| 2:27am | Review: Toradora! (85%) |  | | | Animation: 85% Acting: 90% Music/Sound: 80% Story: 88% Overall: 85% See explanation of scores. Toradora is the standard-setter anime about high school shounen romance. It does for high school love what Kare Kano does for adolescence in general and Honey and Clover did for post-adolescence–and... | | |
| 12:42am | Top Seven Anime of the Winter 2009 Season | | | | About two weeks ago, I started penciling in the picks for the previous three parts as well coming up with the top shows of the season. In the time between the preliminary picks and the final picks there was a few shows that went all out to make me reconsider them. Changing my picks was most apparent... | | |
| 12:00am | Anime for the Whole Family?!? Toradora! | | | | Toradora! did something unexpected: it became wholesome family entertainment. Yes, watching anime with the family is possible, even if many or most watch (or prefer to watch) anime by themselves. I remember watching My Neighbor Totoro, and Millenium Actress - just me and my Mama (such lovely times),... | | |
| 8:40am | Toradora 25 | | | | Ok, so I’ll say this first, this post is a complete 100% spoiler post. If you haven’t watched 25, clicking Continue Reading will kill all the thrill Toradora ever built up. Hell, if you’re still reading on anyway proceed at your own risk. First of all, I think Yasuko in her non-slut... | | |
| 4:17am | I shall pierce the heavens with toradora spoilers and rants | | | | starting now.The ending sucked more than anything. Instead of keeping up with their excellent tradition of high catharsis, they abandon it for some crappy attempt at a soft and sweet coda; the kind of fleeting epilogue we got in TTGL, LoGH, Fushigi Yuugi, etc. The problem was that Toradora never had... | | |
| 3:53am | Conspiracy Theories for Toradora - END | | | | CONSPIRACY THEORY NUMBER 1: Ryuuji's father is actually Yasuko's brother.I read this in 4chan and had to laugh about it but then it was possible. I mean, Yasuko's mother and father have features similar to Ryuuji's. Here's what I'm going to say: Most Anime characters have been made before and as a result... | | |
| 2:00am | The End is Near | | | | Currently in denial mode The end of Skip Beat, that is, and the above pic captures exactly how I feel right at this moment. I neglected watching Skip Beat a few months back, and now that I almost caught up it’s nearing its end. NOooOOoOooo!!!! The Dark Moon is not over yet! And I want to see Ren’s... | | |
| 6:19pm | Toradora! - Episode 25 (Completed) | | | | It almost pains me to say this, but that's it, it's done - Toradora! is finished. It's strange how some shows manage to weave their way so deeply into the fabric of your life, and this series has been one of them - What started off as "just another romantic comedy" has ended up becoming something that... | | |
| 4:29pm | Quick thoughts on Toradora! ending |  | | | Mostly am echoing other bloggers; I agree that it was very nice and enjoyable. I’ll start off by admitting having a huge crush on Taiga right now after that episode. I mean I had liked her before, but I’m blushing a bit more now when I think of it. Fellow blogs have gone in two directions,... | | |
| 4:22pm | To the End of Toradora | | | | Dear Toradora, You’ve somehow managed to save yourself from the pits of anime wasteland that I was sure you’d fall into after the past few crappy episodes. I am very, very happy that the ending left quite a bittersweet taste in my mouth, as how it should be. You don’t know how disappointed I... | | |
| 1:45pm | Toradora 25 - So the love birds flew … | | | | To be entirely honest, I will graduate from university tomorrow afternoon. I was expecting Toradora to come out some time after my graduation, but I’m glad it came out early especially for the last episode. Thank you, CoalGuys! This is a very nice graduation present. P.S. The final episode of Toradora... | | |
| 1:34pm | A breakdown in the last 2 minutes | | | | This is what I would describe Toradora if it were a basketball game. Frankly I’m quite disappointed in episode 24. I’m not going to write a lengthy post–just trying to express what I feel.First off, I find Takasu’s proposal of marriage a little irresponsible. Even if they... | | |
| 10:24am | To wait is to live | | | | So if sitting here in a boring room waiting for your favorite show to finally finish downloading isn’t bad enough, you get showered left right and center by sentence after sentence of what a paranoid you would consider potential spoilers, and part of you would start to think about the philosophical... | | |
