Seriously though. For the longest time I've been thinking AnoHana is overrated. I think it was good, but not to the level most of you talk about it as.
The only one who is always gushing about it is ZNF, it was certainly a nice show with decent feels, but I dont think anyone was losing sleep over how good it was.

I hear everyone talking it up all the time. It's good, but that's as far as I'd go.

Yozakura Quartet best fanservice of the season
|
I am still hating on Kokokone author because screw Inaban, I just wanted more Iorin. I didn't even care about pairing, at that, since MC kinda sucked anyway. I just wanted more page time. And now this troll uses Iorin to end the series properly so I have to buy the last ss vol as well, fuck this guy.

It was some pretty impressive gushing.

Inaban and Iorin... it was like... who gives a shit by the end.

And it got Ferrose temp banned lol.
@Maxie, Yozakura has nice fight scenes and an interesting story too. The chars are decent-ish also. The fanservice is just a plus for me though ^_^

Pairing? Probably no one. Actual air and page time? I certainly care.

I guess I've been waiting for such a dramatic scene from either one seeing as how things are and considering Taiga's usual attitude, seeing her cry and scream for Ryuji is such a stark contrast to her usual even if she's gotten nicer to Ryuji(called him sugary dog from just dog recently rofl) which makes it even better. Having Minori see her best friend ball her eyes out from a distance and rejecting Ryuji as a result, so dramatic. I think the only thing that would make this better is if Ryuji just happened to be leaving his place or something and saw her cry and scream for him first hand. Too bad Toradora only had one of these strong scenes and not a lot more though. Would've loved more.
oops, forgot about swimming episode when he almost drowns but hat can be pegged to her worried about his safety while in this one, it's much more clear that it's because she realizes just how important he was to her.
Couple more episodes later tonight. Really hope they don't go for the cheesiest ending seeing what they are going to be doing. I'm hoping they'll explore the relationship but get the feeling that it'll end right after a confession or something. Well of course she was crying, who else was going to feed her if Ryuji was with Minori all the time  . I think that part was really sad indeed, but I don't see how having a gf has to exclude everyone else in your life so that part was a bit exaggerated on her part. Besides the fact those 2 end together which I didn't like, the ending was kind of odd and felt extremely rushed... you'll see why. It was like omg the show is ending let's go at 400kmh NOW! then oh wait we don't have to rush let's do something odd and out of place to finish the show :D, let me know what you think of how it ends. ya, I agree. It was a bit odd about her thinking she'll be excluded if he hooks up with Minori but then again, who knows what she's been through. Since her family isn't there for her and it was only Minori, she lacked his kind of person in her life and she must've felt that since he loves Minori a lot, that he would focus on her and she'll lose his attention and such which I can see from her perspective(not necessary agree from ours). I'll be watching it later tonight so I'll let you know for sure although if its as rushed as you say it is, prepare for a lot of swearing XD They've done things well enough so far but it would really destroy the anime for me if in the ending, it's something like a mere confession they kiss then it just finishes and honestly, I have a feeling that's how it's going to be so I'm prepared for it. Would be nice if they went further, several episodes at least about the relationship once its confirmed between them to see the reactions and further development but I doubt it with the number of episodes left sigh. btw, her reactions to kitamuru now are normal so I saw that as a hint of what's to come, not that we need it. Yeah I mean it goes like you would think but there was an unnecessary sense of urgency about their relationship that felt out of place, that's what I meant with them rushing. I won't say much about it but I think the writers just made their relationship escalate too quickly, maybe you'll think so as well. It sort of reminded me of Kokoro Connect, they throw a curb ball all of a sudden and shit ends oddly lol. As pissed as the ending of Kokoro made me I would recommend it, I'm just the type of guy who gets angry if the guy/girl doesn't end up with the other guy/girl I like .
hmm I dunno. I mean ya, I agree that more episodes with them developing it would be better and personally, I want more to watch lol but then, it also feels like they have developed so much and gotten so much closer 20 episodes in so I wonder what other stuff they could've added. I do feel they needed more classmates that like Ryuji aside from current ones and maybe Ryuji having an interest in another classmate as well would've added more then we'll see an internal struggle for him and see how Taiga reacts if it's not only Minorin he likes(maybe Amy should've been that). This would develop a sense of competition and it doesn't feel as straightforward as it currently is.
I'm gonna guess something happened in the last couple of episodes that I haven't seen yet which is why you think it was rushed and it may very well be but I guess, I'll find out soon enough. hehe(bolded). Ya, I would probably do that as well but lucky for me, I think that Ryuji and Taiga would be a decent fit and I'm ok with it. I just want a good ending for it to make it that much better. Getting more excited to see the ending now XD

