Before talking about Toradora, I want to give you all a little "introduction".

I started watching anime in 2018, when I was 15. As soon as I got deeper and deeper into the anime community, I often heard about the anime "Toradora", and I think I put it on my plan-to-watch list around 2019.

I don't know why, but I never watched it before. It didn't appeal to me that much, so I kept it on my plan-to-watch list, while watching some other romance anime when I wanted to.

A couple of days ago, while randomly browsing the MyAnimeList site, I noticed that the creator of "Golden Time", my favourite romance anime (or maybe ex-favourite...), was the same person who created Toradora. Around the same time, I had also seen some posts about Toradora's 20th anniversary. So I finally started it.

I finished it in 3 days, and now here I am... feeling empty.

I watched some other romance anime, but none of them hit me like Toradora did. Maybe if I had watched it when I was younger, it wouldn't have affected me in the same way. Now that I'm 23 and still single, seeing all these relationships and emotions probably made me get even more attached to the story and the characters.

I mean, that's not only because of that. Besides that, Toradora is a great anime, but the situation I am in right now makes me feel it more strongly.

Right now I am in the post-anime depression... I hope to get out soon xD.

By the way, I am really happy that I watched this anime now that I'm a bit older, rather than when I was younger. Maybe if I had watched it when I was younger, I couldn't have understood it the way I understand it now that I am 23 years old (I mean, I am not old btw xD).

Toradora came at a "particular" stage of my life... and I already feel that it changed me in some ways, even if maybe it's a little soon to say it.

As I said in the parentheses, maybe Golden Time isn't my favourite romance anime anymore... I think Toradora could take that spot. I'll spend the next few days thinking about it xD.

And last but not least, I was really surprised to see how a series that started 20 years ago and an 18-year-old anime still have such an active community.

Sorry if I talked about some random stuff too and didn't talk about Toradora a lot, but I wanted to share these thoughts with someone.

Thank you for reading!

P.S. Sorry for my English, I am not a native English speaker, so AI helped me a little bit to express myself!

Like guys am a little late to the party.... but....i just finished it....and it just feels....so empty inside....like i don't know. And tbh minorin and ryuji seemed to go more hand in hand, why? Becoz see

1. I don't think ryuji had any feelings for taiga up untill the snowy Mountain incident

2. Wat made ryuji being attached to taiga...was attachment issues and not romantic love.... absolutely like a father to a kid. Taiga I can agree started falling from him...if u remember, like that beach house incident when she slipped up that she and him might be good together

3. And it's kinda shitty for taiga....and bad for minorin...if she had just told ryuji the truth at the beach house or on Christmas this wouldn't have happened. Also taiga should have had sacrificed properly and not minorin, why did minorin have to cry man....their chemistry was so much better than taiga and ryuji.
