Dec 25, 2010 Wiriamuzu Recommended I watched this right after Toradora! and this cracked me up. The story is basically somebody talking about food and Ryuugi says it delicious at "Jonny's" where Minorin is there to duel with her own variation of the food they talk about with Taiga and Ami as victims..er.. tasters. the art is not nearly as good as the Parent story but very cute as most of the girls have animal ears and tails exsept for Minorin who has a flower. dont look for a deep meaning to it but its 20 minutes of you life you wont miss. ( P.S, Ryuugi is wierd around minori, You'll see..) Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 27, 2011 bizarrequazar Mixed Feelings Oh God, why did I watch this...? *Sigh* It's not bad, it really isn't. It was just... Boring. To start off, unlike it's parent series Toradora!, which revolved around a love dodecahedron of sorts, SOS focuses on... Food. While this is interesting at first, it soon looses its panache. There isn't really much plot to talk about. It's just talking about food and saying that it's delicious. The art as well isn't great. As this is more or less a gag spin-off, the character models are all very chibi and seems a bit reminiscent of Haruhi-chan. What's interesting about the character designs is that the girls all ...

Mar 12, 2012 KirkieBirkie Not Recommended So I LOVE Toradoa! I had to watch all of the extras. As a huge fan of Toradora I can tell you that this isn't really worth the watch. First off, it's all chibi. Second off the first three episodes follow this pretty much: A food is brought up and they say it tastes bad, Takasu says at Johnny's it tastes good so they go, Minori calls Takasu an idiot and a challenge between two servings of the food goes on we get some weird lectures and then Kitamura comes in for a word and then we hear from Inko. The last episode is a ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 5, 2010 anime_n00b Recommended After watching the series I had to see the OVA's especially when I found out these dealt with food. Let me say this first off.. To me.. this was almost better than the series. I thought the series lacked the comedy everyone had said it had.. but to me.. these four OVA's completely made up for it. All of the episodes are about 5 minutes long and they honestly move very quickly. The characters are all in chibi form.. plus the girls have animal ears and tails added lol... so.. the art is pretty cute.. and makes you laugh already..except Kushieda-chan has a flower on her ...

Feb 24, 2016 OnlyFestive Not Recommended While I'm a huge fan of Toradora, I made the mistake of thinking that anything Toradora-related would be great. Chibi versions of my favorite characters in a silly, four episode special? What could go wrong! Unfortunately, plenty of things. I actually found myself fast-forwarding out of irritation with how poor the first couple episodes were treated. The art is sporadic, the dialogue is not aligned with the character personalities I've experienced from the original series, and the premise of SOS is awful. The episodes follow the same theme. Taiga and crew start off at school, usually prattling on about some sort of food tasting poor. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 28, 2016 halfpup Mixed Feelings well, there's 20 minutes of my life that i'll never get back. i am a toradora fan so i really wanted to check this out. but sadly, i found that these four episodes were pretty... boring. by the time i completed the second episode, i wasn't looking forward to the next episode as much as i did watching the original toradora anime. ( i mean, i know that takasu loves food but i don't know of many people who would enjoy sitting through one of takasu's lectures about curry or what have you ) the art is definitely cute but very simple. the backgrounds look a bit ...

Apr 6, 2020 BurntFlower Not Recommended Toradora! SOS is an unsightly stain to the Toradora name. It is a festering, maggot-filled wound; a rotting limb that requires immediate amputation lest the infection spreads; a dying scream in the night that is best unacknowledged. “How bad can 4 short episodes be?” you may ask. It pains me to answer. I fully realize that this is supposed to be a silly comedy. Lighthearted fluff. Trivial fanservice. However, how can I laugh when the multi-dimensional characters of one of my favorite romance shows are reduced to colorful, brainless meat puppets? These people are supposed to be Ryuuji, Taiga, Minori, Ami…but all I can see are cartoonish cardboard ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 26, 2023 funfil Not Recommended Got a headache while watching this. Also my eyes and ears are bleeding for obvious reasons. There's no way someone rate this at that high. Not unique, predictable, not funny, not enjoyable, terrible, ugly, disgusting, please don't make me write this and just pass, full of stereotypes, mockery of the series, abuse to an anime world, annoying and go outside or whatever. Worst half an hour in my life. There's no another word I can say about it. First point for being ToraDora, second point for self-irony, third point for absurdity. I am too kind for reviewing this thing. Go rewatch ToraDora. Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 12, 2018 Eoussama Not Recommended Once you hit the play button, it feels like an eternity even though it's just 5 minutes an episode. That was really boring and very hard to keep track with, and honestly, not worth the effort. It's like playing of one VSauce's videos at x3 speed, so much trivia all over the place with a bad sense of humor, (not that Micheal is not funny). The animation didn't help either.

