It's been a while since I saw this anime but after watching this anime, I alomst was in tears towards the end. It started out slow like most animes, however it picked up quite quickly and I was instantly hooked. However I feel at the start they focused more on comedy and the second half of Toradora focused on the plot . Nonetheless, the comedic antics of Taiga, Ryuuji, Minori, Kitamura and Ami really developed the characters in short space of time they had.
