Toradora! 20

Looks like Minori isn't done quite yet. The theme here seems to be "moving forward". But Ami supporters can thank the heavens that there's a bit more of her this time around, though she has gotten a bit more snide.

For example, a situation goes sort of like this:
Ami: Oh, look at this! You better not see this Yuusaku!
Yuusaku: What is it?! The curiosity is killing me!
Yuusaku (sees that it's a picture that Sumire happens to be in): ...
Ami: Oh my! It's the girl who broke your heart!
Taiga: What are you doing Baka-chi?!

I think watching this show is starting to kinda piss me off. I just want to get to the conclusion and be done with it...don't really feel like commenting any further than that.

It would seen my assumptions of Minorin being 'dead' were premature. It's not exactly the first time Toradora surprises me and I love that about it, but ep 20 seems a bit late for being a set-up for yet another Takasu x Minorin chapter (though 21 will probably prove to be far more). Especially with his feelings for Taiga still far from realized and little to none being done about Ami...

I still enjoyed it very much, mainly because we got to see most of the cast being their old, awesome selves. Of course the past events made the experience different and a bit painful (Ami) but it's still good that the show has the angst level under control.

Highlight points for me :

- Penis joke on Taiga :lol:
- A cute and irritated reaction from Minori (good job tiger !). Come to think of it this was the best Minorin I've seen in many weeks...
- Amin with her new (albeit temporary) hair style and a solid level of perceptiveness and playfulness too boot

this ep really was something fun and new
such a shame that we have to wait for another week now -.-

I really like it, when Minori Caught Takasu's hand.

Damn, that Taiga! Damn, That Taiga!
:lol:

Minorin blushing face while cursing is the part that I liked the most in this episode. Also its nice to see Minorin back in her cheerful state again.

Here's the subbed stream. The episode was alright. Minori looked cuter than usual. :wink:
Next week is the ski trip.
True feelings will be revealed! /insert dramatic music.
Basically just waiting for the inevitable to happen at this point.
Btw, Haruta is totally gay. :lol:

Minorin was so cute this episode :3 Seeing her blush was absolutely adorable *squee!*
Although unlike many people, I wasn't really a fan of Ami's hairstyle; didn't tickle my fancy.
The penis joke was priceless and totally unexpected :D
I can't wait till next week's episode!
Overnight trip = dramadramadrama= <3

conclusion draws nearer and nearer

Yeah this was a very nice episode. I particularly liked when Minori was muttering Taiga no Yatsu, Taiga no Yatsu, Taiga no Yatsu...

That was both cute and surprising a whole new side of her.
I felt kind of bad for Ami she is my favourite in this show and I felt really bad for her when she heard that Ryuji had "confessed" to Minori.

However, I feel frustrated about this episode. We all know from the latest episodes//scenes that the Ryuji/Minori pairing is dead. Next episode will probably be a Minori acknowledges her feelings for Ryuji, Ryuji is happy, DRAMATIC scene where Ryuji or Minori see a miserable Taiga and ZOMG Ryuji is CONFUSED ZOMGOMG OH NOES!

You get my drift...

I'd hoped for something better but still relatively happy. Let's hope I'm wrong about next episode's plot!

I felt scared when Minorin was going "damn that Taiga" over and over.

Still feel sad for Ami, doubt that will ever change.


I don't really care about Taiga, she's just there for the "Aw, how cute" when she isn't causing all Hell to break loose.


I really like Ya-chan's and the teachers angry expressions in this series though.
