…where was I? Oh, yeah. I like how this convo reminded me of the best parts of the first two episodes, which will hopefully manifest itself as a Toradora post sometime soon–which is my tsundere way of saying that you should give this format a shot more often. It’s like watching two versions of Konata watching this show, a concept mind-boggling in and of itself. Great choice of screencaps!

The Taiga hate is understandable. She is a fairly deep tsundere character and I rather like her, but there are an equal amount of reasons to hate her too. An extreme tsundere like Taiga is a toss-up between the fans and fans will flock to the extreme ends of love and hate for her.

@Hynavian: I’ll totally buy that Taiga plushie when it comes out!!! Gogogo ToraDora!! And I envy you for being able to watch it on TV!!

usagijen: I want… the tiger plushie!!

Same here! Time for Tora Dora to work a little in the area of commerce by mass producing tiger plushies for fans out there. Oh you reminded me that there’s Tora Dora on tv tonight!

@Ryan and mellow: if we record our conversations it won’t be as funny anymore And we can’t really record it unless we’re talking to each other, and since we only have “text-based chats”…

@issa: you’re being tsundere about Taiga, hehehe As to whether or not the tsun-tsun-ness will work IRL will depend on its execution and the person (the victim? ) at the receiving end of it

@Luppy: lol, don’t worry about the RAGE RANT, it still won’t compare to the rage of Haesslich, so don’t worry Interesting that you mention about Taiga’s bitchiness getting worse in the later volumes, I can only imagine how the anime Taiga will turn into when it gets to cover those This will be my ultimate “tsuntsun tolerance” test, so we’ll see how the later episodes will go

@Omisyth: ohohoho~ I can only hope you enjoyed reading that

@FuyuMaiden: haha, I want to hug little Taiga, even if it pisses her off, or more like, I want to do it to piss her off or something People like her are fun to tease

@Caitlin: I turn off my Realism Radar when watching this show, or rather, it’s automatically turned off for tsunderes (oh the bias XD)

@ghostlightning: ROFLMAO. I guess the dere-dere will revive you, so there’s no need to worry about your “death by tsun”

@Kairu: yes, wanna join? =P

@N: Taiga’s “maturity” is subjective after all, and how well you can accept her character will always have this mix of personal bias — how deep you perceive her character to be, and just how far are you going to use that depth as an excuse to justify her “tsun”/abrasiveness I’m “blinded” to her vicious rage attacks, I don’t really take them seriously (I just laugh when she goes all RAEGGG, and I can only wonder if that’s even normal lol), so that’s most likely why I have no issues with her
