Mar 26, 2018
In the moment you encounter that special someone, everything else is rendered obsolete. In this encounter, the world around you, the people in your life, and the things they demand of you all lose meaning. Your attention belongs to that special someone and no other. Time itself ceases to move as your encounter unfolds; when that special someone carries on a conversation with you, it feels as if it’ll last forever. Your heart races, pulsating as if it’ll spring forth from your chest at any given time. Your nerves quiver, the butterflies fluttering freely inside your body. Your vision blurs and your face crimsons, the ...

Life is like a game, if you play right, you’ll win. Well, that’s sounds like bullshit but life can feel like a game sometimes. You’re like a player in a world with others and to be successful, you need to play right. Now, what the hell does that have to do with a show like “Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san”?

To put it simply, this show feels like watching two players compete but not in the way you’d think. To me, Takagi and Nishikata are two characters that play with each other in life. However, it’s a little bit different than competition. Between the two, Takagi is ...

Do you want to know what school days love is 10 years back?

This is a story of 2 backbench kids or to be precise, a daily or slice of life of a boy named Nishikata who gets teased by his benchmate Takagi by playing mind games on him.

Almost every situation is kind of different, i.e unlike in some anime like 'Tonari no Seki-kun' where the situation is always in class but here in this anime we see diffferent scenarios from walking from home to school, doing homework, studying in library, summer holidays etc.

The main beauty of this anime is the presence of innocent love ...

Preliminary (4/12 eps)
With Winter 2018 comes a plethora of Slice of Life series. One of them being a war. A war between 2 middle schoolers. Enjoying their youth to the fullest comes the ecstatic interactions between our two main characters, Nishikata and Takagi. In short, the females always win.

That’s basically the whole premise, a girl teasing a boy to no end and his failed attempts at retaliation only fans the flame even more. However, there’s always variety in the way she does her schemes. It’s fun to watch each time and highly enjoyable. As a manga reader, I am glad they were able to present all the ...

i just think this was the most underrated anime from winter season.

Just don't overthink it, this show in a nutshell is girl tease boy, he plans something to get tease her, backfires and gets teased again, simple and repetitive but very funny every time

Story 7 | Art 9 | Sound 7 | Character 8 | Enjoyment 10 | Overall: 9

Story 7/10
The story is repetitive but not boring, they somehow manage to make completely different scenes without getting the usual plot elements (tease, plans something, backfires,gets teased) and get a lot of comedy moments from it, simple but not everyone can do this.

Aside from the ...

It is not the type of anime I am used to watch but i can't prevent myself to smile while watching it.
At first sight, it just seems to be the usual slice of life, but from the very beginning, the relationship beetween the character is very appealing and i am always finding myself wanting to learn more about them. Indeed, we learn more about Takagi and Nishikata during their chat and here is the feat, it is hard to foretell how Takagi will trap Nishikata.
When you mix this with an interesting visual choice, one cannot deny that this anime a little ...

Best anime in this season!

Takagi-san, a girl like demon for Nishikata. Coz she always tease him without he revenge her tease.

Actually, takagi likes nishikata. But she express her love with tease. And only with tease she can be closer with him.

Why i select this anime for AoTS?

Because Takagi too cute in her way to get Nishikata heart. Her VA also so suitable with takagi characteristic, make a Takagi more lively of the manga series.

This is one of the few anime that my little brother watches with me and that speaks volumes as he doesn't watch many anime. That getting out of the way how does the show hold up so far

The story is very loose but it works. It is just a bunch of pranks and childish fun at and after school between two kids who kinda have a thing for each other, and their friends. Its very episodic but it leads to amazing moments and some character development in an episodic show. Its romance. The kids have a thing for each other. Also there are lots of ...

Romance is usually a concept that is difficult for children to wrap their minds around. Sure, you might like someone, but how do you even approach that person? Even if you do manage to approach him or her, how do you make sure that you don’t make an utter fool of yourself? Most kids end up arriving at one answer – show your interest by teasing the target of your affection. Sure, the target may not take it all that well, but at least you get to interact with them because of it, right? Karakai Juzou no Takagi-san (henceforth abbreviated as ‘Takagi-san’) is an anime ...

The whole anime is soo amazing that you can't rest without binge watching it and i completed the 2 seasons in one day.
Highly recommended for those who are looking for a anime with comedy and want something refreshing and wholesome.
This is my one of the best romcom anime with storyline that you you wont find anywhere else.
There's no problem if you just start rewatching it after finishing it which i did.
While the characters invest you totally in themselves you will find the story more interesting as the story progresses.
So start watching this anime series if you are reading this and haven't started yet.

