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.

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. Except main characters with the most time on camera tends to end together because they spent all that time with them on camera. Karekano is a product of a different age from today, H&C basically the same. WA1 was a thing pretty well before the whole NTR thing became a fad, and even today it is mostly used as a sex fetish rather than an element of story. True Tears was a weird product of PA works mostly pulling things out of their ass from modifying a mediocre source and somehow managed a decent product, something that they have never been able to do again. Anohana was fairly obvious how it was going to be from the start, with what you dread being a possibility if they decide to give no fucks and simply go with Key magic. Basically, what you are looking for is the exception and not the norm. I guess you can keep trying to look for them within this medium, but it will just be a stream of disappointment until you get lucky. On October 28 2013 05:25 Maxie wrote:

Oh right if you liked WA1 anime then KGNE should be right down your alley. Forgot about that because muvluv took all the attention. Well I'm glad to hear that one is a good choice, I'll watch it when I have more time. How is that muvluv? looks very gundam seed-esque. I try to avoid the fantasy/scifi/space/super natural stuff that have romance added to them as an afterthought. Don't bother if you are looking for romance, it is good for an action epic scifi, but the romance is kinda lol.
I was right then lol, I like those as well but they are usually BAD. The last decent one was Code Geass and the first season of Gundam 00, now since gundam is for kiddies and there doesn't seem to be any macross coming idk what to watch in that genre. I tried Valvrave but it looked shit after a couple of episodes, I'm waiting for Capricorn to end because I have terrible memory so I'm doing a marathon once it ends, can't keep up with shit that happened 6 months ago :|.

I hope you mean unicorn. Also you are only listing mecha. I am just going to leave the mecha folks to answer you if they should even bother.

Lmao yeah unicorn, I guess I got distracted while I typed that. Meh I think I can tell which is good and which aren't, I already watched all the old gundam/macross that didn't suck plus some others.

