I just finished watching this. Can we talk about it?
No.
Who's your fav girl, op?
Minori is so best
Oh yeah. Lets talk more about the show where the worst girl won. Seriously, every other character develops in some way shape or form throughout the show. But because Tiger is muh special snowflake she's been through hard shit doesn't make it an excuse to not develop. We only found out more about Tiger through the show, not have her actually develop.
What a waste since Ryuuji is easily one of the best, most considerate and likable protagonists in romance anime.

>Can we talk about it?
I wish
I fucking hate all the tsundere characters that Kugimiya Rie voices.
THEY'RE ALL SO FUCKING SHIT!!
>>140907508
the weird thing about taiga is that although taiga initially seems like a tsundere initially
when you think about she's not
in fact some might say she is a subversion of the tsundere archtype
>>140908106
taiga isn't a tsundere
TAIGA IS PHLAT
>>140907973
Yknow I really liked the concept as well, two people helping each other to get with their love interests by sharing knowledge?finds a way
But then they just end up together and it's kinda boring. It's seemingly impossible for anime to have platonic relationships between the opposite sexes.

KILL YOURSELF
I wanted the blue-haired girl to win...
Well at least we have the PSP VN.
>>140908708
>I wanted the blue-haired girl to win...
you dont even know her name
is like only two syllabus and you couldn't even be bothered to know it
thats how little she really means to you.
>>140907508
I just finished watching it too. I liked it. It gave me feels, I don't care if that makes me a fag.
>>140909571
>. It gave me feels,
why?
>>140908258
dude shes not a tsundere
yes she's kind of a bitch to the MC in the beginning
but
1.) she already likes someone else (at least in the beginning)
2.) she's ornery toward everyone who isn't friends with her
and when she does become friends with MC she actually is friendly toward him,
the time to talk about this anime is long past,
/a/only likes to talk about currently airing anime
>>140909640
maybe only because the last the last 4 or 5 series I marathoned all had bittersweet/sad or just plain tragic endings, so it was nice to actually watch something with a happy ending.
But overall I thought it was cute, and it had a lot of sweet moments. Sure, initially ryuuji and taiga were infatuated with different people, but I liked watching them grow close, depend on each other, and slowly realizing how much they need each other.
so is it worth a watch or nah?
>>140911406
If you like romcoms, then I'd say yes.
TAIGA IS A MIDGET WITH A WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM WHO IS TOO DUMB TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF AND THUS TOO DUMB AND BITCHY TO BE ALIVE. A FAILURE. TAIGA IS A GENETIC FAILURE.
>>140911095
Anime series having actual ends where couples definitely get together is pretty rare, usually there's no end (the manga or LN isn't adapted all the way) or it ends with nobody getting together. An otherwise mediocre series can get a boost just by having a decent ending.
>>140911438
and if I don't?
>>140911567
Then watch it faggot what the hell do you think?
>>140911567
Watch it anyway. It's mandatory viewing.
>>140909733
Tsundere (ツンデレ ?, pronounced [tsɯndeɽe]) is a Japanese term for a character development process that describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warmer side over time.
Also, I liked how the grandparents felt like a future version of them.
>>140912345
crap i never noticed that
creepy
>>140907508Ryuuji's momis best girl.
ami is toradorable
>>140907936
Minori is a crazy bitch though. She liked Ryuuji the whole time but did nothing. Ami was right about her.
>>140914125
She's a crazy bitch because she was too shy to confess to the person she likes and when she found out her best friend also liked him decided to give up on him so her friend can be happy????????????????????????????
>>140907508
I loved how Taiga and Ryuuji were acting as a unit right from the beginning, and the confession of love was just formalizing what they'd done before. I love it when a love story acknowledges that it's not about two people finding what they want, but two people working together for the good of both of them considered as one.
Taiga's still worthless as a housewife and probably can't find a job, though.
>>140915931
Want vs Need
Infatuation vs Love
Taiga and Ryuuji deserve one another.
Literally a soap opera for weeaboos and just as unrealistic.
JUST
fuck
this shitty
show
>>140916210
>K-On! poster commenting on things being unrealistic
>you will never find a woman who will eternally look like a loli
>>140916294
Ami needs happiness from someone that is not Ryuuji.
"The dragon is the only beast that can stand equal to the tiger. That’s why I have to become a dragon, so I can stay by your side"

