Good episode. It was really serious in a way, but I'm not quite sure what Kusheida's feelings are to Ryuuji's subtle confession... hopefully it'll continue to be as good next ep!

Nice one but no I did not catch it, what was the part in the Ouran club that the reference comes from?

Great episode and nice turnaround! Liked the idea of the the target scaring the pranksters lol. So many moment in the episode when Ryuuji became closer to his friends, that summer would probably be very memorable for them at the least aha. With all the memorable moments between the main characters, I wonder what would happen next in the progression?

Hmmm was it me or did Taiga look slightly jealous when they were talking O_O? Ooh Ami makes her move on Takasu :3, interesting, a relatively enjoyable episode this time.

i am really liking minorin or ami for ryuuji now. taiga is like an awesome little sister to him but i don't want him to feel that way for her. tho it seems taiga is getting jealous of ryuuji whenever he gets closer to a girl.

I'm starting to like Kushieda... She's really nice when she's serious. I don't like Ami, why would Ryuuji be with her? I don't really like that pairing, I can't see the chemistry. D: Also, why he'd be lonely without her? o_o

Very well done episode, I didn't see it coming ^^

I'm really liking this series so far, with the mix of both comedy, drama, and character development. Kushieda and Kitamura really work together! They both have enthusiastic, energic personalities. Anyways, it seems that we have more potential romance popping up. I think Ami is attracted to Ryuuji because he accepted her even with her two-sided personality that she had to adopt when in the modeling business and all. I don't really know which pairings I like the best, although I still predict that we'll have a RyuujixTaiga ending since they're the two leads, but I'm hoping the writers surprise us either by putting a plot twist in their relationship or by going a different way entirely pairing-wise.

Well this episode was fine with me... nothing more. There were funny parts which I enjoyed... Well as soon as I heard scream I knew it that that group was up to something. I thought they explained Taiga situation, but it appears she was clueless... ^^
Maybe I didn't like this episode because it wasn't about Ryuuji and Taiga getting closer, but Ryuuji and Minori. Their connection is getting deeper... I hope that Taiga and Ryuuji will be together in the end. *I can't even imagine them kissing, KYA!* O//////O

I think this ep is quite good, a surprising twist in which Minorin isn't afraid of ghosts plus I like how there's a hidden meaning behind the ghost (love) conversation.

damn Toradora is making it hard for me to decide my fav girl.

well the sun and moon analogy was pretty nice, but the moon shines the most when the sun's around haha. or something like that.

I thought that was the analogy Ami was going to give, but obviously it wouldn't have fit in that context/wouldn't have fit with what she was trying to say... Either way, I agree. The moon supposedly can only shine because the Sun exists. :\ Something like that, yeah.

Anyway, I feel so naive, haha. XD I didn't expect Minori to actually be someone who likes horror... but I get the logic - or rather, the "reverse" logic.

I really enjoyed the episode~! It felt like there was a good amount of both character and relationship development... I'm looking forward to seeing more of Minori. :D

This trip you really start to see things set into motion.

Minorin has her chance and blows it completely. Every time things got serious with Ryuuji she starts talking batshit nonesense about UFOs and Ghosts.

Ami gets the situation half right. But she doesn't realize it's Taiga, not her, that's the equal. Though i would have respected the pairing since Ami is pretty intelligent and on the ball.

This trip you start to see Taiga's shifting her mental focus away from Kitamara and towards Ryuuji.

Lol'ed at this...

you may have not realized the real meaning behind Minori's words at the end they practically declared to each other as to when Minori said to Ryuuji she wanted to show him ghosts and Ryuuji said the same thing so that = "i wanted to show you that i like you"

I like Minori more as the comedy relief. If she becomes the main girl, it's going to be boring for me.

Taiga is the most realistic choice here. She has her ups and downs but she always comes through in the end.

Ami is PERFECT! But it might just turn into a H show then, LoL. Also, she's mine. No "Sketchy, One Touchy" for Ryuuji. ^^

Fun episode overall. Not the best, but decent.

I'm well aware. I generally can't stand over-the-top cryptic dialogue. Also, most anime male protagonists, like Ryuuji, do the usual "huh?! nani?!?" response that type of dialogue anyways. So it's rather pointless.

I just happen to really like Ami.
Alot of you hate her for being a btchy type.
But I have a whole different view on that.
I do think Ami has a good heart, and just does not want ryuuji to end up with minorin cause they won't be able to hold a relationship. As said with the moon/sun conv.

I really hope to see a really intense ryuuji/ami scene but I guess that will never happen.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Ami is obviously in love with Ryuji btw xin09. I also believe she want's him more because he's something that seems unattainable because she can't just make him fawn over her with her usual tricks that work on everyone else.

Ami is smart, knows what's really going on, that despite that Taiga & Ryuuji help each other to chase after their crushes they love each other, Ami say'd that she is suited for him more, but before that when she say'd same thing with out finishing the sentence she wanted to say Taiga is more suited for him, later she just changed her mind about what shes gonna say to him, Ami mite like Ryuuji yes, but its possible that shes hitting on Ryuuji cause she wants to teases Taiga, to make her jealous

Taiga x Ryuuji :)

Its kinda weird the whole dialogue with Minorin and Ryuuji about ghosts and such and by that i mean the whole choice to use it as a double meaning.

I'm still kind of confused on it, at first I thought, after reading comments it was basically being said that Minorin wants love, doesn't believe it if she sees it, but still will chase after it...

Or if its supposed to be related to Ryuuji, she wants the love, but doesn't believe Ryuuji actually is in love with her (as she believes his heart lies elsewhere), but she still hopes for it.

And Ryuuji basically saying he will prove it.

.... Or something like that Idk... Anime... Y U SO CRYPTIC?

On another note, personally I am not much of a fan of Taiga, and I was thinking of dropping this anime because Taiga reminded me way too much of Louise in Zero no Tsukaima, heck, its even the same voice actor, and I really did not like that character at all and the anime.

But, I decided to continue to watch it, and thankfully, many traits I did not like in Louise, which are present in Taiga, are at least toned down considerably in Toradora, and the voice acting isn't quite as annoying either when she does Taiga.

Thanks to this, I've been able to slowly enjoy Toradora more as time goes on.

I don't think Minorin would be a fit for Ryuuji, either Ami or Taiga. Though at this point I am not 100% certain if Ami and Ryuuji would last or if it would only be a fling or one time thing or whatever with Ami, as shes probably more interested in Ryuuji only because her tricks she uses on many other men don't work on him, so she might get bored after. But I guess I would have to see how her character develops and such in the show.

Dunno what'll happen with this Anime, but I wouldn't feel bad if Ami ends up with Ryuuji, after all she's the one who seems to understand him more than the others. Just my opinion anyways, Taiga seems to be the obvious end here, but I expect bigger things from this show
