Anime Watch: Toradora! ~ A Sweet Anime

Another cute little anime to watch is Toradora! This anime follows a young boy named Ryūji Takasu who has just started his second year of high school. He shares the same class as his best friend a.k.a. Yūsaku Kitamura, his crush a.k.a. Minori Kushieda, and the school's most dangerous animal of the highest risk level —Taiga Aisaka. Taiga also happens to be Minori's best friend.

After an unpleasant start, the 2 realised that they both have crush on each other's best friend and so they venture on their own plans to help each other in getting their love. Lots of hilarious situations ensued between all the students.

A recent episode on celebrating christmas revealed that Taiga has already fallen for Ryuji but she continues to help him out in getting Minori to be his girlfriend. In that episode, there was a collaberation between Taiga and her enemy, Ami Kawashima, although it was more of a petite girls' fight. See below for the video of their collaberation.





The title for the insert song is Holy Night and is sung by the seiyuu actors for Taiga and Ami. I feel that this is a very nice song and suits the mood for the episode very well. I was touched when I saw how Taiga desperately tried to chase after Ryuji but was too late.

Hopefully Ryuji will get his act together and acknowledge Taiga's love as the current episode has revealed that he knows about Taiga's love for him. He is still hankering after that Minori, who had already rejected him on christmas eve as she knew of her best friend's love for him.

There are 3 more episodes to go and so I shall be keeping a lookout on the story plot.
