Anime Recap – Fall ’08 and Winter ’09

Now that the Spring ’09 shows have began, let’s take a look back on a number of shows that I followed, completed and which went on since Fall ’08 and those which started on Winter ’09; Toradora, Minami-ke Okaeri, Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou and Clannad After Story.

A little bit of a note before reading on – there’s a few spoilers abound, so if you haven’t watched the end of these series yet, then don’t spoil yourself reading the rest of this entry.

Toradora! – Runaway Beasts

And they’re off.

Toradora! – Dreams

Or so what Ryuuji wants what happened last week to be.

Toradora! – Avalanche!

Of emotions, not snow. We do get a snowstorm, however.

Toradora! – Ryuuji pressed Start to continue.

With the help of a certain palmtop tiger.

Toradora! – Have an unmerry Christmas.

The conclusion of the X-mas arc turned out to be a…not so happy one.

Toradora! – Strike Two for Minori

We continue into the Christmas arc with a few more emotional moments and an incident.

Toradora! – Tiger’s really a cub during Christmas.

Not really fierce now, aren't we?

Toradora! – Don’t catfight against a tiger.

Seriously.

Toradora 16 was indeed one of the more powerful episodes I’ve seen in the series.
