| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Every plan has used in order to win, in the end it was the team work that was the one to win all thanks to Index-girl and Tomoka's believe in her. Followed by Tomoka vs Subaru rematch of 50 shoots to get his coaching back. lol @ his "confession" to tall girl (Last Order-chan). Improvement to Subaru talking to girls is lol~ Subaru telling Tomoka like that... makes me not sure if he likes her or just her shootings. Became Wives??!! |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Hinata's charm made for a very cute moment and a charging violation for the Boy's team. Tomoka and Subaru blushing, oh man those feelings are slowly coming, but anything more than that won't be animated most likely. |

This episode totally sucked shit with the boy’s match but it got me excited enough for their match. My 2 favorites scenes were of Tomoka’s pose shooting as follows, It was nice because she was seen as like a angel by Subaru thus the part in the OP of her. The other part is Tomoka as follows,  I just think the MOE is shown nicely there in regards to Tomoka. About the match, it starts with a beautiful flashback of that last scoring. I learn that according to the following spoiler It goes on with a boy dribbling while everyone is on guard and he shoots! Oh no! A miss! Ball bounced from the rim! This does not look good at all but wait oh what a evolution list up!
WTF are you all talking about? This match was shit! The boys were buffoons for the Hinata tactic and for leaving Maho unguarded! This was totally a miracle win. There is nothing more than those 2 factors that I outline below in response to another post. Nothing more. Points for the after match party,

Just my IMO is that Aria is > Hinata. It's Aria expressions that are more appealing to the ones of Hinata. Clearly there needs to be a re-match and the boys should smarten up! They can like so use parc courts or other schools through connection or like recreational centers. You must be stupid to think all you have is one basketball court in the whole city. Seriously. My male pride is hurt though. TBH. You are talking to someone who was a captain of a basketball team and lead them to the semi-finals against the teachers of our school. I went through my share of this in this game TBH. |
| pretty sure this is just going to be a Loli Harem with a bit of basketball xD |

QueueQ said: With that they decided to put after the game instead of extending it to over time, yeah you are right. pretty sure this is just going to be a Loli Harem with a bit of basketball xD I want a re-match against the boys somehow. Like WTF are they going to do now that the match is over? Maybe start a tournament against other basketball teams of girls like in high school or something. No serious this my though about the game: It sucked! WTF were the boys doing at the end leaving Maho unguarded or not going for a possible interception? Seriously the game was won by 2 factors:
Blackbird said: Subaru might have improvement talking with girls, but indeed sound like a confessed lol. I am 100% sure that Tomoka like Subaru. Indeed I have 4 flag points.
My other flag moment is the obvious Airi one.
Blackbird said: That was quite something indeed in the spoiler That was quite funny in the end hehe. ^_^ Well everyone love Subaru. |

| I thought Tomoka would get it in but Maho made the last goal, Subaru might have improvedment talking with girls, but indeed sound like a confessed lol. I am 100% sure that Tomoka like Subaru. That was quite funny in the end hehe. ^_^ Well everyone love Subaru. I don't know what is going on next episode, probably will be that way. Subaru regained his passion for Basket. Very likely there will be a tournament or something. |

| Is Subaru going to overlook Aoi for Tomoka? Should be interesting, I like Aoi though. Lol at shikkaku fansubs for putting in your pants after Get Fired Up for the title of next episode, I don't know if that's actually part of the title though. |

You must be stupid to think all you have is one basketball court in the whole city. Seriously. Well seeing as part of the reason they lost was that they were arrogant, over-confident little jerks... yeah, they probably didn't think of that. Maybe they will now that they've had some of that wind knocked out of them by losing to the girls team. God knows they needed it. o(>< )o o( ><)o They'll hopefully end up better players for it too as they should have learned that they can't take future opponents (male or female) lightly. Yumekichi11 said: It sucked! WTF were the boys doing at the end leaving Maho unguarded or not going for a possible interception? See the above, they weren't guarding her because they considered Tomoka to be the only threat, even their coach/adviser thought that, and it ended up costing them the game. Arrogance/over-confidence is the downfall of many people, and that happens in real-life sports all the time (we've got a local college team around here that's rather notorious for getting over-confident and losing games in the second half due to it). （￣ー￣） Kudos to the girls for thinking of that though, they're learning how to play as a team already, even with very little real coaching. Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ What's actually surprising, and many people commented on this in the last episode's thread, was that these boys were supposedly district champions. And they were never in command of that game, not even after the half when 4/5ths of the girls were worn out and could barely play. They were, at best evenly matched. Sure Subaru used some tricks, like with Hinata, but all that really did was buy some time, it didn't win them the game. The only free throws we saw the girls' team make were by Tomoka for something that was an actual foul (albeit accidental). Seems the boys were all talk and no skills, or they were so over-confident that even after getting behind they didn't get serious about playing. Either way that's not the mark of a championship team. （￣へ￣） I really was hoping for a better image of Hinata in that dress she had on at the party, it looked really cute, but it never really showed it very well. ―(T_T)→ |
Yumekichi11 said:
That blush was my favorite part too (aside from seeing her panties haha). Yeah, I tried to rationalize it by their ages. Tomoka has to be about 12 and Subaru is probably around 16 (maybe 15) but I'm just going off American school ages. It is weird but I wonder if this show will try to handle it like Lotte no Omocha where they just played down the whole lolicon thing and the sexual aspect and focused more on a friendship sort of thing. I don't know if that makes sense, let's just root for Aoi anyway. |
| The scene I'm waiting for (which is going to happen if this follows every other anime) when Subaru is walking with Tomoka or Aoi and the other female see's them thus causing a mass mental breakdown. |
Blacksaber said: The scene I'm waiting for (which is going to happen if this follows every other anime) when Subaru is walking with Tomoka or Aoi and the other female see's them thus causing a mass mental breakdown. I'm about as sure that something similar to that will happen as I'm sure the sky is blue. |
| 50 free throws in a row? Geez, I'd be happy to make two in a row! |

