A show should let you discover something like that on your own instead of whacking you over the head with it, which is what Toradora did. I mean really, they had an entire freaking episode dedicated to Ami and her dual personality. I understand that a prominent message of the show was that “everyone tries to hide his/her true self from others”, but the way they did it was stupid. It made me feel like I was in a mental institution.
Then the weird Ami Kawashima ‘dual personality’ nonsense. There was the whole weird thing with Minori trying to hide just how much she cared about things and how dedicated she was. My fundamental issue was that the show was trying so hard to make them multidimensional and well-rounded that it ended up turning them into caricatures instead of characters. I absolutely detested the characters and the story and the drama, but mostly the characters. So I think the caption of the picture below perfectly summarizes why I disliked this show so much. Ryuuji and Taiga, despite their oil and water relationship, agree to mutually support each other in their quests for their hearts’ desire. Despite her small stature, Taiga takes nothing from anybody and is secretly in love with Kitamura. Along with the two of them comes the “Palmtop Tiger”, tiny Taiga Aisaka and Minori’s best friend. It’s a new school year and Ryuuji Takasu discovers that not only is he in the same class as his best friend, Yuusaku Kitamura, but also Minori Kushieda whom he’s had an undisclosed crush on for quite some time. Here’s a synopsis courtesy of MyAnimeList: Should have trusted my first impressions. Anyway, more recently when I found out how popular it was, I figured I should give it another shot. This is not my first go at Toradora, I actually tried to watch it a few years back, but was so put off by the first few episodes that I saw no reason to continue.
I liked the romance in Toradora because I hated Ryuuji and Taiga so much and found them so odious that I thought they deserved each other. That being said, you have been warned about the content of this post and can continue reading at your own discretion.ĭid I like the romance in Toradora? I’ll give that a resounding ‘yes’, but probably not for the reasons that most fans would.

You can feel free to agree or disagree with anything I said, but keep in mind that this is not a personal attack on you or your opinions, simply my thoughts. I say some pretty caustic things about the show, and fans will likely be offended. This is a rant–and a rather poorly written one at that.
