Review of Teasing Master Takagi-san

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.While there's nothing exceptional about the art and animation, the anime has been drawn with plenty of love and care. And it shows in the many character interactions in the show.

== Story: 7/10 ==

Every interaction Nishikata and Takagi share feels like they're getting closer to each other, and it's very endearing to watch. With lots of moments that continually flesh out their relationship, it's hard to say that the show doesn't have a story, or there is no character development/progression.

If anything, their relationship probably feels more real and believable than the ones in traditional romcoms.

== Characters: 7.5/10 ==

Nishikata and Takagi have great chemistry with each other. Yes, they react to each other in entertaining ways, but simply watching them hang out is a wholesome and fulfilling experience in of itself.

The background characters don't get a lot of screentime, but the show has done a good job incorporating them in various scenes so it feels like these kids are inhabiting a fun and lively world.

== Enjoyment: 7.5/10 ==

Because Nishikata and Takagi hog most of the show's spotlight, your enjoyment will be heavily dependent on whether you like them or not. The easiest way to find out is to just watch an episode and find out for yourself, as the reasons I like them could easily be the reasons you hate them.

Otherwise yeah, I clearly got a lot out of a show just about two kids teasing each other.
