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??!!

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
Airi has asthma! Not a good thing IMO for sports in general. Having fun is no problem but competition wise not sure. Hinata was quite pleasant to see surprised here and of course Tomoka praying is nice. So it begins the match. We have Airi protecting rather well but what’s this? Oh! Beautiful dodge of the boy’s team! Airi fearing here for her failed guard. He shoots Layups style and he scores! Beautiful shot there. It goes on with Saki around having the ball and oops too late here for the ball as it is already out of her hands with a “Ups for grabs!” So he shoots Layups style and he scores! The boys are all cheering on the bench! While the girls are all down with fatigue and sweat. Here comes Takenaka here and he shoots! Scores with a beautiful rebound! Fantastic move to score! That was exciting with the score being 24 boys VS 18 for the girls! Sounds like a nice 6 point margin.

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!
  • Airi in the spoiler
    for a first time push out a boy and stole the ball! What a reverse and evolve!

  • As if that was not enough evolve #2 that of Tomoka in the spoiler
    I call it “Hyper pacing” where Tomoka changed her pacing into super fast mode to run past the boys. She is like the flash for a moment. Takenaka is totally surprised by it! That is an amazing revolution!
So it continues with Tomoka and from the way she shoots in the spoiler
it looks like a Layups. She scores with a nice rebound. I was totally at that time like Ogasawara is here, super angry! While Mihoshi was being a tease right down. It continues with Tomoka! 2 boys guarding her. Oh what is this? A attempt to shoot? O_O Can it be that it’s a 3 point line as it shows here? OMG it’s good! The shot is good! OMG that is a far shot! There is then a go and going with Tomoka doing a Layups again here. Takenaka having the ball going wild in. He shoots and scores nicely! Except we don’t see it. Maho is running with attention and Saki is trying to get a pass. While Airi keeps trying to do interceptions/scoring and Hinata is getting tired with all that running effort. With merely a 1 minute and 28 seconds left on the clock with a 30 for boys VS 28 for girls, it looks to be a tight game. It continues with Takenaka here getting a little nervous but what is this? Oh no! A steal by Tomoka in the spoiler
OMG! What are you doing Takenaka losing your concentration! WTF were you thinking? Tomoka shoots but oh no! She is blocked by the 2 boys but that’s OK since it goes in. Despite that there is still a fault! >_< Shit! Penalty shot is scored by Tomoka here. Ah damn it! By this time in the game it really get close. What’s this? Takenaka shooting! He scores! Nicely scores and there is Ogasawara getting really nervous! In thee end Maho shot in and Tomoka is teary happy. While all the team jumps in towards her! So happy match?
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,
  • I loved seeing the gang with Subaru in the spoiler
    and Mihoshi shoving her foot into Subaru’s face was totally hilarious! I ROFL!

  • Loved seeing everyone doing fireworks in the spoiler
    it was a nice part in general with a Mihoshi challenge towards Subaru.

  • The chat was interesting again in the spoiler
    it looks like some Greek place? Roman Possibly? Maybe it’s Arabic from the looks of the building’s roof.
The episode in general was exciting with the match but once the girls won it kind of sucked. I put up what I wish it would have been instead of putting stupid flag points.

Hinata's moe is like Aria's moe in Sister Princess and they seem to emanate the same type and level of cloudcucoolander as well, Hinata is just all over the place and Aria is shy and noble.

Well if you mean her:
http://myanimelist.net/character/5444/Aria
IMO the kusu expression of Aria is way over MOE compared to Hinata's Aah even though that is MOE too. 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.

With that they decided to put after the game instead of extending it to over time, yeah you are right.

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:

  • The cheesy cheap ass loser Hinata tactic in the spoiler
    that was not a charging fault at all! It’s proven here! Right here! That Subaru told Hinata to make it look worse than it looks. That is a cheesy shit ass tactic. It only proves one thing, that of Subaru acknowledging that the boys are stronger than the girls and that they would lose if they did not do that. Which goes back into admitting defeat in a way. Well anyway I won’t got further with my frustration, the referee was over Moefied by Hinata and felt bad.

