Tsundere knee socks anime とらドラ! / ToraDora! may have had a lacklustre start with respect to ratings, getting only 1.5%, but critics found little to fault it on, and as we saw, many of you are keen to keep watching (98% of you in fact).
The second episode looks set to ensure many continue viewing, as it cements the title’s credentials as an anime of the first rate.
With this in mind I think I can go so far as to add my own vote of confidence in the title; the second episode really picked up the pace and engaged me, unexpected considering I’m not even a fan of the genre.
The full opening is possibly the best of the season, combining stylish visuals with some intereting electronic music. Nice to see the usual tired dance routines eschewed as well.
Seiyuu work in this episode really starts to stand out.
No service of any kind; presumably there will at some point be an onsen episode?
There’s not much I can find to fault the anime on (apart from that parrot thing); I might suggest even those not particularly fond of tsundere give it a try, as they may be pleasantly surprised. Others will want to watch the next episode at their earliest convenience.
This definitely looks like something worthwhile to observe. Very cute characters. I like when they do opening sequences with the pictures and the characters’ names, because I forget names easily and hate to go consult a wiki every time I am trying to place a name to a memory.
I got plenty of issues with that Ugly weird parrot… seriously… THat is a Mutated parrot in my opinion~!
Fans who’ve read the novels seem to be very concerned that they’ve used up a whole novel in only two episodes…
Personally, the pace seemed fine, but it will do no good if they run out of material.
An entire novel in two episodes? Wow. Those better be some short light novels, or else they have to be trimming places. ZnT averages 6 episodes per novel, and SnS averages about the same.
Really enjoyed this ep, coming into the season so far as one of my favorites for sure.
Taiga sure does push my buttons in the proper way ^^
Nice OP, thought my vote of best OP of the season still falls at Kannagi…
seconded ^^