It was the best possible way for them to do it I think. I'm referring to the christmas episode after she convinces Minori to go to the party then goes home and considers that she'll be alone for years to come followed by Ryuji surprising her with the bear suit but she knows its him. The part right after he leaves to the party to meet Minori, where she realizes that she's been relying on him, that if he gets together with Minori, it's game over for her. That she can't be by his side and their relationship will take that turn. God, it was so spot on, so well done and amazing to watch! 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. 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 Yeah seeing Taiga cry like that felt like a big moment, I was pretty sad during that but idk if it was because it was actually sad or because I knew Minori was going to give up Ryuji because of it . That said she cried A LOT after she gave him up so :/ it sucked, but she was a secondary character so who cares, right?. Also, you know just like Kitamura didn't like drop his feelings for the student council president when Taiga finally sort of confessed her feelings, I feel Ryuji should have stayed the course. I mean did you see the box filled with stuff he has for Minori? it's ridiculous, near the end they showed that box again and I was like... what a waste, guess he didn't mean it :/ lol. When I saw Ryuji and Minori holding hands at that race I was like YES, next episode Ryuji should just confess and we'll be done with this :D, then he buys that picture and she sees that but NADA ugh <.<. Very frustrating. I am enjoying it as well lol, more than once I had to retype what I was going to say because I didn't want to outright tell you what happens hahaha. You're pretty dead on about where its headed, I SERIOUSLY didn't think those 2 would end up together, I did not see it I always thought Minori was the goal but then it became painfully obvious haha. Guess it's more obvious to you or you're less biased towards Minori . Honestly, it was the climax of the anime. I was not expecting it at all. I figured that eventually, they'll realize things due to all the prods and such but I never would've thought that I'll see Taiga ball her eyes and run after Ryuji like that and then Minori being there on her way to the party just added to the scene because you knew what was coming. I had no doubt at that point that she'll reject him for Taiga's sake and more certain that they'll end up together. I guess I'm more surprised that Taiga didn't notice Minori standing there and would've liked to see her reaction if that's the case(too dark?). Infact, I feel like they should've shown us that Taiga went back inside and sat on the chair just reminiscing about her interactions with Ryuji and feeling as lonely before he showed up to her place to add on to the scene but that might break the moment and skipping it was probably for the best. I feel that part of that has to do with their age as well. They are supposed to be high school students(17 or so) so they are still young. It's not like they are in their mid 20s and have an idea of who they want. Why does Ryuji like Minori? The anime never explored that well imo. Maybe he saw something when he was a freshman and fell in love with her as a result but I guess I mean that things change. I remember seeing the box earlier and ya, lots of stuff but again, I think age plays a role and how much you interact with someone. His interactions with Taiga far far outweigh his interactions with Minori and to me at least, it's only natural that he'll develop the feelings and would go for her over Minori. Other thing I noticed was that even though he had feelings for Minori, Minori aside from the last bit of the anime never showed any major interest in him. Most of her concern was on wanting him to take care of Taiga and there wasn't much or any moments where it was obvious to me at least, she had feelings for him(before the last bit of the anime). In a way, it almost felt like he was just chasing after someone who 'might' reject him in the end(talk at the cabin didn't really help either lol). If I could watch the anime in 1-2 days, I would've lol but I've had to scale back due to time constraints and such. You've done a good job not revealing much although your last response or two had some tidbits in them XD You know, I agree with what you said about Minori not showing much interest at first. I think that may be because at the beginning everyone was saying how Ryuji and Taiga were a couple etc and Midori was like O.O omg Ryuji you have to treat Taiga nicely blah blah take care of her blah blah and even though they said nothing was going on I think she at that point started to give up a little? I think that affected things quite a bit from her side of things, Midori always liked him but again Taiga is more important to her and the author of the show . I get what you mean about age as well, I could see that, some of that was in Kokoro as well but was more hmm fleshed out? and not just like oh well why did this happen? and then say it was just because they're young. But yeah I guess you could say that was his high school crush and Taiga was the one he developed "proper" feelings of love for not just a crush. I know man, it's tough to watch that shit so fast. I would come home from work at like 8, eat dinner, start watching then watch till like 3am then wake up at 7ish <.< tough. After I finished Tora I slept A LOT, though I was pretty annoyed at how it ended lol, I text-rant to a friend about it and she was like oh god you sound like me when I watched Clannad. Yeah sorry if I'm not always the best at not spoiling shit lol, I REALLY try not to, sometimes it just slips I'll try not to any more in the future.
ya, it's quite possible. Even kitamuru agreed when that scene happened(he was on the roof lol). It's hard not to agree with the characters when they pointed out that they are walking together and that they are likely a couple which spurred other stuff. It does add more fuel as to why Minori might've lost some feelings for him as well but I think it's an assumption in that case tbh since again, we dunno what Minori even thinks of him at that point and she even apologized(I think) and said that Taiga said that she and Ryuji aren't a couple so that would reverse it? Ya, they needed to definitely flush out the age angle. It would've worked well if they went that route and umm discredited his love as being a crush he had on Minori at the time and not true love or something.
ya, it's killing my sleep and it's midterm season ><; I find myself wondering what's going to happen next as I'm studying lol so I'm that interested in how it ends. I'm more disappointed though that it'll end soon and there's no follow up to it. It just feels too short and would've liked another season or two just for the sake of seeing how they would act when they are together and how everyone else sees it etc...
edit: forgot to mention not to worry about the spoiling much. The most things you've possibly spoiled are something to happen in episode 22(if that's the case) and about Minori crying a lot after letting go. Also, thanks for the mention about the OVA. I was thinking of watching it afterwards once I get the time but if it addresses nothing after the ending of Toradora then I might just skip it.

I tried Valvrave but it looked shit after a couple of episodes, I'm waiting for Capricorn to end because I have terrible memory so I'm doing a marathon once it ends, can't keep up with shit that happened 6 months ago :|.
Dude, are you being serious? If you are going to say stuff like that, I'm gonna need to see your credentials.

Ah, thanks. That's the only scary new thing I've seen all year.

