Episode 20 of Minorin anime Toradora brings an unusual reference in the form of her brandishing a “Fail Whale” mug, an image which should be known to Twitter users, for it is displayed to them whilst they refresh the page compulsively in the hopes that maintenance will mysteriously be completed faster by so doing.
Somehow the image of hyperactive near yandere Minori Kushieda also being a fan of a medium which could charitably be called “lacking in substance” seems rather appropriate.
Is this proof that Minorin does indeed keep her computers and consoles just out of view in her spartan room?
This makes me like this series less
Every girl in ToraDora! is more lonely than we thought.
Isn’t that at Taiga’s place though? It means just nothing.
It must mean something?
Maybe the animator is a Twitterer and it’s just an inside joke.
I thought that image was originally created by some Aussie(?) designer as a birthday present for a friend.. I think the original use might even have been a mug.
It helps her forget her dark past.