| Well.. when you tripple team you WILL leave someone wide open but you're banking they will not get chance to effect the game. Also the move Subaru puts on Aoi is the same move Tomoka puts on Him later on so I assume there may be some more 1 on 1 practices ;p |
| I always thought making 50 free throws would be impossible for her. I can barely make less than 5 free throws in a row. |
| Welp, I made 10 in a row and I don't play basketball that much. 50 is possible for Tomoka since the ring is adjusted for loli's "Oh Mokkan. So you want to give him what is precious to us girls", "I will give him mine as well" Oh you lucky Subaru. |
| Now that this arc is over, I wonder what the next arc is? Maybe the championships or something like that. Why do they always need to have some cosplay outfit whenever he enters their gym. |
 |
| The whole romance thing between tomoka and subaru is just adorable <3 Couldn't stop smiling. Show is turning out to entertain me more than I thought it would. |
 |
| Shikkaku's "in your pants" attached to "Get fired up!" at the end. Oh you. |

| Master => Oniichan => Darling Aw man that Subaru is one luckiest bastards in the world, the girls giving him a welcoming fanservice every times he returns. Only this time with naked apron (...well not really. There are swimsuits underneath.) Tomoka got all jealous after Subaru confessed to Airi. :D She must really want him. Oh and I can't help but laugh when Subaru's classmate mentions how she was unable to grow any taller |

icycoldpepsi said: Yeah I agree with your point but it's only one of the many I expressed.Yumekichi11 said: This match was shit! The boys were buffoons for the Hinata tactic and for leaving Maho unguarded! Since i really can't be bothered getting everything you said about the match being bullshit, I'd just like to point out that the main objective of the girl's team was not to show any sort of skill to the boy's team, but the keep the club intact. So cheap tactics such as Hinata's charm are approved. Also, these are elementary schoolers. You can't blame them for falling for cheap tactics if you want to think so realistically about this anime. kthxbai To be short, it has to do in having put more efforts with a over time period. Well you can't deny how happy I was in the beginning with the boys performing really good and right at that time where the boys say we win, I was right after O_O due to the Maho pass just saying it was still good. It's more the execution of the match that could have been better instead of adding after party, fireworks and flags parts. They better do a amazing match soon. This match was good to start off with. |
13man18 said: Now that this arc is over, I wonder what the next arc is? Maybe the championships or something like that. Why do they always need to have some cosplay outfit whenever he enters their gym. Since RKB is slated to only have 12 eps, we won't see much outside competition for the girls, unfortunately. Unless we have two options: 1. Make matches only last for 2-3 eps, 1 ep games are much better, but then, I don't think they could reach the district tournament under this set-up, considering the shape the girls are in right now. So, a sixth man could really, really help the team progress outside of school. 2. Settle for a "Dear Boys"-like team until RKB can get a Season 2 where they probably can feature the sixth man. IMO, I prefer #1 if only the series is slated beyond 12 eps. How sad. -Quasar said: ninjaluc79 said: -snip- Except Tomoka didn't ballhog and airball it like Kobe did. It was a intentional pass from Tomoka to Maho. Well, that's the main difference of that. But if you look closely at the fanfares of the actual NBA game and the RKB game, you would notice some similarities. I mean, heck, look at the face of the Suns coach. It looks like just the same as the way the boys' coach sulked at their defeat. EDIT: On another thought, OMG! RKB has an all-star cast! I won't be surprised if they get KugiRie to play a tsundere sixth man! |

ninjaluc79 said: I would say not likely because she's playing several main roles already but we're talking Kugimiya Rie here. She's one of those extremely overworked type of seiyuu. Hanazawa Kana is well on her way to over-saturation too...who I might add voices Tomoka in RKB.I won't be surprised if they get KugiRie to play a tsundere sixth man! |

