vaberella said: ALTIMIT said: The scene near the end where Taiga hugs Minori kinda look like parents (Ryuuj and Minorin) and their daughter (Taiga) to me :-) Really? I kept seeing Taiga rubbing her face on Minori's breasts and kept thinking that Miniorin was getting aroused. Haha, I was thinking that too. Good episode! Ryuuji's determination to win the race was very impressive. |
| Get a life and stop reading my signature... |
| epic episode, specially when Taiga tore her dress. |
FTGT said: Somehow this Student Council President (or "Amis Twin-sister" as I call her) So I'm not the only one who thinks the Student Council President and Ami look too much alike? XD About Minorin possibly being a lesbian; I could imagine Ryuuji sitting there thinking, "Oh holy hell, I hope not." I actually don't think that Minorin was just being random when she asked that, since she was speaking normally instead of using her usual wacky diction. That being said, I don't think that she and Taiga love each other in a romantic sense, which is actually kind of strange since I'm usually quick to claim two female characters as a yuri couple. About Minorin being with Kitamura: They seem like go together well because of they're wacky personalities, but when I see them together the feel like a couple of street performers or entertainers rather than a romantic couple. About Minorin being with Ryuuji: I sort of thought that this pairing wouldn't work before the last couple of episodes. Ami was right about Minorin being the Sun to Ryuuji's Moon, but I think that Ryuuji is really starting to level with her. I'm not too sure about Minorin's feelings toward Ryuuji, though. I don't she had an interest in anyone for a while. |

| Beautiful episode, everything came together so well. Minorin ftfw! |

| Great episode, i really liked when Ryuji ran like a mad beast ^^ I also laughed a lot when Minorin said she's maybe lesbian. Awesome ^^ But... fanti said: I wanted to see Taiga dance with Ryuuji but that didn't happen :( That's a bit sad, he deserved a dance with her... |
| Great episode! |
 |
| How cute.. Did Ami's tone of voice changed midway into the episode to a more mature one?  Edit: Actually, I just realized that the student council president and Ami are 2 different individuals. Never mind.. *facepalm* |

| Tenori Taiga is awesome. So is Ami. I loved Ryuuji's look on his face when he was racing. I'll agree with the yuri theory; KushiedaxTaiga and RyuujixAmi would be nice to see. And KitamuraxStudent Council President. ...and they lived happily ever after. Yeah, that sounds right. |
| Awesome Episode. Finally Ryuuji's scary face was useful. Like he said, this ep has mixed all kinds of emotions. Good to see Ryuuji and Minori getting well again :> |
| Ryuuji's face was priceless. |
    |
| That was a very nice episode :3 Ryuuji and Minori were awesome. |
 |
| For some reason I feel really tired after watching this episode :S |
     |
| stupid stupid dad!!! minorin was right after all!! see! he should have apologized to minorin sooner.. but.. i'm glad it ended okay... and that taiga was so cute!! hahaha.. at least she was able to dance with kitamura... ahahah... and minorin asking herself if she was a lesbian. hahahahah :)) :p |
| Wow Taiga was so cute. I was so desesperate when Minori told Ryuuji to run I almost cried and screamed with Minori too. This was a really well done episode! |
     |
| lol i too thought there was going to be a fight for taiga's sake, and minori somehow involved. close but no punches thrown and taiga's father didn't get the beating he deserved. *sigh* i think this is the first episode i see taiga smile like that.  |
| This was one of those rare good episodes. Excellent stuff. |
| Fear the finger of death |
| Wait a minute, I somehow dislike this episode. Even though they cleared up the misunderstandings between Minori, Ryuuji and Taiga, WHY IS TAIGA DANCING WITH KITAMURA INSTEAD? This does not make sense to me, and neither it made sense with what Ryuuji said earlier : He wanna get back to taiga. |

