In some ways Teekyus just another show, but its presentation makes it the most unique anime on this list. It adapts a gag manga about four cute girls who dont play tennis, but rather than covering each chapter in 5 or 10 or 20 minutes, it adapts them in quick 2 minute segments (including a 30 second OP). Because of this, the pacing is INCREDIBLY fast, which works surprisingly well! The director knows how to use animation effectively (I think he animated the first few seasons of the show himself), and the style fits with the rapid fire gags the show throws otu. It basically never gets boring, because even if theres a bad episode, its done in two minutes and the badness barely sticks. Good episodes can leave you in stitches due to how fast the great jokes come out.

Of course, just being directed and presented well isnt enough to make a show great. The fundamentals are there too. The four main characters are pretty great (though Im not a fan of how much the MC tsukkomis). Bandou is by far my favorite, since everything she does is so damn random. Basically nothing she does ever makes sense, and everyone acknowledges how insane she is. She frequently goes to jail for eating other girls panties, which is great. The other two are just about as ridiculous. Nasunos money obsession isnt always funny, but the way she uses it for incredibly stupid reasons can be great. The minor characters are great too, especially the alien who basically becomes a main character eventually. And the quality continues for a full 9 seasons. Absolutely remarkable.
