It’s obvious Minorin’s just looking out for Taiga. You know, I like Ryuuji, but he’s such a dense bastard sometimes. He’s trying to make everyone happy, and he doesn’t realize how much it hurts the people he’s closest to when the balls hit the wall and he has to play favorites.

I know Minorin had a thing for Ryuuji, or at least became interested in him, but put a lid on it for Taiga’s sake. I’m wondering what will become of Ami, I know it won’t just end as is for her, but I can pretty much guarantee she and Ryuuji won’t be together.

Maybe it’ll be one of those new anime endings, the ones that rebel against fairy tales, and no one ends up with anyone else? Ah the intrigue has me hooked.

I’m glad Yusaku is being himself, he’d be such a boring character if he didn’t pull crap like his costume.

I have a new level of respect for Minorin. I felt bad for her but I felt worse for Taiga. I still hope for that Taiga x Ryuji ending.

I am in love with Yusaku’s exhibitionism and welcome more of it. It definitely shows his personality outside the ‘top student’/’student council pres’ cover. But, yes, the lack of expressions in the Taiga/Ami duet was creepy. Maybe the animators thought the girl group similarity called for it.

I want Taiga and Ryuji to end up together, but I wonder if it’ll happen with Ami, Ami’s crony & Yusaku still in the mix -

minorin has been acting like taiga’s mom and ryuuji like lker her father especially when both tried to prtect her and taiga is the child.Taiga has realized she loves ryujji not as her dad but summin more.While ami realizes ryujji is playing a role that he hasnt realized is wrong yet thats why ami is upset cause he hasnt realized yet

I found the transition from the emotional scene of Taiga’s realization to the scene of Ryuji’s rejection a bit jarring. We went from teary-eyed powerfully emotive scene to one that could have been equally powerful but instead they went a goofy route. Ryuji’s reaction was just so ridiculous that I found it funny and then the cheery christmas song as he gets rejected starting in the background just seemed like it was making fun of Ryuji’s predicament.

I don’t know if I liked that but one reason could possibly be that ending it in such a way seems to be a final decision and Minori won’t be “troubled” in later arcs. The sort of absurdity was a direct contrast to Ryuji and Minori’s normal conversations that happen to have so much metaphor and impact wrapped up in them. Instead in this conversation Minori subverted the metaphor and the scene instead of coming off impactful came off rather silly.

I’m one of those tsundere/loli supporters. So, I hope there is a ‘happy’ ending even if she doesn’t end up with Ryuuji or anybody. The ending song was very fitting and I wish every character the best possible outcome.

I know why they look funny while singing and stuff! They are wearing lip stick! Lip stick doesn’t look good on young girls! Well to me at least. Especially a little loli. Unless its a young loli who is experimenting with make up and ends up looking silly then its cute.
