Best. ToraDora. Screenshot. Ever.
Minnie: The last episode of ToraDora is here and I’m a bit emotional because this anime has brought out so many emotions in me with how far it has developed. At last, we will see how the tiger and the dragon end up together. After twenty-five episodes, it’s bound to happen right? Make it happen and with a happy ending too~
Now, what could this cute little photo be about?
Garrick: Soooo, here I am again. Minnie’s forcing me to review this, even though… well, I haven’t been up to the task of reviewing recently. As an added burden… I got sick again. So…. anyway, enough about my god forsaken situation, all you people care about is ToraDora, right? Right. Here we go.
Possibly the last screen time my shipping will ever get.
Minnie: I am so tired right now but since I am able to get a hold of the computer, I must make use of it doing various things right? One of those things is of course my newest hobby- blogging. I have to say that despite me telling myself that I have to sleep more over the weekend to make up for my lack of sleep during the weekdays, I rarely do so. How many hours of sleep do you guys get a day? Forget it. It’s off topic. Anyways, instead of sleeping more, I will be blogging more. It’s okay because I love it so here goes nothing~
Just wanted to say that yeah, taiga and ryuuji are gonna be a couple by the end of the series, they’re just gonna drag it out till the end for it to happen. Proof of that is the names of the last 2 episodes. 24 is Confession, and 25 is Toradora, showing that in 24, ryuuji and taiga are gonna confront eachother, having taiga saying she loves him, then he’ll realise it for himself in 25 that he feels the same way for her, making them “toradora.”
This is one of those series that you know what happens in the end no matter if you watch the series or if you just watch the first one. It’s just such a great show that you don’t care how it ends, you just wanna watch how it happens, every step of the way.
And i completely agree, i really want the next episode to be here already too, but i’m really wanting the last episode too. cuz that ones gonna be one you’ll be thinkin to check for it every half hour till it’s finally out…or at least i will lol.
I agree with you. 
All the people who wanted Ryuuji with anyone other than Taiga are in denial. It was meant to happen. It is the journey that matters.
Thanks for the comment <3
I’m starting to hate the series and I don’t know why? Maybe because it is ending the way it must be ending! hahaha. Anyway, Bakachi’s reason for staying in the school is not… really reasonable? Maybe she’s just really wants to meddle in the very first place which therefore makes the provocations and all that happened so far just made up = 0% plan of the author to make an Ami end.
I hate Emorin this episode. she ruined the atmosphere. She was the one always delaying the events so far and now she wants taiga to do things very fast!
Toradora is coming to an end! NOOO!!
Minnie: A pretty weak week for us since a couple of our members are busy/gone. Koala aka Garrick and Ric are the major ones that will hopefully be back by the weekend. If not, they’ll be moved to the inactive list like Raccoon aka Taan until further notice. On the other hand, there’s ToraDora and I can’t wait to see this episode. Semi-sunny day today. Hurray~
Wait, that was all?! Nothing much happened after the confession incident?! This is an outrage. I was actually looking forward to watching this episode tonight. But oh well, I guess it’s not half as bad considering the things to look forward to (Partial Fillers FTW!). I still can’t believe Toradora is still able to pull a fast one, if you put the fact that it’s about to end in mind.
As for bitching failed shippers, well…you can’t avoid them. I’m pretty sure most people out there are aware that Toradora means TaigaxRyuuji ship PWNS everything else. But the fact that people still consider impossible possibilities is proof enough that whoever made Toradora did a good job on cast and characters.
I myself am a victim of this charm; though I should know better than to think of any other ship other than TaigaxRyuji, somehow I’m still clinging on Minorin’s ship T_T.
The episode is not bad but like you, I look forward to this episode for the same reasons and didn’t get it. Sigh.
You’re right. They’re everywhere. I don’t mind people shipping what they want and I think the author is brilliant for setting all this up, but it gets to me when people call an anime ‘horrible’ if their shipping doesn’t work out in the end. That just makes me furious… I hope you understand that. XD
It’s okay, 7. Garrick is the same. As for me, if the anime ends with Taiga/Ryuuji, I want it to be done right. That’s all. And if it ends up with Ami/Ryuuji or Minorin/Ryuuji (5% chance), it better be done right too. That’s all I ask for. ^^
Thanks for your comment!
This show is amazing! ^^ I love it to bits. :3 — I just came across this website for blogging. ^^ How cool! O:
My favourite episodes are always the ones with the confessions that someone doesn’t realize they are confessing. ^^
Can’t. Wait. For. Next. Episode. >–O
<333
Keep up the good work. ^^ (Y)
Thanks a lot! ^_^
Those confession episodes are fun so I like the last one a lot. I can’t wait for the next episode either. Air already. T_T
I don’t really know now what is Minorin’s plan now that she said something to Ami…
Anyway, I don’t care now to any of the side characters!!! Hahaha, I want to see now how the story would finally end.~
@author of Toradora — why did s/he didn’t released the final volume on the broadcast day!!! There are already spoilers around! T_T
I want to see how this story ends and it better end epically!
