Takagi-san, the anime that started as a funny joke and ended up as one of if not the best romance slice of life series ever created imo.
This season? Peak romance. If you have already seen Takagi-san S1 and S2, season 2 already reached a point which I thought it wasn't any way more tangible to keep pushing the limits of Takagi's subtleties and Nishikata's blindness. Not in a hater way, because part of the series enjoyability is to slowly convey this sweet and wholesome slow romance evolution, which sadly this becomes the main reason why other people can dislike this anime.
Because of this slow progressing
...
romance it's the reason why Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san (specially S3) is able of making these constant top notch character interactions and rising the tensions higher and higher, episode after episode filling us with such impactful scenes and bittersweet at times. This season has no fear on changing completely the daily happy mood the last seasons had, and easily pulls on our heartstrings with such simple scenes as getting a present ran over by a car.
Story 10/10
Flawless. I read the manga a while ago and I didn't remember it as well as what I watched right now, definetely the anime staff has cared so much into bringing the stuff the manga had into perfection.
Most of the episodes brought me a sense of fulfillness which no other anime has ever done to me, since how really well made is the storytelling, and the anime direction really amplifies that kind of feeling of progression throughout every episode.
Art and sound 9.5/10
Animation is over your average anime, no meant to outshine what is happening, but conveys all we need to enjoy our story, no need to make it flashy. Background art it's just so great and detailed.
Sound best of best, we have the eren ieega as MC and the most quiet and cute voice of Rie Takahashi whispering to your ears, also singing a new ending per episode. Ost is also amazing, they even do a single ost for a whole episode done in Tom and Jerry's style lol
Character 10/10
Nishikata, my man. How mant times this man has made me cry, just a child, he never realizes about Takagi's hints, but damn how many guts he has. This man will be running the whole village just to see Takagi, keep tripping while running and falling for the waifu.
Takagi, no complaints, best teaser in the world, really high iq and her forehead does show that.
Hina, her friends and Nishikata's friends and other relationships. Kimura, you deserve more, how many times u haved saved Nishikata, such a gigachad and no one in the series aknowledges you.
S1 and other seasons I kind of disliked Hina and the others, but then S2 and S3 somehow made them really likable and didn't felt disconnected with takagi-nishikata short episodes, they were always there to add more in other point of view. Also, Hina is the cutest from the series and she deserves her own show, no joke, Chika's voice actor itself is already capable of making me burst a nice laugh.
Enjoyment 10/10
Best seasonal anime and already aoty at least, in an emotionally level. Also, I kind of recommend to follow this weekly except those episodes that end up in cliffhanger, rushing Takagi-San felt good but I personally enjoyed more when watching it in smail doses, it made me appreciate more the smallest of details which I think I sometimes lost when rushing it.
Overall 10/10
Tl;dr: The best season out of the three out there, at least currently. Surpassed my expectations, great directing and best couple ever
