The anime adaptation of Takagi San is pretty good. I would have preferred that the voice actors were younger, but the overall execution of each chapter is well done. The gags Takagi puts up still make me smile and chuckle. The slower pacing of the anime allows me to relax and enjoy Takagi-San, while also not having too much tension when it comes to Nishikata's thinking process. I think there is enough overall stimulation for everyone to like the two main characters.

I just watched with official subs and all I can say is... I loved it! I don't think an episode of anime has ever been able to keep a smile on my face for the entire episode! I don't want to write a real review of it since it's only been one episode, so here's my condensed version:

Story - They picked the more "standard" chapters from the manga to adapt in the first episode, which is what I expected them to do.

Animation - I don't think it has a huge budget, but it certainly gets the job done. The scenery looks really nice though.

Sound - The opening and ending are great, and even the background music was pleasant and noteworthy.

Characters - Like many others have said, the chemistry is great.

Enjoyment - I adored it. Enough said.

So yeah, I'm definitely going to watch all of it! It portrays the manga wonderfully!

And a quick question from someone who doesnt care about spoilers, will they enter a relationship at some point if so will we see it in the anime??

i'm gonna be short. I'm a big fan of the manga; Liked the adaptation; found a little slow paced (almost getting bored because not only being the same scenario, i read the manga recently); i really think it could be better if the show was a little more creative with their reactions, just like shaft do with shows like sayonara zetsubou sensei or monogatari; i think the show could be better if it was in the hands of kyoto animation and Yamada Naoko.

But enjoyed what i've seen, looking foward for sakuga over the top animation.

Finally! great start, really a big fan of this manga!
Now if only
"Grand Blue" and "Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen"
gets their well deserved adaptation too.

Seems some people are complaining about this being 24mints long, I for one welcome it, you can never go wrong with more Takagi san.

It reminds me of Tonari no Seki-kun a bit. It contains 4 short stories in one ep. Is it just me, or Takagi-san pisses me off somehow (while Nishikata cares too much about his pride about get back on Takagi-san, who is not worthy of care for). Right at first ep. the three characters from "spin-off" is here. I might marathon it later.

I didn't expect the animation to be this good. It's super expressive and almost constantly moving fluidly. Yuki kaji's performance sounds like how he voiced koiichi in jojo's part 4, which is good. I just hope this won't get too repetitive and that they'll manage to come up with fresh gags for the whole season.

The anime definitely improved the art, I dropped the manga when I first saw it (2015 I think), I felt kinda insulted on the one-sided winning streak of teasing, but now, after watching the episode, it was definitely worth to watch and read, but I'll stick to the anime and I'll just read the manga after the season ends.

I don't usually watch such cutesy shows, but this one somehow caught my attention (maybe it's the animation because I gotta admit it's pretty well done).

After watching this episode I'm afraid it's going be too repetitive though – 24 minutes for such content is a bit tiring. But even though I haven't read the manga yet, I trust you, the ones who are so enthusiastic about it, and I'll give this series a shot. Hopefully it will be worth watching.

Ah, yes, middle school. Takes me back. My relationship with girls was at its worst. I got framed for sexual harassment, scarring me from ever trusting a human female ever. I couldn't talk to any of my crushes. All the girls ignored me. It was when I learned that that was the time when girls went from adorable and innocent to cold, teasing, cruel, and emotionally scarring beings.

So I really relate to the main character.
There hasn't been a comedy anime that uses teasing humour like this, yet. Even though this didn't make me laugh, I like how the humour is more down-to-earth, than just the characters screaming a lot.

@Kyoris

Yeah, I feel like this anime should've been 4 minute shorts.

Yeah I do wonder whats taking em so long to make Grand Blue or Kaguya into an anime. Also Neverland.
Hopefully 2018 all these three or atleast one of em will get an anime.

aw man i really wanted to like this, the art is so cute :( i just couldn't help but be irritated though. i don't feel as if i was given any reason to like the girl other than the fact that she looks cute. she just comes across as quite smug to me... idk i just don't enjoy this dynamic at all. :/

on top of that it was hard to enjoy when i constantly had to suspend my disbelief - the idea that the guy can NEVER, EVER get his own back on her, or that the teacher magically never hears or notices her also goofing around.

idk i know it's just a slice of life/romcom so it's Not That Deep but it was too irritating for me.

Let me assure you, if it's anything like the manga, it won't be getting old. The characters have such great chemistry that any situation they're in will never be boring. I've read the manga, and was so invested that I read 70 chapters in one night. I don't regret it.

Believe it or not, there is some development. It won't be anything major, but heartwarming nevertheless.

VERY slight spoilers, nothing specific though:



However, I do believe that it's still worth watching. I've read the manga, and there are still plenty of twists and turns ahead. There will be situations that these characters will be put in that you won't expect.

The scenarios you saw them in today were rather basic. The majority of today's episode was based on earlier chapters. The later chapters were much more charming and funny (not to say the beginning was bad).

I'd say to still give it a chance. Also, there will be some (albeit slight and very minor) development that will ultimately lead to some heartwarming moments that you won't want to miss.

I had no expectations going into this because I practically didn't know anything about it. I had read the synopsis and the PV a while ago but I had forgotten what the anime was about.

This episode was a lot of fun to watch. The jokes, they're predictable but they always make you smile. The character chemistry between Nishikata and Takagi is on point. This should be a nice show.

As someone with absolutely zero knowledge or expectations going in, I'm extremely delighted that I chose to watch this.

Thanks! This show won't be getting much attention this season, because of how niche it is (although it is the 5th most anticipated show this season in Japan itself), so I want to spread the word and convince people to watch it as much as possible!

Ah, so great to see this in anime form as well. ^_^

Kaji fits Nishikata surprisingly well. Takahashi may sound a little too soft for Takagi, though, but there were moments in the last part where she sounded quite nice for the part as well. May take some time to get used to her voice, but not too bad either.

Thought both sounded a bit different from what I had in mind but yeah probably could have been better if it was shorter since it can quickly grow repetitive. Wish they would adapt chapter 31 tho.

This was quite amusing show and great start for first episode. So many priceless moments! MC kinda reminds me of Makabe's role (of last year's masamune kun no revenge show) but here we get to see against much perfect manipulative heroine!

However I am quite surprise to see its 24 minute length. I think 15 min would been appropriate since its majorly focused on two main characters and later some joke 'might' get repetitive (since its just making blush jokes so far).

Btw the teacher looks too badass XD

This is a pretty adorable show, the thing is for it's run as an anime it's probably just going to be like this every episode, which is fine because it's funny, but I'm not really expecting a lot of character progression. But I may be wrong, and honestly I hope I'm wrong
