Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2

Okay, I'll be honest, I'm almost impressed. Some of this anime made me like "That's cute!". But some are just like "Why couldn't you add that?". In short, This anime wasn't perfect. Story: A Solid 7 Plot is simple, a girl teases a boy she likes, and the boy always fails to get back on her teasing. But it much wholesome to the point where it made you smiled all the time. The premise of this anime is just to make you smile, and it did. But i just can't shake my head because the plot is good, it lacks PLOT TWIST. In my own perspective every story needs a plot twist, even slice of life. It made good use of the plot to play with your emotions and feelings. In this anime case, THERE'S NONE. Just a wholesome, boring same plot about the two characters teasing, that's all. Don't expect more. But at least there's a character development about becoming close to each other. Overall, I wish there was a plot twist and more than just teasing, but it's very funny and cute. Art: A Questionable 7 I don't really like the art, it's just kinda plain. Most of it just a simple art, no beautiful light effect, no real shadowing, no naturalism, and no complex characters. Although some of it looks good. But the reason that is questionable is because....i kinda liked it? It's very simple and clean looking. But i just wish that it made more graphics and art style like latest animes. Sound and Music: A Perfect 10. Jeez...like...this anime is filled with one of the most BEAUTIFUL music that is ever made. The opening song is on point, Yuiko Oohara definitely done a very good job on that. The ending songs by Rie Takahashi? Gorgeous. These EQ sounds very complex and fantastic, like the cellos or guitars. Pianos and Drums, and the other symphonic instruments, and the angelic songs of these two people, has made one of the most beautiful songs ever. The OST? Very relaxing. It fits so well with the anime and i will shake my head to think that this has one of the most beautiful and relaxing music EVER. Character: A solid 8. There are two characters and a some side character. Nishikata: The main protagonist that always lost to his rival, Takagi. He often embarrassed and flushed right after he got teased by Takagi. he seemed very oblivious to like Takagi. So about Nishikata, i just thought that he could be better. He's a good character who seems to care about Takagi and his family and friends. But his idiotic and shyness made him seems an unlikable character. But i do like his motivational to do push up every time Takagi teases him, that's good. So overall i will give Nishikata a solid 8. Takagi: Takagi is the female lead who just teases Nishikata all the time and secretly loves him to bits. She uses her brain power to read Nishikata's mind and uses it to backfire him every. single. time. The real reason that i like Nishikata better it's because she's more of a drag than a character. She always tease Nishikata multiple times a day, and that could made him insane, however seems that his mental is REALLY powerful. And Takagi is coward, she uses all of her teasing to give an affection to Nishikata. Why can't she just admit and confessed to him immediately? She's also sometimes can be mean to Nishikata, like forcing him to buy a juice. But not all of them is negative! She's extremely adorable, like REALLY ADORABLE. Her voice by Rie made her having such a cute voice and probably....quite angelic. She's also really nice to Nishikata sometimes, and cares him very very deeply. But overall, i just think Takagi is an OK character. Solid 7. The side Characters: A solid 7. Mina, Yukari, Sanae is just there for funny goofs and friendship times. Takao, Kimura, and the others were just there to help the main Characters to became each other or something like that. But overall i just think that it didn't need characters like this, but at least it made the story more lively. A solid 7. Overall Characters: It could be better. If it was Takagi became less confident and Nishikata smarter and not easily flushed, it will made the story more balanced. Enjoyment: A Good 9. Yes. I enjoy this anime. It made you really happy and think about the world in a very different way. This anime is very recommended for all that's having anxiety, depression, or PTSD. It made you to think that the world is not always meant to turn against you, you will always have each other to love, live, and laugh. This anime will deliver a happy and fuzzy feelings about to became much better person and a new level of wholesomeness. It made you happy, and what's even better that the message this anime gives is very implied with the story itself. A Good 9. And that brings me to 5 annoying things about this anime! 1: You like all the songs and want a physical album? Or the Takagi merch that you dreamed? Well guess what? It's only available in japan, darn it. 2: The new season takes ages to develop, One and a half year! So all you gotta do...is wait. 3: There is a Takagi dating simulator app that's available on App store and google play, but yet again IT'S ONLY AVAILABLE IN JAPAN! It's like they want you to be part of the Japanese people! 4: The first season dub, they didn't add any honorifics to the character, which made it more natural to every people, and i do like it! But For some reason the Season 2 dub added the honorifics like Takagi-san, or Nishikata-kun. That's....very Unintentional. 5: Takagi-san developers made a Takagi VR game, sadly it sucked. Don't worry, there's a few cool things to make all of this up. Here's five. 1: The writer took inspiration from the real Japan world and adapt it on the anime, That's cool! It's like...Takagi is from the real world! 2: Even i didn't like the honorifics, i just thought that the new voice actor is much better than the first one. 3: You want Nishikata to tease Takagi? Well then, head over to "LEGOF"s Channel and watch as Yuuki Kaji (Nishikata's VA) destroys Rie Takahashi! (Takagi's VA). There's also some really cool games that they're playing over there. Go watch it! 4: You like the three characters? Well there's a full manga only about the story of Mina, Yukari, and Sanae. 5: Do you want to see the two character fate 10 years later? Just go ahead and watch the "Moto" Manga. It is as wholesome as the main series. So what's my final verdict on "Teasing Master Takagi-san?" Should you....Avoid it? Should you....Consider watching it? Should you....Shortlisted it? Or...just go right ahead and watch it? Overall: Well....if you like a slice of life anime and romance anime that is pretty darn wholesome filled with cute characters, or just simply watching it because you had a depression and mental issues? GO RIGHT AHEAD AND WATCH IT! It's fantastic anime for you. However if you expected this anime to be amazing, filled with good story and animations, and plot twist? Well....SHORTLIST IT! Right now...maybe not right now, but soon enough...they will improve..hopefully...and it's a good anime for all of you! So Teasing Master Takagi-san was a really good anime. I enjoyed my time to watch this anime and i just can't stand the fact this anime is one of my favourites. But yet again, it's not perfect and the story could be a little bit bette, and perhaps the characters. But it is funny, cute and very wholesome. So? What's the score from me? A Very Good 8. It almost impressed me!

