| I kinda figured Taiga's dad would end up being a dickhead. I guess part of me was hoping he was being fo srs. Taiga was so cute in the angel outfit!! Ryuuji is so awesome, trying to win for Taiga's sake! Minorin too!! And LOL at the end when Minorin said she might be a lesbian!! Soooo random and out of the blue!! XD |
| So yeah it's not news but Taiga's father was indeed an ***hole. Ryuuji and Minorin winning the race together made me shed a tear or two. Minorin telling Ryuuji that she might be lesbian and he's reply made me lol (i know deep in my heart that she ain't lesbian :3) |
 |
| Best episode so far to me. Manly tears were shed. |
| This is my favorite episode so far!! This was just great and this made me smile so much :D Poor Taiga but i'm glad she's okay and well it doesn't matter if she CAN be alone cause she will never be. <3 |
| Ami: Perfect, like always. ^^ Taiga: Loli Angel. ^^ Minori: HOMO!? Ryuuji: Good to see him go crazy again, I think he got more from his dad then he thinks. Overall, it was a well executed episode. Probably the most important one up until now. 5/5 |
 |
| this anime is AWESOME! |
| Taiga's dad is a deadbeat. I guess that's why she's angry most of the time. |

| There's so many great moments in this episode: Seeing Taiga in an angel costume, Ryuuji holding hands with Minorin, TaigaxKitamura dance, the race, Ami in her HOT costume and everyone dancing by the fire. The ending is soooo BITTERSWEET. Gotta love bunkasai! |
 |
| Great episode. The conclusion of the race was a perfect example of how even a cliched scene could be powerful, with the right music and proper execution. |

| Beautiful episode in every way. God damn. Minorin and Ryuuji clapping, the run, and the final scenes between those two and Taiga/Kitamura were fantastic. I especially loved Kitamura's description of a dance. |

| I don't know if I will cry or laugh.. its so emotional then at the same time sooo funny.. Damn, this episode is great... And the teacher crying at the end when they are around the bonfire. Lol! |
| Minori just got added to my fav characters list |
 |
| I was rewatching this episode today and noticed something. Isn't Ami's line "A pig who can't fly is merely a pig" a Porco Rosso reference? Other than that, running scene is just as awesome as ever. |
| "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 |
| I'm so glad that Minorin-Ryuuji conflict was resolved! The way they made up made so happy ;-; Seriously, I know what it feels like to disappoint someone to the point where you can't even look them in the eye :( Also, how the heck did Minorin glomp all those guys o.O!? Being all horizontal and sh**! XD |
| Kinda had a feeling Taiga's dad would do that but wasn't expecting it at the moment that it happened. I was also expecting Takasu to just run ahead during the race but him finishing together with Minorin was sweet :) I was actually tearing up during the race haha. This show continually makes me feel happy |

| minorin crying while clapping. dat feels. glad im rewatching this series. tears everywhere. poor taiga :'( but she has such great friends |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| So many emotions; my favorite episode so far! :D |
| This was one of the worst single episodes I've seen in a long time. |
| so many of dem feels: minorin clapping whilst crying; ryuji running the track, etc. |
 |
| Am I the only one who is starting to get annoyed by Kitamura and Minorin? I'm actually starting to dislike them more than Ami. Why the heck did Minorin have to ruin the running contest? Ryuuji should have won it alone. I mean I know that she is Taiga's friend and all, but she shouldn't just butt in like that. Kitamura is dull as fucking ever and he stole the dance with Taiga that should have been Ryuuji's. And Taiga is still feeling alone... :( I really hope that Ryuuji and Taiga will finally realize their love for each other soon... On a happier note, Taiga was pretty in that angel dress :) |

TAO_Arecibo said: Trust me, patience is a virtue in terms of Taiga and Ryuji. It'll be well rewarded. I have a feeling you'll like the Christmas arc a lot... and the arc after that. =) Well I hope so, I mainly watching because of them :) |
|
TAO_Arecibo said: I should probably tell you this... on the very last episode, make sure to watch after the credits... it has a bit more to it. Thanks, but I always do :) I've already learned to watch the post-credits part in every movie/series/anime/game :D |
|
| Strong ending to a heavy arc; easily a 5. |
| What an amazing episode, enjoyed every minute of it. |
| this race reminds me of a race in Kaichou wa Maid-sama :D |
| As long as Ryuuji is there, Taiga will never be alone! |

| Ugh. So in the end this whole conflict with Minori could've easily been avoided if she only shared her knowledge on Taiga's dad with Ryuji earlier. But of course then it will be more realistic and there will be no forced drama, we can't have that now, can we? Of course not, cause we have to reach the audiences 'feels' just because.. Oh and I love how when Minori gets thrown to the ground by those runners, all of a sudden she has a change of heart and wants Ryuji to win.. Why? There was no reason for the sudden change. |

| Ryuuji was running like a mad man, it was epic! Glad he worked out everything with Minori. Poor him didn't even get is dance with Taiga x) Ami in that dress was just... too hot O_O It was a really sweet episode. Taiga blush at the end ~ |

| Angel Taiga, hngggggg |
| saaauch a kawaii ending |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Ryuuji the racer is the best Ryuuji confirmed. |
| Minori is so random at some times. But she seems to be rejecting Ryuuji however she can so that maybe keep herself far from the TaigaxRyuuji relationship? Or so it looks for me. Yeey for another 12ep to come 'cause this is awesome! |
 |
| This felt like an ending episode and then u find out you're only halfway through with the anime. xD |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Taiga and Ryuuji dance denied, but they get alittle closer with their respective crushes. Yet at the same time i feel the drama train doesn't stop with just Taiga's dad since Ryuuji clearly still has father issues and Taiga's family issues don't end here. At the same time the other characters seem like they have things hidden as well, Minorin and Ami. Half way mark here for me, for future lookers of the forum, one of the best anime at the half way mark so far. |
 |
| I wonder if the father will appear again, and what did he do with the stuff at Taiga's house? Good ending. |
| Taiga's dad is such an asshole. Taiga looks so adorable,like a little angel :3 Student council has to interrupt at the worse possible time,seem like a possible confession was coming... Race time,such intense emotions. Best episode yet. |