>>140918566
for real though what does Taiga contribute to the relationship
>>140918615
vagina
4 episodes in, everyone is annoying as fuck
>>140918615
With love
I like that the mango has recently been translated again with one of the most terrible translations I've read. It's even worse than machine translation.
Mango taiga is sweetest taiga from basically the start.
>>140911406
very worth do watch
>>140908828
>is like only two
>syllabus
Fuck the haters. Taiga is best girl and her and Ryuuji and perfect for eachother
>>140917411
try fridge or glutaraldehyde
>>140918615
Can't really say since we never really got to actually see them in a romantic relationship. Ryuuji dislikes how his mom is rather irresponsible, but appreciates the lengths she goes to in order to take care of him, that and Ryuuji doesn't want to be like his dad, which is why he ended up being a super responsible person.
Minori is also a hyper responsible person but in a different way, she is goal-oriented where as Ryuuji is more love-oriented, money and status doesn't seem to be a huge concern to him and his mom. So I'd say he likes taking care of Taiga, and also why Minori isn't a good match.
That and Ryuuji only idolized Minori without actually knowing anything about her, the same way Taiga was infatuated with Yuusaku, and how they couldnt even act normal around them. Neither Ryuuji or Taiga put the other on a pedestal, neither one became unable to function around one another.
The thing is when both Minori and Ami realized they had feelings for Ryuuji they kept running away from their feelings, making excuses or whatever instead of owning them, Ryuujis mom ran away from her parents instead of standing up for herself, Ryuujis dad ran away from his responsibilities, same with Taiga's dad, and remember when Taiga laughed at that message from her mom, calling her childish for running away from the fight? In the end Ryuuji helped Taiga become less childish and take more responsibility, what he said about making things right with the people they love so they can get married the right way really meant something to Taiga, so once her feelings for Ryuuji were clear she chose not to run away from her own feelings like the others, and not take the easy way out and run away from her responsibilities and elope. She chose to break the cycle and take the time needed to make things right so they can start their relationship and get married the right way. Thats what she contributed to their relationship.
>>140918615
She brings her ability to help Ryuuji be happy. The guy has some crazy fucking mommy issues. That's probably why he acts like a woman all the time.
>>140925790
>>140925730
That's what I figured, that it's more about her helping Ryuuji to work as hard as two people than anything she can actually do.
I wish she could at least make rice balls or something.
>>140907973
>We only found out more about Tiger through the show, not have her actually develop.
She goes from bitchy spoiled brat who act out cause she think not having a functional family give her the right to be a bitch
to being a caring and responsible person. She learn to care for people. give everyone present on Christmas, and learn how to cook
>>140927394
>I wish she could at least make rice balls or something.
Don't you faggot watch the OVA ?
>>140927831
forgot my picture
>>140927888
Oh yeah. They weren't very good though.
Ami was terrible. No idea why people liked her.
>>140929268
Because she mellowed out.
>>140929268
Ami is the pretty little liar. She's a bitch, she knows how to press people’s buttons, and she's manipulative and very good at it, but in a good way since she was the only person who could see what was happening the entire time, so she served as a catalyst to kinda help things along even though she liked ryuuji (because he was the he saw through her facade and liked her for who she is), and yet she chose to remove herself from the equation because she knew he only saw her as a friend. It was almost like she herself saw the irony in the fact that she could have any guy in the school exept ryuuji. how can you not like that?
tl;dr
She's cool.
>>140929974
tl;dr she's cliche/generic
It used to be my favourite show until I re-watched this show last winter. I don't know why but the show just felt boring, which was not the feeling I had when I watched it the first time. The first two and the last two episodes were still great though.
>>140929222
stop it you monster
This show fucked me up when I first watched it. I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Taiga best.
Wish it didn't end like it did, though... just ended like shit.
>>140934095
did you watch past the credits ?
Taiga is loveable
Ami is fuckable
Minori is friendable
Shows /a/ recommended and we hated general?

