Haruhi mastered., 23 May 2009

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

"Since ancient times, it has been decided that only dragons are worthy of standing next to tigers." The relationship between the two main character is almost identical to "Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi". Aisaka Taiga (AKA "Tiny Tiger") basically abuses and bosses around Takasu Ryuuji ("Ryuu" is dragon). And just as Haruhi series, she eventually falls for the guy.

I really enjoyed the Haruhi series, but this series was even better. The characters were very interesting and developed extremely well. Even the supporting characters had great depth.

I've always found it difficult to cry in anime compared to live-action because let's face it, they're just drawings. But I really connected with the main characters in this series and the scenarios really touched me. This is probably the first TV anime series where I actually cried.

Unlike the pure conclusion-per-episode format of Haruhi series, "Toradora!" had somewhat more continuity between episodes and therefore characters developed much better. Music was exceptionally well-made and touching, and although the quality of animation was average, the character design was really well done and memorable.

Although "Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi" was more of a fantasy and "Toradora!" being coming-of-age school romance, I thought they were very similar and "Toradora!" was superior in every way. The previous reviewer says this is "The greatest anime i have ever seen", it is for me as well, and I have enjoyed every moment of it. Highly recommended.