Oct 18, 2016 KayosJXZ Recommended So they managed to shrink Taiga even more I sure am impressed. Make her even more loli well played. Anyway I only watched it because I wanted to watch all the extras and why not lel wasting 20 min of my life ain't a big deal. To be fair it ain't that bad. The characters are cute and all but still the story kinda boring (If you call it a story). Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 2, 2018 JoshTheGayReal Mixed Feelings After having watched the full 'Toradora!' series, the first full anime series I have ever actually completed, I found myself wanting more. Luckily, there are extra little 'Toradora!' projects/specials like this in existence. Unluckily, 'Toradora!: SOS' is extremely flawed and is laughable compared to the original series; however, the characters ARE still here, and are fun to spend further time with, even if, for some reason, they are these bizarre miniature versions of themselves with bigger heads and smaller bodies. Also, it was kind of upsetting to see that, for literally no reason, Taiga and Ami are just these weird cat girls now; they ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 5, 2017 AnimeFan48 Mixed Feelings this review will probably be short otherwise lets get into it Story: nothing really to the story just the main cast here going and eating different foods and kinda learning about the foods really nothing her for a story. Art: in terms with the anime it actually uses a chibi kinda style for the characters while also keeping the art the same from the anime Sound: No real Op they did add the ED from the anime but that's really about it i watched the dub not the sub for the anime but the sub in this was pretty good. Character: Taiga is one of the females ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 2, 2020 Certified_Rat Recommended { My goal is to write reviews that don't take much time to read, yet get the point across, as well as being as spoiler-free as possible. Please be assured that you will learn nothing you can't already read in the synopsis unless mentioned priorly } Very enjoyable special! I hopped right into this once I completed Toradora and my did I enjoy it. The idea of the food "competitions" if you will, was very entertaining! The art was simple, but for the type of small anime special it is, it's appropriate to use. It felt like the voice actors were talking instead of the actual characters, and just ...

Nov 16, 2022 Netbug Mixed Feelings Toradora!: SOS! seems to be is what happens when a creator has an idea for an original shorts series but lacks the courage, budget, or both to make a new original IP, so they slap a successful IP's name onto it. On the one hand, it's an amusing series of shorts about five friends eating/talking about Japanese cuisine that even includes a few bits of educational trivia. On the other, it simply doesn't feel related to ToraDora! in any way, shape, or form. While the characters occasionally say a line or two that reminds you of who they were in the original series, most of ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 8, 2023 CyanCheetah Recommended This is a much shorter review since there is not that much to unpack. It is a nice comedy special. The food was good, the animation was not as good as the main, and the comedy was good. I really enjoyed it! The story is definitely unique as criticizing food is not something a lot of anime does. I enjoyed it particularly since the Toradora cast were the ones doing it. The characters had amazing reactions. The character design was cute with the animal characteristics haha ...

Jan 25, 2022 shadow_ACer Recommended I would make a long paragraph like most reviewers but this anime is DELICIOUSLY GOOD! The moments are random and funny. Also, the animation is top-tier outstanding! 10/10 and also since each episode is 6 mins long, this anime is great and awesome. It is very exhilarating! Toradora revolves around Ryuuji Takasu, despite his gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent. Class rearrangements on his second high school year put him together with his best friend, Yusaku Kitamura, and his hidden crush, Minori Kushieda. This random SOS anime does not tie in or in any shape connects to the actual anime. Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 25, 2020 YellowWeeb55 Mixed Feelings This is Toradora, right? I am pretty sure I didn't smoke anything... This "Special" seems like the writers told the actors and artist to do whatever you want. And this what comes out. Toradora high on catnip. The episodes consisting of mainly the gang going out and eat. Ruyyji and Kitamura making really long explanations of stuff that is really important. The whacky characters are who they are but, also seem to be high on catnip. Overall it's okay, but I didn't crack any laughs of any sort. I would only suggest watching this if you really liked Toradora. ... Read more Open Gift Report |
