The club was Toradora 01-02 yesterday, a rewatch for me (Toradora narrowly edged out Maria+Holic in runoff poll). And, I made a discovery.
It's not unusual for me to be very wrong about something I see in anime. This time, I thought that the leads in Toradora are thrown …
read moreIn conclusion, we need an Ami spinoff OVA or [TV] series. Because she is that awesome.
In final reckoning, Ami did not dominate Toradora for me in the same way Tsukiumi did of Sekirei. She's my favourite, yes, because Sumire's people skills are not very engaging, speaking diplomatically …

read moreA random link of the day made me notice that Fujusawa city includes Katase area (same kanji as in the show). The Wikipedia article also lists Machida nearby. Googling further, Kazamatsuri and Kayama are train stations in Odawara city, a little further west.
They are all in it together!
