I assume he's the "physical manifestation" of the excessive dysfunctionality the rest of the cast suffers from

The novel gives endless descriptions of how disgusting the bird is. Be glad they toned it down.

I was kind of disappointed that they left out the vet part. Inko needs more screen time ^^.

Great episode, wasn't as good as the last one obviously... I was hoping Ami be at least a little changed but she doesn't seem to have changed at all [maybe a little bit real friendier with Ryuuji but that's it D:] the more I watch this the more of a father daughter vibe I get from ryu and taiga. Except you don't abuse your father like that... or maybe she does, that's why she's living alone?... lol :P

If so I feel bad for the cast since if its equal they have some serious issues . Though its not like we didn't know about the casts issues to begin with. I just feel bad for that bird every time I see it.

Not a bad episode. That was one heck of a throw by Ami though . Sure it caused some trouble but talk about good distance. Was pretty fun with Minorin using her as a weight. Pretty good moment for Minorin as well at the end. Actually managed cut into the fight and get them moving to tattling on the other .

All hail to Minori's randomness!

Well, I kinda enjoyed this episode, mainly because of Taiga. She is acting extremely cute in this episode. Every time Rjuyi and Taiga stick together, I always have the vibe that they were a married couple.

Lastly, Taiga and Ami finally going to fight or compete because of Takasu..That was fast.

great ep, and i agree there was some subtle development. Others pointed it out so i'm not going to.

She's really docile when she's just woken up or she's sleepy, it's cute .

Awesome episode as usual. I thought Ami said she was going to show her true self?

Episode was cute, but a little too much beating around the bush. I guess they just needed an excuse to set-up for the next episode. But to use an entire episode to do it...
Moreover, it looks like even in the next episode, we won't be seeing the competition - looks to be a training/testing resolve ep.
Seriously, padding (no pun intended) a supposedly 13 episode long series?

As has been noted, best information is that Toradora will be two seasons (ANN and anidb) or at least is prepped for being such depending on ratings.

I really had enjoyed this episode from what happened. When it's Taiga vs. Her Insecurity, it always appears to be an interesting battle. Especially when she gets help from good old Ryuuji. With these latest episodes it's been more enjoyable to watch their relationship in unfurl. It's kind of fun to watch everyone interact between the two.

I'm with the side of these people who does not mind the filler or the lack of progress. If this is what happens when the writers try to make something, it's not offensive or annoying. I wouldn't mind seeing more lately. Especially with the lack of restraint on the physical violence. Ryuuji hits her with a broom, and Taiga kicks him while they are running. Despite all of the breast issues, Ami, and swimming, it was rather tame. It feels much better to see this tiger napping then hunting down a zebra.

I thought it was pretty cute and funny at the same time. I had a pretty guilty laugh at "Stop Sexuality Harassing My Mother!" and when Kitamura walked up to Taiga when she was in her swimsuit. I also enjoyed that scene where Taiga played video games while Ryuuji worked on her breast pad. That's a very realistic scene for friends or people getting along and felt rather comfortable to me. Not to mention, it almosts debunks my fear that Taiga will turn into Louise.

What makes me worried though from watching this episode was with Ami and Minori. Are we ever going to get a serious moment with Minori? If that never happens, then she's just going to feel like a random plot device. A very random plot device. And while Ami was quite cute last episode, I'm wondering how cutesy she will still act in front of the crowd when sahe was introduced.

It all makes me feel rather mixed, but it does make me happy that I've gotten into this series.

I am really liking Ryu as the male lead i mean the crap this guy goes through day in and day out is just nerve racking. I love the contrast between his face and his real personality which is very considerate and kind. Its very obvious he value's Taiga's friendship. All the things he did for her in this episode were above and beyond and what he did to help Taiga feel good about herself and allowed her to go to the pool with everyone else. Even the pools scene in which Taiga landed in the middle of pool (Man Ami's got quite the arm) even though it was embarrassing he wanted to help Taiga save face in front of everyone especially Kitamura. Though i died laughing once Ryu did the deed and slipped the pad back in. I have no problem with the pacing of the series or Ryu and Taiga's relationship the development between the two is coming along very nicely.

Even Taiga had her moments with her apology for being vindictive (cant remember the exact word). She also handed the situation with Ami and Ryu very well by keeping Minorin out of the apartment. At this point Taiga and Ryu are very close and i think the build up to even that has been done well.

Plenty of other crazy nice parts in the episode. "Stop sexually harassing my mother" had to be one of my favorite lines in the episode lol. Minorin using Taiga as a weight was damn funny. Ami was her usually self this episode she almost had a win over Taiga but thanks to Ryu she failed once again. Im guessing her seductive looks towards Ryu were out of playfulness but im not counting on it yet i still think she has an interest in Ryu. Gotta love Taiga's greeting first thing in the morning "Your such a stupid bitch" LMAO oh god that floored me.

9/10

I get feeling things are really going to get moving now in the series.
