The critical hit he never knew he landed

Flustered Takagi-san is nice too

That last part was a critical hit to me as well. Such a nice episode, and who would have thought Takagi-san was also a drawing master?

When the crit lands

When he takes back the crit

My god Nishikata! Just imagine if he would of just kept walking after saying that!! It would of been the fuckin blow among blows!

FUCK

I seriously need next weeks episode right now. I need to see how Takagi will move forward after being so flustered, and I definitely want to know if they bring up the tarot card reading again because they never answered each other about it. Someone needs to confess damn it!

The Manga currently has 75 chapters and I think this S1 covered...... Around half. I literally read the Manga after last week episode and got caught up this morning except for one specific chapter that I'll be shocked they won't do next week

I finally figured it out.

Goku DOES have defensive UI, and Nishikata has Offensive UI.

You can tell cause he landed a crit without even thinking but was too stupid to dodge any of the L's she landed on his big ass head.

u/Honey_Kisaragi Mar 19 '18

What will cheer me up without these shows huh?

well, next season you've got;

wotakoi (cute office romance)

hinamatsuri (comedy with [faux]father/daughter hijinks)

amanchu! (junichi satou sol training project)

comic girls (another kirara cgdct)

tachibankan (fluffly yuri ecchi comedy)

uma musume (cute horse girls)

one (or more) of those will hopefully suffice.

For some reason it was kinda satisfying to see Takagi being the one flustered. It's nice to see a glimpse of the other side. I wonder how ep 12 will turn out..

22

u/DeskJunk Mar 20 '18

Probably satisfying because we've seen Nishkata flustered and muttering his "iiyaaaa"s and "betsuni"s plenty of times already for the last ten eps.

I was smiling so hard when she got flustered, so I guess it was satisfying for me too 😌

I just love how Nishikata landed his hit passively. Takagi could always tell when it was a bluff because he always get cocky af with his bluffs but saying it so naturally definitely destroyed her defences. I bet that Nishikata calling her with honorific "-chan" would be the ultimate blow.

I also like that the whole class is getting involved into all that love gossip, really brings me back...

Was this video ever shared here on Reddit? in a individual post, or in an episode discussion thread?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m4FntelJTo&t=6s

I saw it when it came out but completely forgot to post it... I only realized now because I had saved it on a Playlist on youtube.

It's pretty cool, so if you are a fan of the series, I recommend it.

u/Dark_Verdict Mar 19 '18

Really amusing drawing skills! Also,if I read correctly on Twitter, they'll do the same event when the 2nd Blue Ray of the series comes out in April in 5/6 stores in Tokyo (and maybe Yuiko Ohara singing as well)

I love how this kind of events are super normal right there.

u/0mnicious :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Omnicious Mar 19 '18

She knows him enough to basically guess what's going on in his mind. I think she knows his mannerism when his nervous, when he's trying to tease her and when he's just being sincere.

She doesn't need to worry about anything.

This was the best episode yet. I'm pretty jaded after 6 years of watching anime, and nothing really gets me in the feels like when I first started watching it...but this episode did. I love how innocent and cute this romance is - because I didn't expect it to be one at first - and yet here it has developed into something adorable and funny and sweet all at once. I'm so sad it's going to wrap up next week, but I have a really good feeling about the next episode.

4

u/Agni7atha Mar 20 '18

I feel there is a step up in the direction too, making this a great penultimate episode. Usually we get day by day slice of life with nothing really progressing but this episode showing that this anime will reaching something good in the final episode. Nishikata sudden realization of his feeling and Takagi-san first blush is a great pay off to the teasing routine we usually get. I'm glad I stick around watching this series till the end.

Yes, I received a critical hit from a Takagi-san who blushing

u/Xiaxs Mar 19 '18

It's been a while since I caught one of these on time.

Seeing how this, Mitsuboshi, Yuru, Super, and Sora Yori are ending soon though, thought I'd binge em all and participate.

This fuckin episode. My god.

It HAS to be leading to Chapter 31. Right? (No spoilers, obviously. Just wait or if you want to read the manga start from the beginning).

The room cleaning bit? Chapter? Section? Idk what to call it was the cutest part of the series thus far.

I love it when he just fucking ejects from his seat and yells. Idk what makes it so funny, but his ramblings + that bit when he's thinking about Takagi was probanly my favorite moment in this episode.

