just finished watching the anime. it was good, but maybe the novel has even more?

The material was compressed somewhat for the anime, so there is additional material in the novels, and the ending is slightly different, and I think better, in the novels. The Novel version of "The Palmtop Tiger of Happiness", a spin off chapter in volume 2, had me rolling on the floor laughing. Much funnier than what they included of it in the anime. Also there are three spin off volumes not included in the anime about their school life.

thanks, i decided to finish the series.

so is there going to be a second season?

Wigwams · 2010-06-07, 20:35

well the novels (which the anime is mostly based on) is finished. and according to them the anime already covered all the novels. so most probably no more season 2. hopefully some OVAs...

For the anime in episode 16 what does Ami Mean by "Are your feelings of guilt gone?" when talking to Minorin.
I assumed Minorin finally started liking Ryuuji and wouldnt want to take him away from Taiga but im not so sure.

That subtitle is an awkward translation but yeah, basically Minorin *recognized* her feelings for Ryuuji (they'd been there) but wasn't being honest to herself about it. She's starting to figure out she can have those feelings yet still choose her career goals and still honor the bond between Ryuuji and Taiga.

Almost like being a grown up

Waven · 2010-08-19, 06:26

I'd like to extend what's been happening at that moment from my perspective.

To my mind it was more directly connected to what people were saying nearby when they found Taiga's student ID and the picture with Taiga and Kitamura in it while commenting on that she really seems to like him (Kitamura).
My interpretation is that Minori already realized her feelings for Ryuuji long before and therefor desperately wanted to believe that Taiga might genuinely like Kitamura, not Ryuuji, after all (although deep inside she knew otherwise) , hence surpressing her feelings of guilt towards Taiga.

Not even Ami could know more than that at that point of time but she heard what was being said by the others and she knew about Minori's feelings and her reaction to the talk so with her comment she pretty much hit the bullseye.

ps: yes, I just rewatched the series, so my impression is rather fresh

Hey everyone.
I have a question regarding the last episode, not sure if this has already been asked.
I'm a little confused as to why Taiga just up and left the school in the last episode.
I know it was something to do with her mum.
But it just felt really random and not that well explained lol.
Did she just want space from Ryuji? *is confused* I know i definitely missed something lol.

Taiga had lost her apartment because her Dad went bankrupt and stopped sending money. Taiga either had to run away from her Mother(like she did), or go back and try and reconcile their relationship(which she did).

Thanks for the answer

Yeah i must of missed the part about her losing the apartment

synaesthetic · 2010-09-04, 13:16

It wasn't explicitly stated in the TV series that she lost the apartment, but if you recall Taiga's words about her father's business tanking, you should be able to put two and two together.

My Alternate Character Interpretation replaces Ryuuji with Taiga in Minori's affections.

Aye, I can't argue your interpretation has any less standing.

wistfulloner · 2011-01-18, 13:22

No love for Kitamura? I mean, if a geek can get chicks to dig him, he's gotta be pretty awesome right?

SkyFlames · 2011-01-31, 15:06

Hey. Sorry for bumping the thread, but I got a question regarding the end of the serie.

Spoiler:

DragoZERO · 2011-02-01, 16:48

Ah... I was so looking forward to finding out how the novels ended. Thank you kind sir.

Wigwams · 2011-02-01, 18:39

The temple thing with Taiga and Kitamura was her praying to him, since he's the deity of love or whatever.

SkyFlames Silver, the Second Join Date: Jan 2011 Location: Argentina Age: 28	Hey. Sorry for bumping the thread, but I got a question regarding the end of the serie. Spoiler: How many passed since Taiga left the shool and came back? Because I first thought that it was a few months since it was close to the end of classes and was Ryuji's last year. But then in the novels, he didn't ended the school, he is just starting third year when he founds Taiga... So I'm quite lost if she dissapeared for a few months or a whole year. __________________ Last edited by SkyFlames; 2011-02-01 at 19:49.

What's the deal/agreement Taiga made with Kitamura when Kitamura saw her at the temple during the new years? 2. What r those? tickets to somewhere? lol http://i.imgur.com/MqgiX.jpg 3. Can someone please translate this? http://i.imgur.com/F9loD.jpg I would assume that says something about how Taiga believes in Ryuji? 4. Why did Taiga leave near the end anyway? To make peace with her parents? read the replies above, seems like it was to make peace with her parents. great series, I really enjoyed it. Clannad spoiler: Spoiler: and I thought Tomoya's proposal to Nagisa was epic and sudden... lol Last edited by commando; 2011-05-28 at 03:37.
