Remember how I said I wasn’t going to be watching this series? I lied. I just realized how big my lack of comedy romances just got. >_< Also, did I mention the style of Toradora? It attracts me, for some reason.
This one’s about a guy with a really creepy stare, and because of that everybody runs away from him at school. He’s not actually all that bad, but he inherited his looks from his dad, so it’s unchangable. The first day of school begins, and unlucky for him, he bumps into the Palmtop Tiger, the short but evil girl who’s also cosidered deadly. He begins to understand the nature of the name, but she unleashes a devastating uppercut, and I’d like to say Ryuuji (the main character) was laughed at for getting beat up by a girl, but he wasn’t. Some other needed information is Ryuuji’s crush, Minori (who happens to be Taiga’ best friend), and Taiga’s crush, Kitamura (who happens to be Ryuuji’s best friend).
After school Ryuuji hurries to get his bag from his classroom, but when he gets there, desks are being thrown around the room, and from a closet out rolls Taiga. Ryuuji then gets his bag in a hurry, but not before being confronted for it. Taiga sneezes, though, so Ryuuji manages to get the bag and get out of there. When he gets home, he finds out the reason she wanted the bag. She had gotten seat placement wrong, and placed a love letter for Kitamura inside Ryuuji’s bag instead of Kitamura’s. D: However, the letter’s empty, so she’s lucky she didn’t get it right.
Then, in the middle of the night, Taiga sneeks in and beats up Ryuuji again, except this time with a kendo sword. Lulz. They talk about love, find out they live next to each other, and decide to help each other, and that’s the end because I got bored writing up a summary. >_<
Ryuuji’s parrot, Inko, is obviously the best character:

Cough. Next.

Lulz. I took a break and decided to rewatch the first episode of Junjou Romantica again, and I ended up seeing the whole series. Again. >_<
Anyway, I really don’t like this series. Typical typical typical. The team should come up with more ideas, instead of the same old girl ends up living with her crush, vice versa. >_< I’m not even going to bother writing up a summary, so… next.

Hyakko, on the other hand, was awesome. The episode revolved around four highschool girls who got lost in a giant academy, and are working together to try and find away to their classroom.
The first was Nonomura Ayumi, the clumsy and forgetful klutz. After walking along and reached the same spot multiple times, she found Iizuka Tatsuki, the more organized and annalytical type of person. While they both wander around, Ayumi finally realizes that Tatsuki is also lost, and ventures upon asking. When Tatsuki says yes, all hope is lost. =_= Luckily, though, they run into a window two stories up. And jumping out of that window comes Kageyama Torako and Saotome Suzume. I twitched at the ankle part, shudder.
Torako continues on boldly, though, saying that the only way to go was to go forward. Eventually they reach an elementary kids’ classroom, get kicked out, break a window, and punch a teacher in his gut. However, they get caught, and suffer detention, but hye, at least they found the classroom.
Hyakko and Toradora are probably the only school comedies I’ll be watching this Fall season, because Akanerio ni Somarusaka isn’t awesome enough.
Btw, I rewatched Junjou Romantica. Again.