Solid continuation of Karakai Jouzo no Takagi-san The continuation focused a bit more on romance and other sidecharacters, which was pretty enjoyable, but Nishikata and Takagi got most of the screentime obviously The OP and ED were pretty good and the OSTs in the last ep were really cunning too. Great music! Well the art stayed pretty much the same as in season 1 so not much to say about it. Some animations looked a bit awkward but it was acceptable most of the time Anyone who enjoyed season 1 should definitely check out season 2, they made a good job featuring other character and the romance development, while not cutting lose on the teasing bits, which were wholesome to watch Overall a solid continuation of Karakai Jouzo no Takagi-san. 8/10

More of the same, for better or worse. Story: 5 It very much lives up to its “slice of life” tag, as there isn’t much, at least in the way of progress, of an overarching story. It’s mostly made up of these little “battles” Takagi and Nishikata have. So if you are hoping for significant progress on the romance front, you might end up let down. They did try to include some of the other characters’ day-to-day lives with moderate success, but again, it rarely added to the bigger story. Art: 6 The character designs can be hit-or-miss for people with their oversized eyes and noggins. Personally, I don’t hate it, but to each their own. The animation surely will not blow anyone away, which shouldn’t be a surprise. As usual, Nishikata is flustered quite easily, and it’s those expressions that probably the highlight of this category. But, like I said, nothing particularly spectacular overall. Sound: 8 Rie Takahashi continues to deliver a great performance for Takagi. Sweet, sarcastic, and just a little smug. She really nails it. Yuki Kaji is again solid as Nishikata. Both the hopeful “this is the day I win!” and the baffled “how did she defeat me again?” moments really come through. Konami Kohara is also really funny as Mina. The OP and ED are both pretty good, especially the former. The “Zero Senchimētoru” line in the OP definitely got stuck in my head. Character: 8 The core of the show still remains Takagi and Nishikata, and if you didn’t like them in season 1, I doubt you’ll change your mind now. Personally, I found them mostly endearing. Takagi is clearly the standout character. Her quick wit and understated smugness are still the #1 reason to continue watching. Like I mentioned, they made a real effort to include some other characters. The “eyebrows girl”, Mina, definitely had the most personality among the side characters. She took advantage of the screen time she was given, and might’ve ended up becoming my second favorite character in the show after Takagi. Enjoyment: 8 Even though it was not anything new, I did still enjoy watching season 2. Takagi is brilliant again, and their mind games usually had some entertainment value to me. And there was just barely enough signs of progression to keep me interested. Overall: 7 If you liked season 1, you’ll probably like season 2, unless that deja vu feeling is too strong. It was by no means a stand out show for me this season, but it’s not as if I didn’t enjoy tuning in once a week to see how Takagi triumphs over Nishikata yet again.

