| I still want my Ami x Minorin ending. Seriously though, great episode. Especially loved the career assessment paper airplane at the beginning. I've wanted to do the same thing with similar paperwork. The drama was perfect, the development was a perfect pace and I just all around enjoyed the whole thing. The last scene was pretty damn epic too. |

| I think you guys are underestimating this show. It's not going to have a last minute coupling (that's badly done anyway)...I know a lot of animes do, but Toradora is above that, which is demonstrated throughout by the excellent writing/direction/everything else as well as the very not cliche...almost everything. Have a little more faith in it. I don't know what they're going to do, but it'll be good, unless this isn't suiting your tastes in which case blah. |
velcom said: Were we watching the same show? While there was always a chance for the other girls, the story always was, and always will be about the relationship that Taiga and Ryuuji share, and how they grow to depend on one another from what began as a simple friendship and the among the oddest of situations.Yuruku said: really hasen't been, why else would they develop a 'different' romance for 21episodes. taiga only just realised then. its stupid, usually with these kind of shows almost everyone wants the 2 main people to end up toegther but this show has been much more split mainly cause they haven't even been making a romance between them most of the series. taiga and ryuji have come of as extremely close friends on maybey a brother and sister level for the whole series.velcom said: stupid script writers, they are going for ryuji x taiga. (though the somehow still are doing it amazingly well) but really they should have developed it from the start rarther the minron x ryuji for like 21eps because thats just bad writing, seriously. but gah im annoyed, would still love a minorin ending though.... oh and LOL HARUTA HAS A GF?? ..It's called "Toradora" for a reason, it has ALWAYS been Ryuuji x Taiga. x.x In other news!  |

Kamadaki said: Well, it was to be expected. I mean honestly, past all the hopeful thinking, did anyone really think that it was going to be anything BUT Taiga and Ryuuji? The show IS called TORA (jap for tiger) DORA (katakana for dragon is ドラゴン, or in romaji [bold]DO-RA[/bold]-GO-N). So come on, this show had one destiny from the very beginning. lol I still wish for Minori x Ryuuji though... :[ haha Minorin x Ryuuji seems much better personality wise to me aswell. However, this is such a well done series that even though i don't supposrt it as much i think they'll pull off the ending beautifully with Taiga x Ryuuji., weather or not i like this pairing. |
| I liked this episode a lot, even though I'm not the biggest fan of Taiga. I mean, she's a pretty good character, but I really don't like the way the plot is going. That last scene was pretty damn intense and its going to kill me a week to wait for the next episode, but its not like there's any real suspense about what's going to happen anyway. |
| The last scene in this episode was probably the best scene so far in the series. I was getting worried about the slowness of the ep in the first half, but in the last half was just a drama explosion. This show never ceases to overthrow my expectations. During the beginning, it seemed like a really dumb show, then it started to grow on me, and now its just ridiculous in its intensity. Love it. |
| I dunno, nothing really surprised me or anything. I almost rolled my eyes at how overly-dramatic the last scene was, though. |
 |
| It was overly dramatic, but I thought it was done correctly, unlike most other over dramatic scenes out there. |
| Minorin is a yangire i tell ya. It's pretty dramatic, but it's pretty good. I can't wait what goin' to happen in the next episode |
 |
| OMG screw Minorin >< why did she had to say all that bullsh*t??? couldn't she keep quit?? she was my favorite character in this serie up untill now but man that sucked... I hate people medling in other peoples life...It would have been better for everyone a ryujiixKushieda or RyujiixAmi taiga should have stayed with Kitamura.... I hope it get's better in the next 2 episodes cuz this sux... |
 |
| Wow! I thought the scene with Ryuuji+Taiga at night on the streets will be the big moment of the ep, but as always, it got pretty intense in the end. Actually, Minorin scared the s**t out of me.. Oh I can't wait to see how things will turn out! |
Kamadaki said: So come on, this show had one destiny from the very beginning. lol At the beginning I thought it was a show about their interactions while helping each other : a RxT ending was so previsible it didn't make sense in a story where most of the previsible events were avoided or played with. I feel like I've been fooled into believing in an original ending only to be deceived near the end. It's frustrating. As far as I'm concerned, if there's a good ending I'll be really pissed off. |

From the name of the series, and from the description of it. And after watching the first few episodes. I thought it was pretty obvious it was gonna be TxR. From the very getgo it's been flat out obvious. After all how many animes have you seen where the 2 main(male and a female) help each other out, and DO NOT wind up together. maybe 2 out of 200? |

| Amazing. A bit of everything. Taiga's outfit for selling chocolate was cute. |

| Man, I just love Ami, and was always supporting her even though I knew it would never happen. After this episode I just love her even more because of my foot fetish. Why didn't she just come straight out with it. What idiot doesn't want to date a model? |
| That last confrontation scene was just awesome best scene in the episode, great to see some closure taking place in these last few episodes. |
| finally. i'm ready for this to be over. going to miss it when it's gone though i think. |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Anyone who sees Taiga yelling thinks her mom was dead or something :| Too much drama is too much. |
| Loved it. The classroom scene came out of nowhere, BANG. Toradora does build up emotion so so well. Don't get why people are complaining about too much drama, it is a dramatic series after all and would be dull if it was exactly like real life and you do watch these things to be entertained. |

