Toradora is totally unpredictable yet familiar at the same time. It’s like suddenly having your PC motherboard turned in a BTX format when you’re used to ATX and all the slots/ports are situated differently yet they’re the same damn thing. Of course it works like a PC would on the whole but the way it’s [...]

Going to do a double Episode post starting with EP 08 as it was about a swimming showdown between Taiga and Ami over Ryuuji. I had a delay in watching due to being speed limited with my internet connection. Anime Impressions - EP 08 Short points about the episode. Ami looked cute in her bikini Taiga looked [...]

It is the sequel of the 7th episode. (with some more fanservice! :3) The competition between Ami and Taiga consists of 50m swimming. If Taiga will loose, Ami takes Ryuji to her villa. (That means no food for Taiga!). So Taiga learns how to swim. lol. She has incredible powers in her legs and incredible fear [...]

The 08 is the “battle”, with Ryuuji going to Ami’s villa if she wins… Was there ever any doubt in the outcome? Honestly! And then Taiga invited herself to the villa, of course. I think I’m going to drop Toradora. However, it’s not because the plot is too predictable. My problem is that I latched onto [...]

Bet you didn’t see that coming. Before we get to the STARTLING REVELATIONS slightly predictable developments in this episode, I’d just like to take some time out to once again express my appreciation for Minorin. Within 2 seconds of the episode starting, we already gain a “ZORU ZORU ZORU” moment from the most likeable character in [...]

Very belated review, I’m sorry. The 7th episode of Toradora was an outstanding but good sequence. Pool adventures, huh. A pool day at school is stress for Taiga. She can’t swim, more than that, she’s quite flat by contrast with Ami. Ryuji finds a solution. He sews special paddings for Taiga. It works, until Taiga gets [...]

Clues hint that Taiga likes Ryuuji. She doesn’t enjoy the fact that Ryuuji believes her motivation to compete against Ami was simply for Kitamura. Quite apparently, Taiga enjoy’s Ryuuji’s presence, she obviously isn’t comfortable with him leaving for Ami’s villa. Does this indicate love, or just Taiga being uncomfortable with a temporary lengthy loss of [...]

The rivalry between Taiga and Ami really started to hot up in the last instalment of Toradora!, and thanks to a 'bright' idea from Minori, this is what we end up with - A sports contest to decide whether Ryuuji gets to spend his summer holiday at Ami's villa or not. With the choice of sport being drawn out of the pot, what else becomes the chosen discipline for this contest but... Swimming.

With that henohenomoheji of theirs in episode 08. Ah, henohenomoheji (or in this case, henohenomohe), I remember learning Hiragana with that.

Following up from the previous episode, Minori chooses a swimming competition between Taiga and Ami and the two rivals place their wagers. If Taiga wins she will share her incriminating video of Ami with everyone in the class. If Ami wins then she gets to take Ryuji to her summer villa. A gossip note circulates around [...]

Winter 08 Toradora is one of the few real winners this season, give it a try. Minorin is by far my favorite. Other noteworthy series include Kannagi and Rosario season 2.

I know that I’m hilariously far behind broadcast of all two of the series I’m blogging right now, but that should be rectified soon. I’ve cheated a bit with Toradora! and skipped ahead, which just goes to show that I quite like it so far. Which is strange, because it’s not one defining factor that [...]

Sidenotes Q: What do you call a curve whose tangent line is a horizontal line from all points in the curve? A: A flat chest… Yeah, well you probably wouldn’t find the joke relevant, let alone funny (it’s one of those jokes I’ve heard when I take my Calculus classes), but I hate to break it to you [...]