Story - 6/10 Unsurprising score since the story isn't really the main focus of the show, but there was a kinda clear read thread in this season so there is that. Art - 9/10 Well drawn flowy animations, never anything groundbreaking or any sakuga shots but how would anything in this kind of show warrant that kind of extreme animation? Just a few times when zoomed out faces were wierd. Sound - 8/10 Wierd thing to praise, but Takagi has the least offensive over the top giggle of any anime character I've heard, which is good since she giggles quite a lot. Other voice actors do a great job as well and the music is very good, but not super good. Solid 8 Character - 8/10 Most characters are very one-dimensional, though there is some development of the main duo throughout and the one-dimensional personalities they otherwise do have are entertaining. Enjoyment - 9/10 The show puts a smile on my face and makes my heart feel warm and fuzzy Overall - 9/10 There were times when an 8/10 was tempting and (fewer) times when a 10/10 felt warrented, overall i think that "lower" 9/10 is the best spot for the show, not that there is such a thing as "lower" or "higher" X/10 but still

The second season of Teasing Master Takagi-san is a perfect continuation of what was established in the first season. Season two begins right after the events of the previous season as if there was no gap at all. You could smash these two seasons together and be none the wiser. It's really that seamless. The first season was already the best at what it does, and yet the second season refines and improves in every way over the first season. There's still no plot to speak off and the sporadic episodic nature of the storytelling is mostly the same however the writers do a much better job of establishing and forming a loose continuity here in the second season. It's much clearer in this season that events are flowing one after another and in one continual direction. Characters tend to mention previous events and/or foreshadow future ones while also more often intersecting with one another. This greatly helps with the feeling of progression and development that was all but nonexistent in the original season. Speaking of development, the romance factor is much higher here. In fact, I would say the entire second season is primarily focused on the romance side of this romcom. There's such a clear and profound progression of romantic tension between our leads that by the midpoint of the season it becomes increasingly and blindly obvious that it's building to some romantic climax. The teasing gradually stops being silly, fun, and creative and more or less about expressing feelings to one another in an indirect but certainly explicit way. Takagi is NOT subtle about what she wants and by the latter third or so of the season she is done pretending to be just his friend and classmate. Takagi drops all pretense of ambiguity and shame and just straight up transitions to outright blatant flirting which our beloved dense headed protagonist interprets as her setting traps for him but in reality, she is 100% being earnest with him. She becomes quite aggressive in her advancements as the latter half of the season progresses which for me was very entertaining to see. Takagi is practically PLEADING for him to acknowledge her by the end. As was the case in the first season this is an aggressively cute, sweet, and pure season of anime. There's absolutely no lust, lewdness, or innuendo to be found here. There's no drama, conflict, nor romantic rivals of any kind. This is an innocent wholesome story between two middle school kids discovering love in their own awkward and silly way. Do not go into this if you think romantic development means physicality because frankly you lack the emotional intelligence to enjoy the story trying to be told here. Save your time and move on. For those who enjoy cute and wholesome romance stories this is an absolute must watch. 10/10

