    I enjoy overly aggressive female characters like Taiga, but I find it quite funny that she's incompetent most simple issues.

    Try to get your hands on CoreAvc, that may help

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Painfully boring, and look at how kushieda's face is drawn. I think I'll stop the pain and drop that one...

    Taiga gets on my nerves. I don't think I'm much of a masochist, to sit through this. I might drop it myself as well. There's not much comedy, or anything much to counteract the annoyance.

    I'm also likely dropping this one. Episode 3 was just terrible and irritating I mean Taiga just comes off as a total bitch for the entire thing. Plus this series has just been all over the place for me. Episode 1 was alright it was decent for setup and promised comedy. Episode 2 on the other hand was super emo and forced the series to progress to far with little real reason. Now we have episode 3 which is nearly unwatchable because of the forced progression in episode 2 biting us in the ass..

    I had honestly expected a lot more out of this series. Unfortunately, it has fallen into another derivative Rie Kugimya tsundere series. Minorin is just really annoying despite (or perhaps due to) Yui Horie's performance, and the only good thing about the series is Ryuuji's mom. I'd like to see who the third girl is, but I suppose if I was really interested, I can just go back to the translations of the novels.

    I'll drop this, pick up a few other series that are more amusing, and stick with Akasaka for my Kugumiya-Tsundere.

    god, this episode was stale.

    also, it quite funny that the characters are either complete idiots, or all knowing wiseasses.

    how dumb do you need to be to not notice the window, especially after you've talked about it ten second ago.

    Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    After reading your comments I was expecting to see a lot of "Love Hina" beatings, but this didn't really happen (thanks god)

    However, I still don't like it when a character gets hit for something so trivial.

    the devil-zombie Taiga was enjoyable to watch though

    I'm dropping this series as well. I don't anymore know what's the big idea behind this show, and I wonder if even the author him/herself knows. So little of interest has happened in three episodes that it's hard to justify spending the time and bandwidth.

    I don't see anything wrong with Toradora for now... it's another romance anime, that's all.
    Was it hyped in Japan or something like this? If yes, well then it's a good thing I didn't know that, because it's enjoyable as it is right now...but its nothing "special" at all

    It's funny enough to keep me watching it and I want to see more "Kitamaru-Carnivals" (wtf?!)

    what's the big idea behind this show
    normally this kind of question is revealed in the end of a show, not in the beginning.
    but I don't know exactly why you want to know that, or what you are looking for at the moment, so maybe I'm misunderstanding you right now.

    watched episode 4.
    this really is just another romance anime...
    guy, girl, having a real close relations after two episodes, and then hang around for 20 more episodes.

    the Kushieda\Kitamura circle just isn't working. Kitamura isn't a likable character. and Kushieda is just forced down our throats with her 'cute silly' attitude, that we can basically all agree that she isn't ready to to be in a relationship (or rather, that whoever ends up with her will go through hell).

    other than being a bad romance, the series doesn't work around the strong points of the two main characters. it could have at least been a decent 'highschool' anime, but we never see them talking with anyone else in class, (or with anyone other than each other), so they stay at the level of 'hormone crazed woman bitch' and 'surprisingly patient and idiot man-bitch'.
    like any other tsundere anime, since the happy days of the 90's...

    however, I liked the class president, (whose voice I've heard in tens of other animes.. I'm sure of it), maybe next episode will go somewhere.

    I simply meant what specific idea in this show makes this show what it is. In the very beginning it looked like the extreme tsundere and the menacing looking man-bitch, but that wasn't really taken or developed anywhere, and got stale soon, yet nothing new appeared. Unless a show wants to be nothing but a gray textbook story, it has to have something extra and novel, something it will be remembered of, and I have seen nothing such in this show, at least nothing I'd care to remember.

    Agreeīd, i was looking forward to more of such scenes.

    My initial problem with the series remains: Itīs just not believable that Aisaka loves Kitamura and the main character loves Kushieda. It comes to me, being the audience, more like admiration. And it doesnt help when from the very beginning there are signals that show me, that Aisaka actually has some feeling for the main character, and probably the other way round, too. I mean, in this episode it was the photo she accidantally took of the main character.

    And so it becomes boring, because you know what will happen in the future, or at least should happen.
    But i really like the 2 main characters and the opening is kinda great, so ill keep watching

    If they made it like FMP:Fumoffu with a lot of good development and high school interaction, it'd be great. As it is, there's really no point to watching it at all, except for the last episode just to find out what happens. Getting there is gonna be a face-to-desk situation of fun.

    Surprised at all the hate. Its a slow show, but I appreciate that it isn't exactly formulaic.

  19. #59
    Quite the contrary, it is quite a formulaic Kugimiya-tsundere series. Meaning there's no real plot except copious amounts of Kugimiya bitching.

    Yeah, I'm tired of Kugimiya Rie loli series.
