There's an extra episode? -goes to search it up- cx
I had to watch episode 25 twice in a row to make sure, particularly the part when Taiga returns to her apartment. Her note to Ryuuji (which she narrates starting at about 10:20) explains why. To clarify...
Spoiler :

I wonder if anyone had an episode of Fridge Brilliance since the last episode aired to now. Based on the comments posted by most everyone, a lot of people feel the same way about episode 25 as you do. I hope I've changed your opinion about the last episode. IMO, ep.25 was the best of the lot.
Ok, that helped a lot! That's very true, thanks for posting that explanation! Yes, I believe my view has been changed on the final episode now. ^^

Haha! x2 His OCD is hilarious :D I love it when he first visited Taiga's apartment.
I was watching the 14th ep again just as a random sitting and Ryuu is like inspecting all the windows and crap in the opening lol my god -_-.

I also love the part where the teacher is fuming about being unwed again and Ami casually compliments her sweater and the teacher breaks down in tears ^_^ I'm sorry but that is just SO real, part of the thing that makes great anime shows great. I should rewatch more of it.

Remember the thing I liked most was Minorin and her family issues. They never went into that and did the same thing in Bakumanagatari... but at least there's gonna be a Baku 2 (assuming). This is just not fare.

Maybe now, you know, the catalog will finally have the correct title.

Thank you! I hated that Tiger X Dragon title, it ruined the whole play on words thing they had doing on, and just sounded lame. :/

Thank you.

The thing that got me was that the other title wasn't even used by the vast majority of fans. Stuff like the Toaru series actually do have instances of groups/fans using the translated (A Certain...) titles - the only ones who possibly could use Tiger X Dragon were those who looked at the Chinese (Hong Kong or Taiwan, I can't remember) release...and why would we be looking there?

As far as I could remember, the official policy was to use either the official English domestic title, or the original transliterated Japanese title if the English didn't exist. Not unofficial English titles or ones used in a non-English market 90+ % of the users of this site don't fall under. That was what made it infuriating/annoying. Of course, if there's a post that documents this change feel free to point me to it - but I distinctly remember the whole thing about the catalog over Kimi ga Nozomu Eien vs. Rumbling Hearts, and that was when I thought the previous policy of only using official titles was clarified, and then otherwise falling back on the transliterated Japanese. At least that way it'd be consistent, and easy to correct, instead of playing chase-the-title.
