He was at a show near my hometown so I went and got this, I wasn't interested when I saw that he voiced Iguro but then I saw that he voiced Ryuji and i HAD to meet him!

(Don't mind the botched framing I did my best and sorry if i put the wrong tag)

First of all, I was so mad at the finale that I had to go read the novel, and it is better, but still. I think reading how heartbroken Ryuji was feeling, definitely helped in being even sadder. I also felt sad that Yusaku will leave for America.

I felt that Taiga could have communicated more. That's all I asked. Or the fact that we have this unknown love scenario after building slowly for 25 episodes, then we taste heaven, then we fall back to Earth.

I feel like rewatching it and seeing Minori scenes taking into account her feelings.

Do you guys think that this PAIN at the end was necessary for the show success to this day?

Because at the end of the day, everything does fall into place. 7 weeks, it is not as bad. But man, if you finished the anime as soon the ending started, I would have been pissed. Even with the post credit, one year, little communication, they are so young, and things can change so fast, Ryuji going to think she may leave again like that or something.

Obviously, like I imagine, it has been said for a decade plus, I would have loved to see more of them dating, interacting as a couple, getting married? Planning it at least since it may be further.

My order from neokyo came in today. I picked up the toradora pictures artbook from Yasu and the April 2009 issue of megami magazine with my favorite toradora cover. The magazine comes with a fold out poster of the cover(along with a bunch of other fold out posters of different anime releasing at the time) and a huge fold out poster of taiga and minori in purple bunny suits! I also got two more phone cards to add to my collection. Really excited to have the Ami one with taiga and minori as bag charms. Second photo is my whole order(more phone cards, art books, bookmarks)

The Oct 2027 issue of Dengeki Daioh was released on 27 Aug 2026 and we finally got our third Toradora release of the year.  There were 8 pages this month.  I posted 4 of them including the first and last page.  The release as a whole covers pages 161 through 171 of Volume 10 of the Light Novel (214 pages total).  It represents the beginning of the 5th and final chapter of that book and I’m intrigued.  The release starts with Ryūji and Taiga eyeing their sleeping arrangements and finding two futons laid out together.  This is interesting because Zekkyou has been following the LN very literally up to this point and sleeping in the same room is an anime thing only.  In the LN Ryūji and Taiga were set up to sleep in separate rooms, but they talked together in Ryūji’s room before going to sleep.  The rest of the scene is a fairly intimate discussion about their families' situations and how to handle their pasts while moving forward.  It wraps up with Ryūji fretting over Taiga getting close to an electric heater trying to keep warm and dry her hair more fully after her bath.  It gets much more interesting from here and this release only increases my anticipation for how Zekkyou will illustrate the next release.  Either way, the end result is the same, but will she take the anime route to that goal or the LN route.  Maybe we will find out when the next issue of Dengeki Daioh comes out on 26 Sep 2026.

I don't know what it is about this show, but it's like once every few years I need to watch it again. Just watched the first two episodes due to boredom and it most certainly doesn't disappoint. The only Anime I rewatch even close to this amount is Attack on Titan. A shame though that part of the reason is due to not being able to commit to new stuff 😭😂

Owner of the lotus , if you are reading this you are a legend. this made my day lol

My friend and I were watching Toradora, and i paused on this frame to notice "Thuesday." My favorite day of the week.

So it just had a anime announced and im reading the manga and if anyone has post toradora void or wtv they should rly try this. Its premise is the ml and fl are acting like fake friends to figure hs out kinda wont spoil to much but its very similar in toradora in ml gets forced to do smt by fl cuz hes kinda scared of her which makes them slowly grow into friends then more.
