Toradora! 5: Wherein “Airhead” Really Means “Conceited, Deceptive Bitch”.

A most likely accurate depiction of Fuyumaiden’s feelings on Ami.

Wow, Ami is a bitch. And not the irritating but for some strange reason appealing ojou type either, just the cunning two-faced type that makes you want to-

Uh… go Taiga-sama!

I don’t really care if she’s got family problems/is an attention whore/ has a character beneath the character beneath the character that she puts on for people, she should just be a bit less of a, in Kitamura’s words, “spoiled, selfish, tyrannical princess” and more of the airhead she pretends to be. I can take idiots, but not so much people with rotten characters justified through “problems”. But what’s truly puzzling is that Kitamura actually likes her. I’m thinking he has a secret S&M fetish that’s yet to be revealed. His face just screams “Insult me more, Ami~”.

Ahhh, Minorin. You’re like a warm ray of sunshine on a cold and frosty day. I take what I said back about her being too “GENKIGENKIGENKI“, she’s fine just the way she is, and can always be counted on for little gems and comedy dotted around the show no matter the bitch that intrudes upon Taiga’s holy land.

MINORIN KNOWS ALL.

Meh, Taiga and Ryuuji pretty much had business as usual. Taiga slaps someone who deserves it, kind of angsts over Kitamura not liking her for giving someone heir comeuppance, then Ryuuji cheers her up. By taking a pillow to the face.

I’d be happy to accept anything from Taiga. Anything…

I do like the look of evil on Taiga’s face when she realised Ami’s situation; it is not wise to anger the Palmtop Tiger. Though we all know it’s going to end with Ami getting a hug somehow. (Side Note: What the hell is up with Ryuuji’s mom? I realise she’s a spoiled brat, but come on get off your back ass and cook your own goddamn meal for a change.)
