First of all, if you're into Romantic Genres, you'll LOVE this, if you like School Life Themes, you'll LOVE THIS, in fact if you like anything you'll LOVE TORADORA!(Contains heavy Spoilers, not reccomended to read if you haven't watched it)
ToraDora has a very interesting story, probably the reason why I keep on watching it, I love it. Taiga loves Kitamura(which is Ryuuji's Friend) while Ryuuji loves Minorin(Taiga's friend) sound simple? as if, Both Taiga and Ryuuji really doesn't feel comfortable talking to the people they like so they decide to both help each other. That's the story in a nutshell, but what makes the story
...
so epic is how they develop their feelings for each other. The story is indeed a bit cliche however, how they develop it is interesting. The fact that they go from accomplice to lovers is what I found very outstanding. They go through life not noticing that the person they love is actually just right beside them. Indeed a very Interesting Story. I have got to say that the ending is also very fitting and I liked it very much!
I got nothing more to say to the art apart from it's decent, I liked the way they drew everyone, it's brilliant and I couldn't wish for anything more. Although to be honest with you, Ryuuji doesn't look THAT scary =), other than that, it's good.
Sound, probably the only thing I don't like about ToraDora, I don't hate it, it's just not my cup of tea. However, even if I didn't like the sound, it is very fitting, the cute atmosphere that the opening gives is good.
Characters, Aside from the storyline the characters plays a vital point in the story itself, if it wasn't for the characters it wouldn't be such a good anime.
Ryuuji is what you would call scary, yet very admirable inside, he's easily misunderstood because of his appearance. Looks can be deceiving. He is caring and helped taiga "survive" everyday life by giving her comfort and food. He also want to make Taiga very happy, which is probably the reason why I liked this character. She helps her with her communication difficulties and even helped her make decisions that she would probably never done herself. She Likes Minorin, and tries very hard, however he is too shy to express his feelings.
Taiga is what you would call Tsundere - I.E. a violent human outside yet in the inside is a caring girl. She is very interesting in the fact that she can't seem to do anything right! she needs ryuuji(and was shown through the last few episodes of the anime itself) to live life. She Likes Kitamura to the point where she can barely talk to him. She also has a very special relationship with Ryuuji, the fact that he takes care of her is a special bond between Taiga and Ryuuji. She wants Ryuuji to be Happy by confessing to Minoring, however she regrets that because deep inside she likes Ryuuji, she cries and regrets. She actually Loves Ryuuji and in fact looking back at it now she loved Ryuuji from the start.
Kitamura, is also yet another interesting character, he doesn't dislike Taiga and in fact he got rejected by Taiga before. He likes the Student Council president very much that he'd actually die for her. He is very caring and doesn't want to hurt anybody. But he'd do anything for his Love, to the extreme point.
Minorin, is probably my favourite character, she is sweet, air headed but very cunning, she knows taiga the most in the series and that fact is vital to the ending of the story itself. She blows off fear by being very lively, that's one of the reason why Ryuuji liked her. She doesn't like anyone though she reveals that she liked Ryuuji in the end however she thinks that Taiga is what best for Ryuuji, she sacrificed her love for her friend, I really loved Minorin.
Ami, is a very dark and distinct character that works behind the scenes most of the time. She is afraid to show her true colours as she wants people to believe that she's actually evil inside, she has show her true colours on the main characters. She goes through her life as a model, she has a stalker, but she couldn't find the courage to stand up for herself, instead Ryuuji helped her to face her fear. She, only hinted, loves Ryuuji because of the fact that Ryuuji would like her for what she is and not for what she isn't. She is indeed an interesting character.
The Enjoyment of the show is 100% 100/10. I love it, in fact it took me less than 24 hours to actually watch the whole show, that's how much I love it. The Comedy and the Romance scene are very well put, if I was a bit more emotional I'd have cried through the series. Cry laughing and Cry sad. I would've also cried on how I wanted so much more of ToraDora, but that's how it is.
Overall a very outstanding anime. Reccomended!

Great Teacher Onizuka is one of the best Mangas there is. Why? Because it's very simple and it relates to other peoples lives. (Spoilers maybe included)
GTO's doesn't really have a straight story on it apart from stories of other peoples lives divided into each part in the Manga itself. There are stories of Betrayal, hurt, distrust, and many more things that have happened to peoples lives but what's so brilliant about this is how GTO changed people's views on how to live. For example: Urumi, she distrust teachers because she has been betrayed before. But then after knowing Onizuka and Onizuka teaching her one of
...
his "lessons" he started to trust teachers again, he started going to school again. or Fuyutsuki, Fuyutsuki you could call her a teacher that "reads out of a text book" kind of teacher but is prooved not effective in controlling the Class, Onizuka just had to say about 2 sentences and she made use of that and apply it to her students. The Manga itself is fictional but you know what? The situations are real, Rape/Betrayal/Bullying all those things are true and there are people who suicide/despise things over those. That's what's so brilliant about it, you can relate to it, because you USE/ARE a student you know how it feels like, you know how it feels like to be betrayed maybe not rape but something similar.
The Art of GTO is, I must say, pretty decent, with some bits being scattered or blurry. But Overall it's decent. The characters faces are somewhat unique to the typical "manga eyes" or "manga hair" But they are mostly the same. I like their facial expressions though :D
The characters of GTO are what makes it such an epic Manga. different emotions different stories different personalities. Those are what makes GTO, but just that isn't a masterpiece, the way they go from a person who wants to die to a person who wants to live the rest of his life are what makes this a masterpiece. GTO teaches us something, how to live your life, how to face pain, how to almost do anything.. really. For example: Betrayal: Ai Tokiwa has been invited to his Boyfriends House just casually, but then was rape by 5 guys. Anyone would think that that was a sick thing to do, now she goes and beats up everyguy because she THINKS every guy is like that. But then Onizuka change her mind about guys. I'm sure those kind of things happens, GTO teaches you how to get over it, how to leave those things behind, how it's bad to judge people. GTO is about Morals and how it was portrayed in the story is the best thing about it.
I enjoy reading GTO at first I read it casually but then I started reading it more often as the story was getting interesting. GTO is not at all a serious Manga or rather it IS a serious Manga with Comedy bits on it. I won't say that GTO is just comedy with serious scenes on it because it's just not that. I mean most of the time GTO is seen goofing around the school, peeping at girls panties, all those are also, you may say, a way to make a point, live your life to the fullest! "If you always worry about the past it's your loss because you won't be able to enjoy the present." - Eikichi Onizuka. Yes! those quotes as well. I remember hearing one: Give a kid a smoke, he'll be happy for a day. TEACH a kid to smoke, he'll be happy for the rest of his shortened lifetime. - GTO. Really GTO is reality with Fiction on it.
Overall One of the,if not THE, best manga's I've ever seen
