Tbf to both of them they do mature and improve over the course of the series, and I do understand that they are both young and have some understandable reasons for being the way they are, I do also appreciate that in this show the love polygon actually gets properly resolved. I do love Toradora, I was lucky enough to get the US NIS America Limited Edition off Ebay for £54 including postage and absolutely jumped at the chance, as it has far better picture quality than the UK Blu-ray set, and I really enjoyed rewatching the show. The Christmas episodes in particular are a highlight, but the whole thing is quality entertainment with great animation. Some very cool songs as well "I get dizzy when I try to be honest with myself... I get hurt, you get hurt, on an innocent pre-parade." In spite of my criticisms, I do consider this to be a modern classic of both anime generally and rom-com anime in particular. I really enjoyed the creator's other series Golden Time a lot as well 
. I last watched this particular instance of The Guyver 10 years ago and I really enjoyed it then and even now, while I can acknowledge the animation is very basic in places, I still really like it. Episode 4 with the Hyper Zoanoid Team 5 is were this series really gets into it's stride and episodes 4 - 6 is a fantastic run of drama and cool action.Goshogun TV (DROPPED, English subbed) - I didn't hate this, but considering it's meant to be a parody the shenanigans of the heroes are just your typical mecha pilot team stuff from that era, I'm not generally much of a villain stan but the ones in this series are more entertaining than the heroes (particularly the effeminate blonde guy who seems to be Not So Bad After All, perhaps?). I get that the humor is meant to be subtle but there's a fine line between subtle and barely there at all, I much preferred the GoShogun: The Time Etranger film which is darker than the series and has beautiful visuals and direction, and which I also appreciated for its focus on Remy, the main female character from the series, over the more sausage-fest-y tone of the TV show. I could conceivably see myself watching more of this at some point, give it another chance and all that, but there are so many other anime I could watch that I'd probably get greater enjoyment out of
