Cute Sweet and Charming.
Those are the words I can describe for the whole series of Karakai Jouzu no Takagisan. From funny and cute schemes to the sweet and charming romance of the story. Watching their story makes me remember how beautiful and romantic my middle school days were. In other words nostalgic.
Now these largeforeheaded couples made another comeback for the third season of Karakai Jouzu no Takagisan. When the third season was announced I couldnt believe it and felt a huge excitement. I never expected this show would get another season after 3 years of waiting. Knowing they will deliver again another sweet romance for their hardcore fans including me. And that never fails to amaze me. This will be my anime of the season.
Story:
The story took place after the events of season 2. Its a usual day for Nishikata as he still has not found a way to beat his nemesis Takagisan. But the story shifted its tone. From the first season of episodic teases of Takagi to the point when the gap between them gradually became closer than ever. This season became a serious lighthearted romance and showed some schemes that had never been seen before. The story is kind to its viewers and the romance portrayal from enemies to close friends was very sweet. Every single moment of the show especially the couple makes you giggle entertain and even smile. From the first season until the latest the story and romance factors are still incredibly consistent. Some story parts were moving to its development and some easter eggs were shown. Like in Moto Takagisans story which was unexpected. Even you might say the story is still the same you will get hooked over and over again I believe their story wouldnt be the same as before. Because I can feel it they will reach their happily ever after.
Animation:
The animation of the show evolved this season. I remember the first seasons animation was plain good. But the animation quality this season is fire. ShinEi animation studios production style kept up with the animation style of other famous studios like Cloverworks and KyoAni. Especially the art sequence of the OP and ED. I noticed their foreheads became shinier than before. The art in every scene was superb and pretty handled well. I dont have to say that much when it comes to art but I loved it.
Music:
This is one of the factors I love about this series. The music is heartwarming. The cool thing about its music is it used every OP of the show and made some variations for the soundtrack. I remember when Eufonious made many variations of True Tears OP in that show and Sakurasous Days of Dash had a piano variation. Even in Clannad Id got to hear it. Many romance animes used that kind of skill in their soundtracks. We got to hear the cute variation of Iwanai no Kedo ne and Zero Centimeters from the previous seasons. But in this season we heard Massugu variation but this time the singer hummed it. Its so sweet and very suitable for every scene in the show. The OP is still amazing but I prefer Zero Centimeters more. Even I didnt like the EDs that much its still pretty good.
Characters:
What can I say about the characters? The main couple Nishikata and Takagi were very written well. I remember when Nishikata hated Takagi because of her teasing moments. But his feelings bloomed because of his moments spend with Takagi. The two of them became true to their feelings for each other but the moments of their challenges to each other remain. Even I saw in Moto Takagisan they are still challenging each other. The other side characters were funny too especially the side couples. The boys and the girls were funny as well. The development of Nishikata and Takagi is the one I wanted from this show. And thats so charming.
Overall:
I like this show and it easily beats my top 10 favorite romance. This kind of romance story deserves to be recognized loved and appreciated by many audiences especially romance fans. This kind of anime is the one you needed for if you want a solid romance with many cute gag scenes. I enjoyed it watching with my friends siblings and even my loved ones. I cant imagine myself if I reach the conclusion of the series and I can wait to see the movie someday. All in all this anime will be in my romance favorites and Im glad to recommend this to everyone. This will be worth your time and will make you entertain to your hearts content.