The transition from the first to the second season is incredible, the first was a good season but being the first it was slower and there were not as many scenes with the two protagonists alone and with "indirect" things that in the second season there are and plenty and that gives a lot of fun to the series. Takagi-san takes center stage in this anime because he is a 10/10 character, but Nishikata is well-crafted and gets better and better as the seasons come out. All of this makes you hype up and you can't stop watching it. In my opinion it is one of the most calming, fun, entertaining and funny animes that there are in romance and all that together makes it one of my favorites and one of the best romances that I have seen. El paso de la primera a la segunda temporada es increíble, la primera fue una buena temporada pero al ser la primera era mas lenta y no había tantas escenas con los dos protas solos y con "indirectas" cosa que en la segunda temporada si hay y de sobra y eso le da mucha diversión a la serie. Takagi-san se lleva todo el protagonismo de este anime porque es un personaje 10/10 pero Nishikata esta bien trabajado y va siendo cada vez mejor conforme van saliendo las temporadas. Todo eso hace que te suba el hype y no puedas dejar de verla. En mi opinión es de los animes mas tranquilizadores, divertidos, entretenidos y graciosos que hay en el romance y todo ese conjunto hace que para mi sea uno de mis favoritos y de los mejores romances que he visto.

Watching middle school kids deal with their developing romantic feelings is adorable. It's obvious from an outsider perspective that these two like each other, but one is too oblivious of even his own feelings to do anything while the other is having too much fun teasing to admit hers. I think the moments where Takagi shows some actual shyness are some of the best, especially when you have hours of her usual smug attitude to compare against. I think where we left off the season is enough of a high point that I would have been fine if that was just where it had ended, but obviously they've got more to tell still so here's hoping they manage to keep it fresh and not just retread a lot of the same ground. I think they did an okay job of keeping the status quo this time around while maintaining an illusion of character growth, it's a fine line that slice of life series have to walk if they want to run for a long time. 8/10 still cute and fun to watch

