The anime proves to be a bloody red gem in its genre that shall remain unmatched for a long time. Many fans haven’t gotten over the haze of ‘Toradora!’ and still want a new season. What we might get is a fan-made new version of the anime but then again, the fan versions don’t usually live up to the reputation of the original. Staff Studio seems too busy with big upcoming projects. There have been some speculations from time to time about a new season but there are no confirmations yet from the studios’ end. The possibility of getting a new season is quite less as of now because it has been almost a decade after the first season came out. Within a span of these 6 months, ‘Toradora!’ covered 25 episodes with each one of them being 24 minutes long. Toradora Season 1 premiered on Octoand ended on March 26, 2009. Toradora Season 2 Release Date: When will it premiere? Once the first season comes to an end, you realize that quite a few plot points have still not been covered but this is something we should be happy about because these could just be hints for a new season. I am sure there are many others out there, like me, who ended up watching it more than once. For someone like me who has always despised most anime of this genre, this seemed to be a breakthrough. What starts off as a mainstream rom-com soon takes an emotional path where you start investing in each one of the characters. The soundtracks, too, are quite memorable and its their emotional content that keeps you engaged throughout. For me, ‘Toradora!’ proved to be unlike any other anime in the genre because it has a completely different premise that is bound to entertain you.

Personally, I may not be too familiar with rom-com anime but I do have a fair idea about what they’re like. But the storyline proves to be anything but a mere cliche. The main character Taiga is unnaturally short and has a fierce temper which is, I swear, the most cliched type of character ever. It takes you back to your own high school days because everything that they say or feel is very close to real life.

They become strangely likable because everything they do or think is very relatable. The characters, despite being cliched, are still quite memorable and different from any other anime characters you’ve ever seen. But I can very well explain why this show has been a different experience compared to my other attempts at romantic comedies.

I’ll have to say that I am not too proud of this new personal anime ground that I have broken because romantic anime have never been my thing. As typical as the characters may be, something started to click and that’s how I ended up watching the entire series. But I decided to stay a little longer and that’s when things started changing a little. I was not even mildly surprised when right off the bat, the main character Taiga started to get on my nerves.
