Toradora!2008

oh yeah baby. toradora. my love. the one and only. the beautiful. what a show man. everything from the romance, to the drama, to the father abandoning is amazing. It has an excellent start introducing the characters with some great arcs at the beginning like the Ami stalker arc, the swimming pool, the beach house, and going to the second half (which is my favourite), you have the best arcs and scenes in the show, like Taiga's dad just straight ditching her again coming up with excuses, I hate that guy, but it made for a powerful scene, especially with her alone on the stage. Then it moves to the main romance part of the story like the Christmas party. you have a lot in these episodes, like taiga slowly releasing her love for ryuji, away from kitamura, and minori admitting she likes ryuji finally after her falling out with ami. My least favourite arc in the show is kitamuras though, but it is still good. He got kinda, not really rejected by kano because she's moving to America so he just kinda went hella emo but with blonde hair, I think that was weak, but it lead to one of my favourite ever scenes in the show, with kano and taiga duelling it out in the classroom. But by far my favourite is the last arc in the show, with taiga confessing to ryuji (technically at the ski resort) but officially at the bridge and I love that entire arc and how the characters all interact with each other, like with yasuko and taigas mum confronting them before they 'ran away'. then it lead to my favourite scene in all of television, the kiss scene. holy ****. yes. absolute cinema. I adore this show so so much. its amazing.

favourite show of all time and its not even close. 10/10 must watch all time clasic.

Great romance, intriguing characters, incredibly well done soundtrack. Loved it.