Good sequels are hard to come across, and often times they don’t often live up to the expectations of the original, whether it’s because it feels too similar, or making it so bad that it heavily tarnishes the image the original had due to thoughtless planning. So in that respect, how does one define a good sequel? A good sequel continues the story but in a new meaningful way, by expanding more than what the original offered. Introducing new characters, settings, and conflicts are generally what sequels tend to do, but a good sequel also adds another layer to their storytelling by introducing new themes and/or expanding on older themes, to give the story a much more nuanced look. Finally, the sequel has to leave a positive impact on the franchise, because that’s what makes a good series worth the time investing towards. Takagi-San Season 2 manages to hit the marks on how a good sequel should be perceived, and this review will mainly focus on how it manages to improve over the first season. Expanding the Setting: Season 2 introduces 2 new characters to the series being Houjou and Hamaguchi. In terms of importance, we do see they have some sort of chemistry going on, so it’s refreshing to see another couple on the screen that’s not Takagi and Nishikata or Nakai and Mano. There’s more interactions with the side characters, and Season 2 manages to naturally integrate them into the storyline, making it feel more lifelike and dynamic. There’s also new locations in Season 2 that weren’t present in Season 1, some of which are seen as important when it comes to certain moments in the series, but I will not spoil them here. The art and animation also received an upgrade as it manages to become more expressive with its use of body language, which is a great way of showcasing non verbal communication. The soundtrack of the series retains the multiple ending songs (having 8) and an insert song that left a lasting impression. Continuing The Story: Season 2 at first glance may seem like it’s largely the same as the first season. Nishikata attempting to tease Takagi, but failing in the process, and the occasional B-trio plot segments. However, Season 2 continues the story by giving a more cohesive storyline that focuses on the natural progression of Takagi and Nishikata’s relationship that’s continued from Season 1 and how it’s developed in Season 2. The first thing Season 2 does is shifting the focus of genres. Season 1 focused on the comedy/SOL aspect where Takagi and Nishikata are in the starting stages of establishing a relationship. In Season 2, the romance becomes the main focus, as the audience is already familiarized with their relationship, so the story starts focusing on closing the distance between the two characters. The romance becomes much more apparent, which leads to not only story and character progression, but it makes the dynamic feel more engaging as there are moments here that significantly change the way the two perceive each other. Another thing Season 2 does that’s an improvement, is integrating the B-trio plots to the main story plots. One of the criticisms most people have with the series, is that the B-trio plots don’t really serve anything to move the plot forward, and are often disregarded as filler that could of been used to develop Takagi and Nishikata’s relationship. Even though some of those plot lines still occur in Season 2, there are times where the B-trio are directly involved with the main plots, which makes them much more engaging characters as we get a third person perspective on Takagi and Nishikata’s relationship. Other characters such as Kimura, Takao, Mano, Nakai, Houjou, and Hamaguchi also start to become aware of their relationship, and become directly involved in pushing Takagi and Nishikata to do certain actions and reevaluate their way of thinking. Finally, Season 2’s biggest factor when it comes to continuing the story, is the addition of anime original content. To an anime only, they might not notice this, but to a source material viewer, this is huge. With most animes, they tend to follow the source material, occasionally making a few rearrangements to fit the story into one normal length episode/season. However, the Takagi manga doesn’t follow an overarching storyline, and most of its chapters are relatively standalone since they have little to no continuity between them. This gives the anime much more leeway of choosing which chapters to adapt, making a few rearrangements such as adding continuity, to give the story an overarching feel. This is different to when an anime adapts a source material with an overarching storyline, as cutting certain chapters or dialogue can make important scenes feel less meaningful when there is missing context. In Takagi’s case, the anime and manga feel like a separate experience, rather than a faithful adaptation. If one were to ask where they can continue reading the Takagi manga after watching the anime, the best recommendation is to read the manga from the beginning. Season 1 has a couple of anime original moments to give certain scenes extra fluff. However, Season 2 takes it a step further by giving anime original segments/episodes that weren’t present in the manga, which significantly impact the direction the anime takes with its story. It gives a chance for the anime to explore more of Takagi and Nishikata’s relationship as situations and interactions have more creative freedom. Without spoiling too many major plot details, just know that having anime original content present here, is the season’s biggest strength when it comes to continuing the story in new, meaningful ways. Expanding on the Themes of Season 1: In most romance stories, the common theme that’s often explored in relationships is status quo. The questions that are often posed when it comes to this characteristic goes as follows: 1. “How has the relationship changed since the first meeting?” 2. “Has the characters perception of each other changed after spending a significant amount of time together?” 3. “Are the characters willing to, or at least be open, to the idea of changing the status quo?” In Season 1, Nishikata considers Takagi his rival at first, where his main goal is to manage a successful teasing attempt/comeback at her. For Takagi, it’s shown she has a liking towards Nishikata, but doesn’t often show any emotional vulnerability towards him. As the season progresses, Nishikata starts to become subconsciously aware of his feelings for Takagi, and Takagi manages to show a glimpse of emotional vulnerability whenever she’s around Nishikata. For a Season 1 plot line, this is a good way for the audience to be familiarized with their relationship. In Season 2, the two have become comfortable with each other, but their perception towards one another starts to slowly change. Takagi becomes bolder and more daring to how she teases Nishikata, leaving him in a state where he is either in clear acknowledgment or extreme denial. Her emotional vulnerability becomes more apparent, yet still subtle, as it gives the Nishikata and the audience an idea on how she views their current status quo, which is shown more evidently in the season’s major arc in the second half. Nishikata on the other hand, starts to become more consciously aware of his feelings, which in turn affect the decisions he makes, as well to how Takagi reacts to them. While he is still focused on trying to tease Takagi, the actions he does here in Season 2, and later in Season 3, start to show he does genuinely value his relationship with her, and would even go as to sacrificing a win in order to make himself and Takagi happy. Again, without spoiling major details, the development and progression between the two in this season is well paced. It manages to keep a balance between maintaining the status quo, but not straying too far in giving too much progression or not building off/regressing the development the first season laid out. Leaving…