DaBigD said: Man... So Haruto has a girlfriend, that's unexpected. And Noto likes Kihara, just as expected. Yacchan is awesome. A-min...well...I still like her the best, but she should've had acted before and snatched Ryuuji. Minorin is delirious because Taiga doesn't know that it was Ryuuji that saved her and he heard everything. She doesn't want poor Taiga to be left with all her feelings unanswered. And it's official now, if it wasn't already: it's Taiga x Ryuuji ending, much to many people's (including my) dismay. My thoughts exactly. I tried to deny it, but TxR it is. |
 |
| I hope that Ryuuji goes and sprints after Taiga in the next episode. That would be ideal. As far as the development between Taiga and Ryuuji, that little exchange between them when Ryuuji left his house was pretty nice, they ended up clenching their hands together. And what was up with Haruta having a girlfriend, random and unexpected. Minorin expressed the most emotion in this episode; it seems to me that she is kinda imposing her will and wants onto everyone else. So what if Ryuuji thought it better to keep everything a secret? After all of this said, it is safe to say that I am eagerly awaiting the next episode. |

| Major cliffhanger, I hope Ryuuji will run after Taiga in the next episode. A RyuujixTaiga-ending has never been more certain, and as things are now, it will probably be pretty dramatic. I loved how the ending built up from a cute scene to one with tensions and in the end, the dramatic yandere screaming. Very emotional, I didn't expect that from Toradora! |
| Great episode!! Yes! I hope this goes the right way! |
| I hate cliffhangers! >.< I really hope they do end up together in the end though, otherwise all the things that the others did would be for nothing :(. Can't wait till the next episode! |
| GREAT EPISODE!!! If this follows the novels Ryuuji will kiss Taiga in the next episode at the bridge!!!!!! CAN'T WAIIT FOR THE CONFESSION!!!! OMG!!! TORADORA <33 |
 |
| I can't believe there's only two more episodes left.. I don't really know what to say anymore, everything has been said already.. Ryuuji and Taiga, you just want them to be together.. |
| geez it was again soo incredible awesome. i believe that taiga knew it but she dont want to know the truth. still 2 episode and i cant wait for the end. next time THE confession? |
     |
| oh and i forgot ... TAIGA X RYUUJI ! <3 |
|
IceyLee said: GREAT EPISODE!!! If this follows the novels Please don't spoil too much, I haven't read the novels :p (And probably more people haven't) Although something like that is to be expected, it's nice to keep it a secret :p |
| The next episode will be awesome! :D YES FOR TAIGA x RYUJI |
Bladin said: I really still don't see what the big draw is for Ami. All she has done THIS ENTIRE ANIME is make some snide comments here and there. And besides that, she hasn't done much of anything. Besides that, i'm pretty disappointed that this anime is probably going to end with a last minute coupling, and then a 1-3 minute after final event summary in the final episode. I really wish i could find a anime that would contain this in the middle, and then have the rest be them as a couple. Watch Saikano, not the same genre, but it is what you are looking for. |
 |
| It might've been just me but it seemed like 90% of the animation budget for this episode went into the last few minutes... |
| Noto was too adorable in this episode. You just know he wanted to by chocolate for Maya. <3 |

| 2 episodes left T__T~ Yayy for TaigaxRyuugi ^.^ great episode! :D and finally Ryuugi is starting to realize that he likes Taiga :3 and I'm happy that everyone tried to help in the last scene and blocked the way :) |

| I wanted TaigaxRyuuji from the beginning & it was expected, I prefer it that way, so I liked this episode. But...Lol, the animation was a bit off & Taiga was acting really weird, maybe she wasn't portrayed as well as she could have been. Minorin had a scary look on her face O_O Chase after her Ffs@ Hopefully we get to see a nice "After" episode of TaigaxRyuuji ~Abs |
| The whole classroom scene was a "wtf" moment tbh. The whole thing was so dramatic and random...Taiga was having a mental breakdown. I mean, wtf? Really up-beat and joyful then *BAM* *SCREAMS* *MORE SCREAMS* *AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH* O.o |
| wow, Taiga was really cute in this episode XD but dang, the ending of the episode was intense |
[url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Lunatic-kr&sclick=1]   |
| Intense ending, it hurts! |
Isaristh said: Yeah, that was intense but certainly not random. She did make the effort of making the chocolates, even thanking Kitamura for saving her although it wasn't him who saved her from the field trip. Minori is fed up with all of these and she finally explodes.The whole classroom scene was a "wtf" moment tbh. The whole thing was so dramatic and random...Taiga was having a mental breakdown. I mean, wtf? Really up-beat and joyful then *BAM* *SCREAMS* *MORE SCREAMS* *AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH* O.o Personally I agree with her there. You can't play around with someone else's feelings. Taiga probably felt embarrassed and mad after being deceived like that. And now Ryuuji must take responsibility. |

| after the last episode beeing smooth and slow, this epsiode was a big hit in my face... i thought the tempo is going to increase much slower then this with a big final blow at the end. maybe i saw too much common-over-used endings... i really liked they this episode ended, i cant wait to see what's going to happend next!!! woohoo, go taigaxryuuji! PS: i found the animations pretty fitting for this kind of "conversation" ^^ |