| Good episode, but I dunno if I should find Subaru "confession" to the tall girl cuto or kind of creepy (leaning towards creepy). Also Subaru have some feelings for tomoka- which I'm going to be honest I really don't want to see- and it looks like it's going to grow some more during the season. |
 |
| Hina taking a flop was predictable enough, and is definately a realistic move if not necessarily a legal one. I believe excessive flopping can be grounds for a technical foul or some such ... I'm pretty rusty on my basketball rules. I hope Subaru plans on eventually teaching her how to play, and not just have her there as a flop machine. I'm also glad they answered one of my questions from last week, showing that yes, the boy's team does have a bench (at least 4 alternates). That would also explain why they outpaced the lolis until the very end. Their ace player probably plays the full 40 or whatever minutes tho. The second half was more Subaru x Tomoka relationship building. If those two DON'T end up in some kind of lolicon relationship I'll be surprised, and disappointed. I don't want him to wind up with Aoi, I hate her character trope, pantsu flashes or not. I'd honestly love it if he turned the team into his personal loli harem but I doubt that's the direction they're going in this series, AT-X or no. :P I found the 50 free throws pretty believable, especially considering how much she practiced and how many times she tried and failed before succeeding. Sometimes she made it to 25, sometimes in the 30s, but the more she did it the more likely she'd make 50/50. I'm digging this series, it's one of the 13 shows I'm watching I have no plans to drop. The lolis are just too cute, and the outfits they use to greet Subaru keep getting hotter as well. 5/5 |
| He could technically fake to stop coaching them, just to see how they would dress up for the next time he comes back. The records for free throw that i've heard of are 1663 in an hour, but not consecutive, and with several ball-givers. Or somewhere around 200 consecutive throws in an hour. |

Yumekichi11 said: You got it wrong, the boys were not all talk. They had the skills. The Layups were nice from the boys and their dodging was good too. They are fast like Tomoka except Tomoka is faster but only when she wants to Yes they were, the facts speak for themselves. They were down by 6 points after the half (score 10 to 16), the final score was 32 to 33. So in the 2nd half, against a team that 4/5s (or simpler, only one had decent play experience and endurance) of has almost no play experience, and were worn out (no endurance either), they managed to score just 22 points (which is probably decent for a 6 minute half). But they also gave up 17 points (15 of which were before the final shot) during that same half, against that same weak, worn out team. I don't care how good Tomoka is, that's abysmal defense on their part. Which may be true, seeing as up by 1 point with seconds left they relied on triple teaming Tomoka and completely ignored the rest of the girls. No one even ran over to try for the rebound! They also had a huge advantage in their team being bigger, allowing for substitution of fresh players. There were at least 8 boy players (one's hidden behind the adviser, but you can see his shorts between the adviser's pants legs.) Unless every single team in the district is pitiful, that's not the play of a district championship team, not at all. So yes, they were all talk, if they actually do have skills they left them at home for that game. Even over-confidence & arrogance doesn't explain the failure of defense at the end. When you're in a 1 point game with seconds left, you simply do not have the game won. -Quasar said: "Oh Mokkan.

| I think this show is a little underrated. I find it kind of endearing lol. |
| "Her form is beautiful, as always" Lolicon prince sounds about right for Subaru. They've actually got a romance starting with all the blushing between him and Tomoka... Saw the ending coming, though didn't expect it to be wives this time. Lol Hinata is still the best ofc. |
 |
ZeroZx said: Most of his lines are actually just easy to misinterpret, just as how the nurse and his aunt discuss whether Subaru was thinking of her on a more romantic sense or purely praising her talent when he came up with Tomoka's nickname. Of course this is done on purpose by the show, but I'm sure he's just oblivious, like every other ecchi/harem lead."Her form is beautiful, as always" Lolicon prince sounds about right for Subaru. They've actually got a romance starting with all the blushing between him and Tomoka... |
|
| The boy's coach is a big moron but this anime is great! it exeeded my expectations... 5/5 |
| I really want to for Aoi to be the love interest, i do like lolis from time to time, but elementary students its just too much >.< |
 |
| You go girls... |
 |
| FLAGS! So many flags everywhere! Anyway, decent episode, kept me entertained. I wonder where things will go from now. 4/5. |
| Best part was the "Welcome back, darling" XD In a great ep of course. |
 |
| He just loves looking at her curv-- eh form. He turning into a full pledged lolicon just as I'd feared! >.< Great episode though. The basketball match kinda reminded me of the one in Clannad. You just know they're going to make it with one point difference in the last second. Still nice to watch though! Tomoka actually tried and managed to do 50 free throws in a row even though she didn't really need to in order to get Subaru back as their coach. I loved the was she was flustered when she was in Subaru's room. ^^ |

Hoppy said: There's more than that in the manga? If so I might consider reading it.Tomoka and Subaru blushing, oh man those feelings are slowly coming, but anything more than that won't be animated most likely. Lol, I so expected them to be dressed as maides again, haha. Hinata was gorgeous yet again. |