I really love this anime it is really beautiful and realaxing. The tree scene almost made me cry ! I really found that those two became more mature and cute. Also I love how Takagi tries to show her love to nishikita but making it look like she's messing with him. The art is good and cute. The characters really matches and the music is just amazing ! The story is really chill and beautiful cause there's no Drama every body is very nice and funny and that makes me like all the characters. I love and I recommend the anime. I hope there will be a season 3 soon !

tl;dr: A second season that has similar comedy but much better romance. The second season of Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san is both incredibly similar to the first season but also different where it counts. My problem with the first season was that it was too repetitive, in that it felt like it was essentially just a repetition of the same type of comedy again and again without really anything else to help pace it. Said comedy was centered around a boy doing his best not to get teased by a girl but the girl managing to always win out. This was solid enough but it felt like there was simply too much of it without anything else. This season is similar in that for the most part it’s the same comedy as the first season. However, in addition to that, it actually feels like there’s good romance in this season. The first season just never clicked for me on that front but in this season it felt like the two had much stronger puppy love type chemistry and actually had some very clear relationship growth throughout. This makes the comedy much easier to appreciate as it’s better paced. It also makes the random moments they spend together feel more worthwhile as it clearly shows that they holistically are actually leading somewhere and it actually feels like it’s worth getting invested in these characters. That the comedy is the same type as the first season makes it a bit stale, but everything alongside it makes this season feel like a solid improvement over the first season regardless. The art and animation are solid enough. The OP is solid in terms of audio and visuals. There are a bunch of EDs and the first few are just decent, but the later ones do throwbacks both in terms of audio and visuals which works really well. The soundtrack worked really well during some key moments in the last episode, but for the most part wasn’t all that memorable.

*Spoiler warning!* Alright, I only rated season 2 cause for some reason on Netflix it ONLY has season 2, not season 1 for some reason. To start off, the "plot" to the show is pretty basic/repetitive, not that it gets boring. This type of Anime is what I would consider a "comfort" anime, something you can always go back and watch to make yourself happier, or just want to watch something but don't know what. The show consists of light-hearted teasing, and some VERY adorable moments. It's not really a "romance", yet there are some "romantic" fluffy moments between Takagi-san and Nishikata. The art style of the anime is alright, nothing too eye-catching. It's pretty similar to something like Tbhk, just with less detail. Fitting of a comfort Anime though. The personalities aren't very unique but they are adorable. Nishikata gets pretty annoyed with Takagi-san teasing him all the time, but every time he tries to tease her, he fails. And Takagi-san is a master teaser, who LOVES annoying Nishikata. Overall the show is a 7/10 for me. Mainly a simple comfort Anime. But, still god damn adorable! :D

I love this anime and the story is very well told. The 2nd season is also better than the first, although it was already very good. The growing love between the two and that they express their feelings more and more is really nice to see. Please, please give us a 3rd season and even a 4th. I really like to follow the two of them as an anime and what will become of them when they are adults. Will they stay together or will they go their separate ways? Tell us in the form of the so lovingly designed Anime <3

I can’t explain how much you need to watch this show... Firstly the voice acting is just top tier, you legit got Megumin on here. The story even if it’s slow at sometimes, it certainly shines as a romance anime. The op is definitely memorable and fun. Characters are enjoyable and cute throughout the watch even the side characters have unique features that make them stick out. Karakai Jouzu No Takagi-san 2 is a fun watch that has heaps of rewatch value because of the dozens of cute and funny moments. Add this to your watch list now, you won’t regret it !!

I think the only tease here is Shin-Ei Animation, and even then i want more. Nishikata is not a typical dumb kid, they wrote the meaning for dumb for him. He is so dense to not only Takagi feelings, but his own. I feel the only way he is going to understand how he feels, is as if someone slaps him with it. Takagi clearly knows what she wants. After two season she keeps the pace slow with them in order not to scare Nishikata. The story it's self really pulls on those kid crushes we all had when we were kids. everything they do together is sweet and innocent, and pulls on you heart strings. but i found the last two episodes i was more mad at Nishikata for how dense he was. i loved the songs, like when Nishikata was cooking up a plan. The intro song was fantastic, that i let it play though instead of skipping like i normally do. i feel that they are going to drag this out for 2 more seasons at this pace. If they make another season they need to wrap up this phase of their feelings. I know about their future thanks to google, so maybe we will see that instead.

