ep. 24 spoilers --Click here to view--
Wow this episode felt rushed but still hit home. Ryuuji and Taiga are going to get married now?? And the way Ryuuji spoke to his mom I felt was really harsh, but honest. And what did Taiga mean that they have a third member in their family. Is Taiga pregant???? Man..I really liked this episode and sad to see their is only one left. I wonder how the series will end!


Just in case 24 spoilers. --Click here to view--
Oh your one of those people... Its a little hard to translate clearly so I understand how you would interperate that, but when she meant the three member family she was talking about Her, Ryuuji and Yasuko.

But anyways, it was emotionally hard for me to watch because a lot of the characters were breaking down during this episode, and knowing that the next episode is the last one makes me feel somewhat sad, I've really grown increadibly attached to the characters on a personal level.

22-24...spoilers I guess? XDD CATCH UP ALREADY GAWD --Click here to view--
buhhh? People think that she's preggors? Wows.. uh i personally would really really SERSLY really doubt that Taiga would let anything like that near her. I mean MAYBE Kitamaru if it was back in the beginning when everything was black and white but now?? FFFFF XDD She'd just chop it off if anything else wow.png

Anyway maybe she meant Inkochyan too!? MAYBE?! UGLINESS IS ONLY SKIN DEEP! D: Oh and speaking of Yasuko, I hope when they wrap things up in the last one, that Ryuuji and his moms make up. Even if he was honest, I'd rather not have this bitter taste in my mouth! Her and Minorin too! Poor Minorin :<

Anyway to what you said: ME TOO OMG LORD ROY *CLING* It actually hurt when I saw the characters (specially Taiga) break down like that. And now I gotta WAIT for a REAL wrap up? I thought it would've been kinda poetic of them to leave it with them ~*running away*~ together and such. Ne, I guess I should be thankful for another episode tongue.gif

On that note, in particular (it's bothering me), I wish they had expanded on Ryuuji's jealousy >n> Instead of him confessing to Ami who I thought would've been good for a hot fling or something XDD about Taiga to seal the deal, I wish they'd ... I dunno shown more of his side and his feelings for Taiga... Eh, maybe I just liked seeing him jealous for Taiga...




Naw I still feel like they could've evened the climax up by putting more drama on Ryuuji's shoulders :teehee:



Aaanyway goddangit, can't wait till this dang series is finished so I can wait a while, forget about it and rewatch it anew w/out having to wait so long for the finale rawr.gif




oh and I guess I can just confess here:
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TRUE REVUE FOR THIS ANIMUUUUU FUUUUUU

santa's scary >u>

Well its been quite a ride for this series and its finally come to a conclusion. You always get that weird strange feeling when a series you've followed comes to an end. I'll have to put my finals thoughts into a review.

I saw the last episode.

The episode itself is the reason why this show has become one of my favorite shows of all time!

At the Graduation ceremony didnt it say he was headed to America for school? I figured that was a way of saying he was going after the first student president we saw. The blue haired girl Taiga went kung-fu on, the Kitamaru loved.

You mean Kanou Sumire right? Yeah, from the looks of things he's going to follow her.
Minori will probably continue softball
Ami will probably keep modeling
and it's quite obvious what our Tiger and Dragon are going to do.

*BUMP FOR GREAT JUSTICE*



i meant to add my hancock in this thread as well after seeing the finale but i was too EMO to do so D:

Though fortunately I'm almost over the fact that a totes sick anime like this is over and i'm well enough to comment on it wow.png

I WOULD MAKE LOVE TO THIS ANIME'S EXISTENCE IF I COULD

...is what I thought after basking in the glow of the wrap-up between the two at the very end! But now I'm just waiting to rewatch it with one of my friends that wants to ditch reading it but I might start up on reading since it was mentioned that the two mains get hot 'n heavy you say?! I'VE BECOME A VOYEURISTIC FANGIRL MESS AFTER SEEING THOSE TWO -- which I'm looking muchly forward too biggrin.gif

Aaaanyway, so worth the watch! I have three... four more couples to add to my gigantic shipping wheel of luurrrve!

Gigg-i-tay~

BDb




edit:

supa interesting read i found recently!

I thought the getting married was a bit random, but I could see it happen. I liked the very last scene of the anime, it made me laugh. However, I felt very unsatisfied with this ending and the anime in general. I wonder if the manga continues from where the anime leaves off because I felt there were a lot of things left unresolved. I would have liked to know what Takasu and Taiga ended up doing (did they go to school or get jobs) and a few other subplots with some other characters. All in all, it was an okay anime. I think that other than the contrast between the characters' designs and their attitudes, the anime was a pretty cliche highschool anime. I don't think the break of stereotype was enough to overcome a story that most anime fans have seen before.

I think that Toradora is a lesser version of Lovely Complex (same EXACT premise) which had better chemistry between the leads, better comedic and dramatic moments, more consistent writing (the characters' appearance continued to have a lasting impact throughout the series) and the ending was a lot more satisfying.

Actually on that now, anyone think that there was a lot of wasted potential with the whole premise. I mean besides the first episode, did they ever deal with Takasu supposedly "scary" delinquent-like face?

LOL this actually reminds me of a pic i found--




XD but anyway, I'm really not seeing the LovelyCom similarities between the two. Eh though, it may just be me not having seen it in forever.

And that was the whole point-- this whole show is a contradiction. Every important lead in this show had, in someway or another, a mask or facade in which to either hide behind or try to get past during the show's duration. Ryuuji's Yakuza looking face was something to constantly remind us that yeah, even though he's a sweet guy, he'll always forever have his face to get past-- or hide behind >u>

Kinda like the salt in his vanilla right? tongue.gif



it's actually a wonder as to why you're not asking about Taiga and her "Palmtop Tiger" mask XD Or Ami's "gorgeous model" and Minorin's "air-head genki" masks.