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. On October 28 2013 05:05 BigFan wrote:

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. Except main characters with the most time on camera tends to end together because they spent all that time with them on camera. Karekano is a product of a different age from today, H&C basically the same. WA1 was a thing pretty well before the whole NTR thing became a fad, and even today it is mostly used as a sex fetish rather than an element of story. True Tears was a weird product of PA works mostly pulling things out of their ass from modifying a mediocre source and somehow managed a decent product, something that they have never been able to do again. Anohana was fairly obvious how it was going to be from the start, with what you dread being a possibility if they decide to give no fucks and simply go with Key magic. Basically, what you are looking for is the exception and not the norm. I guess you can keep trying to look for them within this medium, but it will just be a stream of disappointment until you get lucky. On October 28 2013 05:25 Maxie wrote:

Well Geass was indeed good, specially the first season and I liked the ending overall. Gundam has changed, first ages or whatever with those kids that came out last year or something and now the pokemon gundam thing they came out with this year... wtf is that. I don't see how there is room there for someone my age to watch gundam in its new direction, makes me miss Wings. Unless there are new mecha anime that have come out recently that were in the same vein as Macross Plus/Zero/Frontier or Gundam 00/Seed/Wings and I missed them, I'm pretty sure of what I said. Unicorn is good but comes out too far apart so I'm waiting for it to end, the geass OAV's are good and Gurren lagann is no more . So if I'm wrong give recommendations.

... Valvrave is fucking fantastic, Majestic Prince was really good.
Please don't talk about Mecha if you think SEED is good.
There's also Unicorn if you want some more MUH MATURE gundam

This Gunpla Builders hate...wtf. How can you hate on those beautifully animated battles and soundtrack?
Also, "Gurren Lagann is no more," that's what klk is for?

Gurren Lagann is only average in retrospect anyways

I think Gurren Lagann is good for people who aren't in to mecha and don't watch shows to see cooler mecha. Which is probably why I thought it was really good.

@Shaella
I watched the first 2 Valvrave episodes and it looked awful, vampires and mecha? wtf is that, leave your twilight out of my mecha animes pls. Maybe I'm wrong and it's AMAZING but it looked bad to me, what can I say?. I didn't say Seed was the mecha every mecha should aspire to be, but it was good enough before they ruined it with Destiny. So there's that. It's not about having "mature" stuff, if I wanted "mature" content I wouldn't watch 99% of animes. Just don't see the fun in watching a bunch of little kids playing pokemon with them. I mentioned Unicorn in a previous post, so I'm watching that.
@Kaze
So because it looks good I should just like it? well it seems like someone only needs good graphics to like something. I read the "plot" of that show and I knew right away it wasn't for me, I'm 27, I don't find this pokemon/yugiho bs fun or appealing. KlK is not mecha, while yes it is very awesome and I love it, it is not mecha so it doesn't belong in this conversation.

Pretty much exactly what Gurren Lagann is good at.
Its a great entry level show. Like, there's nothing wrong with Gurren Lagann, its solid. Good intro to Mecha, especially since its basically built wholesale out of the super robot shows.

>All vampires are twilight
Can you please stop being this awful? You're like actively being awful.
I suppose Hellsing Ultimate is twilight too guys. Its about Vampires!
Valvrave is excellent, its basically a gundam AU anyways. Especially if you're all MAH MATURITY

Recommendations:
Majestic Prince was great. Shin Mazinger was amazing. Gargantia was... okay. Rinne no Lagrange was okay. Break Blade was great. SRW OGIN was great if you are a SRW fan.
Also, Gundam has been a toy commerial aimed at "kiddies" ever since it was created. How old you are has nothing to do with being able to enjoy something or not. Build Fighters is great, wtf@calling it "pokemon gundam thing", its like you didn't even give it a chance. The anime has been very well received in this very thread, and I can assure you the average age of people in this thread isn't "kiddie". I'm 27 too, and have no problem with it, so IMO you should get over your own age.