  • The second factor is the sudden block of 3 people on Tomoka, her shooting wildly in the spoiler
    only to miss and have Maho pick up the ball to score right away before the counter reaches 0? That is pure miracle + magic Did you know that Maho in English = to magic. Ding dong! A miracle with some magic made the last point. Did you know that the shot went from Maho’s hand at like 3/4 of the last second before it reached 0. That is totally a miracle. I am willing to accept that factor but the Hinata one was plain cheap.
My wish would be to have not made that shot happen during the penalty when Tomoka was shooting and after have the penalty shot count only. That way that last shot would create a draw and we would go into overtime. Now that would be the best! Not all that shit that happens after the match.

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.
  • the First one is during the party after the game. It’s obvious that while Maho was joking with Subaru x Airi that Tomoka got jealous in the spoiler
    even Maho noticed it. So major flag there for the 100% from Blackbird.

  • The fireworks part in the spoiler
    has multi killer Tomoka blushes mostly towards and around Subaru. So it’s a big hint also.

  • When his mom mentions the girl’s team and the fact that Tomoka came to his house in the spoiler
    is obvious that on his side he has something for Tomoka.

  • Subaru inviting Tomoka into his room all alone except perhaps for his mother in the house to watch a game of basketball among the pros in the spoiler
    is a total big give away with the blushing that Tomoka does around that part. I mean I-n-v-i-t-i-n-g g-i-r-l a-l-o-n-e i-n y-o-u-r r-o-o-m. Some thing must compute here for Subaru. Don’t forget to add the nice dinner Tomoka had with Subaru’s mother being happy during that time and it sounds to me like Tomoka is getting closer to the family along with being accepted by it.
So yeah Tomoka is madly in love with Subaru.

My other flag moment is the obvious Airi one.

Blackbird said:
That was quite funny in the end hehe.
^_^
Well everyone love Subaru.
That was quite something indeed in the spoiler
all the girls wearing nothing but school swimsuits and aprons. Will we like get some hadaka aprons in the Bds instead that kind of display?

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.

Yeah same here, I love Aoi for the following 4 points:
  • Got to love her stripped panties as she kicks Uehara in the spoiler
    even though I agree with Uehara what he called Subaru here as along with his face. That kick was win on Uehara.

  • Loved the 2 blushes of Aoi in the spoiler
    especially the second one if you see that from the looks of Subaru’s eyes and smile that he did see them indeed. Thus he gets his ass kicked too. :D

  • My favorite part is the way Subaru dodges Aoi during the basketball game in the spoiler
    that dodges was nice but so was the nice face of Aoi here. I loved how she liked playing basketball in general.

  • Finally I loved the face she did after the game and the walk she got with Subaru in the spoiler
    that was a very nice walk IMO.
So this why Aoi is awesome and she is of the right age for Subaru whereas Tomoka is plain too young. Not if Subaru’s thing can TBH.

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:

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)→

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.

I'm about as sure that something similar to that will happen as I'm sure the sky is blue.

Yeah they were over confident because they though the girls were all weak due to gender. Well now they will practice in different places and will get better.

Well what does not kill you makes you even stronger is the general motto. They only lost by 1 point BTW.

Yeah I figured but they still had 2 other guys and if one of them though that Saki is more dangerous than Maho clearly they missed out that Saki scored not much but Maho scored better.

It's a human vice that needs to be eliminated so realizing it through games is one thing. So this lost may be something, that still did not stop my super rage during the match.

Yeah, their team work is scary at the evolution level it is going.

They were in command like a lot when the girls were worn out. I don't exactly see why would they not be in control of the game when their scores were always above the ones of the girls until the 30/30 tie.

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. Well nice comment exchange with you.

Cheers!

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.
