TORADORA reactions are finally coming to youtube!! we are ahead on patreon with early access and timer reactions (uploading EPISODE 17 today!!) so check it out if you want! twitch.tv/alanamisako
Just FYI, the title pretty much gives it away, "Tora" is Japanese for "tiger", and "dora" is short for the borrowed word "doragon" for "dragon", and the "Ryu" in "Ryuji" is the kanji for "dragon". Also, the little birds are a motif.
YESSSS! This show came into my life at a very pivotal time and left an indelible impression on me - it’s not a stretch for me to say it’s arguably my fave Romance Anime of all time, and I’m SO glad you get to experience it too!!!
Oh man, this is my all time favorite romcom, an absolute masterpiece and gold standard for romcom anime. This show has lodged itself so deep into my soul. So happy I can revisit this show through your reactions.
Taiga is the quintessential Tsundere of Anime, and i know that a lot of people doesnt like that tipe of character, but whats great about this Toradora is that all the characters grow, and we get to understand why they are how they are, but beyond that the relationships they stablishe make the better persons and deal with a lot of the trauma from their past. this its an incredible anime which still hold up after 15 years and i can say is even better that others resent romances
Taiga is indeed considered a quintessential tsundere, which is funny considering she's not a tsundere at all. She's not hiding a crush on Ryuuji by being mean to him, she just has a general anger issue, towards everyone. Towards her actual crush, Kitamura, and later Ryuuji, she's actually very nice and considerate.
Not a fan of romance... and can't get myself into anime as much as I would like. Tried the popular ones like Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online... couldn't keep watching. Toradora has both... and I still ended up loving it. They definitely did something right if it managed to make me love it the way I did 😊
Toradora is one of, if not the, GOAT rom-com anime. And fun fact: several of the English dub VAs in the show would later go on to provide the English voices for some of the characters in Persona 5 (Morgana, Ann, Ryuji, Caroline/Justine, and some others I probably forgot).
One of my fave romcom. I found this series back when it was a manga but only 10 chapters were translated back then so i ended up reading the light novel instead. Then a couple of years later this anime came out and i was really happy. The anime follows the light novel very closely which i like. Alot of anime adoptation from novels suck so this is one of those few that really did well. And the songs are very good too.
@@lukeferguson3405 did you not read or understand what i said? i literally said i read the light novel. believe it or not youre not the only one who knows light novels exist.
@@jehjehjeh8097 Sorry, I think my reading comprehension skills are starting to fade me. I read and understood that you tried all three, but somehow missed the part where you said 'the anime follows the light novel' closely.' I took you reading the manga first and mistaking that for the source material. Oops. o_O
ahhhh Alana so pleased you're watching this! Toradora is one anime I watch every year without fail, usually around Christmas (idk why haha). I really hope you enjoy it, and fall in love with the characters ❤Taiga is one of my favourite anime girlies everrrr 🐯
I love that you're starting this series Alana, this is one of those series that I really connected with at the time I watched it, and I can't wait to see what you think.
so happy you're reacting to this!! this anime really hits me with strong nostlagia because I grew up watching this but never understood a thing about the story back then 😅 I just laughed at the comedy parts because they're so goofy and insane 😂 anyways, looking forward to seeing you catch up to "the episode" :^)
Great reaction - this show is a classic. I don't normally 'do' romcoms but this is one of my fav animes. Some may tell you there's filler episodes, but I would say there's great character development and a wonderful story.
So nostalgic... watched it weekly back when I was in high school. The character's relationship progression is pretty good. Recent romcom anime I would recommend "The dangers in my heart", it is an adorable anime.
Ahhh toradora my first rom com anime I watched your in for a good one Alana this is my favorite romcom anime all time I sometimes wish I could erase toradora out my head and start it all over
Thing about his mother is she's taking care of him by herself and is working nights to be there for him during the day. And Taiga is softy with a super hard exterior
Im 29 years old and I watrched this show at the peak of my anime activity at 17. I don't watch a lot of romcoms or romance anime but this was always one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy the show!
Rie Kugimiya was the perfect choice for voice Taiga. She can perform a Tsundere character so well. Another great examples are Louise from "Zero No Tsukaima" or Shana form "Shakugan No Shana". One of my favorite Romantic stories alongside "Golden Time".
A fun fact for you since you played persona 5, the dub for Taiga is voiced by the same actress that voiced Morgana in persona. Which is funny since the main boy here is called Ryuuji.
One of the first romcoms I ever watched in my early teens, I love this show. Absolute classic the time's when i'd search up top "insert" anime on youtube lol
I just watched this series last month over the course of Memorial Day weekend. I didn't realize how 'old' the anime was until I noticed the flip phones. Still, the animation (and story) hold up well. What a ride.
The sequence where Ryuuji's parrot, Inko-chan spoke out 'Impotent!' kind of reminded me of a quite similar sequence of scenes I watched in Nisekoi Season 2, where the protagonist of the show, Ichijou Raku was taunted by the pet parrot (Which was named Raku-sama) of Tachibana Marika, one of the female characters of that series. Both of them were absolutely hilarious...😂
Love this show. Even got the special BD set xD Also one year at a convention, I won a raffle to get a shikishi drawing done from Zekkyo, the artist for the Toradora Manga 😄
I love that you picking up Classics such as Oregairu adn Toradora, these are part of my childhood well i'm only 19 now but still these are when i was like 13 lol
To be fair this my first Anime that led down the Rom Com rabbit hole… This being on high regard because it was the first Rom Com, and my favorites being Sakurasou and Nisekoi
Finally! This is arguably one of the best romcom animes in the last 20 years. I'm glad you started this journey and I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to the rest of the series.
Oh prepare for PTDS ( post toradora depression syndrome) it's a weird phenomenon that most of those who finish this show experience. I did have it and it didn't left me until my 7th rewatch of the series. Goodluck.
TORADORA reactions are finally coming to youtube!!

