And I actually like Toradora quite a bit, I just felt that the ending done by JC staff was very poor and I ended up feeling disappointed.

Another reason is that real life doesn't wrap up very nicely like that. Reminds me of Azumanga a little. Quote:
Don't blame JC for only having a summary to work with. |

... well, its "the same" in the same sense that a one page synopsis of a 30 page study is "the same". Episode 24 and 25 had to cover nearly two full volumes of story. It was probably a hair-pulling process of reduction. Ep 24 seems to have suffered the most (in terms that many people who have not read the material had some difficulty in understanding the "why" of some actions). Ep 25 wrapped up nicely but there were a lot of parts left on the floor from the assembly.... and as Kaisos mentions they had to do a lot of the storyboarding from an outline rather than the detailed events of the last book.
Overall I loved the anime series (and will discuss it in that thread when it is created) but I'm not going to pretend there weren't any blemishes.

They foreshadowed everything with Yasuko fine. Did you not catch the fact that she's a single pregnant teenage runaway before this episode or what? Because if you did, can you really not imagine how that'd be hard for her? Her relationship with her son is her whole life, him yelling at her and running off left her very hurt. Quote:

Kitamura's going to America to be with Sumire, Yasuko's reconciled with her parents, Inko-chan said his name, Ami's accepted Ryuuji as a friend, Minori's fulfilling her dream in pursuing softball, Noto finally made a move on Maya. What side character are you talking about? Quote:

Just like to mention here, since I think it's rather relevant:
Although the journey IS more important than the destination, it's the ending that sticks in your memory forever. Which is why for a show to be good, it has to be good OVERALL. Something about something being a sum of its parts or something. I don't know what I'm trying to quote. |

On a finishing note, this anime never fails to surprise me, and it is like what a lot of people described it to be "powerful". For all the twists and turns in the anime, I found them acceptable and logical. This help contribute to my opinion that this anime is definitely one of the best dramas I have seen. |

Hmm, all of this talk has got me interested in reading the novel at some point. I'll probably buy the (licensed) Chinese translation because Japanese novels translated into English just don't flow well for some reason... and it's not only linguistic issues, but the style of writing as well. |

[Edit] Didn't want to make a new post just for this so I'm writing it here... "Can someone tell me how to spoil?" ... That has got to be the funniest thing I've read today [Edit 2] Hmm, I guess Sephiroth was asking about the proper way to go about spoiling something, i.e. using spoiler tags (it's that "warning icon" in the formatting bar that moves aside to reveal a face) and posting in the correct threads. However, that question in isolation is really quite hilarious. Last edited by Yukinokesshou; 2009-03-27 at 16:28. |

Second, don't put novel spoilers in non-novel threads. That's deletable/bannable EVEN if they are covered by a spoiler tag. We have a novel thread next door, talk about the novel there. And if you've just HEARD something.... you might want to rethink saying it unless you've verified it yourself. People don't take kindly to unverified gossip/rumor because it often turns out to be just wrong. As for how to TAG something under a spoiler metatag - when you create/edit a post, look in the upper right of the format buttons for an animated girl peeking out from behind a triangle. Use your mouse to highlight the text you want to conceal, then click the triangle. You'll get a subwindow asking you to title the spoiler -- please take the time to title it so that people understand why they shouldn't peer inside. Example: "Spoilers from Volume 10" or "If you haven't seen chapter X, don't open" Spoiler for example of construction:
If you quote this post into your post, you'll see how the tags are constructed --- its basically similar to HTML codes.

A nice example would be code geass r2. The series was awefully written en ridiculious, but it had an ending that nobody will forget. I find the series ToraDora itself every good. But even though the ending was in my opinion still very good, I find it a bit laccking compared to some of the previous episodes. |

She thinks she's looking out for his best interests by making sacrifices for him but Ryuuji doesn't see it that way and that's where the fight begins. Yes she's putting her own hopes for him above what he says he wants to/doesn't want to do (He did want to go to college, at least at some point in time) but that's normal for a parent, especially one with a child who excels at school.

I'd like to see more on her too but I think they gave us enough information for what the story required, she had her scene where she made peace with her position in regards to Ryuuji and the group as a whole and that's all that can be said about it. What she does after graduation is up to her, maybe we'll get an OVA, which I'd like (But again, it's not necessary). |

http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl...909&attid=6853 very good review. Pretty much sums up why Toradora is just below average.

It still seems like you didn't quite get the conflict between Ryuji and Yasako. It seems like you picked a few phrases said by Ryuji in one episode and ignored, missed, or failed to connect the dots on the rest of the info that was presented. I don't really feel like re-hashing everything that went down, there was a lot of information given in little bits over a bunch of different episodes. The short version is that they both did things that the other didn't want them to do because they were trying to help each other and it ended up blowing up in their faces. I'm not really sure what your beef with the supporting cast is, how much more closure were you looking for ? They got the standard treatment that most other side characters get, a brief explanation, a parting shot, etc. |
