The movie of ‘Takagi-san: Prank Expert’ (‘Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san’) is getting closer, and we already have a new trailer to see what the summer holds for Nishitaka and Takagi.
Canon movie within anime?
‘Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san‘ is a completely original story that takes place during the summer of the third year in high school. Just one day before summer begins, Takagi and Nishitaka they are on their way home when they come across a kitten they call Hana and whom they decide to take care of until they can find his mother. Although it seems that it is set after the third season, what is not very clear is whether it will be canon within the story or simply one more adventure that can be seen apart from the anime.
Hiroaki Akaki He returns as director after directing the first season of the anime. The original script is by Hiroko Fukuda, Aki Itami, and Kan’ichi Katō, and it has already been confirmed that the series’ original voice actors will return to voice their characters, including Rie Takahashi like Takagi and yuki kaji like Nishikata.
The film opens in Japan on June 10thbut at the moment there is no news of a possible international premiere and it is most likely that it will arrive directly on streaming… so if it is finally the case, we will have to see on which platform we will be able to see it.
For now we have to do a little gymkhana to see ‘Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san’ in full from Spain. The first season is available on Crunchyroll and the second on Netflix. The third installment of the anime aired earlier this year during the winter season, but the distribution rights are held by Sentai Filmworks so we’re still a bit in limbo as to when it will hit certain territories.
A fourth season of the anime has not been confirmed yet, but the original manga of Sōichirō Yamamoto is still in publication and has also spawned three spin-offs, so there is still plenty of material to adapt into more movies or animated specials.
The anime ‘Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san’ follows a high school student named nishitakawho is the butt of jokes from her classmate and neighbor, Takagi. He tries to get revenge for all the embarrassment he puts him through, but Takagi is always ahead of his plans.
