Toradora! - 10

Great episode. The comedy went down, but it was okay because it’s one of those episodes that had awesome dialogue where you have to read between the lines to really understand what the hell is going on. What’s nice is that it was so simple but it made me love the characters so much more (and at the same time, I’m hoping I got my interpretation correct). Anyway, Ami is becoming more… desperate, kind of. Even Ryuuji himself pointed out that it wouldn’t be him who would be lonely if he left, but Ami. I feel kind of sorry for her at this point because she seems so into Ryuuji, but she also figured out by herself that he liked Minori. I also liked her line, “You’re the moon and she’s the sun, she’ll only burn you out. You need to find someone more like you.”

Anyway, it turns out that Minori actually likes scary things - and last episode, she disguised loved as ghosts. Turns out that from everything she’s said so far, she wants to see a ‘ghost’ really badly, but it just hasn’t appeared to her yet. What interests me so much about her character is that she can see right through Ryuuji and she wants to know why he wanted to make her upset (by showing her ghosts when he though she hated it) because it was unlike him. She said that there was a reason behind it, and she wanted to know - but of course, he was never able to answer that question.
Another thing that made me really confused was that ‘look’ Taiga gives Ryuuji by the end of the episode. She looks upset, but by what? Is she jealous that he’s getting closer to Minori… because she doesn’t want Minori taken away, or because she likes Ryuuji? Soo confusing. I absolutely love the character development of this show.
