I don't think I cried as much as I did when I would have to drop my (at the time) girlfriend off at the airport. I think I feel more sorry for Ryuuji simply because of the fact that Taiga never really said "Good bye" to him face to face. I'm sure he would have begged her not to do this, but just as he understood her reasoning after reading her note and from the past experience of the growing pains that they both shared. It was definitely painful on both sides I'm sure, I just felt that it was a more painful way of initiating the long gap between seeing each other. I am speaking from experience. Pictures don't do a person you love justice, each time I would see my (at the time) girlfriend off or she would see me off I would always etc those final visual moments in my brain and the final kiss we would share before we would part again for a while. It was more sentimental than any picture could do. |

I'm curious about the lyrics to the ED theme on eps 25. It was the same bitter orange song, but in reading the translation, and seeing the images complied from ops & eds from the whole series, it seemed to be giving us a rememberance from Taiga's POV. The version I was watching though, stopped the lyrics translations as soon as the epilogue scenes began, and based on everything else I've seen in this show, the rest of those lyrics may have been significant in relation to what was appearing onscreen, or going through Taiga's mind in the ensuing year.
Does anyone have the full lyrics translation for that special version of ED song? >>>EDIT<<< Nevermind minna, I found them. The whole song was being used. Last edited by Mughi; 2009-03-27 at 13:01. |

I have to say that although things were considerably messed up getting here in the last episode or two... Things worked out surprisingly well. I was definitely expecting things to end poorly to match the strangeness of all the running away and the yelling and the like, but it basically ended exactly how it was before all the drama was introduced.
That's good because it's what I wanted to see happen. I have to say I'll miss Toradora! because it was such a fantastic show, but I think it might be one of those shows that you remember for a long time because of the things people said in it. Toradora! really has some lessons in it that you can learn from and use in your own life. My only complaint is that I wish it had been longer. It felt like it ended a bit too short, but then Taiga was there so... <_< I don't really have much to say about how things turned out. Everybody else seems to like the ending as well.

The only obstacle would be to find a talented actress who's short and spunky enough to play Taiga. |

Exactly. There's a depressing trend in Japan, or at least Fuji TV, to cast Narumi Riko whenever they need a teenage female protagonist with a "bratty" personality, but she's the last person I'd want to play a complex character like Taiga. She was absolutely awful as Hagu-chan in Honey and Clover and would be equally bad as a tsundere. She just comes across as very artificial to me and the only emotions she can get right are anger or melancholy (arguably the easiest emotions to imitate) -_- |

Yeah... anyone who's wondering why I'm so ambivalent about a live action version of Toradora ought to see the dreadfulness that is Honey and Clover live action for themselves. Also, I'm not so sure about Yasuko looking younger than Taiga... Taiga in a ponytail (see ep 12) looked like a ten-year-old for goodness sake

So apparently despite my dropping of this way back during episode 07 for boring me to death this somehow turned out to be incredibly good? I'm having a hard time seeing this, but I might have to check it out because this sounds like it must be one hell of a turnaround.

live-action movies mostly screw up
u can't catch the feelings in anime in real life, that's what I think is the biggest problem, not maybe the special effects or to choose the actors but the emotions emotions are very important in an anime and without the specific emotions an anime loses his pride not that I want to say that human can't be like the characters in animes but they can't show the emotions the way the anime character does |

As for the "live-action" possibility discussion --- you have to remember that the live-action Honey&Clover and Lov*Com films did fairly well financially for a small-budget film and - most importantly drove up the sales of the other products (books, DVDs, etc). Live-action makes something effectively "mainstream" in Japan.

I did not misunderstand Ryuji's dilemma with his mother. Like I said, he quickly recovered from his psychological dilemma with relatively no explanation other than the fact that he has seen his mother tried hard for his sake, and that this is what she wants. This does not clear up the issue though. I do not see how he could of recovered from his thoughts of being a burden. He still has to decide if he wants to work to help his mother, or fulfill his mother's wishes of chasing greater goals in college. He feels he'll be a burden if he does not try to bring in pay. And side characters or not, you do not introduce stories if you do plan to conclude them. Bad storytelling. Quote:

Reckoner, no offense, but I'm becoming convinced you hate every show you watch... Anyway, since I have no desire to read through the backlog of pages here, I'll just say: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EPIC WIN BEST KISS EVER TEN OUT OF TEN Even though some individual episodes of the show had... issues, the show as a whole gets a 10 simply because I enjoyed it THAT MUCH. BEST. LOVECOM. EVER. That is all. |
