Wow. THIS is your first anime since DBZ?
Odd choice. I'd have recommended something slightly more mainstream to start with... like Haruhi or something. Anyway, most of JC Staff's resources this season appear to be directed to Toaru Majutsu no Index, which in my opinion is narratively inferior to Toradora, but... |

The variation in the design is pretty small and probably has less to do with budget and more to do with difficulty in making Ryuuji's face sympathetic/endearing during certain scenes given the way his eyes are. Especially given how they don't like to do too many voice overs to directly tell you what he's thinking.

Well if we compare the animation then you have to agree that the preference is shifted more on Index side, though as an original source Toradora is more superior but Index has harem... and one of the biggest ever at that so they go the easy way. And they sure take their time to it. The pace is almost three times slower than in Toradora and try to bring out most of the novel scenes while Toradora anime tends to skip things.

What's up with everyone hating on ami? or shooting down the idea of ryu ending up with ami? After this episode, i really WOULD like to see ryu + ami together at the end. I'm really starting to like her a lot better, she's changed so much, and i think they fit each other pretty well. Ryuuji being the type of guy who won't view her as some popular idol and ami is the type of person who can see more "into" people...and i think that fits her well.
During the scene where ryuu was giving her the pork, and she was like "even if i have pork, it's not like iknow how to cook *blushhh*", i was hoping he'd invite her overrr :X!!! Too bad it didn't happen. btw what was the reason for him cooking so much food? Is he planning on giving some to ami/making her food? |

*kidding I think Ryuuji is trying to cook the same delicious meals that is served in the restaurants where Taiga's dad takes her. Perhaps Ryuuji is hoping to make Taiga happy by doing that.

He cares a lot more about Minorin and Taiga, and even then, the last few episodes have shown that his priority is Taiga over everyone else. An AmixRyuuj relationship would be nice, but I fail to see how it would even begin in the first place. They click well, but there's still next to nothing of actual plot value there. Quote:
Heh. "People only see what they want to... and the fog only thickens." He semi-blushed because he was embarrassed about attempting to one-up Taiga's dad. |

I feel a little sad for Ami too, she put the pork on her drawer along with her makeup which is important to her (because she's a model). Why did she put the pork along with her important things? Must be because the one who gave the pork is now an important person to her so she appreciate it even if it's only cheap pork bought in a supermarket.

Rather than comparing to index you should compare it to Spice and Wolf. Though Spice and Wolf pace was the slowest of them all and the series are still damn great. I like Spice more than Toradora actually, though Toradora has more noteable character but S&W have incredible main lead pair against whom even Taiga and Ryuuji look plain. |

As for him having no interest in her...what's to say he won't develop one? it's only been 14 episodes, and it's been focused on other characters. If the anime starts focusing more on ami...like they did in this episode, and if ami stops being "too subtle" (probably just too subtle for ryuu), then they have a chance. I think they fit together perfectly fine...They can definitely pull it off with the amount of episodes slated for this anime (if they wanted to). I just love that she's changed so much, originally i preferred ryuu X taiga...but now i feel ryuu X ami is much better |

I keep thinking that she'd like for Ryuuji to take the initiative. But knows that he won't. |
