This was the first anime I saw, but first I saw its second season, I thought the anime world was meaningless, but when I saw this anime I started to obsess over this wonderful world. I started learning Japanese and I'm going to live in Tonosho, Japan.
I did not know what otaku means, and I discovered that I became one, unfortunately in my country they do not sell sleeves.
Every time I get bored I watch this anime, which is my favorite and I consider the best.
Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an
otaku in secret.

Perhaps the story gets a bit repetitive after a while, though the cuteness more or less makes up for it. Just some clean fun.

This should make for nice, light-hearted watch.

So it's basically Takagi-san: Humiliation is War, expect main guy can't ever win lmao

I immediately thought "How could he fall for cheap tricks like that" but he is in middle school after all so it's actually quite believable. Takagi is just too mischievous to him in the end. Great first episode, I like the comedy.

What a cute anime, The OP fits like a childish theme in from the start and it's quite good, Gosh their forehead is massive and I like the character design especially for Takagi which is cute

Oh these playful tricks that Takagi does to Nishikata, She doesn't fail to tease Nishikata every day even if Nishikata is the one teasing her she teases Nishikata instead

How the turntables which I would say every time Nishikata attempts to tease Takagi, But that eraser was a 50-50 to say the least.

A hella decent first episode.

Really made me chuckle a few times.

Well if Nishikata had turned the other side of the eraser then this series would have come to an end way too soon lol.

Takagi-san is so cute.

Why do I feel that Nishikata would never be able to tease Takagi-san?

Also the 3 girls are a fun trio lol. The cheerful girl's eyebrows remind of Rengoku's face.

I love it! Nishitaka's insecurity is a fun load of entertainment, and the cunning Takagi is so entertaining to watch as she slowly wheels this guy in. As a huge fan of 'Ah! My Goddess' I can easily forgive the slow development of their young love, AMG took two decades to marry it's leads and supposedly the Takagi spin-off manga confirms these two as a long term item/family in the future.

Yeah the vignette structure of the stories is great sometimes it jumps to the girls and then back to Takagi/Nishitaka and later on in the series the way they overlap is great too.

This is some quality teasing, is fun and lighthearted. Takagi san is cute and Nishikata's reactions are good too.

So its confirmed in first episode itself that Takagi san likes Nishikata xD. These two's chemestry is indeed nice. Excited to see more of them.

Don't even think about comparing this with Nagatoro, this is loads better than the Nagatoro's snooze fest.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

Was thinking for a while starting this one, and yeah can't be a much better time than this. Already loving Kaji Yuki x Takahashi Rie performance in this one. Also Takagi just owning Nishikata every single time, damn dude has to work hard here or this will never end lol.

Nice despite turning around the two protagonists, a small hand however also comes from the secondary characters, the three girls, they are very nice to me. The narration, despite the slow pace, flows more than well and without getting bored, moreover the vision is pleasant even if at first I imagined quite the opposite, thank goodness! Quite good quality of the drawings, the rest is satisfactory.

I had to start this anime as soon as it came out, then who knows why I haven't seen it anymore, maybe I was bored of ranting every time an episode has to come out, as happens with new anime, perhaps. XDXDXD

Warning: Spoilers
While at first sight this series seem to be a sweet comedy, the more I watch it, the more I realize the theme of endurance and sorrow is also buried in the depths of this series, in the most cheerful character Takagi-san.

Let us try reviewing this series from takagi's point of view. Through a few times of teasing, takagi san in fact realizes that she likes nishikata, which she knew she couldn't abruptly propose to him, nor waiting for a guy as shy as nishikata to actively approach her. Therefore, she planned a series of events and action in order to have more time spent with nishikata. Helping him with his day duties, walking home with him despite of having a bike, buying him a drink when he is broke, helping him with mathematics, spending summer vacation together everyday for bicycle-riding ... not to forget sacrificing part of her swimming lesson to accompany him. Takagi actually has done a lot to increase her time spent with nishikata, and these are not the usual stunts that a girl should pull. She knew her actions would raise a lot of eyebrows from her friends, but she was aware that this is the price she must pay in order to get better terms with nishikata. Takagi's time spent with nishikata brings her happiness, which makes her put her reputation aside (Takagi once told nishikata the classmates think it was takagi who likes nishikata because it is always her asking him out) and play the active role in a relationship. (The time when she purposely lost to nishikata in rock-scissors-paper to help him clean the classrom)

Takagi deep down is very sensitive like other girls. But in order to approach nishikata she put away her ego, suppressed her negative emotions and always wear a smile on her face like she couldn't care less. For instance, the calligraphy arc. She knew that at second try nishikata would write something mean to insult her, therefore she pulled a trick beforehand to tease him and leave his insult ineffective. To us readers this is just another win for takagi, but for her, she might just want to escape from nishikata's criticism on her. Takagi is just a normal girl that could break down on a reject from her crush, hence her stunts to make nishikata embarrassed by saying awkward things (this is also portrayed at the two-choice-question arc). Another example of takagi san turning the tables on nishikata expressing his dislike on her is the sketching arc. When takagi saw nishikata's witch-like drawing of her, we can tell how hurt she was and she even took a moment to suppress her feelings. But shortly after, she pulled a funny face on nishikata, pointing out that he could make it worse, and acted like she couldn't care less. Later in the episode, nishikata slipped his mouth and said that he rejected his friends invitation to play Fierce-Soccer because he wanted to walk home with takagi. At that instant, we all could tell how touched takagi was from her stunned expression. However, the warm feeling was let down by nishikata, saying that he just want to land his "critical strike" on teasing her. Takagi smiled at it, teasing him to say it again for her to forget, but nishikata just embarrassingly ran way. The last scene was caught on Takagi's expression, on how she tried so hard holding back her tears.

Takagi spent so much effort to get along with nishikata, and she just wanted him to appreciate her a little, or show a little concern or affection. Sadly for her, at the point, she got no response from him. That is why she almost broke down at the end of episode 11. However at the last episode, takagi finally got back her confidence and happiness when she saw nishikata attempting to sit beside her. To her, that might be the second best gift. Then what's the best gift? You may ask. Undoubtedly, the best gift is the thank-you-note wrapped in the handkerchief! The reason this simple word could bring her so much joy is that this note expresses nishikata's appreciation and affection to her, meaning that nishikata feels lucky to have her as his friend. She squeals into her pillow out of excitement as she knows all her effort and commitment has paid off. And that is all she wanted from him :)

This show ain't no ordinary romance anime about how a boy and a girl's fate converge and fall for each other and live happily ever after. Rather, this show effectively portrays the mind of a teenage girl, trying desperately to bring her and her crush's fate together, at all cost. This element makes this show realistic, empathizing, and beautifully bittersweet. People watch this series while focusing on how nishikata likes takagi but is not aware. But for me I think the character who deserves more attention is Takagi. I personally have so many feels watching this series as my emotions go up and down with Takagi's. I felt at ease with nishikata beside her and felt so bitter when takagi manages to pull out a smile when nishikata expresses his dislike towards her. Takagi is a sensitive and courageous girl I admire so much, and this series subtly but perfectly portrayed her state of mind. By the way I think this show already had a perfect ending and as much as I would like to see more of Nishikata and Takagi together, I think a season 2 is unnecessary and would spoil the feelings I have for it.

despite a troubled history of availability (Crunchyroll has season 1 with original language, Netflix has season 2 with italian dub just for it and for no apparent reason at all, season 3 i can't remember but somewhere else again) ... i'll give it a try, probably not watching it too often.

it's already easy to realize how this is going to proceed, he will never win etc. etc. but at the same time if she never becomes too cruel, it can be fine.
