traed said: But you know, it's not like she would have noticed before, same way Ryuuji never noticed before. I'm thinking Taiga just stalked him all the way home first to learn where he lived.Aina-Chan said: This was a great start! I can definitely tell that this will be one of my favorite animes when it finishes, and I agree this show is fun. Also I like it too that Ryuuji has an obsession with cleaning. xDD By the way how the heck did Taiga find his home?! She's so.. O.O;; I dunno what to say. xD she lives in the apartment building next door, she jsut had to look out her window, how did you miss that? |

| Well okay first episode, don't like psychotic tsunderes like some before me said aswell. The general outline seems okay, I just hope they don't overdo it like ZnT. I'll check out some more episodes to see how this evolves. And the parakeet was crazy lol |
 MAL list updates |
| i thought it was cute :) |

| I watched the first epiosde one week ago, and it's a good series so far. It have a unique plot and interesting characters. Kugimiya Tsundere is awesome, and Taiga is cute. I'm looking forward to more. |
| What a promising start! Really loving the characters, especially Ryuuji & Taiga. I have a gut feeling this will be something rather special. |

YungInfamouz said: Remember two important points:yeah wtf they lived near eachother then he didn't know who she was what kind of bull shit is that A) The apartment building was built recently. You even hear Ryuuji rambling about how it blocks the sun and now mold is growing so it's a new development for them. B) You think someone of Taiga's temperament would have bothered to scoop out who her new neighbors where? Of course not. And Ryuuji would have problably minded his own business as well, considering how everyone seems to think he's a murderer or something. Add to that the fact this is the first time Taiga and Ryuuji got assigned to the same class, I don't think it's that farfetched they didn't know about it. I mean, I can safely say that out of all the people that live close by, I barely know 3 or 4 of them. It's not like you have to know all your neighbors. |

| Very good episode, starting the season strong. I really like Ryuuji. It's been a while since I've seen a quality male lead, but that's just IMO. Taiga is now one of my favorites, and on my "take home" list. <3 5/5 |
| Nice ep love the guy's personality with the mold XD Taiga is a little annoying hopefully it gets better ^^ |

| Wow, cool, some rational responses! Responses merited. Veronin said: Lol, anime =/= reality. I mean, I understand what you mean, I'm not a fan of Taiga or the whole abusive tsundere thing either, but I think it's a bit too early to judge her character anyways. That being said, if she becomes another Louise, I will probably drop this show. Other than that, I think it's pretty good. corroded said: dude, it's anime :D anything can happen, however illogical it is. personally, i watch anime for fun, i don't care about the logic in all those stuff. judging by the shows you have watched, it seems you have watched a lot of logic bending shows anyway, so why the hate on toradora?(this is just a friendly question btw :) ) in any case try to watch ep 2 first before complaining about the logic. the lead is a nice guy and he is OC(obsessive-compulsive) about dirty things(remember spotting the molds in his bathroom and cleaning it up?) that explains why he cleaned taiga's house. The fact that anything can happen in anime does not mean that it should. And like I said, absurd background reasoning piled on absurd plotting does not help unless you are happy to can just sit yourself down and take whatever your TV throws at you. That's emphatically not my outlook. Fun that does not make sense is not fun - unless you expect it not to. There is no reason for this not to make sense. To me, the logic bypass here seems basically pointless and gratuitous; everything about the thing is believable, except the way people behave and why. Things I watch, or rather continue to watch, that bend logic bend it for some reason. For a better understanding of my attutude here, I would cordially invite you to look at the tag notes on my blog, then do a tag search on my list for Total Logic Bypass and study what you get, what scores they got and whether I finished them or not. soulelle said: I'm afraid you came to the wrong place seeking for that. Toradora is something completely different from real life experience. It's a romantic and exaggerated comedy. It has nothing to do with drama you're looking for. I'd recommend you to check out a couple of shoujo dramas like Bokura ga Ita or Hachimitsu to Clover instead. As to the Toradora, forget about reality, just have fun and enjoy the Show ^^ Ain't that the truth. Still, Lovely Complex and Kare Kano are romantic and exaggerated comedies while also being dramas, seem pretty close to real life in most of the ways this does (which is why they appeal to me) and do not as they are funny, touching and generally excellent are exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for, and the reason why I tried this out. Been vaguely thinking about Honey and Clover anyway, maybe I'll have a look at that instead, thanks =) Nobleman said: I agree with you 100%. (but hey, there still will be 500+ people who will tell us that it is just an anime..) I'm getting the idea that most of the people who like tsunderes either don't have a girlfriend (and want someone as cool as those little chicks to boss them around) or/and are masochists. And knowing that japs don't have such a fulfilling sexual life (proven by statistics) i can understand how shows like that get a lot attention there. Everyone have their own fetishes... As for the show, i expected less tsundere domination and more rebellious male character (which turned out to be a spineless slug). Animation was better than average, had it's own style, but nothing too much worthy to mention. I suppose i should hide now from incoming fanboy fire.... Thankyou. I don't want to cast aspersions on anyone but I just don't get the apparently gigantic appeal of being treated like muck. Then again, submissive men and dominent women are kind of the ultimate Japanese relationship taboo, and working on the principle that what you are not allowed is what you find most exciting, the appeal in Japan is thus somewhat understandable. I would never have expected characters like this to be so popular overseas though. Possibly this tsundere archetype is kind of like wish fulfillment for a lot of women? Grabbing at straws here. |
| I should have started watching this show much earlier. It's pretty funny and probably will be one of the best in the season. |
| Nice episode, a good start, funny and cute. A bit too classic anyway. |
| Just saw episode one, and I like it already! |
| Kugimiya Rie, urusai, inu... never heard those words together before this anime... ah well. Looks like this'll be a great series, school Tsukaima is kinda what im thinking as of now |
     |
| The one thing I didn't get was when Ryuuji walked in the classroom to retrieve his bag, and there were desks flying everywhere and Taiga fell out of a random locker.. |
| Great start. Good comedy looking forward to more. |
| please report all angel999 duplicate accounts to the mods asap |
| lol is it jsut me or does Kitamura look like shinpachi from gintama?lol |
| lol |
| I s'pose I'm rather late starting this anime, but so far it has been quite entertaining. It was pretty funny, but that's about all of it. The characters are a bit flat and since I'm not really into tsundere type, I'll probably wont love Taiga that much. But well see, I'll surely continue to watch and perhaps my opinion will change. |
| I really liked it. And I'm starting it later than you Teddy. But I like the characters, like Taiga, she makes me lol. |
| Seems very interesting =D, from so many comments I guess this show will definitely be worthwhile and judging from the first episode I guess so ^^ |
| It was pretty entertaining, as expected Aisaka Is kawaii~ a bit more dangerous than the others though lolz.. reffering to Louise.. Nagi and Shana.. |

