Teekyu

The story follows the everyday lives of four girls of the Kameido High School's tennis club. The series' focus is not really on tennis, but on the wacky and eccentric characters, with strange object associations and even stranger misconceptions, on their many random adventures. These adventures have included traveling to an army base, going skiing, helping a cake shop owner with financial troubles, and helping an alien refuel her spaceship.

:Yuri is the only member of the club who actually knows how to play tennis. She is considered the only normal girl in the entire group who takes things seriously, much to her chagrin.

;{{Nihongo|Kanae Shinjo|新庄 かなえ|Shinjō Kanae}}

:{{voiced by|Suzuko Mimori}}

:Kanae is a second year student though she does not act like it at times. She likes to do things that break norms, such as getting a tennis racket with strings made from her grandmother's hair or sleeping by standing up and with her head against the wall, and sometimes even breaks laws of physics, such as sinking into solid ground or splitting herself in two. She tends to freak out Yuri and/or Nasuno in the process.

Having returned from a trip in Ngaoundéré, Cameroon, she wants to try out for the tennis club, though she has no idea how to play begin the most normal of the Second Year students.

{{main|List of Teekyu episodes}}

Announcement of an anime adaptation of Teekyu came in August 2012, alongside the release of the first tankobon. The announcement came five months after the manga was first published, the fastest manga-release-to-anime-announcement time that Earth Star Entertainment has ever had. Each episode of the anime is about 2 minutes long, so characters speak and actions are performed at a very quick pace, with shortcuts used to save time on animation sometimes. Shin Itagaki is the director and writer for each season.

The series has had nine seasons so far. The first season aired between October 7 and December 23, 2012, the second one between July 7 and September 22, 2013,{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-06-26/crunchyroll-to-stream-teekyu-anime-2nd-season|title=Crunchyroll to Stream Teekyū Anime's 2nd Season|publisher=Anime News Network|date=June 26, 2013|accessdate=October 24, 2013|archive-date=September 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909173150/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-06-26/crunchyroll-to-stream-teekyu-anime-2nd-season|url-status=live}} and the third one between October 6 and December 22, 2013.{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-10-03/crunchyroll-to-stream-white-album-2-3rd-season-of-teekyu-anime|title=Crunchyroll to Stream White Album 2, 3rd Season of Teekyū Anime|publisher=Anime News Network|date=October 3, 2013|accessdate=October 24, 2013|archive-date=September 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909163125/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-10-03/crunchyroll-to-stream-white-album-2-3rd-season-of-teekyu-anime|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://natalie.mu/comic/news/99354|script-title=ja:「てーきゅう」アニメ3期で関西進出、サンテレビでも放送|language=Japanese|publisher=Natalie.mu|date=September 13, 2013|accessdate=September 13, 2013|archive-date=September 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909163132/https://natalie.mu/comic/news/99354|url-status=live}} The fourth season aired from April 6, 2015 to June 22, 2015.{{cite web | url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-04-06/crunchyroll-streams-teekyu-4th-season-takamiya-nasuno-desu-anime/.86818 | title=Crunchyroll Streams Teekyu 4th Season, Takamiya Nasuno Desu!

Takamiya Nasuno Desu! received a 12-episode adaptation, and aired on the same days as the fourth season of Teekyu, from April 6, 2015 to June 22, 2015. Like Teekyu, each episode is two minutes in length, and character speech and actions are performed at a quick pace. Shin Itagaki is also the director and writer for this series.

Usakame received a 12-episode adaptation from April 11, 2016 to June 27, 2016.

There was a stage play adaptation of Teekyu called {{Nihongo|"Butai-ban Teekyu Senpai to Meguriau Jikantachi"|舞台版てーきゅう　～先輩とめぐりあう時間たち～}} ("Stage Play Edition Teekyu: The Times to Come Across with Senpai"), about a musical being put on by the tennis club members during their high school's Culture Festival. The play was performed at Japan Newart College Omori Campus Theater in Tokyo, Japan, from July 29 and August 2, 2015.{{cite web|url = http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/06/01/teekyu-gets-stage-play-adaptation-this-summer|publisher = Crunchyroll|date = 1 June 2015|accessdate = 9 June 2015|author = Komatsu Mikikazu|title = "Teekyu" Gets Stage Play Adaptation This Summer}}

Chris Beveridge of The Fandom Post, reviewing the first three episodes, gave the anime a C, stating that he enjoyed the comedy, but the short length of the episodes and the quick pace ruined the experience.{{cite web|last1=Beveridge|first1=Chris|title=Teekyu Episode #01 – 02 Anime Review|url=http://www.fandompost.com/2012/10/14/teekyu-episode-01-02-anime-review/|publisher=The Fandom Post|accessdate=14 September 2015|date=14 October 2012|archive-date=6 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180406040552/http://www.fandompost.com/2012/10/14/teekyu-episode-01-02-anime-review/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last1=Beveridge|first1=Chris|title=Teekyu Episode #03 Anime Review|url=http://www.fandompost.com/2012/10/21/teekyu-episode-03-anime-review/|publisher=The Fandom Post|accessdate=14 September 2015|date=21 October 2012|archive-date=6 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180406173929/http://www.fandompost.com/2012/10/21/teekyu-episode-03-anime-review/|url-status=live}} Ryan Hand of B-TEN, reviewing the first 3 seasons, gave the show a 5.25 out of 10, again stating that he enjoyed the show and its characters (despite there being no character development). However, he criticized the poor animation and art, although he commented on how it fits the fast-paced action of the show.{{cite web|last1=Hand|first1=Ryan|title=Anime Review - Teekyu|url=http://b-ten.com/2014/02/08/anime-review-teekyu/ |publisher=B-TEN: Technology and Entertainment News|accessdate=14 September 2015|date=8 February 2012}} It has been suggested that the show has not been as well received outside of Japan due to the language barrier for non-native speakers, causing difficulty in following the unusually fast-paced dialogue.

The official Twitter account for the franchise has over 20,000 followers.{{cite web|title=6期は10月から！てーきゅう公式|url=https://twitter.com/te_kyu|website=Twitter|accessdate=14 September 2015|archive-date=8 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211108094959/https://twitter.com/te_kyu|url-status=live}}
