    This is a recap of the whole Toradora show and is not the same as the special episode Toradora!: Bentou no Gokui or the Toradora!: SOS! shorts. I've only watched this without subs, and it seemed like a good recap episode even though I couldn't understand it. It was mostly clips from previous episodes and the ending was Kawashima's impressions from when she stayed at Taiga's house during the stalker arc. The unsubbed version is pretty hard to find since it only comes with the Toradora portable visual novel, and no fansub groups are planning on subbing this, so I doubt a subbed version will come outsoon.

    Also known as “Toradora! Portable”, is a recap episode exclusive to the PSP game of the same title, it goes in the same direction as any recap episode out there. The pacing, in general, was good, they covered only the important stuff and looked like they jumped through a lot of other non-mentioned thins, but as far as a recap goes, it felt like it told everything it needed to. Having not seen the parent show in a long time, this was definitely a refresher to the series although it didn't cover up the very last portion of the show and stopped somewhere at the Chrismas. Theonly issue with this is the lack of English subs if there are any at all.