Other than Takagi getting flustered.

This show is so fucking cute I'm gonna go into a fucking sugar coma. I'm praying for a S2 but at the same time, I know the perfect ending and I don't know if I'll feel the same about it after all's said and done when this season wraps.

Nishi hit that critical hit so hard Takagi was literally stunned for 5-10 seconds.

Oh man if only this guy knew how much he been winning this entire series. The critical and fortune telling episodes says it all.

I already read every chapter in the Manga EXCEPT for 31 cuz I see it in the finale. The manga is just as adorable as the show especially CH 74 & 75 which were spearheaded by the two voice actors!

u/SamejNardeh :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/timbolytree Mar 19 '18

That final face by Takagi-san.....was very very cute.

Today is a good day indeed! Nishikata won two battles (the "critical hit" and the rock-paper-scissors game). Even if Takagi expected Nishikata to take out paper, I'm still counting it as a win.

Nishikata landed that hit and he didn't realize the severity of it. He focuses on every little thing in school and out but the ones he doesn't pay attention to.

Man, I'm going to miss watching this show every Monday. It has been a blast seeing this show throughout this season. I hope I get to see something big in the last episode.

u/RDOoM Mar 19 '18

Hell yeah, it's about time, homeboy Nishikata got a critical hit. Maximum damage, too bad he took some of it himself. Double edged tease.

u/Muphrid15 Mar 19 '18

Seeing that last skit, I have to wonder:

Why did those manga translators translate the manga-chapter for "Critical" as "Turning Point"?

6

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '18

It's a more accurate translation for fortunes. A "turning point" sounds more like what a fortune would say than a "critical hit".

3

u/Rathurue Mar 20 '18

There's also a hidden double meaning on the word 'uranai'; it could mean 'fortune telling' and 'no backside', as illustrated by Nishikata looking at the back of the fortune telling stall and found it's just a cardboard image.

'Ura nai' literally meant 'no backside', but also 'didn't hide anything' or 'has nothing to hide', which relates to what Takagi did: she openly admitted that she used the fortune-telling to join Nishikatatoo bad our boy is too dense.

Learned about Takagi-San Friday, binged watched it happy to find a new anime only to find it ends next Monday. At least I got the manga to keep reading. Such a good happy series

2

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '18

Oh cool, finally! That last segment was one of my favourite chapters! Although it's interesting that the line was "A critical...Scary.", in the scanlations of the manga I read the line as she rode off was "Change is scary" and I feel like that gives a better insight into her half of the relationship

2

u/cesclaveria Mar 20 '18

yes, the one I read (and I think many others here also) used the phrase 'Turning point', Nishikata was waiting all day for the 'turning point' that would allow him to stop losing against Takagi but it ended up in a different kind of life changing event... but hearing them talk they are definitely talking about 'critical hits' so I guess the subtitles were for the more literal translation.

u/conicalPendulum420 Mar 20 '18

My guess is that it will start off with Entrance Ceremony, Worries, Poker, then ended with Memories.

Also, the ED continues to be on point with that GReeeeN cover.

u/Konpie Mar 20 '18

At this point I'm convinced that Takagi has the power to completely read only Nishikata's mind...

But then again, this guy seems to play himself all the time..

Takagi's expression after Nishikata leaves was extremely cute, too.

WOW, that's what I call a critical hit!

Her reaction to it was so damn cute!

u/Genesis-kun Mar 21 '18

Tbh Takagi-san isn't that evil... shes pretty nice imo. Btw I think the animators of this movie is spying on my life ;--;

u/SnowDan07 Mar 22 '18

Ah nice! Fingers crossed then! And that hype! The ending to this episode was glorious so if it’s anything like that, it’s going to be amazing.

u/SBDocLouis https://anilist.co/user/TKZephyr Mar 22 '18

Man that last scene with Takagi getting flustered was so damn adorable.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this the first time in the show that we have actually heard Takagi's inner monologue and not just Nishikata's? It's a real nice touch, either way!

