I love how Taiga's eyes are actually upturned moe-eyes - they're straight and thicker at the top and round at the bottom. It's not commonly seen in anime nowadays and I relish the effect they're having on Taiga's character and appearance.

And I'm so glad Taiga's able to step out of the shadows of Louise and Shana in terms of voice acting. Kugimiya Rie does a great job here, giving her a grittier, lower and more rebellious quality to her usual (awesome) tsundere portrayals. It really nuances up her character quite a bit.
