Just finished Toradora. It was super-good, I really liked it.

It's a classic that bears multiple watches, Particularly to pay more attention to Ami and Miniri on the second watch when you aren't as absorbed in the plot overall.

Be honest though, motherfucker. Did you cry?

Was it when Taiga runs out into the street barefooted with the cold piercing her like razors, crying for Ryuuji, clutching and smelling his scarf?

FUCK.

I thought Watashitachi no Tamura-kun was better.

I have been planning to watch it for some time now, but i am not sure anymore, since i have started to hate cryporn shit with a passion.

Toradora is the greatest love story ever told.

Because she's complicated and not just moeblob fanservice as you prefer. If you can't see past "classic tsundere bitch" then it simply went over your head.

What do you mean by forced?

Second greatest love story ever told after Kimi no na wa

>>155874610

That would be a huge disservice. The premise is dumb (you lost your memory) but a necessary contrivance. You reach the point the show/LN leave off eventually though and the earlier parts of the game allow you to set it up so you have actual choices.

A lil' teaser is that if you fuck up you can get worst ending almost immediately and end up as Ami's bootlicking sycophant (which she has no respect for).

>>155874645

It's top notch at least and seals the fucking deal with no "fans are whiny bitches so lets not anger them" waffling around.

>>155872275
Toradora. Yet another example of how tsun tsun bitches always beat out best girl

>>155872275
I miss when Toradora threads were ami hijackied. This anime sucked. Taiga was ugly and annoying and all the characters generally deserved nothing more than being shoved through a meat grinder.

I watched it so long ago that I barely remember it.

You're right. It's also one of the greatest comedies as well.

>>155874823
Which one? Haters seems to be divided between Ami and Minorin.

>>155874743
>>155877616
There are two kinds of drama.

First is the kind, where in the story there is a death or some other sad moment. The writer does not want you do cry at that moment, but you cry because you actually care.

Second is the kind where the writer really wants to make you cry, so he pulls out all the stops. He really wants to force you to cry, so he inserts a sad song, characters start crying and the situation is written in such a way, that it manipulates you into crying. That is forced melodrama and i hate it. Stuff like Kimi no nawa, Anohana and Ef a tale of memories are all guilty of this, and i despise them.

You misunderstand drama. You think drama is what you like and melodrama is the same thing but instances you don't like. Drama is drama, and good artistry involves music, lighting, acting, etc.. If you're crying, you weren't manipulated, YOU *felt it* and it was by every definition successful drama. You're saying good acting "manipulates" you into believing the characters seem real or interesting. Which is correct and desirable.

Your second description is actually "maudlin". Cheap and easy and lacking subtlety or feeling like it's earned or warranted the emotions or situations it's going for. This does not apply to Toradora, which is a fairly slow-burn character-focused drama/comedy that has payoffs based on valid character interaction and plot that's natural for the most part. Best parts would be the Christmas thing, scenes where Ami lays out her real personality by the vending machines, Taiga's 180 from being a textbook bitch to understanding why, to her becoming the girl with the sheet on her head enacting a wedding..."again....again."

Less than stellar parts are the eps with her dad that were kind of pointless. They were clearly meant to help set up later payoff but IMO were unneeded and subtlety would have been better.

By and large, it flows naturally, has a LOT of slow, quiet character interactions and nuance. Especially between Ryuuji and Minori. This whole "hoping favorite character in a vaccum 'wins'"shit is a leaking tumor that needs excised. Minori quietly rejecting Ryuuji is SO much more interesting (and real) than the usual anime crap where you're just picking your favorite fighting game character to win on a selection screen. Bittersweet is hard to pull off and it does it in spades.

Toradora earns every bit of the feels it dishes out, is not overwrought or "manipulative". It does not have the drama equivalent of a jump scare. People don't like it when things get under their skin like this did to people trying to hate on it.

>>155874525

The fucking show is about how there is really not a "best girl" in reality. They are always flawed girls and you pick the one you love the most and somebody is going to get hurt and there will be regrets. Such is life. I've been there, you will be there (unless you're a hikkiNEET in which case, you're textbook /a/).

>>155881827
Clannad wasnt that bad. It gave us almost 40 episodes to get to know the main couple, before it got into the real feels. And it set up every feel good/bad moment, really early. It's way better than something like Ef or Anohana, that has like 12 episodes, and expects you to already start crying at episode 5.

>>155878650
Honey and Clover is in a completely different league, you can't compare it to Toradora.

A "Rebuild" of Karekano could be better than Toradora, but the anime we have right now is not.

>>155880236
Ore Monogatari doesn't have the deep that Toradora has, is funnier but not better.

I haven't read the Kimi ni Todoke manga past the anime seasons, but the anime was really good.

>>155882488
Take your shit taste back to animesuki. Kare Kano blows Torahorribe out of the fucking water.

They would never work as a long-term couple, Anon, and you know this. Minori and him like each other and that's it. She is an untouchable ideal that doesn't match up with the reality once she's in reach. They like each other. Ryuuji and Taiga NEED each other to live.

Ryuuji is a good person because of her determination to deal with her poor decisions. She kept him and gave him a decent life with no one's help. It's true people are defined by their desicions but they're equally defined by the actions that take to deal with the consequences of those.

>>155892246
The man Ryuuji was before meeting Taiga was partly thanks to her. It wasn't only feeding for him. She also gave him freedom, opportunities and made sure he wasn't hold back by hatred or sadness by allowing him to lead a childhood as normal as she could. She kept saying nice things of the bastard who abandoned them for the sake of her child. She may not be too smart but boy did she show unfathomable strength as a mother. A teenage mom even, given her current appearance. It's a miracle Ryuuji didn't ended up in a dumpster.
