If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

After being lured by a pic of Ami, I dugg up a doujin from c77 that turned out to have a bunch of Toradora staff stuff in it. As I read the interview and saw how they originally wanted to avoid Kugimiya at all costs, I can't help but wonder why they didn't come through with it...

Well, to be fair, Taiga's character is like that. Now someone miracle me some way of getting Ami plot.

Nope, Toradora was a light novel, anime was probably the best chance for some alternative ending.

I know it started as a light novel, but I seem to remember seeing something about some company making a VN. It wouldn't be unheard of due to its popularity and the nature of the story.

Edit: Aha!
A visual novel developed by Guyzware and published by Namco Bandai Games based on Toradora! is playable on the PlayStation Portable, and was released on April 30, 2009. The player assumes the role of Ryūji Takasu where he moves around school and town, conversing with characters and working towards multiple endings as part of an original storyline. The game also features a minigame where players play as Taiga, fending off lovesick guys.

Didn't know about that, but really wouldn't feel right unless they completely destroy half of the premise of the original light novels. But if that happens, it is really just a different work. You seldom see competition between different characters when they all have routes, but since the novel has a definitive end, you can indeed create such conflicts. So yeah...what I'd love to see is an alternative scenario extending from the book where Ami wins out.

Too rare do you see VN actually work up drama between heroines.

Started watching Gundam Seed on recommendation from a friend. It's pretty cool, and tbh I've never seen a Gundam series before. I know I'm going to marathon it once I've got no more work to do, but is the 2nd season (Gundam Seed Destiny) worth watching too?

Also in the past 2 weeks I watched the first 2 seasons of Hidamari Sketch, all the Specials/OVAs, and caught up with the 3rd season.

Fuck I love this show.

Gundam Seed is great. I loved it. Gundam Seed Destiny is okay, but compared to other Gundam series, it's pretty bad. The complaints I hear the most include the fact that the main character gets replaced halfway through the season, that some characters are practically destroyed (personality-wise), and that the final fight is ridiculous. The only reason I sat through it was for completeness' sake.

If you still like Gundam Seed by the time you finish watching it, then go ahead and watch Destiny. The ending is a rushed as hell, but overall you'll have fun.

The only Gundam series I'd recommend watching as a series in and of itself (and not to one as a Gundam fan) is 08th MS Team. That's the only thing Gundam I personally consider really to be any good. The rest go from being kinda good, to a lot of mediocre and bad.


I just finished watching Seitokai no Ichizon and Canaan...I liked both. Canaan was a bit too preachy and short, but the animation was great.

going into Canaan i thought it would be different than what it turned out to be, and was disappointed because of that ;x the animation was good though.

Is this thread going to double as a manga discussion thread, too?

<.<
>.>

TL doesn't need another anime/manga/Japanese culture thing to clutter up the general discussion, but there's a lot of stuff mangas have to offer.

Anyway, I'm still surprised that the day I was marathoning through Ghost in the Shell, JD Salinger just so happens to die, right after I discussed about the unheimlich with a friend of mine.

I'll admit that I loved Gundam Seed too. Destiny is okay, and I was really into it while it was airing, but chances are you'll hate the main character (even more so than you already may hate Kira), and + Show Spoiler [spoilers, obviously :P] +
while different, it felt like the exact same things happened in the end.


I know Gundam is essentially the same storyline over and over, with similar character types, but I still love it. Can't wait for the 00 movie that's supposed to come out in March (though I'm not sure when it will be watchable, if it's a theater release), and I don't really remember it well, but 08th MS was great when it was on Adult Swim.

I'm pretty sure you were supposed to hate the MC from Destiny, lol. He has antihero written all over him.

Well...at least I hated him. God the ending was so stupid.

Gundam 00 was an OK series overall. There wasn't as much of the angsty main character bit that I really hated (though Setsuna had some of it). The robots were pretty cool as well :D

I dropped it on like episode 8 or so. It was too damn slow. In addition, the characters were uninteresting, as was the plot overall, to me. Does it pick up later on?

It became more interesting later on, but yeah the first episodes are just noob bashing.

Considering how just about every gundam is better than SEED...00 does pick up, though I am partial to it because of the ideas.
