TARADORA! (No Spoiler Version)
Just to be clear, everything that I will say is a fan's opinion, I can't analyze it as a professional critic.

Ok, let's start. What can I say about Toradora? Toradora is a mix of feelings. In a way, it's funny, mainly because of the chemistry between the two main characters. On the other way, it's sad, when you see that the characters are generally suffering for love. Toradora it's genually one of my favorites anime of all time, truly a masterpiece. It shows how tough is love, but, at the same time, present a heartwarming experience. It took me four days to ... honor that experience that helped me get trough a hard time.

The story has two protagonists, Taiga and Ryuuji. Although Taiga seems just like a short and cute girl, she is an angry and violent person, that enters in a rage about everything. She is physically strong, but, emotionally fragile. Because of her temper and size, she is called the "Pocket Tiger". She lives alone in a giant place that their parents rent for her. One of the most evident signs of the character is her childish behavior. She doesn't clean the house, make her food or even wash her clothes.

On the other side, we have Ryuuji. He is the complete opposite of Taiga. Because of the genes of his father, Ryuuji seems to be always angry, so he is seen as a bully, a delinquent. But he is a really sweet person. He cooks for his mother, loves cleaning and organizing, does the shopping, and even has been compared to a maid.

Their relationship is the main theme of the work. Sometimes is very funny, like when Taiga treats almost everyone as a servant or a homeless dog. Other times it can be heartwarming when it's shown that is real care between the main characters. In the end, the work is beautiful and heartwarming. When I watched it, I was going for some issues that were letting me down. Toradora and an other anime help me to get trough this issues. I recommend that every single person should whatch it, doesn't matter if you don't like romance light novels. Since the weird beginin to the wonderful end, it's really an amazing experience.