Story of this anime is same with the first season, but some episode of this season make me think this season is better than the first season. Art of this anime is great. Opening, ending song of this anime good. Voice actors of this anime is great especially Rie Takahashi as Takagi. Story of this season makes me impressed to Nishikata, character development of Nishikata in this season is outstanding for me. Nishikata does something really memorable for me in this season. Like the first season, simple story of this anime is very enjoyable. Overall this anime is great, one of the best anime on summer 2019

Wow, the second season of this anime has wrapped up, and what a ride it’s been! If you remember from my last review, this series is such a delightful escape from reality. It’s like the perfect little bubble of joy—no stress, just pure fun! There’s something so therapeutic about those carefree anime shows, isn’t there? In this season, I was really impressed by how much the main characters developed. And let’s not forget the trio of girls who are just as adorable and hilarious as always! I can’t help but feel like I see bits of myself in each of them. Plus, there was definitely more romance this time around! The main focus was clearly on the love story between the two leads, and even though we didn’t get any big confessions or kisses, it was just a sweet and delightful watch! Now, let’s dive into the four main points of the season. First off, the story really took strides, especially when it comes to the romance! We got to see the characters get closer and their feelings deepen, which was heartwarming. The humor was still strong, keeping that lighthearted vibe we love. Character development was also evident—it's like the characters have grown up a bit since last season, adding some nice layers to their personalities. As for the animation, it maintained the same quality as before—no complaints here! Everything looked great, and it flowed really well. And the sound design? Just as fantastic as we’ve come to expect! With just one season and a movie left to go, I’m super excited to see a memorable romantic moment for these charming, cute, lovely, and funny characters. Can’t wait!

This anime makes me sleepy while watching it. In season 2 it displays the same thing as the previous season. The comedy elements that are displayed are sometimes not funny, but there are also some that make me smile to myself. It doesn't matter. This anime also makes me a little annoyed, annoyed because of Takagi's behavior. He teased Nishikata and had his own way, or it could be called a cunning way. And strangely, Nishikata is always shown losing when playing with Takagi, and Takagi always wins, which means Nishikata is always unlucky. There are ways that Takagi used to tease Nishikata. That's what made me a little annoyed with Takagi. Like Tom & Jerry, Jerry always wins against Tom, and Tom always gets bad luck when he faces Jerry. And this anime only shows scenes of Takagi's pranks with his strategy to face Nishikata. Usually 1 episode has 3 scenes, similar to the anime Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, Asobi Asobase, Kaguya-sama, and Nichijou. This anime is quite entertaining, but somehow I'm a little sleepy watching it, because the plot is too flat, and the comedy is also a bit crunchy. The story only focuses on the 2 couples, Takagi who likes Nishikata, but Nishikata is not sensitive at all. Even so, other characters are also shown and there are separate scenes. However, in season 2, there is a bit of conflict showing where Takagi is fighting with his mother about vacation issues, then Nishikata consoled her. The end of the episode is also made different, they all attend the festival. Quite interesting. Graphics and animations that appear 'ordinary', nothing special. Naturally, because this is a slice of life anime, which doesn't require fantastic animation. No problem. You can watch this for entertainment, it is even suitable for children. But don't expect more with this anime, because maybe some people will get bored watching it.

