I gave it a 10/10 (even though I thought the mid episode dragged a bit and I loathe speeches like Minorin's) due to the most epic kiss evah, and the super cute ending.

I really can't think of a better kiss... the animation, pacing, direction, the payoff for the character's story... Most of all the indirect playful sparring. It felt more like a 30's screwball romantic comedy than the type of cookie cutter romantic inevitability you usually get in anime.

Hmmm... I'm curious too.

According to MyAnimeList I've logged 1419.6 hours of anime (sadly I'm sure there's more than that under my belt that I didn't remember when I signedup), and I've been a definitive fan since the mid/late 80s. I'm also long out of high school and happily married for a long time.

Given the comments here, my theory is that Toradora is most appealing to the hopelessly romantic (guilty) and those of a nostalgic bend who are now out of their prime dating years.

In short, woobie-tsundere FTW!
