of Ryuuji's Granparents home. There's no more ToraDora (with this characters at least... there is a spinoff but there is no Taiga, Ryuuji, Minorin, Kitamura nor Ami)
how does that work?
Kihara maybe? the president? I'll watch that.
somebody else? burn them.

The President's Sister and a new guy. Actually... both appeared on the anime, as special cameos.
Sakura Kanō (狩野 さくら ,Kanō Sakura?)
Voiced by: Kana Asumi
Sakura is Sumire's younger sister who attends the same high school as Sumire (school president that Kitamura likes) though her grades are horrible. She can unconsciously flirt with people, and like her sister, she hates snakes.
Kōta Tomiie (富家 幸太 ,Tomiie Kōta?)
Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto
Kōta is a first-year student who is the main character to Toradora Spin-off!. He is generally unhappy about his life. He works on the student council in general affairs, and gets good grades.
2 Novels have been published about this spinoff. The latest on January 2009.Synopsis
1. The Cherry-Coloured Tornado of Happiness
Tomiie Kouta is a 1st year high-school student. One day, Kouta meets with Kano Sakura, the younger sister of Kano Sumire who is "everyone's brother" and the Student Council President. Kouta is attracted to the bright and cute Sakura, but Sakura was a naive innocent girl who did not know her sexual attractiveness!
Kouta, who is led to help Sakura study for her failed mid-term test retakes, struggles with immoral imaginations and thoughts being in front of Sakura... What's going to become with the love between Kouta, who is not used to being happy, and Sakura who has no idea of whatsoever...?!
Adding to the story of an destined-to-be-unfortunate boy and an innocent girl, a new story of Taiga and Ryuuji is also included-- Super Romantic Comedy "Toradora!" Spin-offs appears!
ToraDora (main) has 10 novels. First one published on March 10, 2006. Last one (final volume) March 10,2009. And like I said... the anime did include this last novel.
Fun fact... Ryuuji got to see Taiga again only 2 months later, at the beginning of 3rd year, instead of a whole year later, at graduation.
