| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Meh, first half was too silly this episode for its own good especially for Mashiro. I just find her too childish at times but whatever. Her respect and obsession with Misaki still remains strong. Now that I think about it though, maybe Mashiro can be a fun character after seeing her relationship with Rika.  |

| A Mashiro based episode this time and it was nice to see that she need more screentime. And it was nice to see her make friends like that, she learned a lot from Rika. |
| Just another day of Aokana... the rainy season has started thus making the team practice indoors. It's still surprising to see how far Asuka was from Misaki after her backflip. Seems like an episode for Mashiro, surprise! She actually wears glasses (red ones too!). Mashiro's hoodie will always be totally cute. She also has adorable cat plushies (named Jashin-chan) which she talks with. Special friendship and FC training with Rika. Rika gets a Jashin-chan in return though :3  Mashiro realizes her true potential as a Speeder instead of following Misaki and trying to be a Fighter (How could such a petite body handle dogfights >//< ) The FC scenes are actually starting to look more natural and smoother... except for when they cut the middle line and prepare to intercept which always seems iffy for me with how they stop in place (even though the way they do it really does help them stop...) A wild Inui Saki has appeared!!! Jesus they made her speed crazy. It almost felt like the scene was sped-up, but that might just show how proficient she is. Her Grav-Shoes also have some pretty cute green bat wings?  SUMMER TOURNAMENT NEXT EPISODE!!! |

| Mashiro episode today. Ehh, I really couldn't care less about this episode. Decent I guess. 3/5 |

ikzrx said: Is this anime a romance? I havent seen any so far Romance doesn't happen until there's been zilch romance in the past 4 episodes. they might as well just do both Asuka and Misaki True romance comes after losing :^) don't hit me please |
|
| I quite liked this Mashiro-centric outing. It's nice to see she's not getting left out or behind. Plus her mom definitely has the biggest, most beautiful tits in the series so far! :D |
| Didn't care much for this episode seeing as how I don't really like that girl at all the episode focused on. For any VN players, does the MC ever fly? I'm still waiting for the moment he does (competitively). |
 |
| So more of a Mashiro episode, and also more Rika. Nice. Looks like they became good friends too. Asuka's also getting better herself. Overall, nice and warm episode. Also, still can't get enough of the OP and ED~ |
  |
| I'm still waiting for romance and the MC to fly. |
 |
| Oh boy, another insanely annoying character. Just what this show needed... In all seriousness, this was actually quite a good episode, what with the focus switched to Mashiro and Rika (albeit to a lesser extent). Good to see her working hard to develop her own FC skills. Also, they sure are being liberal with time in this show aren't they? At one point in this episode they're supposedly two weeks away from the tournament and all of a sudden they're in the quarter finals just like that. I'm also guessing that the girl at the end will be an opponent they end up facing in the tournament. When's the romance coming though? |
| Nope, dropping this. Bland characters except male MC and dark haired girl, bad comedy, FC is boring af, fanservice/big boobed lolis are meh. I love "flying" theme so much, I'm disappoint. Music and animation is good enough though. |
| Kind of meh episode but fun either way. Next week's ep should be better. |
| I'm pretty happy with this one. I like Mashiro more than the other two for the simple fact of her not being the best in the world at everything. She's the underdog character in a team of 3 where 1 is born incredible, the other is the main female so she just rapidly becomes the best thing in the world and then... there's the last chick who is just a normal human. Kinda like when you watch Naruto and for a little while you sympathised with Sakura and hoped she'd get better and win, then you realised she was annoying as hell and stopped caring. Rika and Mashiro had a really nice chemistry, better than the chemistry between any other characters in my opinion. I thought the scene at the end was really cute with her passing the toy to her. It was just nice for two characters on rival teams to actually form a decent friendship and not some alpha-bro rivalry like most sports anime. Best episode of the anime so far. Now I get to wait for this to never get brought up again and for Mashiro to constantly be the weak link for the rest of the anime, because that's always how these "I want to improve" episodes go. |

| Cute episode. Asuka is love <3 I really like this series, nice atmosphere and general feeling. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Is there any drama? So far I didn't seen any. Or the pacing is just too slow. |
 |
| Nice ep but I really feel that the MC needs some spotlight now. We don't really know much about him though I'm sure we will learn soon, hopefully. |

