Teekyuu is all about the wacky antics of four schoolgirls—Kanae Shinjou gets bored easily and often breaks the laws of physics to get what she wants; Nasuno Takamiya is incredibly rich and knows how to make things go her way; Marimo Bandou would probably get arrested from her actions like eating panties or kidnapping children; and Yuri Oshimoto, their ordinary junior, rounds out the eccentric bunch that forms the sole members of their school's tennis club.
Despite their interest in learning the sport, the older girls prefer messing around, while Yuri, being the only one who actually knows how to play and the most mature in spite of being younger, has to deal with her seniors' out of control behavior.
When these four girls come together, insanity ensues in this lightning-paced comedy about a tennis club that doesn't really play tennis.

If you're smoking too much SHAFT anime and can't stand normal anime (e.g. non-SHAFT animes), watch Teekyuu. It's about a bunch of girls on crack playing tennis. The director's the same guy who did Ben-To and also did some episodes of TTGL. So you know it's gonna be absurd to the max. And what does the show make you feel after you finish 12 episodes of greatness? It's kind of like a gentle wind. It's kind of like a delicious rice cake. It's kind of like a clamorous city. It's kind of like a precious everyday. That's how awesome Teekyuu is. Smoke Teekyuu everyday, people.

Teekyuu is the low budget version of Tantei Opera Milky Holmes. Plot : There`s no plot, this is stupid and whacky at the same time but i like the Humor, nothing special. Art : 2cute4me Sound : OP theme song sounds cute, the way they talk is way faster than Eminem Rapping.Characters :
All the characters were on Drugs and they derp around everyday.
Enjoyment :
More Enjoyable to watch if you don`t use your brain while doing drugs.
Overall :
This anime is fun to watch if you want to waste your time.

How can you review an anime where each episode is only 2 minutes? Very briefly of course! Judging by the cover,Teekyuu seems like a typical "slice of life" anime about a girl's tennis team. The kind of anime that fans of the genre call, "cute girls doing cute things". However, it is actually a profoundly unfunny attempt to spoof those types of anime in the same way that Kill la Kill spoofs fighting shonen series and Panty and Stocking spoofs intentionally offensive American gross out cartoons. This means that Teekyuu's method of spoofing is of course to take as many cliches from the target genre aspossible and cramming them into 2 minute chunks. If you would ever like to see what would happen if the director of Kill la Kill and Panty and Stocking decided to direct Lucky Star, then THIS is the series for you!
The fact that Teekyuu's writing and style of spoofing so closely resembles the works of Imaishi Hiroyuki isn't a coincidence. The director of this series is named Shin Itagaki and he was a co-worker of Hiroyuki's at Studio Gainax and worked directly under him in the production of Panty and Stocking. Itagaki then left Studio Gainax at about the same time Hiroyuki left to found the studio Trigger. The difference between Teekyuu and Kill la Kill is that Hiroyuki has control of Trigger and was able to spend a considerable amount of his new studio's budget on things like decent animation, a decent soundtrack, editing, LOTS of marketing and hyping etc. Hiroyuki also had the huge advantage of name recognition and a cult following who were going to eat up his next series basically no matter what he did. On the other hand, Itagaki has no name recognition and lacks a faithful following. He is the Yotaphone up against Hiroyuki's Apple Iphone. Another problem is that Itagaki does NOT have any control over the budget of the studio he works for (MAPPA). Studio MAPPA spends virtually ALL of its budget on Hajime no Ippo: Rising, so this project was basically made on about 50,000$ budget. If Kill la Kill had severe budget constraints, it would be Teekyuu. Therefore a 4/10 quality anime quickly became 2/10 quality.
You would think how unfathomably shitty this anime is would result in it being a failure right? WRONG! The great thing about having no budget, is that with a little luck and perhaps a tad of misleading advertisement, you can make a handsome surplus. Consider that while Big Rigs Over the Road Racing was objectively one of the worst PC games ever made, its tiny budget allowed it to make a shockingly large profit off poor fools who liked truck racing games and picked it up without really knowing anything about it. In the same way, people who love "cute little girl" anime picked up this abomination and it made an absolute mint compared to its almost non-existent budget. It was so successful that MAPPA greenlit seasons 2, 3, 4, and a 5th may be in the works! When utter bullshit with zero budget makes bank thanks to misleading advertisement, that makes me a SAD PANDA!

