| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The "Newcomer Team" of the Nikko Dream Monkeys are doing what they know best: CGDCT, and more ice hockey beginner training under Coach Yoko. Calm down, woman, you're being so scary. Riko is pushing Naomi hard back into ice hockey for her enthusiasm because they were very apt at their skillsets (the former obviously ice hockey and the latter in figure skating), and Manaka is also treading along the others (Kaoruko, Mami, younger sister Ayaka) with the trial class from the previous episode. With the TV "exclusive" coverage, Yoko sure wants that screentime at her very best, it almost sounds condescending. The warm-ups are DEFINITELY dance forms though, and at least the other coach Matsunaga does the regular proper supervision. Things are just getting started, and this 6-girl "Next-Gen Team" looks shape to rouse the scene, starting with Naomi's school transfer that affects the team's formation. For now, think of this as a CGDCT show more than anything. Heck, this is bringing me back to Cinderella Nine levels of decency. |

| I think this works better as a CGDCT. I didn't even expect this to be a serious ice hockey anime in the first place. Let's not wait for another Miracle on Ice. :) |
 |
| School transferred this early? Was it gonna happen real? or it was an excuse from Mami because she did not want to join the ice hockey team for some reason. Let's see what will happen next. Serafos said: I think this works better as a CGDCT. I didn't even expect this to be a serious ice hockey anime in the first place. Could not agree more. In my opinion, this anime is a CGDCT from the beginning. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Hmm training with that coach girl but I don't really like her behavior... sudden drama with random girl n°465 who changes school and will have to stop hokey, nothing truly interesting xD |
 |
| Was a great episode, saying what the anime is about with the coach explanation, and the characters having a life other than just playing hockey. If Mami really transfer, the production already have the substitute to make 6 players. |
 |
| Watching 2 episodes of this was pretty fun to i have to say that they probably managed to piss of the Canadians with that starter episode. This episode was nice as well we got some more info on the girls and the look like a nice group so for tho i wonder if they also realise that ice hockey can also be a pretty harsh sport, tho that's what fun about it. Used to play it as well when i was still a child and always enjoyed it a lot. I wonder what Mami will do and i also wonder about the influence of the other girl will be. |

| I also agree this works well as a CGDCT. I liked this episode quite a bit also. Looking forward to the next one! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| This is the first ""CGDCT"" anime I've checked out and it's a really big change of pace for me. Regardless, I love hockey and I'm hoping they put some more love and attention into the sport. |

| This show is pretty good so far. I felt bad for the girl who would transfer to the other school. I'm curious to the other girl (who has a long dark hair) who acted as a wild card in the show. I am expecting more of this anime. :) |
 My main candies:      Bonus Candies:  |
| Pretty good episode and pretty chill and relaxing. Except at the end there, I don't want Mami to transfer. The Ryokan filming was nice, I like how Kaoruko and Mami just casually inserted themselves lmao. Yoko is definitely my favorite character here, I really like her energy, it's contagious. I wonder how the last girl will join though, I hope she won't be a Mami replacement. |
 |
| I hope this isn't another series like Re-Main of the summer season, where depiction and involvement of the actual sport doesn't feature much in the show... And though people complained about that and logically so, it still had the hook of a darker dramatic undercurrent running through it giving it more of a story. If this is too light on hockey it will just be more fluff, basically. |
| It's going not as one dimensional as it could've been. Coach Yōko is a pearl of the series. I feel cozy while watching it and it's more than enough. |
 |
| Welp, I just relized that Mami is not in the shot where they showcase their moves in the OP and I'm fucking sad, I was really liking her, I hope she manages to stay in the team. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
Not really. Hobbies in anime are mainly intended to tell about an interesting hobby, while sports anime focuses more on the career and personal development of the characters. For example, Houkago Teibou Nisshi is a show about girls who make friends through fishing, not a show about MC becoming Schumacher in the world of sport fishing. |

I think you misinterpreted my reply to the other two poster. They said it's primarily CGDCT show, which I reaffirmed by bringing up similar CGDCT shows featuring an activities that are also considered sports. Cheerleading, rifle-shooting and fishing. It's very simple. I dunno what you’re interpreting in it again xD |

There are different kind of ways to feature sports in anime. One where the sport is driving the narrative (Kuroko no Basket, Haikyuu) and others (like here) where it's just backdrop. I also consider these more as cute girls shows, but the sports element is still there. MAL tagged Anima Yell! and Houkago Teibou Nisshi as sports and Rifle is beautiful's synopsis got sports as second word. Aside from that, all these activities I mentiond are considered sports. |

With this logic, Super Cub is a sports show because people are racing motorcycles. You picked a bad example. Owning a Super Cub and riding on it can hardly be considered a sport, especially not how it was portrayed in the series( one of the episodes admittedly felt like the parody of a sports anime xD) Wheras all other activities I mentioned are recognized as sport. Just stop it man, it's getting frustrating 💀 |

What's the difference between using a Honda as a vehicle and fishing to catch fish? |

What's the difference between using a Honda as a vehicle and fishing to catch fish? The Honda is a vehicle used to get from A to B or to drive around for fun. Fishing is a sporting activity that requires far more equipment, specific sportswear, skill, strenght etc. Putting them in the same tier in this context is a huge stretch. |

Yet you successfully managed to misinterpret everything. Pretty retarded ngl. |

Because this is literally a universal argument that justifies that any content with fishermen is a sport. But okay, stop here before it gets too personal. |

|
| So a TV crew comes to Nikko to film a ryokan, but then the next day they randomly decide to go film a random children's hockey class? Seems illogical. Other than that, this episode was OK, if not kind of boring. The practice scenes felt like a rerun of the first episode. Of course, Mami transferring was the big surprise at the end, but the only problem is that this is episode 2 and I just don't care about Mami (or any of these characters). This story arc probably would have worked better if they pulled it off at a later episode. |
| When I watch this kind of anime I do it mostly because I like the cute girls This have males in it. To many for my taste. Therefore it now have 1/10 and I probably going to drop it Such waste of great potential |
 |
| the animation still consistant , keep it up !! |
| So, Mami's gonna leave? Ok. I kinda liked her but there is like million of them so she can go if she wants. I like strawberry girl more anyway. The coach is hot and apparently super-single, i like her alot. The amount of dudes slightly annoys me. This TV guy was too detailed to be an ordinary NPC. I really want to know more about long-haired girl at the bridge, i hope she will join the group next episode. Thanks God they didn't do much idol stuff this time, so that was pretty good episode. |
| School transfered this early. What a twist And the animation still good as well. Keep it up! |
| I'm gonna sit down here and watch them do it |