| i usually find mashiro anoying, but in this episode she was actually pretty cute |
| The focus of this episode was Mashiro, and Rika also begins to gain more prominence, I liked to see Mashiro with a slightly different personality, especially the side shy of her, hopefully come some interesting development in the plot with the coming of the next championship, and it is shown a bit more the relationship of the protagonist with FC in the past, I'm looking forward to the next episodes .. |
  |
| Cool Ep. Mashiro is training hard to keep up with Asuka |
| Hi there |
| The Glasses look AWESOME on Mashiro in my opinion, though still want more misaki scenes :D |
| I don't mind the romance. The FC is what I like about this series. lol at flying fish distraction. We now have a fighter, a all rounder, and a speeder in the team. Asuka is funny and amazing. That jumping back flip was really amazing. |
| Decent episode. We're 4 episodes in and there still really isn't any drama or romance. |
 |
| Pretty adorable. I don't usually like or dislike characters like Mashiro, similar to characters like Deko from Chu-2, but I'm actually starting to like her. Her relationship with Rika is cute. |
    |
| Asuka doesn't even need the grav-Shoes anymore to do that amazing backflip. And more curiosity for the next week thanks to that girl with bat wings grav-shoes. |

I do like that Mashiro is a speed-type of flyer now though. It was going in that direction since the girls went shopping for Grav-Shoes. |
 "to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -a magnet |
| Really enjoyed seeing how much everyone is improving but that girl at the end was spectacularly fast holy crap O_O |
| that's a good backflip this episode was nice and laidback |
 |
| Nice to see that Asuka has gotten better. I think that black flip broke the laws of physics. She was at least a few meters away from Misaki after landing. She continues to make me laugh. It was nice to see Mashiro get better along with her rather cute relationship with Rika. Especially at the end when Mashiro gave Rika her toy Jashin-chan. What was that girl at the end!? That was like light speed or something. Makes me curious for the next ep. I am continuing to enjoy this. |
| The protagonist in this anime hasn't got enough screen time for entering a romance to either of heroines, seem like this anime is more focus on heroines and FC instead of that. Yeah hopefully they will try moving on protagonist after summer tournament. We don't know how many episodes this anime will have, but I would guess 12 or 13 episodes. -- There is no such a think as laws of physics in anime. Since they going to rushed it to summer tournaments, can we expect some romance after? I actually going to believe it will follow Asuka route here or they might focus on the protagonist. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Sometthing i like from MC in this anime Masaya certainly did not get lot screenlight but he is not useless and annoying as his other clones generic protagonits |
| An adorable bonding episode between Mashiro and Rika. They are just so cute together. Didn't care for Mashiro before but she changed my mind especially after that cute alliance-forming scene at the end ^_^ I don't why you guys are complaining about the lack of focus in main MC or romance in general. Do you really want this to become another generic harem? even though it may go that way eventually, personally I'm very glad they keep the focus on FC (which is surprisingly covered in more depth than I thought it would) and kept the romance to the minimum, if at all. Surely MC's past is going to be explored soon but thankfully at almost half point of this show, it doesn't seem like there would be enough time to develop harem-esque relationships with all the female characters. Asuka doesn't seem the type built for romance and Misaki is quite non-chalant so if there's any romance at all it'd be between the MC and Rika, which also makes the most sense for me. |
 |
| Love the way Asuka's FC skills improved even further, except for that distraction though so cute RIP flying fish So we got a Mashiro-centered episode, she finally realized that she just needs to take advantage of what she really have, love the MashiroxRika bonding too forming that whatever alliance and that plushie giving :D And also they explained Satouin's fetish for "In" lmao weird fetish though, so that's the reason why she really wants to take the "In" as seen in the 1st ep. Next ep, we got a new character huh can't wait |
 |
| Woohoo! looks like we got ourselves an emotionless cool character |
| Another awesome episode. Love the atmosphere. |

Exactly, this is good decision by director i am glad they did not focus on romance part yet, that would be tottaly boring my nightmare for the romance coming is if the girls downgrade into mindless harem zombie i believe the VN is not harem but multi-romance route Delay romance progress and prefer to focus on expanding the sport content. |
| Mashiro's improvemen was nice to see :D |
| Not that it's saying much but best EP yet. Not liking the MC at all, such a flat character |
| Good episode, I do wish the pace would pick up a bit though. |
| that was a fun episode :D and that hoddie... DAMN cute X3 i like the development between Mashiro and Rika relationship :) that white hair girl at the end though...freaking fast. i'm looking foward for that :D |
 |
| More Mashiro screentime. =O |
 |
| So Asuka selling point is her air kick? Damn Misaki is still bae. I kind of like Mashiro a bit now lol. |
 |
| I just don't understand what they're doing with Rika in this anime, like they clearly made it out that she's neighbors with Masaya with two fan service parts, but they basically just brush it off, then they have her as the side character in this episode and introduce Saki into the next episode. Like Rika is a MAIN character and they're just doing her dirty in my opinion. |

| another mehh ep and anyway i would not even care if this show turns good but for me it will end as a bad adaptation of a VN :( |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| Yes, legendary boxer... |
 |
Asuka's parkour game is too strong. |