(This is a review for seasons 1, 2 and 3.) Short shows that are unaffiliated with a franchise usually do not have the best of reputations save for a few gems such as Tsumiki no Ie. The latest and not-so-well received horror short animated by DEEN – Pupa, may be suffering from special circumstances, but it exemplifies a wider problem encompassing the vast majority of shows following the format. The time constrictions set inevitable restrictions on storytelling, characterization, and atmosphere building. Most short shows, rather than adapting to these limitations, simply adhere to the timeframe by limiting their content. The works produced as such imminently endup wretchedly banal, etiolated in nuance, and ultimately completely forgettable. Few shows manage to overcome this problem, much less turn it into an advantage. Teekyuu achieves the latter; it is a pinnacle among comedy shorts that wouldn’t come out as superbly in any other format.
Teekyuu is essentially a short and crazy comedy show which follows four girls and their daily lives in the tennis club. Note that I use the terms “story”, “daily lives” and “tennis club” loosely as the story is practically a nonentity; their daily lives are not just ordinary daily lives; and the girls seem to, save for a few rare occasions, do anything but tennis. Note that by “anything”, I really mean a whole damn lot of things. Each episode is two minutes long and almost all of them follow an episodic approach with no connections between them other than the basic premise. This episodic formula synergizes seamlessly with the short timeframe and works wonders for the series. If there is one phrase which desbribes Teekyuu, it would be “refreshingly bizarre”. Over time, novelty may wear off and quirkiness lose its impact, but Teekyuu keeps itself a fresh by consisting of short episodes which constantly introduce new and creative absurdities strongly redolent of Gintama and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. What is rather unique for Teekyuu, however, is its extremely fast and adrenaline-inducing pace: the events and dialogues are more overwhelming than the monologues of The Tatami Galaxy’s protagonist or the scientific gibberish uttered in NERV command center. The short length of each episode works to the show’s benefit in numerous ways: it continually provides room for new scenarios, offers a break from the show’s intensity, and prevents itself from feeling dragged out. As there is no overarching plotline, no time is wasted on weaving a coherent narrative and all efforts are poured into squeezing the maximum amount of creativity and absurdity into the little time that is available.
Such unconventional and ineffable qualities as explained above are not suitably expressed through descriptions. An example would more accurately demonstrate the true nature of Teekyuu: take our tennis club members, put KFC’s Colonel Sanders in the team, pitch them in a baseball game against the baseball club in a competition over the possession of the tennis court, throw in some former major league players and an Apache helicopter, have one team’s capitulation be followed by the opposing team’s disqualification, make all of this happen in slightly over two minutes, and we have ourselves a standard episode of Teekyuu.
Teekyuu’s main cast consists of four simple characters built from only three stereotypes: the crazily energetic and goofy type, the rich and seemingly demure type, and the straight man type. These archetypes are not developed upon, but are each severely distorted by the ludicrous style of the series. The characters are packed with so many quirks and are placed into such bizarre scenarios that despite all of them being stereotypical and undeveloped, their interactions and antics are crazily dynamic to say the least. After three seasons, I myself only know them as the crazy pink haired girl, the crazy blue haired girl, the rich brown haired girl and purple haired straight man girl. The characters are not particularly memorable individually, but are together as a group utterly unforgettable. Deep character development and edifying insight is not Teekyuu’s essence, and it wastes none of its already restricted time on what it wouldn’t benefit from.
Standalone TV shorts are in general not particularly rewarding for the producers and consequently tend to suffer from poor production values. Produced by the rather obscure studio MAPPA, Teekyuu is no exception to this. It does do, however, a splendid job with what it has through sheer resourcefulness. Budget on the animation is dramatically cut back on in favour of making the art look lively and reasonably detailed with a vividly colourful palette. The results of this is its choppy and repetitive animation with an exceedingly goofy and bombastic appearance which in actuality enhances the raw and absurd atmosphere of the series. The background music and sound effects are, much like the animation, of poor quality while not hampering the viewers’ enjoyment of the show. The music is awfully generic and almost unnoticeable beyond its unconscious atmosphere building, but it is ultimately absolved as the constant chatter easily overshadows any music that may be playing. The exaggerated and cheesy sound effects used in the show may sound cheap, but they are executed flawlessly and become beneficial for its comedic feel. In addition to the background sounds, each episode is equipped with a 30-seconds opening song. Each season uses a different opening song and each of them manages to perfectly capture the essence of the show. They are simple, bizarre, ridiculous, and overly energetic, which really helps immerse the viewer in the right mood for the intense absurdity that is to follow.
At the time of writing, Teekyuu has aired three seasons for a total of almost 40 episodes. Keeping a gag show fresh for so long is a feat in and of itself, but what is far more remarkable is how it keeps becoming better. The series is crazily bizarre from episode one; but looking back at season one has made me realize just how relatively tame it is compared to its sequels. Much like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Teekyuu constantly finds fresh ways to one-up itself. The series undergoes a gradual escalation from school club comedy to encountering extraterrestrial visitors or inter-dimensional travel into a game world where upon completion one returns to the original world with a physically fit body. Tact, subtlety, and physical laws become entirely disregarded in favour of pure fun and entertainment.
Admittedly, I have a certain tendresse for this show and my bias shines right through this entire review. Comedy is impossible to review objectively to begin with, if such a thing as objectivity even exists. All I know for sure is that if you like bizarreness and don’t find enjoyment to be a non-factor in viewing anime, giving the show a try wouldn’t hurt. After all, plowing through this review takes longer time than actually watching an episode or two. Teekyuu will not be everyone’s cup of tea - it is absurd, immature, playful, and ultimately falls under the brainless entertainment category, albeit the extremely fun type of brainless entertainment.
But are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?

