Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro

GOD, I love too much IjiranaideNagatoro-san.

Yes, it is one more romantic comedy, but it happens that its characters are so endearing. The dynamic between these is reinforced little by little as the series progresses, and new characters who were initially annoying, are now an important part. The two leads complement each other very well and it never feels like it's forced, it all works together. I hope a second season comes out as soon as possible, I need more.

Great show I wish there was more episodes already like it's such a amazing show!!

I don't want to judge manga or whatever here, I did not read it except for 1 chapter due to my fetish. Writing this review after watching 2 episodes and I am quite impressed.

SCENES: Scenes are pretty funny and aesthetic. Music fits great, animations looks decent. Scenes part is main here, the purpose of this anime is to call some emotions, not necessarily funny, sometimes anger or disgust but it is okay.

CHARACTERS: Even though the comedy genre is primary, I can still feel the character's emotions by story telling/facial expressions like I'm watching a good drama. Someone can be kind of confused about Nagatoro and treat her as a negative character, but it's quite opposite and it reveals at the very beginning. She actually makes senpai a better person in her peculiar way.

PLOT: It contains good, comprehensive storytelling that makes characters motivations and choices fairly clear.

Some bullying parts are a little weird but this show is really funny. Probably one of the funniest animes of recent times. The face Nagatoro makes when she becomes angry at her friends is priceless.

Naoto Hachioji is a shy second year student who avoids others and spends most of his time alone in the art room. One day first year girl Hayase Nagatoro encounters him, and on seeing the manga he drew, starts to tease him. Soon she and her friends are heading to the art room to tease him some more. Sensing his awkwardness they flirt with him... while neither can admit it they start to develop feelings for each other... that doesn't mean she will stop teasing him.

On the face of it a comedy about somebody being bullied doesn't sound too appealing; however this manages to pull it off as it becomes clear to the viewer fairly early on that our two protagonists have unstated feelings for each other. Every episode has plenty of laughs and Nagatoro and her friends do occasionally, and hilariously, fall victim to their own schemes. All of the characters are entertaining in their own way and none are as cruel as they first appear. The animation and character designs are good. Overall I'd certainly recommend this series... I just wish there were more episodes.