>>140912345
Holy Shit.
>>140911548
I'm not sure why more series don't, not sure if it's to leave things open for a sequel or just because they're afraid of rocking the boat
>>140917636
Kitamura maybe?
>>140944258
fuck that needy brat
>>140944158
It's weird because Oreimo's ending--at least the anime--is so terrible that not one single person wasn't pissed off. But people still talk about it all the time. Seems like infamy is also a smarter choice than no resolution. Authors have nothing to lose.
>>140907508
This show is hard to watch. The second-hand cringe sometimes gets too real.
>>140907508
overrated, but not bad.
is he /fit/ or /a/?
>>140944557
Not that bad but I get what you mean, I could never finish Watamote for same reason
>>140944626
He really got on my nerves for some reason
>>140944784
I had the same problem, but least he died.
Wasn't the ending shitty?
>>140907508
It's good. No?
>>140945090
Compared to Oreimo ending, what i consider the 'shitty baseline', the Toradora ending was pretty good
>>140907973
I think a loser like Ryuji is a perfect fit for a fucked up girl like Taiga. The other girls dodged a bullet.
>>140945365
Ryuji is not a loser, why you said that?
>>140907936
>>140908048
>>140913967
also when will we get another show on par with Toradora?
>>140945762
The world is not yet ready
Taiga - shorty-tsundere and the main object of the Central Committee of the FAP-greedy, does not stand anything except his bad temper and inability to care for themselves (although it is neither clean cook or clean up can not, living in a pigsty?).
Ami - reference model and the TA in combination. OYASH licked her feelings and she rasstayal as pulling out of the freezer herring. OYaShu recognized in love, but the name of the title tells us, what will be the ending.
Minori - Genki bitch yandere concurrently. It has even more unstable psyche than tsundere, is prone to unnecessary violence and mood swings, testifying to the development of manic-depressive syndrome. At the beginning of OYASH in love with her, but apparently realizing the danger of getting close to this subject, soon retires and finds another object of adoration, then yandere tries to play OYaSha, but too late, for the chosen the wrong target (TP-fashion model) and it was too late for tsundere firmly clamped OYaSha between the hemispheres of his brain.
Kitamura - mitol leader of the group and class, first tsundere love with him, but he was crazy about the president of the school, which gives tsundere pizdyuley in an attempt to repel the alpha male. Fight ends in a draw and tsundere suddenly realizes that there is an easier candidate for hilling.
Mom and other minor characters - have a template, do not stand out more.
The plot is characterized by all the attributes of Goreme-lavstori, the girls fall in love, OYASH chooses. Idiots, watching the CC in ongoinge naively hoped to break the pattern and unusual choice OYaSha, but writers can not afford to offend fuels CC-greedy, so the choice was obvious from the moment of selecting the name of a title. OYASH tsundere offers his hand and heart, after which she successfully sebyvaet, once again demonstrating the extreme instability of his mind. Everything ends up OYASH finds his darling in (sic!) School wardrobe.
>>140927831
>to being a caring and responsible person
But there were already aspects of that to Tiger's character. Her friendship with Minori, helping out Dragon, having any feelings for Kitamura with good intentions, not to mention her bitchiness stayed even at the very end when Dragon proposed to her.
The show's progression later on was "oh no Tiger has had a shitty family situation so lets make events happen in a dumb melodramatic manner so everything works out for our poor special snowflake in the end"
>>140945365
Dragon's the opposite of Tiger. His family situation isn't exactly the best either, but him and his mother made the best of their not so great situation. Of the many romance anime main characters, Dragon has shown himself to be pretty competent, too being a true man of the house within his situation.
I found it boring as fuck.
The best romance to me is still Nodame Cantabile.
>>140929268
Because she wasn't Tiger.
>>140947961
Mother was a dumb slut and she suffered because of it. Ryuji is just the son of a foolish woman and it shows.
>>140907508

Everyone that read the manga knew it was shit and the only people that hyped it were cross board filth.
>>140949115
As a secondary the first ep was pretty hype. Haven't even watched the last two though.
I wish Taiga was real. I want to give her a hug.
It's shit. Taiga is a bitch, Minorin is literally retarded, and Ami is a bro.

Yuck.
>>140908708
Uhh, she'd be a nightmare to live with
>>140951781
why?
best girl
>>140952085
she'd annoy the shit out of you to give her attention and when you actually do she will quickly get bored of you
>>140952680
bu..but did I get to fuck her?
Did Ami like Ryuuji?
>>140945090
>>140934095
Did you guys remember to watch the final scene after the credits of the last episode?
>>140954037
It felt tacked on and insufficient at the same time.
>>140954175
>insufficient
Not so much if you know where to look.
See >>140912345
>>140954945
I mean if they were going to show Taiga coming back they should have had more. I mean, they shouldn't have had Taiga leaving in the first place, it would have balanced much better with the beginning if she hadn't.
>>140955025
She had to take off for a bit though, read the last paragraph here >>140925730
>>140953172
Yeah but the only reason why was because Ryuji ignored her. So she probably just had more of a crush than anything else. She would have ended up breaking his heart like a month into the relationship.
>>140955672
>ignored her
It's that he saw through her fake facade and understood her real feelings. She could be herself around him.
>>140955778
>>140955672
i always thought that Ami tried to hit on Ryuji but once witnessing the bond between Taiga (the swimming drowning) she forgo her claim
>>140915931
>doesn't realize Ryuuji is the perfect housewife
Why didn't Ami just offer him some pussy? She would at least have his attention for a bit.
>>140911406
yes but only around Christmas
>>140911095
I just marathoned it as well and I have to say that even there is some entertaining moments (mostly because Kitamura and Minori crazyness) and some sweet Taiga and MC interactions, I felt it was kind of empty. It certainly felt with the aim of being dramatic but I wasnt even remotely touched by it. Not a single tear
>>140961439
Because she respected herself.
>>140964818
Please, she was one psush away from begging for his attention on one occasion.
