Review of Teasing Master Takagi-san
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 italso includes short moments of three other girls who are in the same class: Mina, Yukari and Sanae. That’s basically it. But I do love the story between two young middle schoolers enjoying their young youth at their school/outside of school. “You blush, you lose” - Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2018
Now towards the Art — Rating: 10
I absolutely adore the art. It’s beautiful, cute, bright and colorful. The character designs on each character really suit what type of character they are and are absolutely cute (but seriously surprised on how the arts differentiate between the manga and anime, well at least for a few chapters of it. But I do suggest reading the manga too). The tv cover art is what made me attracted towards this show and made me want to watch it of its innocence, childish-plays and very happy themed. In my opinion I think this show did a very good job incorporating those aspects towards this show.
Next, is the Sound — Rating: 10
I ABSOLUTELY looooooove the sound and music incorporated because of how happy each sound/song has been well used in different scenes and it really suits the theme of the anime. You know why I say that? Because all the sounds/music that has been used in this have really made it worthy to be incorporated onto this anime. The musics, oh god, I am absolutely in love with both the Opening Theme Song and the Ending Theme Songs (there are 7 Ending Songs). But my most favorite out of the 7 Ending Themes are the 2nd, 6th and the 7th one. I won’t go in depth on why they are my absolutely favorite, but, I suggest you find out yourselves why and I RECOMMEND to never skip the Opening and the Endings, you will not regret skipping them. Lastly I want to say is that the use of the sounds and musics give me a sense of nostalgia, refreshment and relaxing listening all the sounds and musics. But yeah, don’t skip the songs. :D
Now, the Characters — Rating: 10
Hmm... The characters were rather unique as far as I have seen in anime. I’ll firstly talk about Nishikata. Nishikata is a rather sweet, funny, and a gentleman character. But some of the times in the show made me say “Niiiiishiiikaaataa, why would you do that?” Or “Just, why..?” But these things were said in a good way and not a negative way because this is one of those shows where you want the character to do that and do that etc. Now I’ll talk about Takagi. Probably my newest favorite waifu at the moment. You know why? Because she is just a heartwarming, honest and cute character. There’s absolutely nothing you can complain about her character but just to enjoy her smiles and laughters when teasing Nishikata. Lastly I’ll talk about the 3 girls: Mina, Yukari and Sanae. Their shorts were fun to watch as they live out their life. Not much to say, but just to watch them. BTW #NishikataXTakagi <3
Probably the shortest one out of the other categories, my Enjoyment — Rating: 10
Man, I’ve absolutely enjoyed each and every one of the episodes watching as they live their life as middle high school students. I’ve DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY, and DEFINITELY enjoyed this show! :D
Overall — Rating: 10
Out of all that I have said, I’m giving this a SOLID full 10. If you guys don’t agree then you don’t have to agree with me but it’s what I think personally so I’m completely fine if you disagree with my statements. But I will miss this show for sure and I’ll probably rewatch it again.
But I do hope for a Season 2 for this :) (Probably won’t happen but I hope).
