Animation Quality: 8 - nothing groundbreaking but nothing really stood out as bad here either, I quite liked it
Voice Actors: 10 - I thought the acting was spot-on throughout the series. Fantastic work on all fronts.
Script: 9 - A few pacing problems aside, it was a great story and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Soundtrack: 9 - BGM was decent, but the OPs and EDs made it for me. Great tracks.
Editing: 8 - As with any adaptation some stuff needs to be left out, but it wasn't enough to ruin the story. Good job here.
Enjoyment: 10 - This was a flat-out fun series to watch. My wife and I are re-watching it already.
Emotional Involvement: 9 - I can't say this series moved me as much as others did (such as Clannad) but I loved the entire cast and some of the series' twists and turns were truly surprising. I really got caught up in it at times.
Overall: 63 / 70 = 90% => 9
Toradora! was a fantastic series with some of the best storytelling I've seen in a long time. Definitely a new member of my Top 5.
