A few years ago, I discovered "Teasing Master Takagi-San" and it was soon to become the first Anime TV Show that I watched, this show was such a great introduction into the genre because of how bright, fun, and happy the show was. This movie, and the seasons of the show that led up to it were such an amazing story, telling how what started as embarrassing teasing and a great friendship would turn into something so much bigger. To see the characters of this show change throughout the story, open up about their feelings, and explore what they truly want for one another is ... such an unexpected, but pleasing element, especially because I could never imagine that a show handling childhood, middle school, and teasing could also go into so much more depth with the relationship of the characters and what it could mean. This show was such a remarkable journey, and it always warmed my heart and put a smile on my face to see how the beautiful scenes and characters throughout each season. While the title might not seem to say much about what's in store for the show, simply implying how Nishikata gets teased by Takagi-San, it became much more than it's parts in how it revealed a beautiful, authentic, and wholesome friendship that started in middle school, and would flourish year after year. This movie was exactly what I sought after watching the seasons of the TV show that came before it, it tells the story of how Takagi's and Nishikata's friendship continued to change, and with the subtle themes, symbolism, and beautiful concepts and imagery that went hand-in-hand with the story, I couldn't imagine a better way to complete the incredible journey, which is why I would highly recommend it.

I enjoy Ouran Host Club, and I would consider it an anime that has so much meaning, fun, and rewatchability that I could watch it again if the time came. Overall, the character growth, comedic cliches, exaggerated effect and drama (almost like a soap opera!) makes this show so much fun to watch and enjoy. It's as if the show is adapting itself and its plot based on how the characters act and behave; having a more serious tone when necessary, or just throwing in some lighthearted fun and excitement. This anime does such a fantastic job of revealing how characters can change and grow ... when faced with a new situation, or with someone that can change their hearts, or minds, the greatest example being the Hitachin brothers. The way that this anime plays out, with so much visual effect for Tamaki's exaggerated, and overly extra character just helps the story to flow better and crack any tension that might build. It's for that reason that this anime is a good watch no matter what mood the watcher is in, or how they're feeling, which I think is a good thing. The themes that this anime taught and the message it spread, that, to my understanding, is that friendships can last, and some friendships can even reach a level of familiarity that is almost like a family. Companionship, kindness, and encouragement can go a long way, and in this show, the characters demonstrated so much to help each other grow, understand, and continue to laugh, have fun, and enjoy each moment, which is what I would aspire for, so I highly recommend it!

This manga was a very fun read, for me. Enjoying the introduction of more plot, and getting to see each character develop as their
emotions for one another change throughout the story made it much more exciting and intriguing. This manga is perfect for a
lighthearted, fun, and wholesome read, while getting a good laugh in once in a while. (Plus, extra episodes!?)

The story was unique in how you could almost never see what was coming in some episodes, but with that in mind, it really enhanced the episode and kept my interest, even if it didn't necessarily add to the plot.

In the manga, ... the characters tend to sometimes overexaggerate their personalities, but I think this adds more dramatic and comedic effect that makes it even better. While the characters did have some flaws in their personalities, I consider the fact that they grow and work through these faults and weaknesses throughout the story a symbol of their strengths, like being self-aware, mature, when they need to be, and empathetic.

While some events that take place in the story could be extremely unrealistic, it keeps the reader engaged, adds comedic effect, and, additionally, surprises the reader, because they won't know the characters react to the situation they're in.

Overall, others who read the manga might enjoy it if this is their preference, which is why I would recommend it.
