Pretty funny episode.

I liked Ami's swimsuit suggestion for Taiga and Ryuji's attempt to save Taiga from embarrassment with the "modification" falling out.

I couldnt do a comments while watching section because my WMP was not cooperating but I would like to say that that is perhaps one of the best episodes of the series so far. It had just about everything including multiple moments of Minori randomness that were incredible. Im also glad that they took an original spin on the conflict between Ami and Taiga. Lots of great moments in this episode and cant wait for the next one.

Note to self:

-When making pads, make sew them in or make them less easy to fly out. Then again, getting chucked halfway across the pool probably doesn't help anything.

With that said, I wonder if Ami is just playing with Ryuji just to piss of Taiga, or if she's trying to catch his guard down to feed her ego, considering he's seen her in some fairly unflattering moments.

Also, at least it's wasn't another onsen episode for this season.

Really liked this episode, mainly because of how they perceived Taiga in it. Her character is a blatant tsundere but they still make her reactions to the events are unpredictable. 4/5

Would like to be thrown into a pool when you do not know how to swim having to rely on others but knowing that IT IS EMBARRASSING to the point you have to lose conscious.

I know feel the feelings of Taiga. IT IS A INSULT! Being part of the Brigade of "LOVE TAIGA" I JUST DEFEND HER!

Noooo Inko you must live youre too cool to die... Nothing like the originality of what ryuuji did though actually slipping the bra pad in her swimsuit though Taiga's getting mroe annoying as this series goes on but then I'm not too big on loli so that might be why. Minorin is made of funny though breaking off their arguement like that and of course noticing the obvious lie of taiga's breast cups. Ryuuji is right though breast size really is a minor thing so she shouldn't worry so much about it.

To whoever says Taiga hasn't helped Ryuuji to hook up with Minorin, she has. She can't blurt out he likes her. But she's told him of places where she works and constantly tags him along when she knows Minorin will also be there. She even made sure to keep the Ami/Ryuuji situation under wraps by keeping Minori in the dark and ensuring Minori doesn't thinks badly of him.

Sure enough, Taiga has a sour attitude about it, but she has helped him somewhat. Ryuuji just doesn't have the guts to follow through like Taiga did with Kitamura.

^^I'd like to add that one of the reasons she said to Minori that no one was there is because she didn't want Minori to think that Ryuuji already has someone in his mind or it would be over for him if she saw them together.

Wine moar pl0x. Seriously, first you shit on the episode about it being full of fanservice then you fap all over Taiga in a swimsuit, not to mention you probably burst over 9000 blood vessels moaning and groaning about Ami this, Ami that. Lol at you saying "violence=might" when you claimed to be against violence. You need some anger management; some psychotherapy would help too.

I found the teacher WEIRD. Why would she blush suddenly when announcing pool time and then suddenly get MAD cause things are being talked about that she does not like. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, strange.

Do you even pay attention to the episode or do you just watch the animation go by and then pretend to understand it? For someone who claims he has plenty of experience with the Japanese language, you seem to misinterpret many things or just simply does not even understand. The teacher was excited for summer time because it's a chance for her to hook up with someone since she's getting older, and then got angered by the students' idle chatter because she's jealous of them being young.

Anyway, I though this was a good episode. It definitely showed an insecure dere side of Taiga. There were quite a few moe moments for Taiga as well. Too bad Inko probably bit the dust this episode.

Best line of the episode. We need to see more of Ryuuji's milf. She's completely hilarious.

Hmmmmmmm, I still find the teacher's personality weird. This is anime but to me it weirded me out and I have different views so yeah, it does not mean that I need to see someone. Psychotherapy is crap anyways. Studied and know it.

Hell Onizuka would be a better teacher with his weird attitude. :D

The teacher in this episode was strange even though the other teachers were more normal. I feel that teacher might play a role later on more than just in this episode.