Story: No story. Just quick episodic scenes with some comedic value. However, there's a fear in laughing since you never know what you'll miss. It goes that fast. Art: Some terrible animation that fits the low-budget ADHD nature of the show. Sound: Not much to really comment on with regards to the sound effects. The intro song is the only memorable piece of music, and it's rather annoying. The VA work is quick, and I'm unsure if it's been sped up or not to fit into the length.Character:
Lol what character?
Enjoyment:
Well, I've seen short shows that are WORSE, but this is WAY too fast for me to enjoy. Assuming I continue to watch this series, you'll probably see me copy/pasting this same review. Oh boy.

Idiocy. No word would be more appropriate if I were to sum up my entire experience throughout 7 seasons of condensed retardation. Within two minutes, this show will mercilessly slaughter all your brain cells, causing your IQ to drop lower than the UK's exchange rate after brexit. Hell, you may never catch a cold in your life once your mental capacity has been reduced to this level of idiocy. So, why is this the show for you? For all those who are new, Teekyuu is disguised as a tennis anime, where the characters do everything but that. Be it sunbathing with vegetable oil under therain or battling aliens through games of mahjong with randomly encountered football players, this show has practically done everything but played a proper fucking game of tennis. This isn't a simple case of "haha oh wow that was silly". Legends have it that the writers found the fabled Infinite Fountain of Weed and went ham at it with their ADHD monkeys, but I can assure you that it takes true, genuine stupidity to come up with such absurd content.
Most argue that there is no plot and that the story is trash. In the face of such comments, one can only gaze at them with eyes of immense pity for lacking sufficient idiocy to truly appreciate the avant-garde writing that is Teekyuu. It is a story that transcends clichés, deconstructions and parodies. To truly appreciate such masterful idiocy, it is only natural that the experience would numb the brain and destroy any form of intelligence left within it.
Lack of budget? Crappy art-style? Such scornful comments only show the lack of appreciation to the art of Teekyuu. With quick-paced from renowned voice actors, such as Suzuko Mimori and Kana Hanazawa, that would rival even rappers, key-frames per second higher than the frequency of over-clocked macerators on steroids, as well as songs that would be best described as "it's kind of like a gentle wind", its execution can be described with no other words but perfect. It is no wonder that in the presence of such masterful execution, one would lose all remaining intellect and assume stupidity.
Certain shows draw viewers with high-quality sakuga and detailed background art, others pride in their intricate, complex plot filled with unexpected twists and profound story-telling. But Teekyuu is none of these. Teekyuu is the show for the stupid, the dumb and any other monkey whose IQ falls below Trump's. In short, this show is really stupid, please give it a watch.

Teekyuu Sucks , but why ? Does it everyone is in drugs or because talking fast doesn't make the jokes funnier and you can't even understand it or jokes aren't even good ? Answer is all of them . Teekyuu is something to watch if you want to waste your time with meaningless jokes or the dialogues you can't even understand . Why do the jokes aren't funny then ? That is easy , because references aren't even count as good , jokes are dumbly handled , doing drugs aren't funny only sad . As a comedy anime fan I don't recommend it for anycomedy anime fan out there .

