Anime: Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san

I seriously can't understand negative votes on this series, it's an amazing slice of life anime with great character development and great design.

If you don't like this kind of anime just don't watch it but don't downgrade such an amazing work.

little boy victim of jokes from his classmate, he always tries to retaliate but everything turns back to him because she is super smart, super clever and also stronger than him.
he is a kid that behave like a kid while she seems an aunt that have fun teasing her little nephew, so much is the difference between the two (of course it's because she likes him... meh).

in any case, it can be enjoyable, it's well done and it has his funny comedy moments.
i recommend it for fans of this kind of "cute" rom-com, or fans of OP female leads.
the others can be upset about how the story is driven, i was one of those, i felt unconfortable in several occasions (i like strong female leads, but i didn't like it in such setting, put it this way).

Another title made just to be cute, very adorable! Sadly, shortly: silly boy is being tricked and played by smarter girl, it happens so often that he starts to get complexes and overthinking every single action, which cause him to have even worse grades at school. As for me it failed to be comedy, I smiled a very few times, but it gets better with romance part and that's when cuteness is the best. If I were him, I would probably ask the teacher to let me change my sitting place and that would lead to the instant end of anime haha

One of the best show of this winter definitely recommended, funny , cute and makes you want them to be together, put aside what you are doing and enjoy this show

Slice of life, innocent love story between two middle school kids. No triangles or any other complications.

The girl clearly knows she is in love with the guy, but the guy is pure and is not sure what is the meaning of the relationship between him and the girl that he sits next to who keeps talking to him. He wants to feel smarter than her and win conversations but she keeps wining in subtle and gentle ways. He interprets it as teasing and not the fun inter play that the girl interprets it as and that is what happens in all the 12 episodes. They are both kind, so the teasing never becomes malicious or resentful, and they keep forgiving each other because they care for each other.

And because they are kids, the jokes are not sophisticated, very simple. So its a very light comedy, no laugh out loud moments.

I think the low rating is because lots of people find slice-of-life uninteresting. If you are into this genre, its highly recommended.

It just makes you go "awwwwwwww"

Its more of a chuckle comedy that an all out guffaw of laughter. Its strength is its hidden charm that's romance between the school girl and boy. She is being too shy to express feelings to your crush, so indirect it behind a tease. While the boy is super blur to it. It's all makes up for really fun chuckles thats full of heart warming awwwww moments.

The other best part is seeing how their teasing romance slowly develops, usually gives me that sigh of relief to see how thing turns out well between them. There's few other minor characters with some side story but really its about 'them'

All in highly recommended easy, awww moments that reminds you of your younger years puppy love feeling watch. Don't expect top notch animation but the story is very well written and controlled pace. 8/10 for me!

This is such a freaking cute adorable romance 'squeeee'!

It makes you think of old-school-tales á la "boy pulling on the braid of the girl he likes" - just the other way around since it's the girl pulling pranks.
The stories are warmhearted and funny, the characters are really well drawn in a charming way. The pairing of Takagi with Nishikata is the best followed by the funny trio - I especially enjoyed their "Dubbing"-story. It's hilarious!

If you're in the mood to watch a really funny but nice romance you might want to give this a try. I really enjoyed it and am really hoping for more stories!

This show isn't for everyone, and who it appeals to, it seems, depends on how it's interpreted. As a comedy where the two main characters try to tease each other, it's one-sided and a bit flat (or repetitive). In the first ep (though not so much later eps), it even feels a bit malicious at times. However! It's not malicious at all, and if you see beyond the flat comedy, you can quickly pick up on a subtle but highly compelling romance track between the two that (spoiler: builds from episode to episode). For me, this is one of the most robust, well-written, and well-acted 'developing romance' type stories to come around in years. Highly recommended, though again, this won't be for everyone.