QFT.
Also, he's one the manliest male leads I've seen. Not a lot of men would have reached inside a girl's swimsuit to insert her fake breast. Very refreshing.

Anyway, most of the characters in Toradora! are very well written, voiced and their character designs are nice. They feel more real than most anime characters.

This episode only reinforces the idea that this is not a good adaption to Toradora. We are getting not even half of its true potential.

This was a bit of an improvement on Taiga, I think. The past couple eps she's been too stereotypical Rie typecast bitch, but this ep had her particularly cute and loveable. But Minorin still wins.

I think that was pretty clear, she's an old hag now and very jealous from young beautiful chicks. While they were complaining about being embarrassed etc at the pool, the teacher wished she was still young as well and be able to do those things.

God they did it again. Toradora brings me the biggest laff every single week. Ryuuji saw the invisible and did the unthinkable. He's fighting da powaa.

Ryuuji pulling Taiga underwater to slip in breast pad = ORIGINAL

Great to see what's going on post-episode 6. Ami still in bitter rivalry against Taiga and Minorin is pacifier and the wisest of them. Every single moment got me. And from here on, I'll just let GIF animation do the talking. (56k warning)


chibs, you missed the one where ami threw taiga 50 meters into the pool ;D

Wasabi, you do not cease to amaze me.... you are a good guy.
well, apart from this, i got nothing to say other than: if you think ami is being a bitch, take a better look at taiga, she is bitchy too. but does that make me stop liking her? no, does that make me stop liking ami? no. btw, ami is a model, she is not being slutty. of course she would like to see how she looks, and praise herself. that's what models do.

as for the episode...... cute, and pretty nice.
ami being cute at the start of the episode had me, i would have fallen all over her if i was ryuuji. EVEN with taiga there. also..... is ami using the same shorts as the ones takasu is using in the OP? they really look the same XD
Inko-chan bit dust...... i had to lol there
taiga getting hit by the mop was just awesome.... you don't usually see that xD
Ami was being cute again with takasu... i am wondering if she really does have any feelings towards him......
Minorin lifting taiga was enjoyable....
The teacher made me laugh.... isn't she scared of takasu and taiga? xD
ami's joke of the child's swimsuit fitting taiga xD
ami in swimsuit = <3333333
ecchi, sketchy, one-touchy xD
ryuuji's mom is definitely..... umm..... awesome
pettan pettan tsurupettan.....
lol... why does maruo have all the girls? xD
Ami throwing taiga deep into the pool made me laugh xD
what power
lol... what a way to put back a fake breast....
minorin really is love...... cannot wait for next episode.... it seems like they are going to be fighting for ryuuji or something. "takasu competition?"

Gosh Taiga is so cute, but I sure wish she'd appreciate Ryuugi more. This anime would be 10 times better if she at least showed him a little affection every now and then instead of just telling him to shut up. He does freaking everything for that girl and she's never once helped him get Minorin.


She does, in her own way. You can see she's kind of got feelings for him by the way she acts specifically around him (telling him shes sorry when no ones around, constantly hitting him, in shock when he's with Ami..etc). I wouldn't be surprised if she realizes she has feelings for him later on.

Fantastic episode once again, this series is so much better than approximately every romance/comedy show out there... Character development really shines in this one, and I just love the direction (the Kushieda finger pose at the end was Gurren Lagann-esque !). Then, there was a bit of fanservice in this episode but that's not really the point here, it serves the bigger purpose of portraying the feelings and psychology of the characters, really. I mean, haven't you been a teenager one day (or maybe some of you still are), and have you never encountered those kinds of situations? I can tell you I have, and more than once !

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I liked this episode a lot.
Not only because it was funny (well there hasn't been a ToraDora! epi that wasn't funny), but because Takasu is so kind (all the sewing thing and the rescue action in the pool) and i also liked how he didn't feel comfortable when Taiga was showing him her swimsuit ("put on some clothes or you catch a cold"). kawaii desu.

anyway, good ep! taiga FTW
