Pretty decent ending for the most part. It seemed a little rushed towards the 2nd half, but I somewhat ignored it.

I felt bad for Saki missing the shot since she's my favorite of the group, but I still like all of them.

Anyway, 8/10 for Ro-Kyu-Bu!

I'm wondering how the DVD sales will do? This will determine is another season is announced in the near future.

Ep 11 was decent, but this one was pretty good too. The match was surprisingly fun to watch, and I'm actually glad they lost. Like I said at the beginning of this anime, it's losing that'll motivate them to work more and to continue going forward. Not saying they should lose all the time though, just that it's a good way to keep in touch with reality. :)
Aoi has been growing on me these past two episodes. She's seen him tucking the girls in in episode 11 without doing anything, and now she goes back to misunderstanding and kicking? Meh. And of course the other girls don't even explain the situation, they go for the cake. Aoi does that too in the final sequence, when she watches Subaru in a jealous way, everything's good when there's cake. Sigh, cake and japanese girls, what a trope...

Other than that, I'm going to rate this a 6 or a 7. Too much raving about "my feelings in basketball" and "it's good to have fun" became quite irritating after a few episodes. I get this is a sports anime, but this was mostly a loli anime. ;3 RKB turned out being a very watchable show, though it has a lot of annoying little things that stop me from rating it higher.

A cute series. I enjoyed it, but I'm sad to see it end. Wouldn't mind seeing a second season too. I loved the characters and the plot was pretty good. And I love loli maids :3

I give it an 8/10.

Well and that's it for Ro-Kyu-Bu! At first I thought it would be the typical "last second win" match, but in the end they still lost. =(

Too bad for Aoi too, Subaru gives more attention to the team if you don't tell him your feelings, hehe. Overall a pretty enjoyable series, but nothing too special. 7/10.

Well... it was was to be expected that this would end with loose ends hanging everywhere. At least they finished with a lolilicious misunderstanding, so no hard feelings :-)

I'm ready for another season and also ready for a less censored BD version (I don't know for sure - I just hope ^^).

I enjoyed it for the loli fanservice and the ecchi jokes, but it got me to actually watch a sports anime for once. Considering I hate sports and sports anime, quite an accomplishment.

This exactly! Reminds me a bit of completing Saki without getting anything about mahjong. I guess us ecchi fans are the winners here, because the fan-service seems to have dominated the series all in all.

This match was v4 material, but there was some skipping around with episode 9, as the beach episode and Kagetsu were all v5 material.

I think they're up to v8.

Just wondering, did they ever play the school tournament? Did I forget about it, or did they just only talk about doing it but never actually DO it?

They wanted to, but their team is only 5 members, and apparently it would violate the spirit of their team to try and recruit a bench. That and the harem would grow unsustainably large ... does Subaru even HAVE a job to support that many girlfriends?

But anyway, nah, no school tournament for them. Maybe a second season will introduce a second 5 so they can really play in tournaments, and the girls can learn about sharing playing time n stuff.

This was a great ending, best episode of this series that totally redeemed it for me. Last couple episodes had me /facepalm multiple times with random awkward stuff going on. But not this one, it was great and I loved it. Upped it from a 7 to 8/10.

That game was pretty intense, and those flashbacks and stuff made it really dramatic. I knew they were going to come down to the last moment and lost but it was an epic lost. Everyone had their moment in the game which I thought was great. :o Thought it was going to come down to Tomoka tho. Oh and I liked Miu, she's actually very nice.

Aoi mega kick is ftw. And Hinata is definitely the best loli in this show.

>__< They need to recruit more lolis so they can play real matches...

though distributing screen time and attention may be a pain... and any new recruit may mean one of the main cast will drop down to bench...

It was a nice change seeing the main characters lose the last match, quite refreshing and realistic. Abundant flags for Tomoka was also enjoyable. Could have done without the Aoi kick. 4/5.

I don't even remember why I started watching this. I think it was Hanazawa. Anyways, not the worst way of spending 23 minutes every week. 6/10.

Also, is it just me or did the animation quality drop this episode? atleast on a lot of frames...

I thought the exact same thing, but i think that the episode still deserves its credit!
overall, this anime was very enjoyable, and will give it a 7/10!!XD

Same for me, I hate dropped frames, also that was a good ending, even though they didn't win, well, no more lolis from now on, at least not from a basketball team.

Decent 7/10. Good story and of course, lolis.

The second 5 doesn't have to be in the same grade level as the original 5. In fact, I prefer a second 5 consisting of kouhais (Grade 5's or something) so that the core group can act as their mentors.

That said, they could use a legitimate Power Forward. Sorry, but no one among the core group is suited for that. Not even the hot-blooded Maho.

I'm under the impression that the writers are avoiding the Loads and Loads of Characters path, as it could potentially break the chemistry of the core group. But if they did it right, then chemistry between the core group and the second group is preserved.

This is probably the only 'sports anime' I've enjoyed. Likeable characters, and I also like the fact that they actually lost the last game. Yes, it was sad, but it was - kind of -unexpected and it would be unrealistic for them to win EVERY game they played.

All that aside, I'd definitely watch a Season 2 or OVA if one ever comes out.

EXCELLENT! That is some great information. Well certainly the twins peaked my interest and French girl too. Any pics of those that I may be directed towards from the LN? That would be nice too see if they show them. At worst PM me.

Still second season would be way better. More basketball and less ecchi on the other girl's sides. Well I mean come on, we all want to know the other girls, right? Anyway just saying now, that shot that was a backhand shot or reverse shot from Hinata, is i-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e IRL! No way it can happen like that.

Oh boy they adapt into anime and it's going to get crazier. Those twins are over Moe.

In regards to the NBA, yeah trick shots but not with the technique Hinata used. I did one IRL and I never got it quite that way again.

Point being they probably wanted to show the extremes of Hinata's luck. Always good to have a lucky player on the team.

Agreed but even with practice the luck must be there else it can be so a miss. But yeah boss hand can be = to lucky hands.

I was actually kind of disturbed as the show kind of transitioned to what appeared to be a confession scene between Coach guy and Tomoka.

I assume that was the directors intention, but man I was like OMG PEDO MOMENT INCOMING.

Also lol at the people in this thread that think reverse layups arent real.

That reverse layup in the video isn't exactly how Hina did it, but I guess that's the point. Reverse layups are just common routine in the NBA.

Anyways, I'm really conflicted by this show.

I want Coach guy to end up with Tomoka (sp) because they seem to genuinely make each other happy, but if the next season starts a new school year, he will be ~17 and she should be ~12.

That's iffy for me, even with my questionable morals.

BUT...

At the same time, Aoi pisses me off. She annoyed the shit out of me as the generic as hell Tsundere character who refused after like 6 straight episodes to just accept that the guy isn't pedo for the girls.

Its like damn girl how jelly can you be.

If he ends up settling for her I'm going to be pissed.