Please consider classroom of the elite
Seems like you don't know but Attack on titan teaser was dropped yesterday
Just FYI, the title pretty much gives it away, "Tora" is Japanese for "tiger", and "dora" is short for the borrowed word "doragon" for "dragon", and the "Ryu" in "Ryuji" is the kanji for "dragon". Also, the little birds are a motif.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think you meant to send the Patreon link instead of Twitch LOL
This show is such a classic, I'm so excited to relive it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I remember enjoying it!
YESSSS! This show came into my life at a very pivotal time and left an indelible impression on me - it’s not a stretch for me to say it’s arguably my fave Romance Anime of all time, and I’m SO glad you get to experience it too!!!
I have a feeling you're going to absolutely love Toradora. This is one that will stay with you, years after you watch it.
Oh man, this is my all time favorite romcom, an absolute masterpiece and gold standard for romcom anime. This show has lodged itself so deep into my soul.
So happy I can revisit this show through your reactions.
God this is a childhood classic for me. Toradora, Ouran and Maid-sama were the romcom classics!
Taiga is the quintessential Tsundere of Anime, and i know that a lot of people doesnt like that tipe of character, but whats great about this Toradora is that all the characters grow, and we get to understand why they are how they are, but beyond that the relationships they stablishe make the better persons and deal with a lot of the trauma from their past. this its an incredible anime which still hold up after 15 years and i can say is even better that others resent romances
Kugimiya Rie has the best “Baka!” In the business

Trivia.
Taiga's seiyuu is Rie Kugimiya which is the same voice actress who voiced Alphonse Elric.
Yes!!! This is my second favorite rom com after Kaguya-sama. You’re in for a treat!
D frag is better in my opinion.
Omg wow. Toradora is one of my favorite anime of all time. I'm so excited for this series!
Toradora is one of, if not the, GOAT rom-com anime. And fun fact: several of the English dub VAs in the show would later go on to provide the English voices for some of the characters in Persona 5 (Morgana, Ann, Ryuji, Caroline/Justine, and some others I probably forgot).
Taiga actress is the fun Fie from the legend of heroes trails of cold steel (best girl but her main act is on hte 4th game)
OMG I can't believe you are watching Toradora!! I'm soo happy and so excited for this!! Hope you enjoy this anime as much as I do❤
I'm so glad you're watching this! One of my favorites that stuck with me for a looong time ever since I've finished.

Believe it or not, the Manga itself is an adaptation. The LN came first.

ohh, someone has really good taste i see! 😍 looking forward to this journey
Never thought I'd live long enough to see Toradora be considered a classic.
God, I feel old.
I recommended CLANNAD to a teen, he said he doesn't watch old animes...
@@MrDodoninoI wonder what he thinks of death note
Don't feel old I'm 19 and Toradora was my first romcom anime.
7:00 Ryuuji's an obsessive-compulsive. He HAD to clean that mold. He HAD to re-set up all of those desks.
I am super excited you are watching this, just finished it myself!
It has been like 12-13 years since I watched this. I'm happy that you're reacting to it
its been so long since i last watched toradora. I'm glad i can watch this again with you.
Oh hell yeah! 🎉
Great reaction - this show is a classic. I don't normally 'do' romcoms but this is one of my fav animes. Some may tell you there's filler episodes, but I would say there's great character development and a wonderful story.
It'll be an interesting journey. I'll be waiting for the tears at the end. This show is just that incredible.
So nostalgic... watched it weekly back when I was in high school. The character's relationship progression is pretty good.
Recent romcom anime I would recommend "The dangers in my heart", it is an adorable anime.

