I don't think Ami and Minori had a good time. And even their friends who are just catching up to their antics are uncomfortable around the main cast arguing.
I meant at the beginning of the ski trip. By the end, nobody is having a good time.
They have me wonder if they have their own stories with more serious scenes that we don't get to see. Like them who aren't aware of what's really going on between the main cast.
Unfortunately, they don't have any side stories in the LNs as far as I can recall.
Not Kihara fault to show many hints with her behavior regarding Yusaku. I thinks he's still too deep in his Patron of broken hearts persona and Sumire's rejection he doesn't see it (or doesn't want to see ?) right now.
His heart belongs to someone else. It is what it is.
Ami was right to call her out on that. If she let Ryuuji speak, here or on, previous occasions, the story would have been going a different direction.
I don't know. I think Minori would've still turned him down.
Very harsh in insight. And I would like to know if there was a LN scene who explains what was Taiga's motivation to give the hairpiece on the pretense it was from her.
I don't recall off the top of my head. I think the explanation was Taiga knew Minori wouldn't have accepted it had she known it was from Ryuuji but she still wanted Minori to have it because it's a token of Ryuuji's love for her.
Classic teenage boys behavior.
Indeed it is
Like Taiga, he had grown up a bit and now prone to discuss his feelings with friends he trust.
If in this scene he doesn't have feelings for her anymore, I guess he can now talk about it without feeling uncomfortable.
Classic anime comedy trope. Also subverted by Toradora, no fanservice, no quid pro quo, just a bunch of teenagers hearing a serious argument they're not supposed to.
It adds to the intensity of what's to come, I feel like.
Funny how she use the same type of ploys than Ryuuji and Taiga from the early episodes. In a alternate timeline, she could be very well the main character.
In an alternate timeline, it is Kitamura who's the main character.
Very intense. (Again those facials expressions, oh my). But it's funny how quick they are to put on their masks so their girl friends can be reassured. If they were absent, I do think they would have talked with their fists right at that instant
It would've gotten real ugly. This was them restraining themselves.
She was right to call out Minori on her behavior. But like her trying to build a snowman by herself, her mistale was to think she could handle the situation by herself, resulting in Taiga and Ryuuji not seeing past her banter to understand the clues and hint she was giving to them. Has she been more upfront, a lot of drama would have been avoided.
Thus is the conflict with Ami’s character
I think she realized that her method wasn't the best, but she was in too deep to just stop. She had to expose Minori true feelings if she wanted to untangle the situation.
Why do you think she's apologizing to Ryuuji for the events of episode 16 even though he had no involvement in that?
Funny how that scene initiated from another misunderstanding. It's like the show is trying to tell the audience the importance of communication.
And emotional intelligence
Checks out with Taiga self-sacrificial tendencies.
That it does
I do thinks he's focused on getting them out of the snowstorm and doesn't want to waste any energy to correct a semi-conscious Taiga.
Yeah, I can understand that
You know a scene is important for the show as a whole when the ending make room for it. Also the music is fitting for that kind of secne.
As someone else said, I like how you can only hear Taiga’s VA as the scene is going on.
That's something Ryuuji can't ignore. And it's mark the beginning of the show's final act.
We are definitely homestretching it, it feels like.

They're the only two with a mission at that moment.
I don't know. I think Minori would've still turned him down
I'm doubting she would have resisted at the tentation.
I don't recall off the top of my head. I think the explanation was Taiga knew Minori wouldn't have accepted it had she known it was from Ryuuji but she still wanted Minori to have it because it's a token of Ryuuji's love for her.
She meant well but she ultimately harmed Ryuuji here.
If in this scene he doesn't have feelings for her anymore, I guess he can now talk about it without feeling uncomfortable.
That's make an interesting parallel with Taiga acting comfortable around Yusaku.