| He'll make a great househusband.:D |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| hmm.. seems interesting... haha ... poor guy, being bossed around by that tiny girl... :p |
| Looks like a pretty interesting series :D I liked it! |
     |
| liked how they presented the characters. though nothing new, it has a nice feel to it. aisaka is one hell of a tsundere. now am i late for this anime? probably not late enough. its only been 8 months |
| Scary? that guy you gotta be kidding me, I've seen kitten scarier than that guy! Anyway so far so good. |
| I can see the similarities between this episode and Zero no Tsukaima. This episode was okay. An okay way to start a series, I guess. |
| Oh, Taiga is completely wild. Perfect tsundere |
| yeah, she's awesome and outta control ^^ |
 |
| I'm sure the tsundere will start pissing me off, but for now I loved it. |
| Nice... He knows her "problems" and she knows hims xD |
| I just love how Kugimiya Rie does voices of tsundere lolis... As most of u said Taigas voice was a bit harsher then Shana's and Louise's, but was still WIN. Love that urusai urusai part, truly sweet. ^^ Well Taiga is some mixture of Shana and Louise... All those most loving parts put in one character. I just love when she calls him dog! ;D WTF happened with house... I mean at first thought I thought she might be even hikkikomori... ^^ As for Takatsu mother... she is crazy, at first I thought it was some perverted roommate. |

| The main character's image and his true persona completely contrast each other hahaha, im looking forward to the rest of this. Ive heard good things about toradora |
 |
| Ugh, another tsundere show. I'm not a big fan but at least Takasu isn't a complete wuss and submits to everything. |
 |
| Wow. I'm so late watching this lol but this was a great episode to start off my day. |
 |
| Loving the ED. :D Ryuuji seems like a cool character. Guys who can cook are smexy. <33 |
| Minorin<3 |
| I like this a lot but if that little girl doesn't get less annoying, I won't be able to keep watching this. |
 |
ExquisiteDefect said: I like this a lot but if that little girl doesn't get less annoying, I won't be able to keep watching this. I felt the same way, but I gave it a shot since I had nothing else to watch at work and really ended up liking the whole series. |
 |
| Watched this just for the heck of it... There were some funny parts, but don't think it was enough for me. I thought Ryuuji's dilemma of having a mean-looking face was amusing, but Taiga really bothered me. Her idiocy is funny, but she was such a jerk that she came off as unlikable. |
| wow~ this was really good. promising start and very interesting characters, i can't wait for the rest. |
 |
| wow this was a very good first episode :-) the little tiger,Aisaka if i remember right is cute :) 5/5 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Utterly mediocre. That being said, I have so little else of value to watch that I haven't previously seen that I'll stick with it for now. |
| Great start to the anime. It's funny. |
