THAT Animeblog

A bit of random trivia, Spaceballs was the first movie I ever saw

I’ll say it right up front, this Kitamura bitch angst arc fucking sucks. I hated it in the novels and I hate it now in the anime. Sometimes it’s really obvious that a woman wrote the source material. Anyways, I’ll flame on a bit here and make fun of he who lacks stones.

After a week off Toradora is back! All around a pretty good episode with some comedy but mostly a large amount of character development as we do a post-op on the culture festival. I’m a day or two late…but who cares right? I had to get this entry in before the football playoff games that start later this afternoon!

I also feel quite perturbed

Merry Day After Christmas, Happy Boxing Day, etc. I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays, I certainly have been. It’s nice to have the time off to relax, play some games, watch a bit of anime. And regarding anime, let’s talk about the last two episodes of Toradora.

Something is somewhat off here

Hohoho, four finals down, one to go ladies and gentlemen. But before that we have this week’s episode of Toradora. I’d sure like to see Ami in a maid outfit, that’s for damn sure. At least we get to find out who that weird looking guy was from last week’s episode preview.

Boing

Well, since I was busy as of late and Crusader’s post was a pretty comprehensive Ami love entry on episodes 8 and 9, let’s just skip to episode 10 shall we? Another solidly entertaining episode with a handful of facepalming laughs at Kitamura’s expense, coupled with plenty of fanservice since it’s a beach episode. Plus Ami, lots of Ami.

More importantly what is she thinking about?

I never did expect to like Toradora! much, still while I have mild levels of love for Taiga toradorable though she maybe (as she is loli enough to reside three miles past the point of uncomfortable and has yet to use her wealth to provide Takasu with decent ingredients) I did find myself liking Ami more and more as the episodes go by. I like her not only because she looks more developed biologically than Taiga but also because she is so deliciously insincere that it is hard to read her character and her motives. While there have been many who have wondered if Ami-tan ever did take off her mask I do suppose she has, instead of pretending to be an air head the whole time, shown much more of her mischievous self and insincere tone to those around her. Perhaps the Ami we see now is the real Ami, a person with a unique gift for obfuscation. If nothing else Ami has no problem using a ball with lethal force against Yusaku.
