Toradora! - Best Show Ever (until I change my mind)
Some individuals have already decided on the best show of fall* 2008. Now, unlike some people I usually don’t express opinions about shows that I haven’t watched. I’m not making any accusations. It’s just that, contrary to popular belief, 38% of people are actually not entitle to their opinion.
I’m calling it here and now: Toradora! is the best show of 2008, and postemptively of all time. Come on, you absolutely cannot disagree with me on this one. I mean, the name rhymes and, as if that wasn’t enough to tell you this show is new and original, it has a freak’n exclamation point tacked on. Yeah, you read that right, a freak-in-ex-clam-a-tion-point!
! - there, ’cause I like ya’.

Besides, Taiga is probably the cutest character since Zero Louise.
-Errata-
* It was noted that the author of the link attributing a certain show to being “the best of 2008″ was actually declaring it as “the best show of fall 2008.” far away no where offers apologies for any inconvenience or violent beatings on the way home from school this may have caused. This statement does not represent an admission of liability or acknowledgment of good taste in anime.

Rie Kugimiya’s wiki entry notes that she has been “typecasted to tsundere roles.” I thought I was the only one that had noticed…

To me, GA-REI -zero- is the best show this season, or at least the last few minutes of the first episode were. Taiga, although cute and innocent in a sense, is also kind of annoying. I’m just glad they’ve stuck in a character like Ryuuji because even though he’s ugly, I think he’s the real adorable one! But I love it how ToraDora! moves at a quick-ish pace unlike most romance anime.
Once it’s on Wikipedia it’s achieved the status of unquestionable truth.
While cute, your post has some factual errors.
First, the linked post on Miao on My Mind was made regarding this season only, and not the whole year. Second, Toradora! is not the best show of the year much less “ever” (come on, let’s not forget Kannazuki no Miko or Interlude!).
As for Louise… whatever floats your boat, I guess. Just one thing to keep in mind, maybe: if she’s an unreasonable bitch who flies off the handle at the slightest misinterpreted disloyalty, and if that flying off the handle produces humongous explosions of destruction, you better hope that boat is a Nice Boat with only the two of you. Else it won’t float. And if it don’t float, Louise clearly is not nearly as perfect as you make her out to be.
Caution, babes ;)
@blissmo - I haven’t watched GA-REI. I’ll have to move it up on my list. Also, it’s hard not to like Ryuji.
@IKnight - I think you missed the part where I cited an Onion article.
@lolikitsune - Well, I’ll have to do something about that. But, still, it can’t be the best show of fall 2008 when Toradora! is the “best show ever.” …logically, that should be the case, no?
But you’re wrong. Shut up and explode.
And add me to your blogroll, since you want hot hot buttsex with me. Don’t say you don’t; I know the j. stands for j.ason.
Oh, I thought you were already on there. I added you, enjoy the flood of referrals you’ll, no doubt, be receiving.
I’ll take a rain check on the buttsex for the time being.
..Scary.
Edit: Atleast there is now a difference in the two characters Rie plays.
Shana: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!
Taiga: SHUT UP SHUT UP!
> ..Scary.
Don’t worry, lolikit is only dangerous to small children and Jason Miao (of Derailed by Darry).
> Shana: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!…Taiga: SHUT UP SHUT UP!
Most people can’t distinguish the subtle differences in these characters. I commend you.
If you ask me, the best so far this season is Hyakko.
I’ve watched the first episode of Hyakko. It looks fairly entertaining. Of course, the first ep is just an introduction. I’ll have to save my opinion until the story kicks in.
you had me by the balls until you brought up Louise. Toradora best show ever? probably. Louise hot? line crossed.
Oh, I’m sure I can find many other lines to cross…
