Toradora! (2008–2009)
7/10
Good, but predictable

I'm embarrassed to admit that I watched the entire series in less than 24 hours, so I did enjoy it very much. I might be in the minority here, but I was actually hoping that the main characters would end up with different people. They definitely loved each other, but it always felt more like a brotherly/sisterly kind of love. Plus, Taiga was too mean and ungrateful to Ryuuji. She never apologized for yelling at him or hitting him or thanked him for cooking all of her meals, cleaning her apartment, doing her laundry, and all of the other thoughtful things he did for her. He was just way too nice to her and I wish he would have stood up to her crap more. Even so, I don't mind that they ended up together because I knew it would happen from the moment they bumped into each other in the hall in the first five minutes of the first episode, but it was still a little weird to me when they finally did. It would have been very interesting if they had done something a little different and surprised everyone.

I would have liked to see a little bit more of the fate of the other students and a more satisfying ending, but overall, I enjoyed it.

There was a lot of "fan service" in this (giant boobs, cleavage, almost naked buff guys, etc.), which is was unnecessary and distracting.

Overall, worth the watch. It's light hearted and fun.