You follow the volumes foomafoo? That’s awesome.
A hostage situation?!
Minnie: Thank goodness it’s a Friday! Even though my school week ends on Thursday, I’m happy to say that I still enjoy Friday’s as much as I do in high school! Anyways, this episode of Toradora is late by a date (it’s not me!) but it’s all good because Toradora is 4 episodes away from the end and it better have a nice ending. Will they squeeze another arc after this one or is the last one? Who knows! Read for the review~
Strangely enough, though I started out Taiga/Ryuuji, I’ve since shifted to supporting Ami/Ryuuji, to my own surprise. Ami is just turning out to be too interesting of a character, I can’t get enough of her. The rest of the characters are still great, but Ami is in a league of her own.
I 100% agree with your opinion on Ami, nazarielle. I must say, ToraDora really does have one of the best main cast of characters this season and last season. I’m impressed. ^_^ Thanks for your comment!
I really really HATE Noto! He’s the one who started blabbing about nonsense… I was also rooting for Kihara but Noto is damn interfering…
For the main cast, Ami is rather concerned to Ryuuji but I don’t know if her slap to Minori could defend for that reason. Taiga is… I think she didn’t gave me an impression this episode because she seems resilient until she fell just to find the hair clip. Minori is… a hypocrite. She said if Ami saw her pretending nothing had happened but that was exactly what it was!!! If she wasn’t pretending, I doubt if she could speak to Ryuuji ever again.
Ryuuji is… I don’t what he’ll be doing now that Taiga had confessed XD. Poor Ryuuji, it’s raining dragons and tigers on his mind.
Noto is pretty annoying. I wonder if in the novels, he had more screen time before this. His inclusion in the later episodes seem kind of off to me… like they force him into the party now for plot purposes… and that bothers me…
Minorin is a hypocrite but the more I see/hear her, the more I understand her. It’s an odd relationship with Minorin and I. First I like her. Then it move to dislike and then hate and now back to dislike. I don’t know where all this drama come from but at least the anime is executing it very well. I enjoy the changes.
Ryuuji is going to be confused for a couple of episodes and then end it with Ryuuji/Taiga? That’s my guess but ToraDora has been very unpredictable lately…
Toradora is awesome! I’m usually not a big fan of drama but this tips my boat! It’s just as what I’ve expected of a True Tears formation (perse, Two Guys and Three Girls)
I first started out with the Ryuuji/Minori and Taiga/Kitamura pairings. To find out that these pairings don’t look good the way they are now pains me, but at the same time intrigues me. If this continues, we’re only going to end up with one pair (Ryuuji/Taiga)! Now that’s interesting.
I’ve always been a big fan of Minori, but bleh.. I don’t know now. Then again, it’s not her fault.
At the same time, I’m beginning to take an interest in Ami’s intellect.
I am actually a fan of drama anime. Most of them are on my blogging list. XD But anyways, this drama anime is on a league of its own. I mean, it doesn’t follow the stereotypical ones. It doesn’t follow the harem formula either even if it indeed IS a harem. I, like you 7, like the formation too.
Oh that’s interesting! I think I was a Minorin/Kitamura and Taiga/Ryuuji fan actually. XDDDDDDDDDD Now, I’m a Ami/Ryuuji fan with Taiga/Ryuuji in second place. I like the President with Kitamura too! I’m sad it didn’t work out to well… Anyways, I’m also intrigued like you. ^_^
Like I said above, for Minorin, I went from like like to dislike to hate to dislike. She’s in the dislike/neutral state with me right now. As for Ami, I love her since the beginning. XDDDD
Woah... who do we have here? =3
Minnie: This cough is driving me nuts! I’m so sad because I am fully healthy now but my cough won’t go away. I can’t sleep at night because of this. Anyways, I’m behind in blogging so I’ll make it up all now! Hopefully, next week will be better for me and the rest of my team. We are planning lots of new interesting posts for next season. I hope everyone stick with us! Thank you very much~
You already know my input on this. *big Minorin/Ryuuji fan* And I hate discussing pairings, too.
I know you do Koala. XD I love discussing pairings as long as it doesn’t go out of hand. 
*cough* Flame wars *cough*

dec are discussing.

I couldn’t agree more with you guys. Especially on the “Ryuuji has suddenly stuffed one or more years’ worth of emotions, longings, and need for answers about Minori neatly in his cardboard box in a matter of days” deal. No inside knowledge, but there’s maybe a glimmer of hope that things will get a little less crazy to finish things off.