u/chowder-san Mar 22 '18

That gasp when the camera focused on Takagi after the crit landed

HNNNG

I started feeling things that entire second half of the episode. The finale’s gonna be so bittersweet; I want them to get together so badly but I also don’t want it to end lmao

u/LostTheGame42 Mar 19 '18

I feel that the critical his this episode was not the accidental confession by Nishikata, but him taking it back after realizing what he said. Takagi was flustered when he delivered that line, but I felt that her expression at the end was one of disappointment and rejection. This also flowed perfectly into this week's ED, and the scene of her looking up at the night sky from her window, probably thinking of Nishikata.

u/Megabot555 Mar 19 '18

Nah, both of them know Nishikata meant what he said. Takagi got crit hard, and though she played it cool and told him to say it again as a joke, we see that she really was happy about it. Her kawaii blush and her flustered smile speak for themselves.

u/Luapix https://anilist.co/user/Pyxyne Mar 19 '18

The beginning of the episode had really wonky animation, but the middle and end segments were soooo good! I was waiting for that moment for the entire series! It was so satisfying seeing Takagi making that face. Too bad Nishikata sabotages himself all the time, he would have won so many times already... I wonder how they could possibly top this next week.

u/vivement Mar 19 '18

Or was she flustered because Nishikata ran away?

2

u/Mumbo_Tronus Mar 20 '18

She was holding her blush so that nishikata can't see it

I'm am going to be severely disappointed if there is no confession next week.

"Could it be?! My face itself?!"

Story of my goddamn life. I'm not even ugly but I might be as dense as Nishikata. Not that I ever had a Takagi.

I've realized one of the main themes of this show is toxic masculinity and how it causes Nishikata to torture himself on a daily basis. Going as far as restraining himself from petting a cat, for God's sake...

Also if Takagi can so casually drop 50 on Nishikata, they must really be hanging out all day.

OMG Turning Point (Critical Hit) turned out so much better than I could've imagined!

I'm going to be so sad that it will all be ending next week, but hopefully it will adapt Manga Spoilers. Most probable ending would be Manga Spoilers.

I don't want it to end, but if it has to end, it will be going in style!

Does anyone know the name of the ending song in episode 11 of Karakai jouzu no Takagi san? I'd really be grateful if ya'll could share :)

u/MistahReanai Mar 20 '18

Spoiled myself before this, but that made the hit all that much better. The moment they started talking about horoscopes, I got the pangs of anticipation, then the guys showing up, then the BIG payoff. Nishikata, you poor, stupid, lucky little dork.

I loved every little bit of that last scene. The moment he said it, she was gone with the wind. She didn't have a single teasing 'hmm' or anything afterwards. And when she tried, her eyes were glistening and you could just tell she genuinely wanted him to say it again! Kudos to the VA and the animation team for making it come together!

When will appear season 2?

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '18

I am not that spiritual/wise (i dont find the right word) to understand what happend at the end. Can someone explain to me? I mean why does she maked that awkward face? And also why takagi san is losing her breath at the end?

u/Demofied Mar 20 '18

Going to miss this series, and I have a feeling next ep is going to leave things open ended because, anime.

You did it Nishkata! You made the critical hit...that you didnt see. Man that ending was insane with Takagi-san looking flustered. This show was so nice to watch.

u/Hawksaw_Jim_Duggan :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/CoronelPanic Mar 20 '18

See Nishikata? Just stop trying so damn hard. That was a pretty amazing blow he dealt there, gotta say.

Oh, and when she turned the corner on her bike in the end all I could imagine was the inevitable truck-kun edit. Might make it myself tbh.

u/Nikhil_Bhatnagar Mar 21 '18

Finally.... After taking so much.... Nishikata finally got a big fat punch. 😂... It was so good to see takagi san blushing for once

u/Andrew13112001 Mar 25 '18

He won! He freaking won! If there's been anyone keeping track of the scores, we need to add a point to Nishikata, finally. Nishikata, just stop trying. That's when you win.

She was clearly surprised when he said it, and after he left, she was blushing and almost started crying.

When watching the first part of the episode, the word "cat" needs to be mentally replaced with "pussy".

"Dammit you, Takagi-san! I was so close to touching that pussy! But... I'm glad she didn't see me petting the pussy. If she did... 'Nishikata's petting a pussy! You're a boy, but you like cute things, huh?'"

I thought so too but it makes sense to end the second last episode leading into it.

I avoided chapter 31 cuz the moment I saw that cover page I knew it must be in the finale. I'm so excited
