I gave this eps a 9 of 10, owing only to the rapidity of Ryuji's decision to elope with Taiga... Had there been even a 10 second flash of his inner voice RE-proclaiming that he'd "never leave her all alone again." as he'd done before, just before he finds her, I would have totally bought into his yelling out of the "proposal", hook, line and sinker. As it was, I had completely expected something not QUITE as drastic, but similar to this.
The comparison to Suzuka seems apt, but this couple hasn't even kissed, let alone gotten horizontal... Yet, as I've said a few times now, all along this couple has developed into a husband/wife relationship without realizing it. I suppose on learning that Taiga may leave him forever, he blurted out the only logical (read: illogical) conclusion a 17 year old might come to... No big surprise actually, but still a shocking outcome for all parties involved. The whole "lending money and villas" thing felt a little too stretched for my personal taste, but I could see it as possible given the fantasy situation we're witnessing, Going to the grandparent's home however was all reality and felt correct. The grandparent's doorstep is a place that many, many young, desparate couples have found themselves over the course of human history... Still to ge tthat to work veen better, a scene with Taiga's mother pounding on her apt. door screaming to be let in would have made a good catalyst for the running out... This show continues to play and I'm looking forward to an interesting ending, even if I was in Monorin's camp, Taiga and Ryuji do seem well suited to one another. |

Overall, it was an ok episode. ... I'm angry that I didn't get a kiss scene >.> I mean, I don't think there even was a proper confession scene, but whatever. The whole marriage thing was really quick too, but it was interesting.
One thing I really didn't expect was Ryuuji telling off his mom like that. That was a bit selfish, I thought. Also, Ya-chan just running away, totally didn't expect that either. I thought she was stronger than that, but apparently I was wrong; but I guess we still don't really know what happened yet. Looking forward to the conlusion

i hope ya -chan doesn't die/get hit by a car now that ryuuji has said the worst things one could possibly say and she has run away, would be a really lame way to end the series!
amin x ryuuji ending still possible eh? |

Taiga's family is all crap anyways, Ryuuji is the only family she needs. Ryuuji's mother disappeared because she is too afraid to confront her own problems. Granted, Ryuuji was a bit hard on her but in the long-run it was better for Yasuko to see her issues right in front of her face. She no longer has to worry about Ryuuji and needs to get her own life in order. Ryuuji will always do what he believes is right regardless of the consequences to him.

Thats why there was no kiss scence. They are waiting until episode 25. During the wedding ceremony right when the preacher says "if anyone ... speak now or forever hold you peace"
Ami is gonna breakthrough the chapel doors and say "stop this wedding. I.. I... I love you Ryuji!" then Ryuji says " O " |

Well Ryuji don't care about Ami , she's just a friend or i rather said a schoolmate .
So if she'll said she love him , he'll said "Sorry Ami , i have Taiga , cya" I don't think Ami will confess , she'll let them be together now Yeah poor Ami she don't get one chance ! |

I wonder why when Minori asked Ryuji if he loved Taiga and he says "yes" without much thought or adieu. When Ami asked he got all nervous and says "why are you asking me that?" I've been rewatching the series so that I will hopefully finish episode 24 again on wedensday in time to watch the finale. I said this once before, but it bears repeating. In the novel I don't think Ami ever really loved (romantically) Ryuji, but in the anime I think there was a time when she had a crush on him. There was the time when she told him something like minorin is your sun, but if you stare at it too much itll blind you, im not your sun im your equal. im a better match for you than her. |

Waitaminute... it just occurred to me... Ryuuji's maternal grandparents are named Takasu?
I'm also trying to get a rewatch done by tomorrow (up to ep 20). Unfortunately about half an hour after I get home from school tomorrow I have a dentist's appointment. D: whyyyyyy... I can only hope I can get the torrent started before I leave.
