Apologies, but you will have to wait a day or two for my normal comments in these threads due to traveling on my part. I just don’t have the literal or figurative bandwidth to do much atm.
After holding it off for a long time, I finally rewatch Toradora yet again so that I can give it a proper rating on AniList, instead of doing so based on vague memories of the show.
Even after so long, it is still peak drama. The animation quality from pre-2010s held up, as did its soundtrack and artstyle. But what made it stood the test of time is its character writing and story-telling.
There’s no doubt that it is getting a score of 10 / 10. Each episode got me hooked and wanting for me.
The harder test is whether it can enter my top favourites (i.e. top 10). For an anime to make it to my top favourites one vague criterion I have is rewatchability: it must leave a deep enough impression for me to want to rewatch it. Ultimately, I ended up dropping Belle in favour of Toradora.

As someone who also only get into Uma Musume franchise thanks to Cinderella Gray, I’m happy seeing another comrade also enjoying Uma Musume through the same route. Now, I have high expectation for S2, because BoaNE was phenomenal.
Binged go go loser ranger first season. Will watch second season even though first season middle episodes were a little weak. Hope second season is more constant.