This review covers all three seasons and their OVA specials. It's impressive how anybody can fit 10 minutes worth of information into 2~3 minutes worth of anime. But the people behind Teekyuu managed to pull it off. And while it's yet more "cute girls doing cute things" animu, it's mainly a comedic "running battle of personality conflicts;" featuring: * "Normal being the new weird" (Yuri) * "Breaker of the laws of physics" / "The Babs Bunny" (Kanae) * The insanely rich girl (Nasuno) * The insanely perverted girl (Marimo) Yuri tries to keep everyone focused (since it's an anime about tennis). But it goes on so many tangents that one wouldfear that the girls would never come back. It's okay though; because it's comedic CCDCT.
The animation for this show is CHEAP CHEAP. It looks like only around two frames had been used per scene. And at the time when the lot of companies are overworking their animators towards the point of death, it seems like adult anime maker Queen Bee had it right to take the route and do whatever they did on the cheap.
Finally, Yuri's little brother is awesome.

This show is an over caffeinated beast--sort of like a combination of high school girls playing tennis, plus a cocaine overdose and Heisenburg's Uncertainty Principle (minus any in-between animation whatsoever). It's also pretty brilliant.

They're short, they're fun, and they have absolutely no plot. If you're looking for a deep and meaningful anime this is certainly not what you're looking for, but it is great to entertain a person on a boring afternoon. I don't believe this anime is for everyone, as everything goes very fast and nothing really makes sense, and the art isn't the best or most original either, but with a bit of humor it can be seen as hilarious little episodes to pass the time. I had a good laugh with it and was happy I was able to finish this in just a day, time to watchthe second season!

This anime was a wild ride. I watched this because of my sudden interest in 'shorter' and 'crack' anime, and this definitely delivered. The show will take almost no time to watch, but it's funny enough to keep you entertained. There really isn't a story line. There are only four characters pretty much, and the entirety of the show focuses on whatever they're up to. The art is alright. While the main characters are differentiated enough, the backgrounds aren't done very well and the animation is choppy and closer to stop motion. I have no idea whether it's intentional, but it annoyed me at first.I was able to tolerate it after a while.
The sound was alright, but some of the voice got grating after a while. The opening theme (it's only like 30 seconds, does that count?) is catchy and I don't really like it because it's the kind of song that isn't generally redeemable but it just sits in your brain and torments you. The background music could get annoying at times.
I enjoyed the show enough to keep going. I'm a person who needs to finish everything they start, so I will probably be watching the rest of the seasons as well. It's very fast paced-- looking away even for a split second will throw you off.
I would recommend this if you: like crack, like panty flashes (ew), like friendships in groups of girls, like absolute trash lol, like shorter animes/episodes
I would NOT recommend this if you: came here looking for a sports anime, wanted something serious or long and drawn out (the amount of seasons is misleading), don't like crack and stupidity
Have a great day everyone!

It’s been a long time since I have smiled and laughed hard consistently in an anime ever. In just less than 30 minutes, I was able to grasp so much comedy and cherish the lovable characters. Teekyu is a comedy anime about nothing really. Its plot should not be taken seriously, the focus of the anime is the extremely fast paced comedy. When I say fast paced, I mean that the plot for each episode goes by so fast, you may not be able to process what’s going on. Yet, that’s the genius of this anime. The two-minute length of each episode is just rightfor a comedy this fast. Each episode consists of the characters doing things together in a haphazard manner. This can range from quick plot twists to random stuff happening that has nothing to do with the episode to making fun of tropes. This is NOT bad, as the way it is utilized in its fast paced comedy is absolutely hilarious. Seeing these things utilized in such an unusually rapid pace is the appeal. The purposefully done bad animation/music and expressive characters also further benefit the comedy.
The scary part is that for each season the comedy gets better, getting more random and chaotic than the last. Not every joke is going to hit home for everyone though, but that is ok as the anime will move on to the next joke very quickly to get you laughing/smiling. The anime really knows what it wants to be and I can immediately tell just by watching, the voice actors had a splendid time voicing these characters in a fast paced manner.
The best way to watch Teekyu is to fully embrace the fast paced comedy. I personally recommend that you digest at most 3 episodes per day so that you are not overwhelmed by the fast plot progression. Think of Teekyu as the anime-equivalent of coffee, you wake up in a bad mood. What do you do next to cure that mood fast? Watch one episode of Teekyu to get you waking up laughing and starting the day right. Just remind yourself to not be hyper after you finish an episode.
Overdosing on Teekyu will make you get worn out of the comedy extremely fast. It is kind of like watching Nichijou, where it’s best served when you watch a few episodes at a time to not be overwhelmed by its over-the-top slapstick humor. Teekyu is meant to be watched every so often. But if you do want to watch an entire season or even the entire series to catch up where it is now, you can do that in less than a day. Just remember to take breaks when you feel overwhelmed.
I personally consider Teekyu to be one of comedy anime’s greatest. It’s not the best comedy per say, but the fast and energetic nature makes it one of a kind and worth the watch. Do not worry about the amount of seasons Teekyu has as each episode is about two minutes long. I guarantee you will have a great time if you embrace the anime for what it is.

