Haite Kudasai Takamine-san [Season 1 Episode 2]

“Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san” Episode 2: A Rollercoaster of Awkwardness and Absurdity

If you thought the first episode of Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san was wild, buckle up because Episode 2 cranks the absurdity up to eleven. Takamine-san, the seemingly perfect high school goddess with her “Eternal Virgin Road” ability, continues to torment poor Shirota Koushi in ways that defy logic, physics, and basic human decency. And honestly? Fans are eating it up—though not without some mixed feelings.

The Plot (Or Lack Thereof)

This episode picks up right where the first left off: Shirota is still stuck in his bizarre role as Takamine’s personal underwear assistant. This time, the task escalates from awkward to downright impossible—putting on her panties in the middle of class. Yes, you read that right. While the rest of the class remains blissfully unaware (or just plain blind), Shirota struggles through the most nerve-wracking mission of his life.

Fans on MyAnimeList and other forums had a field day dissecting this scene. One user hilariously pointed out, “Not even Mission Impossible’s Ethan Hunt could pull this off, but Shirota somehow manages.” Another joked, “This is just foreplay in the middle of class.” The sheer ridiculousness of the scenario is what makes it so entertaining, even if it makes zero sense.

Takamine’s Ruthless Charm

Takamine-san is the star of the show, and Episode 2 solidifies her as a chaotic force of nature. She’s manipulative, teasing, and downright cruel to Shirota—yet fans can’t help but be drawn to her. One commenter summed it up perfectly: “Takamine is a menace, but she does it in such a seductive way—damn, she just oozes sensuality.”

Her “Eternal Virgin Road” ability, which lets her redo past actions, is used here for something as trivial as making Shirota re-attempt her underwear mission. Some fans found this repetitive (“Why waste a time-travel ability on panties?”), while others loved the absurdity (“She’s using her skill for tiny things like that. What a menace.”).

Shirota: The Ultimate Victim (Or Lucky Bastard?)

Shirota’s suffering is the backbone of the comedy. Whether he’s being blackmailed, humiliated, or accidentally brushing against Takamine’s “promise land” (as one fan dramatically put it), his reactions are pure gold. The fandom is split on whether to pity him or envy him. “Shirota is a victim, but TBH, I love Takamine-san’s personality. Since this is an ecchi anime, I don’t feel bad for him,” one user wrote.

The classroom scene, where Shirota kneels to adjust Takamine’s underwear, had fans howling. “19:10—OH BOY, she liked that,” someone timestamped, referencing the moment Takamine visibly enjoyed the contact. It’s moments like these that make the show so shamelessly entertaining.

The Elephant in the Room: The Butterfly Scene

One major gripe among fans is the “Virgin Road” animation—a 45-second sequence of a butterfly fluttering through a door. Many found it unnecessarily long and repetitive. “Let’s hope they cut this scene shorter in future episodes,” pleaded one viewer. Another added, “Watching a butterfly cross a door for almost 50 seconds can get annoying.”

Final Verdict: Peak Degeneracy or Hidden Gem?

The reactions to Episode 2 are polarizing. Some called it “true peak degenerate anime,” while others felt it was already getting stale. “This anime is trash, and so are we,” one fan admitted with zero shame.

But here’s the thing: Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san isn’t trying to be deep. It’s unapologetically absurd, packed with fan service, and designed for laughs. As one fan wisely put it, “Don’t try to put so much sense into this anime because its purpose doesn’t allow it!”

If you’re here for logic, you’re in the wrong place. But if you want a ridiculous, over-the-top ecchi comedy with a sadistic heroine and a perpetually flustered MC, Episode 2 delivers in spades. Just don’t watch it with your family—unless you’re prepared for some very awkward questions.

Rating: 7/10 (for sheer audacity alone)

P.S. The ED is a banger, and no one can argue with that.
