Did the ending ruin Toradora for anyone else?

So I actually am catching up on a lot of "mainstream" anime and toradora was recommended to me by a friend because they felt I would relate to Taiga. I liked the show as a whole and the character development was actually pretty good for 25 episodes but the last two episodes ruined everything for me. Like the way it was all portrayed made me feel like I wasted my time watching the show. I don't know am I the only one who feels like this. I know in a lot of anime adaptations they tend to rush the ending but to me it was just really poorly executed and it kind of ruined the vibe of the show for me.

I just finished my rewatch of the series and I feel sort of the same way. The pacing of the show is really changed in the last two episodes, and so much happens in such a short time. Maybe in the light novel it made more sense. I didn't like the whole running away thing and 'council' of friends supporting that. But it doesn't ruin the series, Taiga's whole disappearance is disappointing, but it's not like her family issues weren't brought up throughout the series. It's not the most satisfying conclusion, it's just not as good as the overall series deserves.

The ending is a weak point though I recommend continuing the story with the visual novel on PSP which is fully english patched. Those endings are awsome!

The ending was kind of weak and predictable. It did sour the whole thing in my eyes. Ryuji and Taiga pair up felt forced. I think my issue with Rom com anime like this is that I never understand what the take away is. Every point seem mote, no one really deserved to be in a relationship at the end. The characters make the dumbest choices I swear. Ryuji pick taiga after pining over minari pretty much until the last 4 episode, only to find out that girl he has liked for 3 years has also like him for 3 years....what? And minari the direct get what you want girl decide that ryuji and taiga should have end up together since the start? Ami trying to basically being a coward to just out right tell Ryuji how she feels. Then disses all the other girls for not being honest with their feelings? I haven't seen a rom com this characters this bad since shuffle.

It was a little predicable, as with the majority of romance anime, it just felt a little fast and out of nowhere to me personally.

Yes, I really love this show. I have finished the anime and the manga but everytime I reread it, I feel the same way as the first time I read it but that feeling when knowing the ending is just kind of depressing. Like all that build up for the ending is like sad, and knowing there may not be a second season there. It breaks my heart everytime I reread or rewatch the show.

Yeah no, for me it was a rather limp ending, especially after the change in pace towards the end. Then again, I was never a fan of the show in the first place, so I might be a bit biased

I will say the last two episodes were the only thing that kept this from being a 10/10 for me.

The ending did not ruin Toradora for me. Nothing ruined it, since it was an enjoyable anime (if you watch it English dub that is).
