A Minorin-centric episode! …Umm I don’t know if I would be happy about that… At school, Ryuuji glances over at Minori, who’s playing baseball. Taiga then poked his eyesballs because she said that he’s making a perverted face. Ryuuji’s been saying that Minori’s oh so shiny, sparkly, glittery and stuff but whatever ml idc… Minori talks about [...]

Moving too fast…    The series Opening debuted with this episode. The visuals in it are nice, but the song… it’s weird (not as much as salty vanilla ending, but still weird), I really can’t wrap my head around it, I guess I will need to listen to it more.   So Taiga is already almost a part of [...]

Sidenotes As of this episode, I officially became a Minori fan, most likely because of her optimistic and energetic attitude (as compared to emo ones) that’s complemented by her extreme kawaii factor. To some extent, I was moved by her words when she mentioned something about her knocking out her weaknesses.  It’s even more surprising how [...]

This show is awesome. First off, I love the OP; J-Pop and Techno go well together, and the animation is quite good. Speaking of which, the art in the show in general ahas really started to grow on me, I cannot get enough of the character designs, and as such, I love every character in the [...]

Kitamaru better not have any interest in loli, or else I'll call the Anime Gods to throttle him. I still don't see why Tiger has any feelings for that guy. I mean, didn't he kind of reject her last episode? But besides that, I want to know what has happened between those four people. Currently I wouldn't care if any of them were to date any of them. The only exception is Tiger; she's one lonely tiger that I'd feel pity for just because she lives alone and, well, she's a loli.

I was quite impressed with this series right off the bat; I have a lot of hope for it. While I just chose to watch the series because it seemed like a typical school/romance/comedy, which I enjoy watching, I really do feel that this series has more potential, and can hopefully become something more. What [...]

This week we have a Minorin-centered episode, and at times it was rather hard to sit through. She’s alright in small doses, but an entire episode of her high energy rambling can really grind on you. It’s ok, next week we get to see Ami-chan so it’s all good. Wow…those are really freaking ugly [...]

Sure its cute. Just remember the rules, don’t get it wet and don’t feed it after midnight! Remember no good deed goes unpunished a fact someone should probably have made poor Ryuji aware of when he first fed Taiga. If he had known then that he’d be seeing her for breakfast, making her lunch [...]

What the hell happened to the animation? It’s been really good so far, and then stuff like this happens. It was an okay episode, just giving more depth to Minori’s character. I’m kind of sad at whoever worked on this episode. They don’t seem to care - I mean, there was a frikking [...]

I don't think it's any secret that I've really enjoyed the first couple of episodes of Toradora!, and having just finished episode three it's fair to say that my opinion of the series has changed not one iota. While the first two episodes focused largely on establishing the dynamic between Taiga and Ryuuji, episode three shifts its focus a little more in the direction of the latter's romantic

“I am HAPPY !” 嬉しいな顔、ね��� This episode featured Kushieda Minori,the hyperactive teen who has apparently been living her life a little too positively(Zetsobu sensei reference wtf?).Speaking of which,Zetsobu sensei was a real funky title to digest for me though.Ryuji spent most of the episode drooling over Kushieda.It seems like Kushieda is somewhat of a weirdo in all aspects.Loud,bursting with life,vivacious,and perhaps a little too much of that for your average teen with a disgustingly positive outlook on life.I was not convince though.I’ll talk about that later. Take two!! So Kushieda apparently is really ...

Gomen, gomen! I’ve been neglecting this blog lately, but I’m really busy with Uni and Japanese lessons right now and I barely have time to sit down, watch some anime and blog about it. I’m trying to catch up (I finished Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, so I’ll write a review as soon as possible) but [...]

Ep 2: Ryuuji and Taiga Continuing where we left off last week, it seems that this episode establishes a strong basis for our main characters. Let operation match making begin! Wacky high school hijinks on! Read more after the jump. I rather like the OP. It will most likely turn into one of [...]

Taiga may look small but her fiery temper gave her the nick Palmtop Tiger. Taigaalso happens to be Ryuuji’s crush - Kushieda Minori. Things take another turn when Ryuuji returned to the [...]

After many setbacks during the day, Ryuji comforts Taiga and tells her to not get discouraged. Since Taiga and Ryuji are [...]