So before I start my review on this anime I must mention the topics that I am going to cover about this... and they are story, animation style, animation quality, sound, and most importantly enjoyment....these are the main things that decides how should rate the anime so let's start review l Story 6/10: Nothing worth mentioning here.... The story is average school romance like you all know and I must say this season of Anime is better than the previous one because the previous one was all about takagi-san teasing that boy but in this season we get to see e a lot of development between them yes sort of development and I think that this season excels at that get nothing too extra ordinary and it's quite average story new line Art and animation 7/10: The animation style is quite subjective and whether you like it or not depends totally on the person who is watching it and in some cases people don't like the big foreheads of the characters but in my case I personally kinda liked it it wasn't bad for me.... an animation quality it was pretty decent it wasn't something so majestic like other romance anime out there but it wasn't bad at all ok I am I am not a nitpicker so for me animation in quality was pretty decent and I will give it a 7 out of 10 ok... Sound 7/10: Sound was and that awesome opening was and that catchy for me e and honestly I don't care about the opening of this animal listen to it ever again anyway but the ending song of the last episode was good it was so good so that is why I will give you a 7 out of 10 is pretty fair Characters 6/10: Decent likeable characters I personally liked the character style I don't know about others I can't liked it and that boy was also decent looking and has a decent nature nothing worth mentioning hair characters were pretty good ok if you are looking for a character development then this shows not for you honestly Enjoyment 8/10: I hate to say this but I not this ok I literally completed the whole 12 episode in just 2 days which is quite rare for me this time so I kinda like that enjoyment was good I enjoyed every episode and it was worth my time so yeah I will give it an 8 out of 10 Overall 8/10... my 8 out of 10 is kinda close to 7 out of 10 but I want to give it a 8 out of 10 ok there isn't much difference between the first and the second season in terms of all the other aspects accept the story development it so so I will give it a 8 out of 10 you guys should also give it a try some of you might like it and some of you want because the the because of their foreheads that's all thanks I hope you liked my review on this anime

This was such a huge step up from the 1st season, now don't get me wrong the first season was good too, like a 6. One problem i had with the 1st season was even though it was subtle, the teasing which was actually her Tagaki flirting, it was pretty boring to be real with you. The second season however blows the first one out of the water and really starts to lay down the spice. Never have i actually seen a Rom-com slice of life show go through such a good change of pace. So in this case this season was very good. I loved that it still kept Takagi's subtle way of flirting through teasing without making it boring, it was also better in terms of plot which had the festival episode obviously. Everything else stayed the same and finally they didn't cut off the story like they did back in season 1, now i get to see more of the mini stories and its great. Over all 8/10 and definitely waiting for a season 3. P.S, i see some people have given this show about 1 or 2 because apparently her pretty obviously harmless teasing is somehow making Nishi depressed and suicidal?. Like shut the fuck up no. What a shitty take and over reaction for sure. absolutely just fucking dumb. Anyway i hope you liked my first review.

While technically this show is a sequel to the 2018 show of the same name, these 12 episodes repeat the same formula of the previous season. This is a positive in that the show is very easy to digest but at the same time, it also makes this season inferior to the previous season’s episodes. Especially by the middle of the show (episodes 5-8), the recurring formula of Nishikata challenging Takagi to contests in which he inevitably loses begin to feel like a gag, his bone-headed nature in refusing to admit to his feelings for Takagi starts to grate on the viewer and some skits are weak. On the positive side, it is Takagi who is the star of the show and how she plays Nishikata like a fiddle all the while trying to be as clear as she can be about how she feels (through playful banter and teasing, of course) can only be described as superb. The final four episodes, thankfully, more than make up for the lack-luster middle section of the season. As the tension between the two leads simmers throughout the first eight episodes, Nishikata is finally forced to make a choice and the payoff is nothing less than stunning. So much so, that if a viewer purely desires to just get closure while eschewing all the character development and comedy – I’d recommend skipping the first eight episodes and jumping directly into the final four episodes. So, would I recommend this show in its entirety? It depends. Much of the enjoyment of the show rests on how much the viewer can relate to Takagi while simultaneously tolerating Nishikata’s ineptitude. If the balance is in favor of Takagi over Nishikata, sure go ahead – you’re in for a ride. If not, this show is a dud. I personally found the final four episodes to be brilliant and it is for those episodes alone that I give the show a 7. Otherwise, this would have been a 5. Now, if you would excuse me – I’m off to read the sequel to this series in which Nishikata and Takagi are married (finally!!!) and have an adorable four year old daughter.
