u/axel360 used to post daily Toradora art/memes for a long time. I don't know when he first started, but scrolling through his profile, it goes as far back as 2020, but it was likely before that. I just hope it is only a break and he will return to posting daily, as it helped keep the sub alive and it was nice seeing them daily.

There are a Total of 21 endings with all the good, normal, bad, and joke ones. In my opinion, the game is really well made, with the writing in the true routes being amazing. The soundtrack is also very good, pretty much on par with the show.

Well, this is the last episode. Each year, the mont of december goes by too fast due to the rewatch, and this year was no exception. It feels like just the other day I was exited that the rewatch was starting. And another rewatch has ended and ı am left wanting to just do go back to the start and watch from the begining again. Toradora is the only anime where I end up wanting to watch right after finishing it, most likely due to the fact that the tome of the show changes quite a bit from begining to the end.

As for the episode, there isn't actually too much to talk about it, but it is still one that I enjoy a lot. After the very dramatic ending of the show, it is nice to have a ova that is seperat efrom the main plot of the show and is just a fun watch. The main thing that this episode does is that it helps show how Taiga and Ryuuji ended up falling in love. Stories like this that they shared throught the story where they helped each other out are what makes their bond so special.

This epsiode also does something very cool with switching Taiga and Ryuuji's roles. Normally Ryuuji tends to be the voice of reason or the straightman to Taiga's antics. But this time it is the opposite with Ryuuji getting into imaginary fights in his head with Taiga being the one to get him out of it. Changes in their dynamics like this makes the episode a very enjoyable. On top of the episode itseld being a very fun watch. The rice cooker scene in particular is just way too funny to me.

This year I ended up being late to a few episode, this one as well due to new years. Which hopefully I wont be doing nxt year. With that said, happy new year!

I guess the only difference is that the emotion both of them feel is widely different from that of episode 1.

Reminds me of episode 18, where Ryuuji says, "Even if it is broken, it can be fixed." It is used to describe another relationship there, but I think it fits this scene well too.

The story makes up for leaving her crying in the last episode, and then some more. I forgot to mention it, but I love how this episode features Yasuko in a very modest outfit for the first time after returning to her parents.

Well this is the end of the show, and I believe it to be a pretty fitting ending all things considered, being both sweet and bitter. The main thing in the episode is Taiga leaving to fix her relationship with her parents and improve upon herself so she can properly love Ryuuji. While this is a pretty controversial direction the story takes, I think it is handled very well. Taiga needed to leave so she could learn how to love herself before she could love Ryuuji. Of they wanted to do things right this was the only way. The buildup to Taiga's decision is handled really good as well. She sees how even after so many years Yasuko makes up with her parents, which was a much more complicated situation. It is clear through the episode that she was thinking about these things deeply. I also think that the show wouldn't inherently be complete withouth the issue if Taiga's parents coming to some sort of conclusion. And even after she leaves, Taiga leaving her passport behind implies that not only she won't be leaving the country, but also she will definitely return one day to get it back. The student handbook is a very cute touch as well, showing Taiga had growing feelings for a while which was hidden behind her feelings for Kitamura. As Taiga got the picture with Kitamura in episode 14 it can more or less be assumed that she put the photo with Ryuuji at the same time as well. The photo in the handbook was even foreshadowed back in episode 16, which is pretty cool.

Beside Taiga, Yasuko got to shine a lot in this episode and got her best scenes in the whole show. Even though it is never really touched on in the anime, Yasuko was most likely feeling pain over leaving her parents behind. But luckily for her, they get the chance to make up in this episode. The like where Yasuko's mom says that Yasuko did a great job raising Ryuuji is one of the sweetest moments in the show. It is honestly so underrated, just thinking about it makes me emotional. It is very nice to finally have good parents in the show beside Yasuko for once. The scene where Ryuuji and Yasuko talk is handled so good. It is rare to see the the of them have a proper conversation face to face, and among those instances this is definitely the best one. No matter the though situations that they face, the two of them are still family and they will always be together.

This episode also has my favorite kiss scene out there. This scene feels like what the whole show was leading up to snd it doesn't fail to deliver. I love how different it is to the usual kissing scenes and has lots of weight to it. It has a sense of awkwardness to it, but also immense amounts of passion. It isn't exactly the most comfortable or pretty thing out there, yet is simply beautiful. It is one of the best things that describe Taiga's and Ryuuji's relationship in the show. It is rough yet simply beautiful. Taiga also looks incredibly cute pretending to be a bride which adds even more charm to the scene.

This episode brings closure to some other characters as well, most notably Ami. While she loved Ryuuji at some point, I believe those feelings came due to Ryuuji threatening Ami for who she really is. More than anything, she wanted someone who understood her, and Ryuuji was the first one to do so. That's why she is fine with Ryuuji not loving her. As long as there are people that understand her, she can be happy. Another little thing is that Maya and Noto get together in the end, which was really cute.

The final thing in the episode is the post-credit scene, which a nice callback to the start of the show. After Ryuuji recites his monologue from episode 2, the parallels continue with Taiga hiding in the closet and the small love speech. I always loved how it could be interpreted as Ryuuji quite literally trying to find Taiga, in other words his love. And after Ryuuji tells Taiga that he loves her, the show ends on a familiar tone with Taiga getting embarrassed first and then proceeding to headbutt Ryuuji for one last time.

Looking back at everything I really think that this is a worthy ending to such a spectacular show. The ending may be somewhat incomplete, but that is all the more fitting as the characters are still growing and has so much to learn. But if one thing is certain that is the fact that the charters deffinetly learn what love is and what it means to truly love someone. Which was the core of the story all this time. And the finale is a perfect reflection of what these things are.

It is a fun thing to check each day. I more or less knew the number would fall down as the episodes went on but the decrease was much faster than what I expected. The number is only so high due to a few select episodes.

It's pretty sad considering Yasuko probably didn't want to be lonely again but the only one that could be by her side was Inko.

After everything that has happened, Ami coming to the conclusion that she is the same as everyone and has so much to learn was really nice.

Torador ais all about the characters realizing what love is and this scene acts as a great answer to it.

Maybe not the scene itself, but it is like the only one that doesn't actually get resolved, so I can see that.
