Toradora!

It's your typical "Will They Won't They" for the majority of the episodes, and by "They", I mean everybody. It's not a love triangle, it's a love circle, and that's probably one of the things that make Toradora! so entertaining and fun to watch.

Toradora! does fall in its genre's tropes sometimes, and there are times when things get a little bit too predictable story-wise. But in the end, I felt like there were a lot of things that it did right, and the story was overall satisfying.

I found this anime while I was board and just searching for anything to watch and I came across Toradora! and I must say that it is one of the best shows I have ever watched.

The characters are simply amazing in there design and the plot is fantastic. Also the protagonists are very unique and well thought out and out of all of the anime I have watched the protagonists are probably some of my favourites.

I never expected to be moved so much by it and I was so hooked I had watch all the episodes without even thinking about sleep. By the end of it I was nearly in tears and didn't want it to end so I had to watch it again.

And although this show does not seem as if it should stand out it is out of this world. If you have never watched Toradora! you need to start right now because you are missing out on something that is truly amazing!

I can usually find lots of things to complain about in everything I watch, but toradora gives me very few. There is more than one person who likes the main character, but you always know who he will actually end up with so that doesn't matter as much. The girl is a tsundere, but they become friends quickly and that doesn't impose on the story too much. I'd like to say that they took too long to get together but really that's just personal preference and I don't think them getting together sooner would have much positive impact on the story, unless we were to have an arc where they were already together.

One thing I do wish was different is that I wish they would have realized their feeling sooner, so that there wouldn't be as much drama or people being sad in the end.

Overall, if you like slice of life anime, or drama anime, or comedy anime, or romance anime, there is a very good chance that you will like this show.

I am trying to describe what I felt for Toradora and it really complicates me, it was such a beautiful and sad trip at the same time that it left me with a warm feeling of having seen a story that caught me from beginning to end. I know that Toradora may seem to some the development of a toxic story and it may be true, but you have to look beyond that. It is, for me, a story of unions, of fitting in somewhere, of belonging, of learning to feel important for others and for others, a story that is and will be precious to me. Because that's the way it should be

Toradora is an enigma to me as I do not usually like romantic comedies, or even anime in general. And this anime does a lot of things that make me dislike anime: it pulls characters from tropes, however this show made me realize maybe that in itself is not a bad thing, because this show did that but did it so well that that didn't matter to me. The main love interest IS a tsundere but there was so much more to her than that, unlike many shows where the trope defines them, where it IS their character; Tiaga is herself first and tsundere second. This can really be said for all of the characters in this show, many of them seem at first very two dimensional, but in reality as you watch the show you realize they each have their own personality and Toradora shows that, it makes you care for them. You feel these characters struggle and succeed on a personal level until the very end. This show is, for the moment, my favorite anime, and I would say almost perfect if it weren't for the lack-luster ending.
