    I can't verify it, but supposedly gg got a C&D order for this show. At least, that's what it says on their "projects" page. I only checked because I had heard on another site that they had dropped it. Can anyone confirm? Not that this series is one of the best this season, but it's still nice to have a reputable subber on it.

    It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.

    Aero is pretty good. They are on par with most subbers like Ayako. I skipped over episodes 3 and 4 of this series, but I'll come back temporarily for the new girl in episode 5.
    [Aero] Toradora 5 (1280x720)
    [Aero] Toradora 5 (SD)

    Just another two-faced character, but it should be interesting to see what Taiga does to her or if they can get her to break down. Ami's fake personality is really disgusting.

    if we can trust this, it is not licensed

    which means, that a c+d would be somehow pointless for ADV, right?

    ahh... doublepost.. sry

    well I'll simply use this for the second piece of information

    gg dropped Toradora
    "Yeah, we did. Nobody but me was in any way interested in the show and I had to drag their weight and frustrate them out for 3 weeks straight after episode one, so we’re back to dropping it. HOWEVER, I am continuing this with another group. You’ll see me around with them in hopefully the same timely manner as we’ve been doing it so far. More to come on this.

    P.S. I’m not with coal guys, I’m way coaler than that."

    I'll watch Aero subs for now, I guess, and switch over whenever that new group comes around.

    Ok.. I've watched the episode. getting better.

    Taiga and Ryuugi don't seem to talk much with eachother during the off screen time, as I can't believe that they didn't talk about Amis' behavior (and Ryuu didn't note to her that Kitamura knows Ami is a bitch). Ami looks like a decent character, I wonder what's her deal (other than also being short and hiding it with high heels).

    I really didn't get the Minorin "it's nothing!" gesture during the class scene, wasn't she the one who sent the note to him? it's too soon for ami to learn to fake hand-writings... and Ryuu's mom, is she also only acting as an air-head?

    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.

    Yacchan (Ryuu's mother) really is a total airhead as far as I know. She's a selfish, spoiled, hostess. She's mainly the reason Ryuu turned out the way he did.

    Minorin is just really, really weird. That's all I could see out of the gesture. She was telling him that it most certainly is not okay in her usual, strange annoying way.

    I'm thinking the issue with Ami is that she's always been so stuck on being an model, or the daughter of a famous actress, that she can't be herself. This is Kitamura's concern. Perhaps he believes she will crack if she is unable to let appearances and pretense go and just be able to be herself.

    This episode was certainly better, but only because of introducing a whole new plot. I´d prefer if they stick to Ryuu and Taiga, but, whatever.

    For me Minorin's gesture means that "girls who refer themselves as air-headed are looking or acting like *ballet girls* (you know... all nice and beautiful and stuff) but actually, they are *scary* or an absolute *no-go*"

    this is why she made this (.[o.o].) gesture first and then holding her hands symbolising like a " X " with her arms and hands.

    but oh ya.... that was really weird.

    The funny or weird thing however is, that both Taiga and Minori sit behind Ryuuji to his right... but "Minori's" letter came from his left...

    and since Ami is also sitting to the left (and behind him) I thought she wrote it as first... but since Taiga's letter came from the front I thought this detail didn't really matter.

    Episode in general:

    I really waited for Ryuuji to say "I know that you are just bitching with me" and I hope he will do that at some point... and I hope it he does it when she is in real trouble ^^
    I can't wait to see more.. Ami really made this show interesting for me.
    Would be cool if she really falls in love with Ryuuji or something. Yarrrrr

    So... is Aero a good group? Haven't heard of them.

    Yea, they're about the same as BSS. They're doing like a million shows this season.

    They're not perfect, but they aren't annoying either. So it's ok.
    I can bear some typos when I need my fix on the other shows they sub

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

    I hope that approach of Kawashima towards Ryuu at the end of this episode is real and not some new fake of hers. Would certainly make the story more interesting. Well, what´s to say...the show got better step by step, but the overall plot still seems a bit silly.

    Ami is a good addition with some drama, without her the series is unbearable. Let's hope it doesn't revert to the old man-bitch and loli-bitch three stooges comedy act.

    What I don't get is, Taiga is suppose to help Ryu get to that girl and she hasnt made any attempt yet. Taiga seems more pissed at Ryu if another girl is near him. Sounds like one of those "OMG Help me win other guy heart, while she falls for him, the guy helping her," type of stories. :P

    I initially worried something like that would happen in this series. If it does turn out that Taiga gives up on Kitamura for Ryuji I would feel jipped. This show initially sold me since I saw some potential for it to be different from the typical "seemingly incompatible guy/girl try to help each other find love and end up falling for each other" storyline. That said, even if they do end up together it would be better than having anyone end up with that psycho Kushieda.

    As to this episode I quite enjoyed Ami's development and of course Taiga being Taiga.

    I disagree. the whole idea of the show was for them to end up together. I was hoping it would be just slightly less retarded and forced than other series... it started up nicely, when they both worked together and chances to interact without an "OMG you looked at another woman" attitude all the time, and since both of them are opposites at some levels (he's goodnatured wimp with a bad face, and she's a midget berserk bitch), they could relate and have comical scenes about that.
    but I guess not. Ami and Kitamura are mighty brain-powered, Minorin is just a freaky girl, and Taiga and Ryuugi are both idiots.
    Too bad, I wanted something intellegent, I know we can't get more KKNJ, but one of these days, there must be an anime that isn't total crap.

    oh, episode six. I don't get the entire diet-thing.. and I'd assume that a super-bitch-super-model will try getting her 'stalker' out of her life with some more reasonable ways...
