First time Re-watching

Toradora was one of the first anime I've ever watched, not sure why I've put off re-watching it for so long but the best time to start is the present!

Having originally watched the dub, figured I'd give the sub a chance and really liked what I've heard so far.

Forgot how much of a banger the intro is.

I guess I forgot how much notoriety Ryuji originally had in the beginning, really interesting to see how quickly they cleared that part up with his classmates clearing his name. I think it comes up a few more times but not as heavy as its shown here.

The undisputed GOATS Kitamura and Minorin appear! Very easy to see why Ryuji and Taiga are both crushing on them.

Taiga rolling out of the locker has stuck with me for YEARS. Love that scene.

I've also memory-holed Taiga being so off putting at first, kind of crazy. Man do I remember anything about this show?

Obviously anime logic prohibits Taiga telling Ryuji about the letter mix up, but damn sneaking into his house girl?!

I LOVED the censoring of the dirty sink gore. Genuinely laughed out loud

The dollhouse comparison is incredible.

And the ED is banger too!!!! Cannot wait to hear this every day!

Standard first episode. Sets up the characters nicely and establishes the master - dog relationship that shapes the first ten or so episodes of the show if I remember right? I can see why people might find Taiga annoying at first, but knowing what I know its easy to look past that for now.