[Old Review (written way before upload time, opinions may not be the same)] Teekyuu Review - Part 1 Comedy is funny. But comedy isn't for everyone. Since there are different branches. Teekyuu falls into parody. And usually, dedicated parody anime is good. Very good. Great. Masterpiece. There is no need to talk about the plot, no need to talk about characters, no need to talk about art, no need to talk about sound. Because they are all irrelevant from what is a ton of random events, speed through at just the right speeds to understand what is happening whilst concurrently not grasping everything, understanding that this parody isdone well. Usually resulting in laughter.
Teekyuu is not to be taken seriously. It is a dumb anime, about girls and tennis (when it feels like talking about tennis), that thrives off its stupidity making for some hilarious moments, with its abrupt changes within each episode making you think, "I see. God is real."
10/10. "Smoke Teekyuu every day, people."
Yellowly
This anime is hilarious. It's honestly just crazy and funny and the fast paced scenarios always leave you with mildly confused laughter. I like this anime and will definitely get through all the seasons up to Teekyuu 9 in one night. The comedy is quick, strange and whacky as hell, with no real plot or character development, it's still so fun to watch. Sometimes these short and comedic animes can get a little boring, or the humor seems way too forced, but Teekyuu is fresh and hysterical with each new episode. It's not hard to watch, you can watch the entire season in one sitting withoutthe episodes dragging on or getting stale. Really worth the quick watch!
chazzisfirewmoji
Alright let me get this clear it's fast paced and confusing but if you can keep up with it you can truly enjoy it. The characters are strange, that's the only way to put it. Even the 'normal girl' is weird. Not a single character is realistic or relatable, so if you're looking for that this is not for you, but if you over characters attempting to be 'relatable' look no farther this is for you. There really isn't a plot, it's more like random things happening quickly in the span of two minutes. Look it really doesn't hurt to watch the series, each episode is onlytwo minutes so the whole season only takes around the average episode length of the average anime, but Teekyuu isn't the average anime.
Skywarp
Teekyuu is quite an interesting viewing experience. What you get with this show is a short, sped up, wacky comedy about four girls who play tennis or something like that. I think this is the kind of show that a viewer would either find to be very annoying or hilarious. Me personality I thought it was really funny. The sheer crazyness of this show is the source of it's comedy. There where some funny references in here as well. Like a couple of slight nods to Dragon Ball Z(weighted clothing, "this is only my second form"). Overall this show is likely to be a hit ormiss with most viewers. I thought it was very funny and I had a good time watching it. The only issues where the OP taking up one quarter of an episode and keeping up with he subtitles. I had to pause and go back a few times to see all the dialogue. If you're even a little bit interested in watching this show try one episode. If you don't like it, then it's not for you.
NiromR
This is drugs but good. This was my first thought.Everything is going super fast it is like watching an anime in x2 speed.
I love it.
Every episode is only 2 minutes long, and I don't regret having used half an hour for this anime.
There is no reason not to watch this, you will see immediately if you like or not.
Like, what the f are you doing reading random review when you can just watch the anime, it is faster !!!!
go watch now. Judge by yourself !
personnaly,
I need more.
The is 9 season, I am going to watch all of them.
MisakiOji
99.9% Comedy 0.10% sport - Plot Not clear - the narration is too fast (feels like practicing reading & seeping every conversation quickly) - art is not good - Its duration is very less but if the focus is to enjoy this anime precisely comedy in the show feels very funny (to me)Anime Sport (x) Comedy Duration 2 minutes This Can Be said Very Far
of Information
Which should
Telling the antics of 4 female students from tennis club members, however
which is displayed even the behavior of characters & and often happens in every scene
precisely against the logic of human reason.
and I think
about the Portrait which can be thought to be deliberately made poorly
so we can focus on understanding the elements of comedy delivered quickly
through narration, scene shift And others.
do not care about people who think this anime is not good
the important thing i enjoy it.
