| 5:59am | Just cannot tolerate Yui Horie’s voice - Toradora isn’t too bad | | | | I cannot tolerate the overly cheerful and energetic characters voiced by Yui Horie. Sadly these seem to be the only kinds of roles I really see her play. She needs to do more voices like Naru, and Eri though. I just cannot take the high pitched voice, cheerfulness, and outgoing personality of these... | | |
| 12:26am | SDS on Toradora |  | | | Why is it that three quarters of bloggers summarizing Toradora think it necessary to engage into tedious retelling? Even a refined blogger like SDS does it, and the advocacy suffers a great deal as a result. Tell us what you think about the show, we can read synopsys at Wikipedia ourselves. By reading... | | |
| 6:19pm | Personal Growth, If Not Physical: Toradora! | | | | Sometimes I get filled with a certain sense of dread in preparation for a new show based on the information available at the time. “This seems oddly familiar” is the prevailing feeling. Fortunately, sometims this is just a false alarm and I end up with something far greater than my expecations.... | | |
| 4:22pm | Must. Stop. Watching. SUBS | | | | I really need to stop watching anime with subtitles, but it is so hard to break free into a world without them. Is it because I lack confidence or something else? Because I read the English subs and understand the Japanese being said at the same time, generally. Tch, I need to step up to the next... | | |
| 12:30pm | Hetalia Axis Powers episode 10 | | | | As we hit April, all the anime I’m watching are ending. While Casshern and Ride Back were my favorite two that just ended, the best ending has to go to Toradora for having possibly the sexiest kiss I’ve even seen in an anime. However there are a load of new shows starting this month.Luckily... | | |
| 3:46am | Toradora VN is coming |  | | | I was browsing Amazon randomly [*], and ran across what looks like a Toradora VN, to be released on April 30 2009 for PSP. Tempting. But what if I buy it, and there’s no Ami path? /wrists [*] Actually, I caught an ad at sidebar of Akibaos (NSFW ads). But this seemed like such a small lie. UPDATE:... | | |
| 11:02pm | [Quickie] Anime Reviews - Winter ‘09 | | | | Asu no Yoichi! Not much to say about Asu no Yoichi!wasn’t really a fan. It was “ok” for a generic guy-lives-with-a-lot-of-girls- whose-parents-are-conviniently -away-on-a-trip kinda anime. One of it’s appeal was the awesome seiyuu cast, but other than that, it’s love like-it-or-hate-it-at-first-ep... | | |
| 5:48pm | On Toradora and siscon shows - Denying your love | | | | Have you ever denied your love? Tried to smother those overwhelming, bittersweet emotions because it seems ‘the right thing to do’? All my love life I’ve been doing that. For some inexplicable reasons, I kept meeting the right girl at the ‘wrong time’ or simply getting... | | |
| 5:01am | Asu no Yoichi! > Toradora! … ! | | | | After finishing Asu no Yoichi, I am forced to admit that it is indeed a far superior anime than Toradora. It accomplished in twelve episodes what Toradora was unable to do in twenty-five and one crappy SOS parody.I know what you are thinking. If Asu no Yoichi! was so awesomotastic, why wasn’t I... | | |
| 11:08pm | The Unsatisfactory Ending of Toradora | | | | I thought about adding this into my review for Toradora or adding it to my podcast review, but I thought this would be better written out in it’s own post, as it basically is an editorial. I’ll say it right front: I was a Ryuji/Minori shipper in Toradora until the very, bitter end of the... | | |
| 10:55am | The Future in Anime | | | | Anime, like every other story, has an end, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll feel that slight sadness whenever the credits roll on a really good show that you’ve been following. Take CLANNAD for example. Don’t get me wrong. I personally do not like the WTF ending, and I... | | |
| 12:49am | DiGiKerot’s shoutout |  | | | It is a delicious poster! And I see what you did here (detail, zoomed 3x): Lots of other fun detail, for example Minorin carries a British infantry rifle (not even a Japanese one (memories of my first anime blog post)). I wonder what the little mechs are. The colors are a bit strange, and not just... | | |
| 9:32pm | Random Wafflage: Rocket Edition | | | | Author posted more than a few entries regarding Toradora yesterday - this is vaguely inspired by one of them. Reading the text of that post, however, I am forced to think of three things. Firstly, I have Rocket Girls DVDs lying around somewhere that I’ve still not got around to watching. Secondly,... | | |
| 1:14pm | Toradora PSP Game | | | | Came across this promotion trailer for the Toradora (とらドラ!) PSP game and it looks really cute.There is even a premium package which contains the limited edition Taiga school swim suit Petit Nendoroid Figure.Too bad I | | |
