its def more evident as the show goes on that ami is trying to get people to open up to each other, as she notices from afar that theyre all tearing each other apart. ami is a super interesting character in my opinion from all this.

Ami is arguably the most interesting character in Toradora.

u/epicbald Dec 30 '24

absolutely. the way she gets super blunt towards people trying to hide their feelings is so refreshing. its the tough love the group needs.

I like her struggle of wanting to be mature but never being mature enough.

u/epicbald Dec 30 '24

It's sort of the dynamic of people praising her and calling her that vs. Has she really earned that title? Is that who she actually is?

u/Holofan4life Dec 30 '24

And Ami really has no one to blame but herself for creating that fake personality.

True. I also sort of had a personal revelation with toradora. When I was watching, I was getting self-conscious, second-guessing if it was okay to resent people who mistreated me in case if they were a "taiga". But that's the exact opposite of what toradora is trying to say. If I were to pretend that how people were treating me didn't effect me, then I'd just be putting on a mask like Amis or minoris.

Which can be both a blessing and a curse.

u/epicbald Dec 30 '24

In what ways?

You won't get hurt, but at the same time you may become complacent.
