Teekyuu English Sub & Dub

About Teekyuu

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Teekyuu (てーきゅう) deserves a look (2012). The setup goes like this. In short: 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 longs; Nasuno Takamiya is incredibly rich and knows how to make things go her way. 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.

As things develop, when these four girls come together, insanity ensues in this lightning-paced comedy about a tennis club that doesn't really play tennis.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Kyouko Narumi as Nasuno Takamiya and Suzuko Mimori as Kanae Shinjou. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

On the casting side, Kyouko Narumi voicing Nasuno Takamiya gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 2012, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
