[58] THEM Anime Review's Stig Høgset commends the anime for how it "actually resolves the relationship issue it set out to do instead of wimping out like so many romantic shows with several girls tends to do in an attempt to not make people angry or disappointed." [59] He also comments Taiga as the "genetical marriage" of Shana from Shakugan no Shana and Louise from Zero no Tsukaima. [59] However, he also criticized "Taiga's continuous behavior, particularly towards Ryuji" and the introduction of Taiga's father in which Høgset "felt that the whole story arc jerked me around".

At the time of starting to write this review, I’m currently on the last novel and can say without a doubt that this anime can’t be completely representative of the novels, since the anime started airing while the penultimate novel was being written. I will admit, the novel gave me some feels, but these were mostly negative feelings of hate and rage at the characters. So please take into consideration my low expectations when reading this review. I’ll also admit my bias against ecchi, fan-service and pointless perverted BS.

However, there is a catch. We mentioned at the beginning of the article that Toradora! is an OVA, which means Toradora! gets released in other media as well, including novels, video games, and more. One game was released called Toradora! Portable where players could as Ryuuji and Taiga and determine their ending.

Yasuko Takasu is Ryuji’s 33 year-old irresponsible mother and an airhead slut. Yes 33 years-old, in her freshman year of high-school, this dumb bitch managed to get impregnated (willingly might I add) by a Yakuza thug. She ran away from home to give birth to her son at the age of 16 and raise him on her own. The father was a typical scumbag and disappeared, apparently he went missing and could possibly be dead. No spoilers, but he never appears in the entirety of the canon (probably dead then). She has a curvaceous figure, she’s always had massive boobs as evidenced from a pregnancy picture where her man is groping her. She works at a hostess bar, she might as well be a stripper since she spends most of her income on clothes and accessories for work and booze. As a result, the mother-son family is kinda poor and lives cheap. She always comes home drunk and sleeps throughout the day. She never does the housework and relies on her son for everything. She has no shame, wearing lingerie in front of her son and anyone who comes to visit and letting patrons of her workplace grope her. She is over-protective and unreasonable with her son, she won’t let him get a part-time job or any work and intends for him to go to university even though she cannot afford it. This may be due to regrets about her ruining her own life and not getting on with her parents, she is possibly trying to live her dreams through her son. Toradora!
