10 more eps to go, and we have at least like what, 7 plus volumes of light novels to cover. I wonder how the talented crew of this adaptation can pull gymnastics on this.

Hmmm, I have to counter a bit that I thought the anime DID express her loneliness and fragility
I'd say that what's missing isn't her loneliness. It's the trust they have for each other.

This is a 1-cour series? bleh.... that's unfortunate (unless they're going to go multiple cour based on ratings response).

From what I was told, it seems to be one shot deal. But, I can be wrong.

That's going to be interesting...
They'd have to pull almost a 1:1 volume:episode ratio.

Not being too familiar with light novel to anime adaptations, I don't know if that's ridiculously fast, but it certainly seems so to me.

I hope they do more of this series because it's good as hell. There is no boring part for me in the show.

Does cour (Course?) refer merely to the length of the season? Because I think we've known Toradora's season would be 12/13 episodes for some time now.

Vexx, once again you bring the voice of wisdom to this beat to death conversation!

...and I agree with your point!

I'd also like to point out (as a non manga/novel reader), on my first viewing of the confession scene, I caught the subtext of Taiga's speech and I also felt that Kitamura also caught it, thus he didn't feel like such a heel for rejecting her knowing that Ryuuji is there for her (even if she doesn't realize it yet!).

Ya'll may have known it but for some reason I missed that nugget of data. My bad.

@CrowKenobi: yeah, it was clear as day where Kitamura was going with his words to Taiga. And seriously, I thought that was the dearest little heartrending confession I've seen in ages. You can just feel her completely knotting up inside while hyperventilating. There was one other confession that actually had me muttering "come on you can do it" but I'm forgetting which series it was (will edit when I recall).

And so, with the second episode, this series has become a lot more watchable for me. Taiga has made significant progress in differentiating herself as a character from Rie Kugimiya's past roles, and the story itself has progressed further than I had expected. I can easily see this being just 1 cour in length, as the pace of the second episode resolved more than some other shows would in an entire season. I'm now definitely interested in continuing to follow this show.

Also, I didn't notice it in the first episode, but the second one really opened my ears to the fact that Minori is voiced by Horie Yui. Minori's character is completely different from what I initially expected, but that's actually a good thing, as I predict many laughs to come from her.

Well it depends on sponsorship. If there is enough money, they might make it 2 seasons, who knows. But to my knowledge, they only have plans for 1 season so far. So it is either a very fanciful summary of 8 volumes of novels or something else entirely different from the novels which I don't see it so far.

Somehow I doubt that. For some reason I dislike Minorin, and I can't figure out why. Whenever I see her and she's being a weirdo it just makes me cringe.

It didn't not made me cringe, but this hyperactive weirdo is going on my nerve.

Yeah her whole shouting and then leaping forward into the formal bow was weird. I don't remember her coming off as that spastic in the manga/novels...

With Minori, I didn't really notice just how crazy she was supposed to be until maybe the third book. She'd talk about making buckets of pudding and make pervy jokes with Taiga but it wasn't until much later that we see how hyperactive she is. The OP/ED scenes with her capture her personality perfectly.

Minorin is ADHD poster child, Ryuji is a OCD standard bearer, Taiga has anti-social tendencies and soon to come Ami is a histrionic hedonist princess. Kitamura has god complex.

What is there not to love about this series?
