It's cute, and Hinata is just... :"3
But less fanservice would be really good so that I wouldn't feel like a perve for watching.

I didn't actually plan on picking this one up but it was a pleasant surprise for me. We got a nice dose of loli moe, but on the other hand also a nice serious back story from Subaru and his suspension. I'm going to keep watching this.

I wonder why the boys' team wants him to quit coaching them. Maybe it has something to do with them wanting to be the best and only team or something? I don't know...

Airi is indeed quite big (not only tall =P) for a 6th grader don't you think? And Mihoshi reminded me a bit of Kyouko from Madoka Magica, anyone else?

Me too. I'm interested not only in Subaru's backstory, but also those of the girls, like, how Tomoka started playing basketball, how did the team meet each other, and most of all, the reason behind Airi's height anxiety.

No doubt about it. At ~160 cm, that's too big for her age. Thus, she will definitely play Center for the team.

It was funny, but not interesting enough to follow this anime. Glad to hear KajiKaji doing main character this season.

I have to say, I like blue hair girl the most (voiced by Hikasa Youko). Ms. Index-Miho is annoying

Mihoshi's blackmail was my favourite. It's going to take some time to get past that "This is such a loli anime" thinking, but I think I can manage. I'm honestly loving the All-Star cast this anime has.

Needs moar of Mihoshi's "nyaa"!!!! Man how I love Shizuka's "nyaa" there.

0_o th- that's his aunt?!? XD Damn!!! totally though it was his sister or something... Meh, still fine with this show so far.

9/10 First episode for me. Loving the light-hearted scenes so far.

I think they want to take the gym away from the girl's team. I rewatched the episode and noticed Tomoka saying something about that precious place while looking at a picture of the girls together in the gym. And I seem to recall that being done in some other anime where one team wants to take the gym time away from another team so it'd fit. I can easily see Tomoka challenging the boys to a game where if the girls win they get to keep the gym. That'd also explain why the girls are so desperate for Subaru to continue coaching them and to get better fast. (I believe there was also some stuff in there with the other girls telling Tomoka it wasn't her fault, but no real explanation of what they were not blaming her for.)

That's probably rather mundane. She's around 12/13 years old where girls are normally very self-conscious about their body image anyway, and she's much taller than probably all her classmates, boy and girl. Most girls like that would have a bit of an issue about their height, Airi just kinda takes it to an extreme, but she seems to be a rather shy girl anyway so it's not too surprising even so. I'm actually surprised she's not just as hung-up over her breasts being so large. ヾ(´・ω・`)

Kinda surprised that Kugimiya Rie isn't voicing one of these lolis.

I thought most of her characters is Tsundere, she got other else to work so she can't be in all of the animes. :D

The Manga was much better than this, they took most of the details but in the anime version the cut a lot.
So it doesn't followed 100% from manga.

He become more interesting in Tomoka in the manga, probably will do in this but don't feel like the same by watching this.
The way from the manga was more interesting.

They keep previews as secret without spoilers so looking forward to see if next episode will be better.

And there is a llllooootttt of fanservice too...

But it's really fun and well animated so i think i will watch the whole season!

Is this the official roster? Let me fill up the positions 1-5 for those who don't know what those numbers mean.

Point Guard (1) - Hinata
Shooting Guard (2) - Maho
Small Forward (3) - Tomoka
Power Forward (4) - Saki
Center (5) - Airi

Since Airi is the tallest (and biggest) member of the group, obviously she will play the five (5), or the Center position.

Lots of cute loli, but it felt like they should have gotten a bit farther, like including the conversation with the boys.

Not bad but it could have been better.

Wow it was just way more loli and ecchi than I expected... but I don't dislike it... would be nice if they concentrated a bit more on the story though... but I like the basketball theme :) The only thing I disliked was the way he got blackmailed into helping them, I hate those situations where the main char gets blackmailed into doing something -_-"

Surprisingly good! I didn't think it would be so much fun but the characters are all likeable, the main lead's basketball history provides some spice to the story and the OP and ED were great. Looking forward to more of this.

I started this anime because I want something to fill the gap between the new episodes of Kuroko no Basuke II coming out.
Sure has a lot of fanservice though.
I wonder why Airi doesn't like being tall, I mean, it's good to be tall in basket ball, isn't it?
More basket ball though!

This was both better and worst than I expected. How old is Airi? Her breasts are huge for a 6th grader! Everyone is a loli which I don't mind but Mihoshi shouldn't be a loli. She's a teacher damn it! Other than that I liked it. Nice OP and ED.

Seeing that somewhat threatening letter followed up by a harmless little "gang" of elementary school boys made me laugh. I was hoping Suburu would be a bit of a sarcastic ass in response. "Ooh I'm soooooo scared."

I only started watching this because Tomoka was in Fighting Climax. (Made it my mission to watch all the playable characters anime) Was not disappointed.
It's the first episode but, Airi's probably my favorite. I know what it's like to be tall...

Hinata is pure moe. Her way of speaking is pretty cute and in general she was cute through the entire episode.
Subaru's mom, sweet car she's driving. Looks like she's driving possibly a Toyota Trueno. But wow her personality is so hilarious. Such a teaser.

She's like the Elizabeth from Softenni.



Agree. I thought the mom looked a bit like Konata from Lucky Star, just more mature.
