–I haven’t seen 25 yet but I’m hoping that it’ll redeem the show (a bit).–

Nope, it just brings more surprises. Toradora started so good, on such a high note, then starting with Kitamura rejecting Taiga, it all started going downhill. The next fifteen or so episodes were painful to watch, with so many cliches and stupidities that I almost stopped watching. Only my time investment in the series kept me in it.

I’m glad I watched it all the way through, just to see the series reach the conclusion it did. I didn’t like that conclusion because it was just so…dumb. Just so sudden, hurried, ‘tie it all up nicely, but wait here’s a wrench for your gears’ kind of ending. I was unhappy with this series…it could have been a funny love story witht he cliche character types doing what those cliches do, but no it descended into emo-ness and lost its humor.

The lst episode ties stuff up but in a way that leaves a sour taste in one’s mouth.

Face facts the show went as it should episode 25 was excellent, beautiful ending the awareness between them was fantastic you could see the love between Taiga and Ryuuji from episode 1 there was never any one else for these two Only the Dragon can equal to the Tiger what made people think it would of ended differently.

Yup, Minori and Ami are BFFs now that both or them have been dumped by Ryuji and Taiga. For me, episode 24 was just ridiculous. I wouldn’t say it ruined the story, but it definitely knocked ToraDora down a few notches in my book. I haven’t seen 25 yet but I’m hoping that it’ll redeem the show (a bit).

Though I would argue about this whole topic and drift onto some more “what if” tangents worthy of a high quality fanfic/doujin, I’ll just swallow my pride and accept this fact, basta. Or at least I’ll try to. In the end, all that remains is just my bitterness because Minorin lost. :((

I’ve given 2 seconds of thought about what could possibly be happening besides the über worst scenario I jokingly put down in my post above. What? Right, nothing!
So basically, Episode 25 is just an omake, and I wonder why they made the end of ep 24 look so mysterious anyway! Trying to create… suspense? Oh lol.

Wait wait!! Another thought just popped into my head! Darn, I thought I’d finally be able to write this topic off. What’s worse than unrequited love? Right, a reciprocally unrequited love. No wait, that doesn’t sound right, Ryuuji would certainly have gladly accepted Minorin’s. Hmm. Anyone mind coming up with a nice term, while I go and get some sleep at 3:33 am because I kept watching Top Gear in bed? Thanks!

Yup! From the looks of it, Minori and Ami weren’t really holding on very tight to their emotions, likely because of how close Taiga and Ryuuji were. Meh, anyway, it’s over so …. bliiiing ^^

I don’t agree with the comments from above, the series went just as it was meant to be Minorin did not suit
RyuuJi. if you looked at the development of the character you would of seen that Taiga needed Ryuuji as a complement, he would tone down her aggressiveness and she would allow him to be more out spoken these two characters deserves to be with each other Taiga found a family with Ryuuji and his mom she was displaced and to hide her feelings she became aggressive he understood that underneath it all she was a very nice person.,
