Toradora, hate it? or love it? I just finished watching this thing 2 days ago. It was an entertaining watch and it's actually pretty good despite the amount of hate it seems to get. Well, everything was good up until that stupid ending. It falls under the much dreaded (but I don't mind) Slice of Life, High School setting, Romantic/Comedy genre. It was funny here and there and had some emotional moments. However, anime of this category suffer from the obvious-couple-end-up-together thing but even the title of this anime made it obvious. They had developed one of the other romantic interests very well and the other one is properly set up. But NO! They went with the obvious crap.

My friend tricked me, have you ever been tricked? I was watching anime at school one time and one of my friends saw me. At the time, I think I was watching Toradora or B Gata H Kei or Angel Beats.

I understand they have to skip numerous parts of the original story but if they end an episode with a fight, that same fight should be resolved at some point in the story. This is where this four episode series suffered BADLY! The condensation and skipping truly ruined it for me. The art and animation are identical to what I recall the GBA version had. It was good to my eyes. It's not as sharp and crisp as the current ani
