    Amazing, deserves much better than the 7 it got

    Who even knows why this show is rated in the 7s?? What???

    It's insanely cute and funny. So funny and sweet and wholesome. I would dare to say that among slice of life's and romance shows, this is one of a kind. You won't experience anything else like it. It's not a show you can just watch in the background. You'll be glued to the screen.

    It is somewhat short and simple, as people have said, but for what it was, it's definitely a 10. It may not be your favorite or your top 10, but you will be so happy you watched it. So good that I had to write a review about it.

    I've seen all of the best animes and a large handful of romance/comedies. Trust me, this one stands out. Don't worry about the rating. Please do yourself this favor. I'm honestly the most picky watcher. This is a must-see. Period.

    Really good anime

    (Review of the 1st season. However, manga doesn't lose any quality as it goes on, so this can be applied to other seasons as well.) I normally don't watch anime if it's not on TV, but i decided to make an exception this time. I went to this anime expecting only the best and I was not dissapointed. The story is about boy named Nishikata trying to not get teased by his friend Takagi, and tease her at the same time. This seemingly mean spirited and unfunny concept leads to one of the most adorable and funniest shows I have ever seen. Show is structured in such a way, that leaves place for both humor and character development. The chemistry between two main characters is undeniable and despite them being boy and girl, there is not love struck in such a way, that you would expect it to be. The characters go through big changes and the final episode is really heartbreaking. When talking about side characters, they are really funny and well written as well. Even if you don't like anime, this show is worth watching and will probably change your mind.

    a funny middle school romance

    I had just finished watching this anime yesterday and I have to say it is very cute and fun to watch. Honestly I am usually not really into normal school life type of animes unless if they are something like Charlotte, Angel Beats or Aldnoah Zero (any SciFI) or action animes which are based at school) but after watch this i am very impressed.

    This anime is about a young boy by the anime of Nisikata who is always getting teased by this girl called Takagi and Niskata always tries to get her back but fails miserably. As the show moves on we get to explore the deep side of their relationship. There is also a few segments where they focus on three girls by the name of Yukari, Mina and Sanae.

    The anime may get a little bit repetitive at times but it definitely no where near boring because just like Yo Kai Watch in some ways there are normally a few segments of the show to keep it interesting and it doesn't always focus on one character to become reliant on the whole. Which is a good sign.

    In terms of voice acting for the dub I think it is very good although, there has been controversy going one about their voices sounding deep/mature for their age but in my opinion their voices aren't that bad bare in mind the characters are like 13/14 and normally kids voices do get deeper mainly boys as they get older. Honestly, I watch all of my anime's in english and to me this was normal it at least it is better then having high and annoying voices. It doesn't matter which side it's exactly the same thing it's just pointless and idiotic comparing both languages at the end of the say. However, I did watch an episode in subbed and I honestly, thought the voices sounded too young.

    There is an upcoming OVA which will come out in somewhere in July but that might not have much of an effect on the ending. I might be the odd one out but I actually hope there is a second season because since the manga seems to be ongoing there is plenty of room for more episodes.

    As an overall the anime was fun to watch and sometimes sad especially the last two episode. ***No Spoilers***

    If you want to watch something which is very cute, has no swearing but still has few mature themes I would recomand this anime.

    Romantic but Hilarious: The kilig moments from Soichiro Yamamoto's sensational magnum opus

    Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san (English: Skilled Teaser Takagi-san) is widely recognized as the "magnum opus" or masterpiece by the notable mangaka Soichiro Yamamoto who has a smart idea to create a story about a teenage girl named Takagi-san teases and pranks a boy which is her seatmate and close friend named Nishikata. Nishikata is known for devising a plan for Takagi-san with the use of pranks whether he would win or lose but unfortunately, he lost. Due to this, the rule of their games is "If you blush, you lose" which has been a running gag of the show. The show is actually interesting along with the trio of girls named Mina, Yukari, and Sanae who are just doing something to their classmates or Nishikata and Takagi-san. Most of the episodes are definitely hilarious with some parts that are "nakaka-kilig" or "romantic". The anime couple Nishikata and Takagi-san is more similar to the KathNiel (Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla), JaDine (Nadine Lustre and James Reid), and LizQuen (Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano) where they are considered widely popular by the fans.

    Anyway, this show has generated a huge number of followers not only from Japan but also in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines. The Philippines has been an "anime capital of Southeast Asia" due to the country's endless appreciation to anime and Japanese culture. Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san continues to be a sensation in Japan as well as in the Philippines.

    I praised the animation, the story, the characters, and the development of the characters' personalities in which this anime continues to be a great suggestion to watch to the community of anime lovers.

    • Trivia
      After bouncing from Funimation to Netflix, Season 3 was picked up by Sentai Filmworks and was streamed on HiDive. Their Dub featured some of the Original Voice Actors from Funimation's Dub (Including Sarah Widenheft & Aaron Desmuke in the Main Roles), though some Roles had to be Recast a Third time. For example, Mina has a different Voice in each Dub, being played by Leah Clark, Cassandra Morris & Maggie Flecknoe in each respective season.
