Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2

Even after spending a considerable amount of time with Takagi, Nishikata is still struggling to find a perfect plan to defeat the expert teaser. A battle of wits, a contest of physical prowess, a test of courage—any strategy he employs to expose her weaknesses is to no avail. On the contrary, Nishikata's pitiful attempts only reveal more of his own flaws, which Takagi takes advantage of to become increasingly daring in her teasing attempts. To make things worse for Nishikata, rumors about him and Takagi may have spread in class due to the frequent interactions between them.

However, the optimistic Nishikata believes that wisdom comes with age and that as the days go by, his experience with her constant teasing will eventually bear fruit, leading him to the awaited moment of victory. Thus, Nishikata continues to strive for the seemingly impossible—to outsmart Takagi and make her blush with embarrassment.

I can summarize Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san in about a sentence : Girl teases guy, guy tries to get back at her and miserably fails because she has a plan for his plan.

However, I can't do the same for Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2 at all, because that wouldn't be doing it justice.

At its core, the second season doesn't change anything drastically from the first - we have our two main characters and their teasing formula, our three side characters from Ashita wa Doyoubi, a side couple, and a new addition of another side couple who don't get much screentime. So what makes ... the big difference between the two seasons? If I had to put it in one word, it would be passion. It feels as if a new team of die-hard Takagi-san fans have taken over the adaptation, and they've done everything in their ability to bring out the absolute best of what a story like Takagi-san could offer in this second season.

From fixing the awkward pacing issues of the first season that even as someone with the Takagi-san manga on his favorites list for a long time I could not ignore, to beautifully tying up episodic chapters to make them have more impact, to even coming up with completely new anime-original segments - which are all up there for me with my favorite manga chapters, that's how much I loved them - the studio have clearly given it their all for this season, and it is definitely reflected in how much I have enjoyed every single moment of it.

And of course, something important which I should probably have said earlier - the anime-original segments I mentioned include actual romantic progression! If you enjoyed season 1's "Critical Hit", then you're going to love this season - you'll be feeling those critical hits through the screen, as the "teasing" has long since passed the line most people would call "flirting".

To sum it up - if you liked the previous season, you are going to love this one. If you felt lukewarm about the previous season, there is still a very good chance you are going to love this season.

This season gets a honest 10/10 for me, and I wish every adaptation was given as much care as this one - but for now I'll just be happy that one of my favorites got one.

Mixed Feelings

I'm not gonna write much since there's not much to say about this show that hasn't already been said about last season. It still has the same production values,characters, and story structure. The only noticeable change is that they are one year older and that the main duo are a bit more closer to each other. nonetheless the show is still capable of continuing it's perpetually endless series of vignettes until either the viewer or writer gets tired of it. the show is well aware of this and does add something to the monotony by adding an off hand scene midway through the show, with ... only those well versed in the takagi-verse will understand what it means. if they had continued with adding scenes such as that it could have made for an interesting framing device. in the end the end the show continues to ride on its cuteness and simplicity and not much else.

Preliminary (1/12 eps)

I absolutely loved the first season so it may be petty of me, but I can't bring myself to watch this one due to the switch of voice actors for the two main characters. It wouldn't have been a big deal if the side characters had different voices, but the two main characters? The quality of the voices is also much worse on top of the switch (almost unprofessional sounding?)

I obviously didn't give this one a fair chance seeing as I only got 20 seconds in before realizing something was off. The characters I had just gotten to know from the first season feel totally ... different and it's like starting all over, they just aren't the same.
