I left a message on your User CP. I found this both uncanny and funny all at the same time. SO how is medical school? Can you still watch anime despite everything? Because I seem to be forced to go to medicine, and all I really want is to watch anime since I won't be able to do much else.
Going back to Toradora, your insight regarding her psychological background was relevant. However, don't you think she's still bitchy? I like her and her development and all, but that doesn't change the fact that she's still somewhat offensive. EDIT: By the way, we have our own ADMU convention on March 7. You should go there, it's our very first anime convention.

Oh for the love of god, please don't update this thread so often, I can't keep up! I just read this 5mins ago and another post just popped up...
If this is how popular the thread is going to be, I think I will dread the "Toradora! - Episode 25 Discussion / Poll"... |

ahahaha, everytime i read the manga subforum, the thread about Ichigo100% is there... With Toradora will be the same... i'm sure of it. It is because everyone has her/his own experience and can post impressions based on those experiences. Look at Macross Frontier... the shipping was the engine who moved that sub-forum, nor the weapons nor the battles...
Love is everywhere <3.... love is in the air... lalaaala~ lala lalaa ~

i must say i totally agree with the whole "psychological" aspect of Meo's argument...good job!
It's a great episode, and it really was quite ironic. Though the only thing that pissed me off was just how coincidental everything was...the timing? seriously? I mean, it's almost unbelievable...Taiga runs out looks to the left but DOESN"T see anybody it seems, and starts crying out, but all of a sudden minorin is standing there 10 feet away from her? and if you look closely, it's just a loonnnnng path, so it's not like minorin turned the corner and saw taiga...nope, she miraculously appeared out of no where . and props to ALL the voice actors, they did a great job to bring out the inner "emotions". i still feel really bad for ami though...i wish ryuuji would start paying a bit more attention to her for once |

It isnt a retorical question... i know that everyone of us would like a different girl for Ryuuji... but why Ami?... or why Taiga, or why Minori?... why not the one that Ryuuji wants?... and Ami is well behind Taiga and Minori in that Ranking and it isnt Ryuuji's fault, at risk of start a flame war, it was Ami's fault.

When Ryuuji first saw Ami he was infatuated with her. He realized her true colors, but he still got to like her as a friend. The problem is, Ami doesn't like Ryuuji merely as a friend. That's the problem, simply put.

If a girl did A LOT for you, it's kind of hard to just sorta "ignore" them. What i'm saying is he should listen to her a bit more carefully. Given the type of guy he is, i would expect him to give Ami a bit more attention. I'm not saying it's an obligation, i'm saying i feel BAD for Ami who seems to be trying so hard but he doesn't seem to view her as something more than a friend, also probably because he's not really getting the hints she's throwing out, which is really starting to piss me off.

I think the main appeal of Ami for a lot of people was that Ryuuji didn't have to go out of his way to charm her/gain her affection the way he did for Minori and Taiga (Although we don't know for sure when Minori started liking him, there are some hints in the first book). She just likes him for who he is. It's painfully clear however that he prefers the other two, which makes the whole thing sad.

First, Ryuuji is interested only in Minori. He treats Taiga as a best friend, and Ami as a close friend. But he only has had one target from the beginning, and that was Minori. Second, the girls do not lose their dignity or throw it to the winds in their supposed pursuit of the lead, which is Ryuuji. Ami loves Ryuuji, but she's very subtle about her emotions. Minori sacrifices herself because of her suspicions that Taiga is also interested in Ryuuji. Taiga also attempts to sacrifice her emotions to pair Minori and Ryuuji up. This is atypical of most harem series, where the women act as if they were in a dog-eat-dog world. In the recent episodes it simply started the conflict that was oft in the horizon. That does not mean it immediately became a harem anime series; rather, it possesses elements of drama because it's also a romance series aside from being a comedy series. Only this time, the romance is given more focus.

I really dont mind what others think just that if a point of view or idea of mine hasnt been posted yet, I sometimes feel like sharing. Anyway, in regards to your post the fact that the Ryuuji is so closely linked to her relationship with her father kind of puts a different vibe to their whole relationship for me. I suppose many of the older members who have wives and families for a for a long period time can relate to their relationship. How pretty much all the different facets/behaviours of a person is shown to the other or that your significant other is like your better half. However, even the parts you emphasized...struck odd to me. It still reminds me of Ryuuji playing papa. Is it so much Taiga deserves Ryuuji or it is it that she needs him? And to what extent? Surely they dont need to be lovers to maintain their current relationship do they? For their age to me, lovers/people dating would be more of two independent people who are attracted to each other and excited/enjoy each others company. Thats why love interests of Minorin and Ami seem more interesting/viable because theyre more equal or independent of each other. Idk...its up to you. Quote:
