Sorry I guess "Over Ranting" made sense in my head only, remember when I said it was troublesome to reply to so many posts and not with such long replies and you said you had a way to do it easier and all of that? how is it you do that again? You had some suggestions to help us with our particular problem lol. Yeah these jerks in TL don't let us have conversations with over 100000 characters, the terrorists DID win if that's what the world has come to . Your sig sucks BOOOOOOO remove it, should say Ami and Minori forever <3, silly Taiga. You totally picked the unpopular group, how hipster of you .

Lol you typed Ino and I was like who the fuck is Ino, does he mean Inko? I think that's what you mean lol. I never really thought of that when I saw that, when she left I was like WHOA WTF TAIGA WHERE YOU GOING!? :O!. Also Ryuji's face afterwards when he was being interrogated didn't really showed he knew much about Taiga's plans or why she did what she did. I think maybe he knew? and yeah mostly that her mom was there waiting for him, I remember thinking that as well but maybe he thought that as well that she might leave. I mean she did have her clothes with her but she might have wanted to have a chat with her mom, maybe he texted her but we don't really see that do we? I don't think he did, I think after the note he just left her alone and waited for her to contact him, I think that note was a pretty clear "Let me do this thing for a while I'll contact you later" type of thing.

Yeah that's pretty much the problem the final episodes felt rushed so it was a turn off for me, some episodes felt slow before so maybe some cutting and fixing those around could have given us a better explained story that didn't feel cut short (specially the end WHICH I THINK IT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT AARRRRGHHHH) I'm a pirate tonight apparently .
That's one of the things that bothered me the most, after a while it was obvious that it was a Taiga only show haha and Ryuji would end up with her, so regardless of where my heart was it doesn't bother me too much to dislike the show just a bit annoyed the BEST girl didn't win ;(. Like I said Ova pretty useless, watch only if you have nothing better to do and time to fuck around, which you shouldn't because you should be watching White Album 2 *wink wink*.

I know they didn't elope or get married in vegas etc etc lol but it just felt SO stupid like, yeah I get Taiga's mom was breathing down her neck and what not but it made them look like stupidly stupid children. And they took my beloved Minori's money D: jerks, I hope they returned it since they didn't go anywhere and didn't need to live in some shitty motel for 2 months . At that moment I didn't see it as them trying to do something last minute to save their relationship, but as the writers being stupid and trying to escalate their relationship FAR too quickly, I mean not even a fucking kiss. You have to test drive the car first, come on you just don't do that unless you're a dumb teenager who doesn't know any better lol. That's the "taste" it left for me, I see your point and yes very valid, last minute effort dumb one but whatever it's fine.

That type of scenes were the type that pissed me off, just shows more of poor Taiga being all in love with Ryuji without really thinking or knowing it and then everyone feels "bad" and like their relationship is stupidly strong because they are most likely in love with each other. So, everyone backs off and now one else gets pork cutlets since Taiga is hogging them all , or anything from Ryuji lol. To a point I think Taiga is rather selfish lol, she your man taiga don't be a jerk at least with Minori <3 joking of course. But seriously sigh, it just made it seem like the secondary characters got the hint and would back off since she's obviously crazy about him whether or not she realized it at that point lol. Regardless of her seeing him as a friend at that point or whatever I think what she did was out of love but she didn't "know".

I didn't read anything beforehand except like the summary of the story in ANN which gives away nothing, so as far as I was concerned the GODS OF ANIME would grace me with an Ami and Ryuji ending but that didn't happen sigh. Like I said before I think she's just the type that doesn't want to seem weak, doesn't want to seem "girly", and doesn't talk about things she thinks would make people think that, specially since she was super jealous of her brother for being a baseball player which she couldn't do and looking weak wasn't going to help her in her mind. So you know she had this conversation about ghosts and shit in her mind to shield herself from feeling weak or even looking weak with people she might have this conversation with, so while that wasn't OBVIOUS it was a hint that she liked Ryuji. But outside of that you are right there wasn't really any hint from her, any advances or anything close to that that might make us think she's in love with Ryuji which I HATED, because no one else BUT Taiga really did anything Ryuji would see as a CLEAR signal. Yeah sure Ami pretty much spell it out but Ryuji is so dumb he didn't even noticed, or Ami would say it under her breath and pretend she didn't say it afterwards.

Fuck I've been writing this for like 30 minutes now I have to go to the bathroom <.< lol.

Continuation . To be honest like we said before when you watch too many in a row they all blur together so you don't remember them unless something ridiculously serious or changing happens, and those were the ones I can remember where shit happened that mattered compared to the other episodes. So yeah those were the highlights for me, a lot of very important stuff happened those episodes. Just wished MORE happened, you know? the scene with Minori was one of the few meaningful things that happened with her so I liked that scene. Oh you know one scene I LOVED was at the beach when Taiga went to the bathroom while Ami was in the shower then she slowly came back and said BOOM BOOM like that girl has it all in the right places :O. Then Ami came and threw her flip flop at her haha, that scene was really good. I really liked Inko, every time it showed up it caused me to laugh, someone would comment how ugly it was, or it was about to choke and die again lol or it would try to say its name and get it totally wrong so yeah one of my favourite characters haha. That whole thing with Taiga's dad was just super sad, but I get why Ryuji would push her you know? he didn't really have a father, so he doesn't know what it's like to have one and wished he did so he pushed Taiga to fix her relationship with hers since she DID have one. It looked like she did it very reluctantly and kind of only to please Ryuji while kind of hoping her dad stopped being a dick.

I mentioned how fail the rescue people were because it seemed that since the group was inside, the rescue people were outside looking and had been doing so for a while. So when Ryuji went out and found her that quickly I was a bit annoyed, it all seemed like plot convenience lol. Also was kind of to see Minori wearing the hair clip thingy in front of Ryuji, sure she didn't know but it was sad to know what we knew and Ryuji's reaction. What I hope for the future is that Kitamaru gets together with Kanou? that girl, when he goes to the states and all that, he was such a nice guy and it's like come on give Kitamaru a girl already, he was the show's loneliest guy even while being surrounded by girls (that he didn't really care for lol).

I think it wouldn't hurt to watch it again so we can discuss anything we might have missed or any realizations we have after a second viewing, whether we do 1 at a time or several it's fine. I suggested one so we don't blur the episodes together and so we don't miss anything lol, I'm not watching it 3 times lol. Let me know when you can get on that and it's fine, we'll see what we can do.

I was just saying to open 2 browsers then you can just have the rant open on one, reply on the other. Read the paragraph, tab to reply, answer it then go back. Works like a charm and it's much easier than scrolling and such. lol. 100000 characters is way too little XD My sig is the best and you know it. Infact, I just had confirmation from another TL poster here that they also liked Taiga, beat that! :D I picked what I loved, Taiga > all :D You know what? Let's have some fun and make a poll tommorrow to see who TL votes for. Won't change my mind on who I loved the most but would see what the TL anime group thinks

Yes, Inko lol or maybe there is a secret character called Ino You mean he didn't know for this part: I think maybe he knew? Guessing a typo? hmm, thinking about his expression, seemed like one of having an idea since they did tell him to tell them and he only did after the announcement and him leaving the class with them chasing after him. The more I think about it though, the more I think he didn't know. I thought he might have since he mentioned her parents but I also forgot that she called her mom when she opened her apt so it was possible that he was talking about her mom waiting for her in the apt. I mean, if he thought otherwise, he would've at least gave her a hug, a kiss, something to say goodbye? The line she said was heart wrenching: "I'll stay true to myself and love Ryuji" or that's what I recall

Ya, it's possible the note just said something like I love you, I need to do this but will get in touch or something. We need someone to translate it for us! I would really like to know exactly what it said. Could make for some further discussion on why he didn't bring her back. Here's the thing: if that's all the note said, then he must've guessed it was to go see her mom since the note didn't specify. I guess her dad losing his business and running away meant her mom was likely the only person she could go see, so good guess. Ya, I'm thinking maybe he didn't text her after all since he was surprised when she texted him some days(or weeks) after: "you didn't say you love me" followed by "stupid" lol. Funny part, wish she texted more or that we saw more funny texts/funny calls before she showed up at his graduation to surprise him since that was the second part of the anime that I fell in love with(doesn't help that Taiga is cute, Minori/Ami aren't bad either and music is superb).

Royalists? Aww yiss. I guess we are going more into dorsian territory. Did they forget Saki girl though? She's still stuck with that whatever Adrei soldier -_-

I'm still wondering how vampires die in this serie ; that's assuming Marie isn't dead... but we don't know :S
