Re: the novels
Quote:
Japanese storytelling traits are different to Western methods of telling a story -- for example I could easily see Toradora finishing without Ryuuji and Taiga confessing their love to each other, but part of that is that they aren't boyfriend/girlfriend, they're Ryuuji and Taiga and they're comfortable with each other which is probably better for them in the long run. Western storytelling requires a climax and a resolution at the end; we might get this in Toradora but it's not guaranteed. Spoiler for The other odd couple...:

Also, you clearly don't know what a "romantic comedy" is if you think this isn't one. Romance is in the eye of the beholder, try to remember. |

Then perhaps they would have more time to build things up better. Instead we have more Ami. Need subs and novel to understand why. |

I was planning to approach this episode the way I do Clannad Raws i.e. Play the game/read the original text while watching the episode to understand what I can't, but based on people's comments I guess I'll wait for the subs.

Spoiler for Noto:
I agree. But it was kind of funny. Like a few others have mentioned already, there were some parts that felt a bit awkward in this episode, but all in all it was interesting. I wasn't expecting things to come to that little 3-on-1 at the end. Can't say I particularly liked or disliked it as a means to get some questions answered. |

It wasn't nearly that explicit, but the underlying meaning nonetheless.
The part where Minori says Ami betrays her/calls her a traitor when she gets out of Taiga's way seems to imply that Minori wasn't expecting that from Ami. Which I felt was kind of odd. When did those two establish an understanding where one could expect something from the other? |
