Toradora! - Spoilers & Speculation (for experienced Toradorians only)
This thread is for the experienced Toradora viewer (i.e. those of you who are familiar with potentially all the light novels / manga), its purpose is to allow free discussion of theories and speculation over the Toradora anime series, it therefore will contain unmarked spoilers. If you are a light novel / manga virgin of Toradora, then do not read this thread unless you want to be spoiled (use the Toradora - Speculation & Theories (for first time viewers) thread).
Since posters are expected to be familiar with the light novel / manga, there is no real need for spoiler tags, but feel free to include them if you so wish. Adding a Spoiler tag:
Finally, please remain on-topic and do not use this thread if it's just discussion about the current or previous anime episodes. Also remember that this isn't a light novel / manga discussion thread, if you do want to discuss the light novel then please use the existing Toradora! Novel Discussion or Toradora Manga Discussion thread.

After watching episode 3, I came with a few speculations (I have not read the novels past volume 2 yet, so these are mostly pure speculations):
Minori is supporting her family/herslef, hence the numerous jobs, maybe she was also mistrated in the past. Episode 4 will focus on Kitamura character develoment: introduction of Sumire (hinted LI), perhaps he will be depicted as reliable and (weirdly) serious (I'd expect the rushed homeroom scene, a definite must as it includes the insecure teacher ). Episode 5 will probably be centered on Ami: character introduction (she could appear at the end of episode 4, given her character connection) and development. I just hope that they there will be a little more of the Ami arc than one episode. We will have the Palmtop Tiger of Happiness spin-off story as a full episode, or so I hope.

It's just a matter if they would animate up to that point of Sumire/Kitamura's story - which started in volume 5 and ends in volume 6....

However, doing that without presenting Ami would be too much specially because Ami reveals who is Kitamura's love interest... Doing too much of Sumire/Kitamura would take all the shocking part of Ami's words, from viewers point of view as in novels it wasn't taht clear at the point where Ami revealed it.

Speaking of Ami, as the family restaurant prelude was already used in ep 3, someone wondered if they were to introduce her directly as a new transfer student (in ep 5?).
My concern is that if they were to do this, odds are high that the "Taiga vs Chihuaha confrontation with hidden Ryujii observing and Kitamura commenting" scene is gonna be omitted/distorted. I just don't want to see an episode where at first Ryujii would cluelessly "react" to Ami's charms and where Taiga would "discipline the rabid dog".

-they could easily reuse the family restaurant, thus directly adapting the original material; that could be possible, as in the anime timeline it isn't Golden Week yet. -school would be an alternate setting, but I have some concern about it, as this setting increase the odds of having on screen a stupid looking Ryujii (delayed revelation).

Probably for the producers, the second option seems more attractive *remembers a few other tsunderes*. But they could also set completly original circumstances, tough this is the most dangerous option imo

Future Episodes according to Wikipedia (dont see why it can't be legit):
05 "Ami Kawashima" "Kawashima Ami" (かわしまあみ) October 30, 2008 06 "My True Self" "Honto no Jibun" (ほんとの自分) November 6, 2008 07 "Pool Opening" "Pūru Biraki" (プールびらき) November 13, 2008 08 "For Who" "Dare no Tame" (だれのため) November 20, 2008 So it seems to move at a relatively slow pace.(episode 5-7 seems novel inspired, 8 seems anime original).. damn anime originals (3 out of 8!). Perhaps by 2009 we can start moving toward unknown novel areas! I think someone mentioned that most likely scneario is 25 episodes straight thru.. with a week off for holidays. Hopefully it doesnt stop for 6 months or some such. But if the straight run is the case... I dont see why they cant create an anime original ending.. sinc enovel still running. |