Yeah definitely more episodes, even if it would have been more of the same we could have used time to see how they are as a couple as opposed the usual omg I love you /end of story lol. What bothered me the most was his sudden change of mind about Minori, like ... dude you spent 22 episodes into this girl then because Taiga is into you you're just gonna forget that? wtf. Also I like how Minori can "sacrifice" herself for Taiga's happiness but it can't go the other way around, she was stupidly sad and crying a lot about giving up Ryuji but SHE'S the one who has to do that not Taiga <.<. That's what I meant before when I said that the secondary characters were pretty meaningless in the end, they are all there to make it seem more dramatic and to sacrifice themselves for the main characters.
I hope they make a movie/ova just to undo all that crap and give Ami some love , she was actually nice after she stopped being a fake bitch haha and cared for Ryuji. Oh that reminds me, that OVA is pretty useless, just stupid funny shit about cooking.

Considering how all the fan raging at the source couldn't yield any Ami derivative works the chances of anything happening to a series that has ended is nil. That's not even considering how author is only working on Golden Time now, lol.
Also idk why you are making a big deal of secondary characters being pointless, because there are only as many pairings in the end as there are MCs to fill. You will be lucky if there even exists enough lines for you to remember a secondary character's name because they don't matter at all. Stuff like WA simply began with the premise that there is going to be soap drama level of cheating and switching of partners. Most things don't even bother after the pairing is established. Barring certain eroge adaptations like WA, the chances of the former out of the anime/LN field is basically none given the target audience. If that's the kind of stuff that you want, honestly, anime is a medium that will almost never yield you anything.
Oh right, a good rule to remember. Best girl never wins.

I know they are not going to make anything more with Toradora, but it doesn't cost anything to dream right?. I just liked her better that is all, that rule definitely applies here. I'm okay with how most anime's of this type end, some I just end up being disappointed by, I liked WA1 and 2 is looking promising, I don't like when both the pairings are set from episode 1 like Tora, something like True Tears is better.
I haven't watched Golden time because someone compared it to Tora, how similar is it? is it going along the same lines of Tora or is it any different AT ALL? if not then I'll probably just stick with WA2 this season.

Oh that reminds me, that OVA is pretty useless, just stupid funny shit about cooking.
ya, agree as long as the episodes are funny and well thought out, would love more. Well, there were several times from what I've watched so far where he's almost on the brink of realizing what's going on and we've had Amy constantly tell him to understand and such. Also, during that episode, he was pretty hesitant to leave but Taiga pushed him to go back to the party so I guess that can be taken as a sign that he wanted to spend more time with her. I haven't gotten there yet lol but I figure she'll sacrifice herself for Taiga's happiness. She considers her a dear friend. I think if she hadn't seen what she had during that episode, then the story would've been much more different.
Also, I noticed at least, that once Taiga became more independent, Ryuji was more umm riled up? He doesn't want to be away from her(he was pissed after kitamuru asked where she is) and he was asked by the other girl if he was in love with her and was hesitant but as usual, they didn't give him a chance to answer. I think at that point, he was slowly realizing what she meant to him. I guess to me, it feels like he's 'stuck' on Minori just like Taiga is 'stuck' on kitamuru even though in both cases, they were both denied. He still likes Minori but he has developed strong feelings for Taiga through their daily interactions and unconsciously might want to be with her more than Minori. He needs someone to point it out for him (Amy for ex- cut out the daddy crap lol) and it needs to be direct which is why he feels so oblivious. That and I think in a way, he's a bit oblivious to Taiga's feelings about him so he's oblivious to both his and her feelings XD
I'm not sure but at least I see it that way from what I've watched so far. They still maintained the side characters and showed times where it was hinted that Minori and Kitamuru were interested in Ryuji and Taiga respectively(holding hands or dancing after festival) to try and keep more suspense about the outcome but it's been obvious for a while now that Ryuji always thinks of Taiga even when Amy is standing there and trying to talk him into giving her another chance lol. Btw I'm enjoying this conversation and hoping we can keep discussing for more especially once I finish watching and start cursing at the ending XD

