Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san Movie

4 years ago I watched the first season of "Teasing Master Takagi-San" It was such a comforting piece of Media, certainly a "feel good" show. I begged for a second season at that time, now I'm here 3 seasons later watching "Takagi-San" on the big screen with the dumbest grin on my face. Takagi in all of it's light-heartedness is a character driven story at its finest. This film delivered everything it was supposed to, it handled it's serious undertones well, delivered it's fan service (Not lewd ya weirdo) masterfully, it's animation, background scenery in all of it's fluidity had a consistent sense of quality ... throughout, a spectacle on the big screen. It's soundtrack is fun and ecstatic, though some tracks were overused, my theatre also had a terrible stereo system. I was smiling the whole film and even hit the person sitting next to me upon the post credit scene. It's a youthful explosion, even though the runtime is tragically short, I believe it to be a masterpiece. If you're a fan of the show, please go out and watch this film on the big screen, it truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you haven't seen Takagi-san, please seek it out, I'm sure it'll bring a smile to your face atleast once, If you have no interest in the previous seasons, but still want to watch the film, do it. while some context is missing, this film is just as much as a starting point than the previous seasons.

This may be the end of the youthful adventure of Teasing Master Takagi-San, but that's okay, because it's bound to make you happy forever.

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san Movie (2022)

Not the ending we wanted but the one we got. This seems to have adapted its own version of how to end things from what I remember of the manga. The writers also seemed to have forgotten about the teasing and let two very young characters become a serious romance.

The art looks fantastic for its style, it is very similar to what we are used to and that is perfect.

The sound is pretty impactful when it needs to be and has a lot of nice tear-jerking cues from the soundtrack.

Characters if you don't know them you don't ... deserve to know them. Go and watch the rest of the series and come back. Many other characters and interesting side routes are left wide open with no end or outcome which is disappointing.

The movie was deep and impactful and like I said without much of the teasing on the normal level. I get the feeling the producers realized that it would not survive much longer before perhaps its rating dropped beyond repair so they made the decision to end it. I am glad they ended it since it definitely isn't a show that needs season after season. It is however a movie that didn't really follow its own premise and left me feeling slightly empty. It is not how I expected it to go and definitely not how the manga looks in how it would build up. As a teasing master 4.10 but as a deep and complex romance film 9/10,

The plot of the movie is literally a standard Summer vacation for children. There is absolutely nothing special or interesting. You could go outside, watch children play, and that's the same as the movie. There is no creativity. It is extremely plain and boring.

The movie is nothing like the previous seasons. Do not expect any comedy or Takagi's usual teasing. It is purely slice of life. There is not really any plot or character development, so it does not add on to the original story and there is no point of watching the movie. It is pretty much a waste of time.
