Welcome to the NHK
@tazzyboyishere



I think this is a show about an otaku shut-in... maybe trying to adjust to normal life? Not sure if he fails or succeeds or maybe just wallows in his own filth. I haven't actually seen it.

I'd probably just read onani master kurosawa again before I would watch this.

I watched a little bit of this show but couldn't really get into it. It takes place in a fantasy type world but I feel like they didn't explain enough about the world early on enough for me to understand or care what was happening. Wasn't really into the fact that all of the main characters were children. These types of stories where kids run off and get into trouble that is way over their heads are usually not appealing to me unless it's done really, really well.

The last thing I remember was all of the kids being in some place with a bunch of mole people. I just thought the whole thing was so ridiculous and weird. I wasn't sure exactly what I was supposed to be feeling but I didn't think the monsters were scary, I didn't feel like the characters were really in any danger, but at the same time the way the scene is presented makes you think they're trying to make the point that the characters were in more danger than they expected. But at the same time I got no sense of danger from the actual scene. So, all in all, I just got bored and stopped watching.

Teekyu!

A tennis show that's not actually about tennis at all. You may be surprised to know that Teekyu is not an exception in that case, but rather that there's an entire category of shows that follow this formula. Off the top of my head would be Sofuteni. Although, to be completely real, Teekyu! blows that show out of the water.

If you're not familiar with 'short comedies' they became pretty popular just within the last 10 or maybe even 5 years. Instead of a full 20 minute show you'll have shows that have 10, 5, or even 2 minute long episodes. Instead of trying to have some kind of plot and character development they just rapid fire jokes at the audience hoping that any joke will land. Honestly, I think Teekyu does this pretty well. There's a few other good shorts and short comedies in particular. Tzurezure Children saw success recently as one of the better shows to come out in recent memory despite being a short, although that did have long enough episodes and enough of a plot to feel like a real show. Hell, the shortened length just left you wanting more.

Back to Teekyu. So basically it's about a character who wants to play in a tennis club... only problem is that all of the other members are complete cartoon characters. You have a spoiled rich girl who doesn't understand anything about how the world works, a clueless pervert character (a requirement in all-girl comedy shows made after 2010), and the last who is basically the bugs bunny of this show. Most of the humor comes from this character, Kanae, doing completely unexpected things. It's hard to explain how or why this is funny but most of the jokes don't even have much set up. Or sometimes they do. That's kinda the beauty of Teekyu; rather than sticking to one formula they completely try to blindside you and suckerpunch you with every single punchline. A character might set up for what is obviously supposed to be a clever pun and then the camera just pans to Kanae dressed up in a fish costume and ruins the joke, but this somehow makes it even more funny.

I haven't seen every episode of Teekyu. Apparently there's like 9 or more seasons now. They just keep making this shit. It's pretty funny from what I've seen, and probably the only danger would be after watching 20 or 30 episodes you might finally get tired of the breakneck speed and style of humor.