I would suggest you not watching anime and go for live action soaps instead, this really isn't the medium for what you are looking for.

iirc there was a bit of a shitstorm on 2ch and twitter.
and for Toradora? Pretty easy. See the pairing you have at the end? Not that girl. Works for most things out there.
As for golden time, if you can be so invested in Toradora for not Ami then you might be able to watch it. I got bored with the lack of a hook by book 3.
Also, I noticed at least, that once Taiga became more independent, Ryuji was more umm riled up?

I think at that point, he was slowly realizing what she meant to him. I guess to me, it feels like he's 'stuck' on Minori just like Taiga is 'stuck' on kitamuru even though in both cases, they were both denied. He still likes Minori but he has developed strong feelings for Taiga through their daily interactions and unconsciously might want to be with her more than Minori. He needs someone to point it out for him (Amy for ex- cut out the daddy crap lol) and it needs to be direct which is why he feels so oblivious. That and I think in a way, he's a bit oblivious to Taiga's feelings about him so he's oblivious to both his and her feelings XD
That's the whole series basically, the question is just whether you feel like watching them going through the motions of a conclusion that everyone knew was coming. That and how well author manages to keep the reasonable doubt of that not being the case. It is also the template of almost every LN/manga romance type. If you are looking for somewhere where people cheating on their partner is remotely possible, only a small handful of eroge deals with it. Animes pretty much never go down that path.

Akashi-san was best girl in Tatami Galaxy imo
She kind of won.

Also idk why you are making a big deal of secondary characters being pointless, because there are only as many pairings in the end as there are MCs to fill. Stuff like WA simply began with the premise that there is going to be soap drama level of cheating and switching of partners. Most things don't even bother after the pairing is established. Barring certain eroge adaptations like WA, the chances of the former out of the anime/LN field is basically none given the target audience. If that's the kind of stuff that you want, honestly, anime is a medium that will almost never yield you anything.
Oh right, a good rule to remember. Best girl never wins. I know they are not going to make anything more with Toradora, but it doesn't cost anything to dream right?. I just liked her better that is all, that rule definitely applies here. I'm okay with how most anime's of this type end, some I just end up being disappointed by, I liked WA1 and 2 is looking promising, I don't like when both the pairings are set from episode 1 like Tora, something like True Tears is better. I haven't watched Golden time because someone compared it to Tora, how similar is it? is it going along the same lines of Tora or is it any different AT ALL? if not then I'll probably just stick with WA2 this season. I would suggest you not watching anime and go for live action soaps instead, this really isn't the medium for what you are looking for.

You will be lucky if there even exists enough lines for you to remember a secondary character's name because they don't matter at all.

Oh right, a good rule to remember. Best girl never wins. fan raging? umm links or something? Interesting that he's working on golden time, maybe I should watch that XD Who would you say was the best girl in Toradora then? They were each so unique that I'm not sure you can give that title to anyone? iirc there was a bit of a shitstorm on 2ch and twitter. and for Toradora? Pretty easy. See the pairing you have at the end? Not that girl. Works for most things out there. As for golden time, if you can be so invested in Toradora for not Ami then you might be able to watch it. I got bored with the lack of a hook by book 3.
To be honest I don't really like soaps, a friend sent me some japanese drama while back and I didn't like them. Couldn't watch more than 1-2 episodes before not caring for it. The most "soapy" thing that I watch is Grey's anatomy, but that's a totally different thing from what we're talking about. As long as it's similar to True Tears, Kare Kano, WA1, Honey and Clover or AnoHana I'm happy, I just don't like people ending up together just because they have the most time on camera.