One of my favorite Romantic stories alongside "Golden Time".
So happy your watching this!
OH FUCK YES YES YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Man.... This anime reminds me of my early college days, when i first got into anime. This is my very first romcom anime, iirc.
It took me some chapters to get hooked to this anime cuz the girls have such weird personalities 😂😂 but then I couldn't stop watching 😮
Toradora is probably one of my most re-watched shows ever.
I just finished it and realized this show is ALMOST AS OLD AS ME. Why are all the old anime so good 😭😭😭
A fun fact for you since you played persona 5, the dub for Taiga is voiced by the same actress that voiced Morgana in persona. Which is funny since the main boy here is called Ryuuji.
Arguably the best rom-com anime ever
Hi, I have no clue who you are, this is my first video I've seen of you but I love watching people watch my favorite anime
One of the first romcoms I ever watched in my early teens, I love this show. Absolute classic
the time's when i'd search up top "insert" anime on youtube lol
11:47

new viewer here, off to a good start... time to binge and eat lots
OMG be ready for the BEST Christmas episode EVER
I just watched this series last month over the course of Memorial Day weekend. I didn't realize how 'old' the anime was until I noticed the flip phones. Still, the animation (and story) hold up well. What a ride.
OMGGG I DIDNT EXPECT U TO PICK UP ONE OF THE OG GREATS THANK YOU
I haven't watch Toradra in a very long time. I don't know how well the show have age, but all I remember is that I love the show.
The sequence where Ryuuji's parrot, Inko-chan spoke out 'Impotent!' kind of reminded me of a quite similar sequence of scenes I watched in Nisekoi Season 2, where the protagonist of the show, Ichijou Raku was taunted by the pet parrot (Which was named Raku-sama) of Tachibana Marika, one of the female characters of that series. Both of them were absolutely hilarious...😂
Love this show. Even got the special BD set xD
Also one year at a convention, I won a raffle to get a shikishi drawing done from Zekkyo, the artist for the Toradora Manga 😄
I love that you picking up Classics such as Oregairu adn Toradora, these are part of my childhood well i'm only 19 now but still these are when i was like 13 lol
Introduction to the top 3 tsundere queen! Her character and her VA!
This is one of my favorite shows too and Taiga is one of my favorite MCs. Hope you enjoy it.
I'm excited for this! Hardly anyone reated to this show but it gets SO good later on :D
YESSSSHHH one of my favourite if not my favourite romcom of all time.

This is my favorite romcom anime ever
Wow Toradora, excellent. thx for sharing your reaction here.
Didn't know you would watch this 🙂 One of my first romcom animes. Not really my top favorite but it's still a memorable and emotional experience
Idk why but the anime trope of "sweet guy with hard face" always gets me giggling ahaha
This is one of my favorite romance anime! Looking forward to your reaction! Also, Taiga is one of the tsundere GOATs!
I love Taiga, she's so fun and cute
I love this show it’s a classic! the op and ending are amazing, and you’re so fucking beautiful! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love the opening and ending song
To be fair this my first Anime that led down the Rom Com rabbit hole…
This being on high regard because it was the first Rom Com, and my favorites being Sakurasou and Nisekoi
YEEEESSS!! one of my favorite romcom is getting attention ❤
6:15
Now that is the most appropriate reaction I seen so far (mostly because other who react to this seams lifeless😅)
"That's why it's the GOAT! THE GOAT!" time!!!
Delightful! Ryuuji is one of the Best Boys of anime, and Taiga is endlessly entertaining.
Well here we are on a new joirney,i already watched it but i forgot most of it, so it will be new to me too.
Thnaks for the reaction
Finally! This is arguably one of the best romcom animes in the last 20 years. I'm glad you started this journey and I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to the rest of the series.
toradora is and will be a forever classic
I have a habit of going back to toradora every few years, so might as well do it here. enjoy!
Nostalgia is hitting hard right now. Hope to see Clannad soon too
Binged like 30 videos these past two days 😅 about to watch all these now
Yes, some Toradora, recommended, it's beautiful
Late 90s/early 2000s anime just hits different.
This is the ultimate. The pinnacle. The tsunderest tsundere anime to ever tsundere.
Oh prepare for PTDS ( post toradora depression syndrome) it's a weird phenomenon that most of those who finish this show experience. I did have it and it didn't left me until my 7th rewatch of the series. Goodluck.
OMFG TORADORA IS AMAZING!!!
