Episode Rankings: Toradora

To this day, Toradora is my favorite romcom ever made because of just how character-driven it is. It takes the time to develop the relationship of its main couple and establish why they're perfect for each other. Ryuji and especially Taiga are super interesting characters with their own unique struggles who go through very mature and complex character arcs throughout the course of the anime, and unlike many other romcoms, it leaves you with a lot to think about. Here's my ranking with its episodes:

1. Christmas Eve Party (Episode 19)
2. Confession (Episode 24)
3. One Step Forward (Episode 16)
4. Toradora (Episode 25)
5. Osashi High School Culture Festival III (Episode 13)
6. Taiga And Ryuji (Episode 2)
7. Who Is This For? (Episode 8)
