I wrote a review for this beofre and this is my second one but after re-watching Toraodra recently I have re- made it with slightly different opinions and even better in sight of the show. Here i go:

*Contains Spoilers* *Contains Spoilers*


What seems like a typical high school romantic comedy that has seemingly been done countless times, Toradora shines and becomes something special. But what’s special is not the story itself, but in fact the characters which really makes this anime one of a kind.

Toradora has a pretty typical feel for a romantic comedy story about love and high school, but the way ... it is executed is anything but typical. The male protagonist, Ryuuji, is in love with a very weird girl named Minori and it just so happens that he is in the same class as her, along with his best friend Kitamura. Also in the class in the female protagonist, Taiga Aisaka who is a pretty vicious girl with an aggressive attitude that everyone is afraid off; aside from Minori who Taiga’s best friend . Taiga and Ryuuji , through a number of strange and accidental encounters end up coming to an agreement o help one another gain the love of each other’s best friend. This begins a very funny master and dog relationship between to the two protagonists as for some reason Ryuuji just goes along with all of Taiga’s whims. The events that transpire afterwards are simply hilarious as they fail so many times due to enormous flaws in their plans or simply flaws in themselves. Ryuuji actually ends up taking care of Taiga who he sees is rather clumsy girl when it comes to taking care of herself. This story is great and will make you laugh and cry (in the end particularly) at the same time; all while learning essential things about life and love, such as the value of family and being there for the people you care about. The story here is very heartfelt and is very well executed despite the fast pacing in the final episodes. Also there were not too many predictable moments in Toradora aside from the very beginning of the show. Most people wouldn't even be able to tell who ends up with whom just from watching the first few episodes. For me, it deserves a nice 9/10.

The art work in this anime is actually pretty well. The collage of colors and just everything in general is nice. The characters look well and uniquely drawn as well to fit their persona and what they represent. Also just think Taiga is extremely cute, one of the cutest characters ever actually! I give it really good 9/10

Toradora has two opening and two ending songs which both portray different things. As the story shifts in direction and the characters begin to have a change in heart the second opening and ending begin. The first set of theme songs are nice but the second set are really really good; particularly the ending. It fits the story perfectly and is a really great song. I love watching it after each episode as it always makes me smile. Also the OST tracks are great as well. There are a number of good one’s but Lost My Pieces is absolutely the best. The emotions evoked by it is very deep and makes the scenes that much more heartfelt. It almost melts my heart away. Sound definitely is 10/10.

The characters are what really put the show over the top. There is simply not one character in this show that I do not like! I might even be able to go out and say that I love almost all the characters, especially the main characters of course. They are all so unique and there is so much depth to each one. Ryuuji is probably one of gentlest, most caring, nicest guys ever. It’s funny because almost no one knows that since they all are too afraid to approach him because well he just looks like he would beat your ass haha. We find out about Ryuuji’s past and how he takes care of his single mother by being the house wife and while she works at night. Ryuuji’s character is generally typical, but has qualities that make him unique like his cleaning disorder which is quite funny at times. Also, the way he goes out of his way for Taiga on so many occasions and constantly is there for her is amazing. Ryuuji is an amazing guy and a damn good character.

Taiga Aisaka. There is just so much to say about Taiga that I could go on for days. She is my favorite character on this show and favorite of all time! The way she changes throughout the anime is spectacular. Despite her rough and aggressive personality, she is actually a sweetheart and is just a clumsy girl who wishes to be loved. She is very passionate and constantly tries her best at everything she puts effort to do. She is also a prototypical tsundere character so she may come off as arrogant and mean sometimes but that is just a front for her genuine warm side.

There are 3 lesser main characters who are equally good and create an amazing main cast. Minori may be crazy and energetic as hell, but at times we see her vulnerable and passionate side. She even drops a few quotes of knowledge that speaks volumes to her depth as a character. Ami is probably my second favorite character in this show. Initially she is puts on the façade of a cute, air head to get everyone to like her and almost everyone falls for it immediately; that is except for Taiga. Ami comes out of her shell later on and becomes a strong person and a heavy contributor toward the main story at hand. She is very sharp and is able to point out and see things that many others don’t.

Kitamura is a very complex guy to say the least. He is very intelligent but an idiot when it comes to certain things. He seems like he has control over what he is doing but at many times displays that he too in fact does not know what he is doing. He is a really nice guy which is the reason he gains Taiga's affection and many other girls which he has no clue of! It doesn't matter though but you’ll see why though as the story progresses. For Characters, this gets an easy 10/10.

I’ve watched Toradora several times now and I must say that even after watching it over, I still laugh my ass off and am moved as if I’ve never seen each scene before. I know it is coming and yet I still have the same reaction each time. And when I finish it each time, I still find myself wanting it not to end and just wanting more and more. I can be watching an episode and before I even realize it, a whole 20 minutes has passed by and now it’s over. The felling is unmatched. This makes me laugh as well as tear up, and even makes me pause the show to catch my breath from the intensity at some points Enjoyment for this anime can be nothing less than 10/10.

Toradora is a great anime as it is simply one of the most complete and enjoyable animes out there. Everyone can watch this show and be happy and love it unless you do not like tsundere characters or dislike romance. I especially recommend this to anyone who loves romantic comedies as this is the best one or two you’ll ever find. Toradora may not be the best anime ever but it certainly deserves a perfect score as it more than achieved its purpose and that’s all anyone should ask for. Watch Toradora, I promise you won’t regret it. 9.6/10 or 10/10

When just a game becomes real life and the only way to escape is victory over the seemingly impossible, what do you do? Panic or fight for your life. This is where the strong thrive and take on the challenge like our main protagonist here Kirito, who I thought was amazing.

What can I say, this anime is awesome!! From the amazing battles, to the beautiful love between Kirito and Asuna, to the stunning visuals throughout the series and even the first opening…I loved it all. So much so that I found myself rooting for Kirito as he fought like I was in the game ... with him myself. His bravery and mastery of skills really make him one of the best heroes in all of anime. I mean no matter what he always came through, sometimes even by himself like when he took down the level 74 boss in one of the episodes, just awe inspiring.

Oh and like I said before, his relationship with Asuna was just beautiful, we see so much character development with these too as besides his sister, they are the only main characters which is I personally prefer in this type of dramatic romance anime. The way they just grew together and lived off each other was so wonderful and it felt genuine even if this is fiction.

Overall I would call this anime a masterpiece and it is deserving of a 10 despite some flaws obviously. The good here outweighs the controversial so much and just off coolness alone this deserves a 10. I am very critical when it comes to grading anime so giving this a 10 is really a big deal. To anyone questioning whether or not to watch Sword Art Online, I’ll just tell you that if you’re a true anime fan then you can possibly pass on this show!
