I have finally completed ToraDora! leaving me with only 4 anime on my list of shoujo series to watch.  I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this show, but I ended up liking it quite a lot.  I wouldn’t say it is super different or a game-changer, but it is certainly quite good.  I really enjoyed this anime and it didn’t drag at all.  It was quite addicting and I ended up watching it very quickly.  Both the plot and characters are unique enough to pull the show out ahead of other shoujo anime I have watched and I became very attached to what was happening.  Read on to learn about ToraDora!.
