[ISM Flight 2 Anime]

Toradora! 11

Taiga is complaining about the intense heat in the morning when they see Minori on the way to school as well. A very excited Haruta then comes by and reveals that after the summer break was the anticipated Cultural Festival. While the atmosphere was high, their teacher appears with a gloomy face and talks to herself like something miserable had happened to her during the summer break. Back in the student council room, they were all having a meeting due to the fact that the Cultural Festival had shortened to one day yet again. Kitamura also voices out that if it goes according to plan, the Cultural Festival will make giving up the two days worth more. In the sports hall, Ryuuji and the other guys were sitting around while the girls were playing basketball. Ryuuji was thinking about Minori asking him to go UFO hunting with her in the future when Taiga suddenly started quarreling with Ami. The other guys were then looking at the girls that they fancy and Taiga had seemed to have started a fight with Ami again. Back in the changing room, Haruta suggests to the class to vote for a maid cafe if they wanted to see their favourite girls' cute sides. However, one of them suggests for china costumes but that made Ryuuji worry about Taiga if the costume was too tight. The ideas then start branching off and in the end, Kitamura suggests to do a cosplay cafe instead. Taiga was looking at the rip in her trackpants when she recieves a phone call but she ignored it immediately. She later finds Ryuuji and asks him to mend it while Ami arrives too and Taiga blames it on her nails. Ryuuji then go with Taiga and agrees to help her. Minori appears too and when Ryuuji wants to talk more about the UFO hunting thing, Minori pretends to not hear it and returns to class. Back in Ryuuji's home, Taiga's phone rang again but she ignores it yet again. Taiga then talks about the person being some damned old man and Ryuuji seems worried about it. He later realises that it was Taiga's father calling him and Ryuuji advices her to pick it up as it is still her father but Taiga just ignores it. Ryuuji mother then awakes too and talks about Ryuuji's father instead. In class the next day, Haruta is discussing about the Cultural Festival and suggests to nominate Ami for the beauty contest but Ami said she could not do it as she was the host and nominates Taiga instead. Taiga was pissed but it was already decided due to her popularity and part of Kitamura's help. Haruta then goes back to the topic about what they're class will be doing and one of the class guys then suggests Cosplay Cafe immediately. Minori also stands up and tries to suggest a haunted house but was too excited and had a nosebleed. Kitamura warns her that she should stop or her body will not be able to take it. Haruta then asks the class to write down what each of them wants and puts them in a bag while he will shuffle and pick out one. In the end the class had to do pro-wrestling and their teacher liked that idea too, the guys then asks why he did not do a majority pick instead which Haruta later realises. After school, Taiga was withdrawing money when she finds out that there was no money left in the accound and Taiga suggests that it was all her father's doing. Her cellphone then rings again and Ryuuji asks her to pick it up or nothing will change. Ryuuji was then made to see Taiga's father instead of Taiga herself and her father explained their current family situation to him and wants to break up with his new wife and live with Taiga again. Taiga helps Ryuuji in the dishes as she had agreed to do so if he had went to see her father instead. Ryuuji then attempts to tell her what her father wants to do but it leads to Taiga going home when she was angry and sad that Ryuuji was feeling bad for her father and not Taiga herself. In school, Haruta completes the script for the pro-wrestling and Ami will be the main lead while Ryuuji and Taiga will be the evil people. Haruta also tells the class that they had no choice but to do it since their teacher had already signed in and handed it in. Taiga and Ami then starts to fight when Kitamura enters and announce that the Cultural Festival will be made into an inter-class competition and the prizes were fabulous. Ryuuji and Taiga goes back home and on the way, Taiga sees her father waiting for her at her house and goes forward and kicks him immediately. Ryuuji then rushes to Taiga and stops her and tells her that she should at least listen to what he has to say. Ryuuji then gets angry when Taiga calls her own father thrash and tells her that he could never get his own father back no matter how much he wishes for. Taiga then asks Ryuuji not to make that face again and takes it as a happy thing and walks back to her father where he hugs her and Ryuuji hopes that everything was alright.

*ok... Taiga's father was not quite how i expected him to be... wonder how the Cultural Festival will turn out too, maybe Taiga will really wack Ami hard? O.O*
