Koushi sees how stressful supporting Takane’s time-traveling public indecency can be.
Episode 2 — “Let Me Redo It Until I’m Satisfied.”
Hmm. Takamine-san and the Perfect Girlfriend?
Takane Takamine aims to be Koushi Shirota’s crazy, more-perfect-than-perfect girlfriend. How do we know that? She said so! Not the girlfriend part, but we could tell. Who else would send a sexy morning selfie? She even picked out a pet name for her pet: Kurota-kun. That’s a play on Koushi’s surname and calling him her “closet.” What about the better-than-perfect aspect of Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san?
One aphorism we usually hear for accepting reality is, “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” That’s a practical attitude for moving on after deeming a job “good enough.” But what if you had a time-rewinding ability like “Eternal Virgin Road?” Would you be so petty as to redo everything to achieve perfection? Takane’s ambition surprised Koushi. She read a line from a poem to coincide with a breeze to create a dramatic moment with more impact. For whose benefit?
The scene bolsters her public reputation, but Koushi’s presence adds another dimension to Takamine-san. Takane can share the process of improvement with him and share a secret. She can finally have an interpersonal relationship.
Sharing secrets or being a co-conspirator creates deeper bonds. Takane must have felt so lonely as she pursued her sense of being better-than-perfect. Now, she has a partner in crime. The crime of getting away with public indecency!
Oh, one more thing: Who is this guy with the sparkles around him? I suspect that’s foreshadowing for a future love rival for Koushi. How will Takamine-san handle that? We shall see.
Heh.
Oh no. What a nightmare. A hot, crazy lady forces you to carry her underwear. How terrible. Main Character Syndrome includes sexual hangups. Sexy times are icky! Look! The hot, crazy lady sent Koushi a morning selfie in bed. Run away, Koushi. How terrible for you. Sigh. How quickly will Takamine-san tear down this wall of moral preening and hesitation?
Haha. The opening credits’ music makes Takamine-san sound like a regular high school romance. And it could have been, except for all the panties flying around.
Poor Koushi. His days of stressfully dodging indecent exposure and carrying a bag full of fresh panties begin today. He and Takane are partners: the closet and its owner. Takane has a designer bag. Is that her lingerie supplier? Oof. Koushi learns the rules of his closet gig. He must even replace her underwear during class! Have fun. Takane might eventually reward him! Doubtful, though. Her ability’s name suggests it stops working if she’s no longer an “eternal virgin.” Takamine-san is all about the tease.
Takamine-san Fanservice Not Good Enough!
Wow. Takane was not kidding about how she uses her time-rewind power. She uses it for everything! Even for timing breezes to make reading a poem better. Ha. She’s so proud to share how she improved her reading with Koushi. Time to get to work, Kurota-kun! Half an episode of putting Koushi on the spot. Takane is relentless. Put the panties on all the way up!
The Takamine-san eye catches put Takane in comfortable coveralls, but was she wearing that extra-fancy lingerie underneath? We need verification!
Pull Up Your Panties Yourself, Takamine-san!
Oh boy. This does not qualify for the hidden sex tag. Koushi failed to put Takane’s panties on perfectly. Try again! Koushi performs well when he’s desperate. Ha! He did get a reward — feeling silky smooth thigh pressure. Ohoho. Takane also received a reward. Knee nudging puffy peach vulva!
Oh, sure. Takane only wanted to test how creative Koushi could be. And to confirm how possessive he is over her panties. He’s her exclusive closet, don’t you know? But Takane is unprepared to admit he pushed her pleasure button. She has control issues if you haven’t noticed. How will she tease him tomorrow?
The Takamine-san end credits will make feet and fingernail fans happy.
Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san (Please Put Them On, Takamine-san) streams the “least-censored web version” on Crunchyroll in English audio and subtitles in multiple languages. These recaps and reviews will feature the most “cultured” broadcast version.
What? No nudity? Did Takamine-san only front-load the first episode with cultured fanservice? What a tease! Oh, that’s what this show is about. I hope the anime throws us a bone next time. Or more of a boner… What are the odds of redemption? Let us know in the comments below!