Lol, yea, where's the 'supposed' dance with Taiga that was promised to the winner of the race? I'd just love to see a scene like that. |
| This is the cheesiest episode I have ever seen. |
| OMG EPIC EPISODE! Berserk Ryuuji was awesome too. You just have to love those killer eyes during in berserk mode. :D |
| loved this episode so much i could watch it again a few more times, but i want to know what happens next,so...no^^ and gosh, Ryuuji in bersek mode was so funny ^^ |
 |
| I need some help IDing the background music that starts at ~10:29 in this episode. I don't think it's in the OST. If anyone knows the name of the song or somewhere it's located, could they toss that info my way? |
| Wow oh, quite the drama. That was certainly the putrid drama. Sickeningly stiff and painful. Well I'm glad it all purified with that night's bonfire. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Taiga with tied hair was KAWAIIII desu~ I started crying a little when I saw Minori crying...  As for how Taiga won, well maids are Taiga's food so... I mean whole competition were maids, of course my little angel would win. ^^ Well the show would be shorter if they let Ryuuji get to Taiga on stage... but still the race was fine, we got to see Ryuuji in berserk mode. xD The end was ok... the drama ended, the arguments were cleared and connection between love birds is better now. ^^ |
Shwele said: I started crying a little when I saw Minori crying... Yeah, that scene was cheesy but still made me choke up. Good ep! |
 |
| one of the best episode from this anime! i love it! |
| I think all the plot about her father is overrated, it's not a big deal what he did. Too much drama for nothing. Minorin is the only character i really like from this show, i hope she gets more screentime. |
  |
| does anyone know what taiga said before "who cares about fathers" or was that just a scream? |
 |
| Bwuahahaha minorin might be lesbian! thatd be quite a twist on things.. I somehow knew taiga's father would be like this though |
 |
sniW said: I combined some screenshots for a full bodyshot of Ami: I... I love you..... Anyway yeahhh this was seriously a great episode. Great development on everyone's part. Screw Taiga's father, she's got so many great friends supporting her and Kushieda and Ryuuji are like her family. I guess that's why she wasn't that depressed afterwards. But if I were Taiga, I don't know how I would trust him again. Like Kushieda said, this had happened in the exact same way just ONE year ago!! But I guess Taiga had a little bit of hope in her heart that this time he was different. Guess not. I'm totally for KushiedaxRyuuji now. Forget the Taiga crap. Taiga looks great with Kitamura. But Kushieda and Ryuuji look so good together, their opposing personalities make them perfect for each other :D I'm glad that Kushieda and Ryuuji made up without having to have an awkward moment. I was kind of hoping that Ryuuji would try to find the opportunity to confess to Kushieda. Cuz apparently doing it in front of the Cultural Festival Bonfire is like the best chance to do it. Owell :3 WHAT THE FREAK? KUSHIEDA B-B-B-B-B-BEAST MODE?!?! |
| Oooh they blew a pretty large budget on this episode. Pretty art and great animation. Really good conclusion to this arc. Considering they made the halfway point this awesome, I'm expecting great things from the ending. |
 |
| awww Taiga looks like an angel. :D |
| Ryuji x Minorin lol |
| that's it,toradora's getting a 10 from me xD,this episode was jus too great! finally ryuuji realised that Taiga's father's an asshole also he apologised to Minori,and they hold hands:),i'm all in for Ryuuji x Minori,they're a great couplpe,and Minori's too awesome :) 5/5 PS:i hope she isn't a lesbian,please :P |

| In the end Taiga's dad didn't show up. Good that Ryuuji and Minori have made up. Another great episode yet again. |
| Very touching episode. |
| Right now I'm hoping for a Ryuuji/Ami pairing, but we'll see. |
| Awesome ep. Angel Taiga was adorable but when Takasu and Minori started clapping it made me cry. Go burn in hell Taiga's father !!! |
| Awww, *huggles Taiga* |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| This was such an amazing episode... I'm not sure what else to say. I loved all of the character and relationship development... I have to say, while Ryuuji x Taiga is great, so are the other pairings. :) |
| This episode was amazing. I'm glad Ryuuji and Minorin made up. I was expecting a simple apology but that scene was ten times better. I'm rooting for a RyuujixTaiga shipping in the end but there's something in my heart that wants a RyuujixAmi pairing. Or rather Ryuuji pairing with Ami, I'd just rather it be me. |
