The animation serves the story well and the quality of the transfer does the show justice. It’s a very appealing animation, with memorable and distinctive character designs, fluid and detailed movement, and a likeable world design.

There is hardly any digital banding, and stairstepping is also absent while the colours are rich and vibrant. The image is clear and sharp throughout, there are no issues with glitches or visible artefacting, and the animation comes across smoothly. If that is the case, then this is one of the best upscales I have seen. I’ve read previously that the show got an upscale to Blu-ray. Bento Battle Picture Toradora gets a 1.78:1 widescreen 1080p transfer on these discs. But the path of true love never goes smoothly, and it’s made even more complicated when Kitamura’s childhood friend and professional model Ami Kawashima transfers into their school.ĭisc 3 19. It only makes sense that the two team up to help each other with their respective love lives, even if Taiga doesn’t see it as a team, so much as a master-dog relationship. For neither of them is there a lot of success when it comes to love, but by coincidence, Taiga has a massive, shyness inducing crush on Ryuji’s best friend, Yusaku Kitamura, while Ryuji simply worships the ground that Taiga’s best friend Minori Kushieda walks on. On the other hand Taiga Aisaka may be petite, cute, and to all intents and purposes adorable, but she’s got the personality of a firebrand, and a tendency to emphasise her opinions with a dropkick. That’s made making friends a little difficult. He might wish to convey a mild-mannered gaze, but it always comes across as a defiant glare. He’s a kind, pleasant, thoughtful guy, who from his father has inherited the looks of a delinquent.

Ryuji Takasu has a problem with his appearance.
