Toradora! - Episode 9 Discussion / Poll

I am hoping to see more Sumire ... every time she opens her mouth I start smiling.

But yeah, Taiga with summer hat, ponytail, etc is pure win.

My thoughts on this episode:

Spoiler:

What I think this episode shows us is that personality quirks are really what make this show awesome and Takasu has been boring thus far because compared to everyone else, he's just so.... normal. Now, if you look at the scenes in this particular episode, you really see where Takasu really shines. That is, that gleam in his eye and his facial expressions at the prospect of cleaning struck me as being hilarious because he looked like a rapist. Yeah, that expression was just really creepy, but it hit all the right vibes.

And of course, the Minorin/Kitamura tag team combo of comedy delivers as usual. Minorin's hyper personality never fails to get some laughs out of me. Finally, Ami had a good moment of her own and the aftermath of the shower scene was a novel twist on a tired old gag. Watching the little reversal with Taiga walking in on her was a rather nice way of executing that particular scene.

What a great episode. Lots of great interaction among everyone. I really liked the feet massage on the back scene, it really does show how close they have become. Ryouji's conversation with Minori was nice as well.
