I really want to watch Toaradora and I've tried watching the starting episodes but the girl was hitting the mc so much that it was starting to get irritating, I know it was done for comedy and it works if it's for a few times, but she hits him so much and for no apparent reason. The mc doesn't even defend himself, and it is really irritating to watch. 

I want to ask if this gets better and she stops hitting him once she goes through character development.

She doesn't stop doing it BUT she does it less and the context is different. The most annoying part to you is what you have already watched.
There's even a momment where Ryuji holds her aginst the door for a couple of seconds but that's drama, it's important and shows Ryuji genuinelly angry for a couple of seconds.
Just keep watching and don't take it seriously. She is less of a spoiled brat moving forward.

I completely thought the same thing and almost dropped it until like 5 or 6 episodes and that’s when some real character development starts to happen and it starts to get better

I thought Taiga was a sweetheart, but I guess not everyone thinks that. She grows a lot less violent against Ryuji early on.

trope from 2008 are not what trope are today. you set yourself for failure and then come crying. man up a little. trend go and come back it's how it is. you cannot watch an old anime with a modern mindset it's a disservice to the time it was created.

@MOON_SENSEI Ohh I now understand, then you must know that the name Taiga actually means Tiger;

Taiga is known as the Pocket Tiger because she is small and aggressive.
She is an aggressive person that’s it, but I promise there is some serious characters development in the story

Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world.The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility.Everywhere you look in this world,wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well.As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist.The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, initiates war and hatred is born in order to protect love.

I dropped this 5 times but forced myself to finish it to see why people say it's a masterpiece. She never stops being annoying. Towards the end of the show she tones down I think but just spare yourself the annoyance and skip this chief you aren't missing out on much. The other characters aren't good either in my opinion. I think the only characters I liked were Ryuji's mom and his teacher

The anime explains multiple times …

Ryuuji is a well built, naturally strong, physically tough, and a rugged guy like his father, with a kind, generous, thoughtful, considerate, patient, understanding character.

Taiga is a short, petite, small framed, physically weak, little girl, with a strong, take no BS, brutally honest, short tempered character, and being physical with people, whether hugging her friend Minori or hitting the guys (especially Ryuuji), is how she expresses herself.

This is to help the audience realize that when Taiga is hitting Ryuuji, it is not harming, hurting, or injuring him at all. In fact, I don’t think he ever has any medical problems (bandaids, bandages, casts, etc) from what Taiga does to him.

Because you are not following the story explanation (background, plot, setup) and the character designs, interactions, dialogue, you are missing all the key cues that are supposed to help you understand that it is not a problem at all.

So when you watch this anime next time, don’t worry about it all, don’t get annoyed, don’t feel bad for Ryuuji, don’t hate Taiga, just ignore it, and realize it is just a comedic aspect of the characters’ relationship.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series and judge each based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

@MOON_SENSEI to me was not a problem dealing with this aggressive characters (she is also hated ad feared at her school because of her behavior)

I think there are different reasons to dislike the show, one example is Minori…
in general I believe characters can be silly at times;

this show is called a Masterpiece for three reasons:
1. it came out in 2008 so it was Amazing and Unique at the time;
2. the development is Great and very deep, it has nothing to do with modern romances;
3. it’s a good story, if you take the raw story out of the anime it’s very good

Don't get it. If you don't like it then just don't watch it. Why force yourself? Taiga grows as a character throughout the series and you judge the anime by the first episodes, it's not how it works... I see so many dudes getting butthurt over girls hiting guys in anime (Wagnaria for example), it's hilarious.

I mean, it's Rom Com where one of the main characters is a Tsundere. she hits him, sure, but it happens less and less as the series goes on. if it's going to ruin it for you, then just don't watch it

I'm not judging it just after one episode, I've watched three episodes. Also, it's not like that I don't like the anime, her character was being annoying that's why I asked if it gets better or not because I didn't want my experience to be ruined due to a character.

And I said this before too, I don't have a problem with girls hitting the mc, I've seen it happen in many animes and sometimes it's funny too (Nisekoi for example). It's just that here she does it rather too much to suit my taste

Because there's a difference between doing something and overdoing it. It's not like I have a thing against violent tsunderes, but she overdoes the violence part.

The sole reason for this thread was to ask a simple question: will she start doing less violence and get character development?

Many people have already answered that and it seems like she will get better, so I don't get why ppl are getting mad at me for asking such a simple question

It really feels like you do though or you wouldn't need to make a thread because of how much it irritated you. Just saying.

Also, it's a given that she will get less aggressive over time, it's the entire point of a tsundere.

No it isn't, and if you think it is, you're ill informed. It's just Taiga being a brat and acting out. She shouldn't be hitting Ryuji at all, but the creator wanted to make her a tSuNdErE 🙄 and an annoying one at that

I would only say, just bare with it. It will be worth it. And apparently, I don't know much but, after many times rewatching ToraDora, I think it has something to do with her psychology and behavior relating to something.. (it will be revealed soon, mostly everyone could relate to that 'something' and its major impact on an individual's personality.)

Additionally, I could also say, you will get to know her better soon. Just don't take every violent thing she does to heart. Let's say, it's anime logic but really irritating and nonsensical if it is in reality.

Hahah, sure is nice to finally have some empathy on this website. I don't mind when there's a setup for abuse humor, but I do hate when it's random since I've seen hundreds of anime where "female is angry cause male is annoying" which stretches to either appearance, personality. Or her just directing her attack at a random male, even if he wasn't involved in her situation. Further lengthened with it being a constant catalyst with misunderstanding humor.

That being said, many people here are right. Toradora is an outlier. It starts a bit rough and I agree it makes certain parts irritating to view, and the first episode is pretty obnoxious. The whole story behind it is solid, though. If I had any complaints, from my perspective, Ryuuji should have had a few more moments of standing up to Taiga. But I'd say watch it until the ninth episode. If you still don't like it by then, feel free to drop it.