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san is a rather episodic format series divided into multiple skits per episode that relies overly on one formula. Once you saw the first episode you can predict how most interactions down the line would go. This is made even more glaring by the fact that the show attempts to preserve the status quo for the majority of its run. You will be stuck mostly watching the male MC repeatedly attempt to pull a shenanigan against the female MC and she is of course one step ahead of him. Much of the show’s attempt at humor is centered on how she flips ...

TL;DR – A fun, comedy-driven show that gives me diabetes every episode. It knows exactly what it wants to do, how to go about doing it and then does it really well.


Basic breakdown below ⬎



== Impressions / Presentation: 7.5/10 ==

The basic formula involves Nishikata (the boy) trying to tease Takag (the girl), but fails and gets teased instead. Before you know it, you too are thinking: "What is Takagi scheming this time!?". It's not only a game for Nishikata, it's also a game for us, and this is how the show keeps the formula fresh and exciting.

Ah...the fun moments of middle school days, MORE SO when it comes towards the romantic aspect.

Needless to say, I was a HUGE fan of the manga series even before the anime adaptation was out, and remembering my thoughts of requesting this to have an anime, and what to say, my (and many fans)prayers are finally answered with this great adaptation of 2 comic series (the main series and the spin-off (Ashita wa Doyoubi) which focuses on the side characters Mina, Yukari, Sanae) and it truly delivered the one-to-one experience to a T.

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san is a rom-com, a SoL on 2 very simple but ...

BS Review: In this thrilling, psychological warfare that breaks even the keenest of minds, we witness an antagonist so powerful that we sympathize the main character's mental position. This dramatic, emotional show tells a tale like no other—a show of tragic love and betrayal. And of bobblehead chibis with hairlines that have more of an extreme angle than Minecraft's rubberbanding glitch.

Its hard to forget sometimes that there are some shows that are purely made for fun, with no meaning behind them

Like this one.

The art and sound aren't that impressive, I feel like you would have the same experience reading the manga. Considering shows like Violet ...

“Don’t tease me bro!” -(Dat forehead though)

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, or, Skilled Teaser Takagi-san as the gringos say, is an anime that I feel a lot of people are getting the wrong impression of. Takagi-san is an adaptation of the manga of the same name by Souichirou Yamamoto that also pays homage to characters from his previous manga, Ashita no Douyubi (Tomorrow’s Saturday). Takagi-san wasn’t necessarily a project that caught my eye given any one name attached to its credits, if I’m being honest here I didn’t even bother to read a premise. I’d go so far as to say it was a series that ...

Funny show, but totally pointless. Don't be fooled, this is not a romantic comedy : it's a comedy with a very small pinch of romance.


STORY
It's about a boy and a girl in love with each other and teasing each other, and... that's all. Literally.
There is no development at all on the situation nor on the characters. Even in each episode there is no actual story, as each episode is only a set of several indepedent sketches.
That's why this show is pointless : there is nothing to learn from it, and nothing to expect from it.
That said, story is far from being everything in an anime!

I know most of you guys will not enjoy my review but this entire review is based purely on my opinion on this show. And also, this is my very first review of an anime so please bear with me. :)

*SPOILER-FREE REVIEW* (Well a bit)
(Although there are some recommendations throughout this review)


I’ll start my review with the Story — Rating: 10
Ok. Not much to say but it is based on two characters Nishikata and Takagi who are middle school students who sit next to each other during class and Takagi is a “skilled teaser” (as mentioned in the English Title) who teases Nishikata. But it ...

Everyday lives which can bring silly smiles on your face.

That's one sentence which can describe karakai jouzo no Takagi-san. It will tease you by showing and repeating the male MC pitiful being over and over(if you see the VA you'll remember Arita from Accel World xD). And Takagi cute laugh will haunt your boring life, because it's very adorable (as expected of Emillia-tan).

This show is simple and silly, yet I will wait every week wanting to see more. I'm not bored because the events and places are varied and of course all of them are cute. Though the personality of Nishikata stay the same, but ...

Lets talk about one of the animes of the season. Not just for me but to the community in general. After all it has a rating in Mal of 7.92 (at the time of my writing) and you ask me why is that?

Well, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san is a story about love. What?? You ask. It is. It's a story about love in middle school and most of us don't remember our early years of middle school and can't phantom to remember if we felt love OR how we express it. One thing I know for sure - after all I am 37 now so...

For those who keep saying "Oh it's just an anime about a Girl teasing a Boy and the Boy wanting to take revenge" FALSE...well slightly false. While it is true that in the beginning it is mainly about our main character Nishikata being teased by our main heroine Takagi-san and wanting revenge on her, it slowly turns into a development between both middle school kids and their relationship with each other. While Nishikata tried different kind of ways to get back at Takagi he actually goes on to try to improve his body and mind as well. Constantly doing pushups throughout the series in an ...
