I was unaware that there was a manga thread. I will post there from now on.
If he is a wimp. He is not one around Taiga. And yeah I typed that fast so it came out weird. on the last part. I forgot to emphasize that she would beat people up for knowing about her affections rather than getting teased about them.

Definitely the Mushi to Medama novels! It is pure excellence (as far as I have read anyways)! Also, there is a novel called "Toki no Mahou to Ubatama no Yoru (時の魔法と烏羽玉の夜/Magic of Time and the Pitch-Dark Night) on my bookshelf, but I haven't read it yet. According to a reviewer, it seems that it is similar to Shakugan no Shana... Other genre... Maybe MM (love comedy) would be nice. It has a "unique" protagonist.

Production Studio is J.C Staff. Director is Nagai Tatsuyuki. Amusingly, the Moonphase comments on how J.C. Staff tends to rape original works, and sometimes into something completely different.

I can't wait for this anime! Really liked the light novel and manga. It's always good to see it animated lol! Let's just hope they at least stick to the novel, I don't know how i'll handle it if they didn't lol!

Yeah they do tend to rape original works except for the series by Kenichi Kasai... though looking over what the director and series comp has done it should be decent/good. Definitely expecting K Rie to voice Taiga now... if she doesn't want to get typecast she shouldn't do it... it doesn't matter if that out of 10 roles she only does 3 loli tsunderes if those 3 are the most prominent roles...

I'm not excited about the anime at all. In fact, I'm really cringing. I'm guessing it won't follow the novels very closely at the end. I'm afraid they will want to end it in 13 episodes and they will definitely have to make up an ending.
Though I could be wrong, and there could be three seasons like Zero no Tsukaima. |

I got hooked by Toradora when I first saw the novel cover, but I've never had the time to read it. I hope I'll enjoy this anime adaptation, I don't care very much if they don't stick with the novel as long as the series is a good one.
I understand your doubts about J.C. Staff animating this, but, hey, they also made wonderful series (Hachimitsu to Clover II anyone? Which Nagai directed too). |

It's pretty hard to mess up the adaptation story wise, since the story in the novel is pretty damn straight forward.
What's difficult is going to be how they would translate the descriptive text into moving pictures. I find half the fun in Toradora is the wacky descriptive text, while the other half is the colourful language employed by the 3 main female characters in the dialogue - whether it is Taiga's creative but highly abusive insults, Minori's slightly twisted sense of puns to Ami's display of dual personalities, if anything I'm looking at how competent the script writer and scenario writer will be, rather than the animation abilities of the anime house or the pass record of the director. The scenario writer Okada Mari is not particularly well known nor can be considered a long time veteran, but seems to have a pretty solid record, and better yet is a female, which I personally feel much more comfortable knowing this because the original novel is written by a female writer afterall and it most definitely shows in the female characters in the novel, and is essentially what separates this series from a lot of other shounen romantic comedy stories.

Ha! Me too! It was around one year ago. I wasn't able to read the hiragana at the time. But I put it into a search engine to find it.

Cast, from Moonphase:
Ryuji: Nojima Hirofumi (Haha, hi Ike) Taiga: Kugimiya Rie (Who would have thought~) Minori: Horie Yui (......) Ami: Kitamura Eri (Who's Ami?... Ah, someone from volume 2. Never read it...) Well, fanboys are going wild somewhere in this world (about the voice actors)... ( -_-) Now, the remaining questions are the episode count (probably 24-26) and how J.C. Staff rapes handles it...

Note that this cast is currently unconfirmed, as stated by Moonphase.
With that out of the way though, I do have to say if it's true then I'm pretty satisfy with the choice. Kugimiya Rie is a no-brainer, Hocchan as the bubbly and bright Minori works. I just have a tiny little bit of doubte about Kitamura Eri until I hear her Ami. Personally even though I think she is a great actor with good range but her voice is leaning towards the deeper end of the voice spectrum and isn't quite sweet/moe enough to portray the sugary perfect exterior of Ami (though the interior I'm sure she will handle VERY well). I was kind of hoping that Kuwatani Natsuko will do Ami but it's not a big issue and I think KitaEri can probably cast off my tiny bit of doubt once I actually hear her.
