Tiger versus Wood
I was motivated to pick up ToraDora! after reading about totali’s happiness with the first episode but Kabitzin’s warning about ‘Taiga and her horrible inu comments in the Kugimiya Rie tsundere voice’ stopped me in my tracks. It didn’t help that Mr Love Power himself developed concerns about the quality of manga adaptation. Overall the consensus on the internets is that the show could be good if Taiga doesn’t get too abusive/annoying. If things continue as they did at the end of Ep 2, this could be a very fun and enjoyable series indeed. More power to Ryuuji!
And I just kept thinking that Taiga is Minami Chiaki post-surgical removal of her ahoge. And what we learned when the PPD! gang tampered with Himeko’s should have been warning enough!
On the other hand, there was no such ambivalance with respect to Kannagi. Kurogane bestowed unto it the title of most delightful series of this season. Though I needed to check the dictionary to find out what hashihime meant when she praised ‘the nimble twists and turns of [Nagi's seiyuu Tomatsu Haruka's] voice are virtuosity with artistic meaning‘, I did find myself going: ‘Wow! Who *is* Nagi’s seiyuu?’ as I watched the first two episodes. Great emotional range as well as two very distinct mannerisms and the killer delivery of lines that are so stupid that they’re pure gold.
While I’m a little disappointed about a certain leaf as well as no ‘uguu’ in the first episode but no hesitation to say that Kannagi has the upper hand, at this point, in my viewing priorities.
