Thats all for the introduction of the main characters.

Plot (you know you’ve been waiting for this)
It all starts with one one beautiful day and SPOILER and SPOILER.

I told you I’m not giving out spoilers.

Storyline (I’ll just copy paste)

Despite Ryuuji Takasu’s gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent so he is utterly hopeless about his chances of getting a girlfriend anytime soon, and does not have many close friends either. After being greeted by his hungover mother in the morning, Ryuuji goes to school and is happy to find that he gets to be in the same class as his best friend Yūsaku Kitamura and crush Minori Kushieda. However, it is then that he unexpectedly knocks into “the school’s most dangerous animal of the highest risk level” — Taiga Aisaka — who just happens to also be in his class, and is a good friend of Minori.

Review of Toradora.
Realistic(thats what ican say) and it brings out an inner side of you. Don’t go laughing at me you know its true ;D
Basically, I love this anime due to the fact that it does not go the same with the standard Tsundere shana-standard-plot
it is more unique than most Tsundere anime and is also realistic.Sidenote: I like Rie kugimiya’s voice (tsundere queen)
Also Toradora is well drawn and has many interesting characters unlike some I must save the world anime
The characters are also more Realistic unlike some predictable anime characters.
Be prepared for some twist if u watch this anime.
Finally this anime also has some nice endings and openings.

Plot: 9/10
Sound:8/10
Quality:9/10
Enjoyment :9/10
Overall:9/10
Plot loses 1 point because of the fact that, when compared to some other anime, this anime’s plot still have some places to be improved on for example SPOILER.Scold me if you want, I’m not giving out spoilers,I can tell you if u ask me personally tho.
Sound is above average i guess, the opening and ending are nice but dosen’t make me repeating it again and again like shana’s op or higurashi’s op
Quality is good.But 1 point off for the terrian fail drawing in 1 of the episodes.
Enjoyment is nice but in 1 episode, theres the feeling of making me not wanting to watch the next one cause it would be very painful to watch. >.> 1 point off for that

Overall: Worth your time, Nice anime. 1 of the best out there
P.S I rate anime very strictly against its theme. I don’t rate Toradora against Code Geass or something.
