So maybe I exaggerated; I do have a few comments to make about the end of Toradora! I mean, it felt strange not doing so anyway; it seems obligatory (as Cuchlann observes as well).

I ended up in a discussion the other day with my brother (this one) about Toradora!, involving in particular its most recent episode and those to come.
