Teekyuu (てーきゅう — lit. "Tennis") is a Slice of Life sports comedy focusing on four precocious school students as they deal with the typical lifestyle of the average teenage high-schooler: Struggling through class, making new friends, being part of school activities, playing sports, cooking, stealing panties, digging up mummies in Egypt with their withered, senile grandmother, befriending an alien and going to their planet......Wait, what?Teekyuu is the acid-induced love child of writer Roots and illustrator Piyo. It was serialized from 2012 to 2018 as a manga in Earth Star Entertainment's Comic Star Magazine, and was adapted the same year it began into a 2-minute, short format anime by Tokyo Metropolitan Station. Shin Itagaki not only directed the show, but also scripted, edited, storyboarded, and even composed music for it. The series is currently running on Crunchyroll, currently at nine seasons consisting of twelve episodes each.note In the time it takes you to watch one episode of a standard-format anime series, you can watch an entire season of Teekyuu.

Absurdism: The series' humour jumps between this and surrealism, almost bordering dadaism. Though the episodes sometimes follow a theme, the logical non-sequiturs of the plot usually happen in a matter of seconds, and more often than not, they are never resolved.

Only Sane Man: Yuri usually takes this role, but when the other tennis club members are absent, Marimo ironically ends up taking that role instead despite being arguably the craziest of them. Likewise, Youta takes this role in Takamiya Nasuno Desu! and Ayako does in Usakame.

Motor Mouth. HOOO boy. While most short-format anime, even Gag Series anime between four and ten minutes long, will go at a slower pace to let its viewers get an understanding of what is being conveyed, Teekyu takes and runs with this trope into the ground, having every character, even those who show up for a scene or two for one episode, speak their lines a mile per millisecond to the point where, if you blink, you've missed an entire episode.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming
 Teekyuu (Manga) / int_ac4ac8e5
comment
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each episode title is "X With Senpai", the X being the name of a famous movie. Some have included Ju-on With Senpai! and The Grand Budapest Hotel with Senpai! Usually, the episodes have elements ancillary to the movies themselves, but have very little to do with the movie's plot. For example Men in Black with Senpai has to do with alien life forms and Mad Max with Senpai has harassing thugs that dress like the movie's characters. Then there's Ted with Senpai, which simply has a talking bear who Kanae and Marimo ask about tips to hibernate.

Conversation Cut: A Visual Running Gag of sorts in a series that goes as fast as Teekyu, typically induced by some form of Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick. Within one second, a character will be having a perfectly normal conversation, relayed by still frames of the locations of what they're talking about, (i.e., a day at school), then, all of a sudden, they or another person will completely derail themselves by injecting with a non-sequitur that will transport the group to Mars or back in time.
