Toradora!
Review

Introduction:

Toradora is an amazing anime in every aspect from the Art style music and story line it maybe a Moe like Oreimo but its not your average Moe and so this is the review of Toradora please note everything I say in this review is strictly my opinion and most of the times opinions and ideas may differ so do not judge and so let the review of Toradora begin.

Storyline:

Toradora takes place in an average High School and in an average town like any other Moe. It starts with a Takasu, Ryuuji he is a kid that mostly intimidates everyone he sees you can mostly tell that by hes looks one day he bumps in with a girl named Aisaka, Taiga after doing so he gets in a fight and gets beat up by a girl. Ryuuji discovers Taiga's love for Kitamura, Yuusaku and Taiga discovers Ryuuji's love for Kushieda, Minori and so they both decided to help each other and in the end they end up discovering the love for each other. The story line maybe boring but there are some amazing points and in the end all the small emotions just stack up and make you want to cry your eyes out. Other than that I would say this has an above average storyline.

Characters:

Ryuuji Takasu:

The Main Character of the story hes father abandoned him before he was born and he was raised by his mother Yasuko Takasu. Ryuuji is a very smart and hardworking person he know how to cook and always wants to help people even thought he looks intimidating. Hes Character development was really good it went from fighting and being moody and hating most stuff to be accepting and loving to a degree. But I think he could have been developed a bit more.

Taiga Aisaka:

Taiga Aisaka is the Female main Character despite being small she backs a punch and is a very feared person in school she is referred as "Palmtop Tiger" she mostly deals with stuff she does not like with punching it or attacking it but she does have a good side because she can be nice and gentle from time to time. Here Character development was amazing better than Ryuuji's Character development I really felt like I connected with Taiga and felt what she felt. Overall Taiga was an amazing Character.

Ami Kawashima:

Ami Kawashima is one of the best supporting characters I have seen in a long time she has everything I love and she is very cute. She works as a model and came to Ryuujis and Taigas school running away from a stalker but Ryuuji helps her comfront that stalker and after that they become friends. In this anime I felt Ami was always in love with Ryuuji but she could never reach to that point. Overall in this Anime I really felt that Ami matured over time and that she was a really amazing Character to observe.

Minori Kushieda and Yuusaku Kitamura:

Minori and Yuusaku where both good amazing Supporting Characters but they where not amazing like Ami. In Minori's side she has ambition to join a famous Baseball school and in Yuusaku's had an ambition to become School counsel president after that he grows an ambition to follow the past counsel president to the USA. Both Characters developed well and they both passed threw sad parts and happy parts. Overall they where amazing Characters.

Conclusion of Characters:

All the Characters in Toradora developed in one way or another. I love the Supporting Characters and the especially Ami Kawashima. It is really hard to find flaws with the Characters besides that they are boring at times and take a bit to long to develop but in the end they where an amazing cast of Characters but I cannot say that they are the best characters I have seen lets just leave it that.

Visual/Graphics/Animation:

The Visuals and Animation was pretty good to say the least I really loved Ryuuji's Eyes they cut out from the regular eyes in most Moe's all the cast of where made very good and looked really cute such as Taiga and Ami. The Anime's art gave me a feeling like I was there going to school and going to there houses but it could have been made better for example making it more colorful and more bright because at times it was really dark but Overall the Animation was above average.

Music:

Toradora's music was amazing the music was composed by various different composers that I cannot be arsed to name them all. The first OP in my opinion was bad I just do not like really peppy songs like that but there was a song that really caught my ear and that was Lost My Place and it was simply amazing and as well as Startup was also good. Now talking back in the OP's I really hated the first one but the secound was good but to honest I don't think the OP's where not worthy and so I am not doing as always that I note the OP instead I will note the two songs I enjoyed the most Startup and Lost My Place.

Conclusion:

Toradora was amazing and is a must watch if you have not watched it I recommend you stop what you are doing and go watch it right now because you will not regret it. In this anime I felt that right in the end the hall storyline just stacked up and made me burst into to tears so go watch it and I really hope you enjoy it like I did.

Verdict:

Very nice review man!
I'll have to check this out later seems interesting.

[Elfen Lied]

Really nice review, much better than mine :P. One thing though, towards the start you put a comma between the first and last names which just made it tedious to read.

[ƒigure]

Nice review man loved the layout of it.
i'll have to check it out once i get uncapped

[KinGxKeV]

I love Toradora! Definitely going to rewatch soon.

[Happeh]

One of my favourites of all time and I disagree with your verdicts. Ah well, what's the internet for? :3 Like the review as always, but work on analysis of your opinions. Short 1 liners doesn't warrant an opinion. ^^

[Chubaca]

Thanks for all the support everyone I am already planning my next Review I think it will end up being Eureka 7 but still not sure. One thing is for sure I am never thinking of Reviewing Clannad it has a very complex story and a lot of important characters.

[Alexchaos]

Just started watching it after reading your review!
I really like Taiga's stare at the beginning of the opening! xD
I'm at episode 7 and so far it's really good!

[Captain_Gengar]

[Ryuuji Takasu]

It got under my skin pretty bad :P.

[Dizzy.]

I actually started watching this yesterday and just finished about 15 minutes ago. Great series reminds me allot of FoZ/ZnT

[Hentai]

Ahh Taiga Aisaka I saw her in an AMV called Desire. (Was not erotic as title makes it sound, she killed someone and then jumped off a bridge..)
OT: This review is very nice and well put together. I can see you put some work into this. Keep up the good work.
