Nice op! Is it a good idea to read the manga since I heard many scenes were taking out?


Yup. Surprisingly so far manga is better than anime (comparing manga and anime based on novels, usually anime is better but not this time). Sadly there are only 12 chapters scanlated.

I agree with you. The manga is somewhat better than the anime (so far), though the only problem of note is with the pacing.

Even if it was a bit fast paced, i really like this episode. Taiga's actually really cute for being a tsundere. Normally I just think they're annoying...

The OP was sooo cute and catchy, I really liked it :3

I loved this episode. Well, it DID go very fast, I wasn't expecting the situation to develop so soon, but strange as it may be, it went nicely. I daresay, it even made it better than the cliché-like "girl likes boy, girl can't confess to boy, girl gets frustrated and 20 eps later she finally confesses boy amd he says he doesn't like her" anime

Good episode, Taiga was hilarious and moe, Minori and Ryuuji's friend were also hilarious on the rooftop scene.

The development between Ryuuji and Taiga was good up until after Taiga's confession. I mean, they just became friends, and now he's all "I will stand by your side" and whatnot, it seems too dramatic and fast, even if he meant it platonically. I feel like such a scene should be saved for a more serious plot climax, and not just the climax of an episode.

Ah, good episode. That was so funny when Taiga got hit right in the face with the basketball. I couldn't help but laugh

Even though it's progressing rather quickly, I still find myself really liking this series so far. Taiga is just so cute!

...we rarely see an episode with so many developments in a romance/comedy anime... I'm really impressed by the direction, the originality, and the pace right now. I don't know the manga but I'm glad they didn't do the same things seeing how good this episode was.


QFT

This is like the last episode of most romantic comedy series which i for one think are extremely boring because they are drawn out. If the show would have ended like this i would have been pissed. Now we might have a chance to see a relationship between the dragon and the tiger actually develop =]. i'm not gonna get ahead of myself and think there will be itazura na kiss development but it's refreshing to know that they both understand they care about each other early in the series. . 5/5

Well I like how this series is moving. Everything has a time and place. To those that are complaining that this is not like the manga or anything, well its the anime. Although they might have skipped some good parts from the manga they haven't really deformed it like some series. Although that aside, manga is the manga, and the anime is the anime. Lets just hope this show keeps getting better and com'on that parrot isn't freaky but more like ugly haha. Its nice to laugh from its 3 sec screen time.
This is the worst kind of discrimination. The kind against me.

I like the pacing so far, I'd much rather they get development over with then drag it out for half the series.

Very surprise that this anime series is skipping alot of parts from the manga, which means we may be seeing several fillers in Toradora. Personally, I don't think this is a very good idea but we will see how the next few episodes go.

Eh...so much cutting.
But the chemistry feels just a little different from the novels and manga...
At the very end of the episode, Aisaka's dere-dere comment about Ryuuji dropping yobisuke really stuck out as...over-development? Going too fast? In the novels, it'll still be a while before she warms up to him...

i want to try XD

i swore i remember seeing the kicking a poll thing done before somewhere, probably.... i think its symbolic, its not so much an anger or frustration thing its like accomplishing something, like "move a mountain" , and they did it together meaning together they can do anything

That was A LOT of character development in just one episode, and only the second to boot! I'm officially hooked on this. I just hope it keeps pace like this which would be a rather tall order considering the quality of this episode.

i believe he was basically trying to say he knows Taiga's true feelings for Ryuji before she's even noticed them yet.

OMGYES. Awhs, Taiga is so cute. As is Minori! I want to smuggle them both with love! <3

I haven't read the manga/light novels, but to me it too felt fast paced. I still like it none the least, especially the opening! Oh my goodness so catchy, & the ending of course! The cookie scene was cute, and as was the fall, haha. Minori's dramatic scene on the roof, lawlx10; she's to die for!

Tiger x Dragon foreverrrs, oh and I did read this bit in the manga...I think it hit the spot a little better then the adaptation did, but oh well!

OMGOSH i never ever thought this was the anime for me, thought it was cliched and the humour isnt tht good etc and id get bored as i know whts guna happen, BUT I LOVE IT!! maybe its the portrayal of the story, fast pace, developments (which are actually fast unlike some anime which just get frustrating) LOVING IT!!!

Cute. Nice OP, don't like the ED because it's plain simple.

I laughed at Taiga "dieing" when Kitamura thought she was dating Ryuiji. He's sweet, wanting to take care of her like that. And he can really put up with her.

It's impossible that he didn't hear what Taiga is trying to say (or shout out) unless he's that close minded (or stupid)
