----------------------------------------
Well, looks like the show is back. Aww how cute, a blush:


Well, the girls looks cute for their return so far imo especially in those outfits. Cute start I guess. I'll look for more to more. Pretty fireworks~

I see a new girl as well at the end. I'll assume she'll be a rival or something.

It's back! OP was nice (though not as good as first season's OP). 5 new characters?

Nice break from playing basketball and discussing about how to improve.

Summer festival and Tomoka was not allowed by her strict father (Okiayu-san), but her mother is allowing her.

Didn't know that it was her father he helped out. He was finally persuaded, because in the end he was just worried about her. Nice story!

Personally not like ED (not as addicting as first season's ED).

Worth the 2 year wait.

All the girls look great in Yutakas especially Hinata

Oh dear Misami, barely noticed her taking the picture, I hope that pic she took of Subaru won't be used as blackmail.

Subaru had some good karma coming when he found out the fact he recovered the glasses from Tomoka's father. Made for easier persuasion to keep Tomoka on the team.

Tsubaki and Hiiragi are really cute and quite bratty in a cute and synchronous way.

Mimi surprise at the end.

Don't know why but the ED sounds odd to me...


Anyway, they are back!

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Tomoka is just tooo cute!!! <3

And Subaru has just been showing his Lolicon tendencies in public more and more XD

I'm glad they didn't drag the drama.
I always hate it when the parents are like that but it seems that her father was just worried about her from her trauma.

The way that girl at the end talks is cute.
Why do I feel that Tomoka will lose??

It looks like a lot of things from the LN will be cut out in this season as well. This episode was adapted from the last short story in vol 6 and the OVA was adapted from the first short story in vol 6. The other short stories in vol 6 are not adapted and I'm guessing they will do the same thing with some of the short stories in vol 10.

It is back with Subaru and Tomoka flirting even more than ever not that complaining since Subaru x Tomoka is the OTP so i enjoyed it. That running towards each other to the fountain though made me wtf for a second i thought it was going to be a daydream or something.

I re-watched the first season recently after the OVA came out a few weeks back so it timed well with the new season.

Well looks like that picture will cause some trouble later but nothing that serious probably just some light blackmail.

Subaru is such a smooth bastard he already pretty much has both Tomoka's parents approval lol.

I hereby accuse everyone who has posted on this discussion of possible hebephilia or related paraphilia syndromes.

That aside, seems like the generic plot of this season is going to be dead obvious.

Yes...yes...set up Tomoka now and have her LOSE TO AOI MUAHAHA seriously though I don't want any fraternization in this anime, and I want the side character to win.

Best part of the episode was when Subaru and Tomoka meet up, first season's OP is all playing and its all cute and then Tomoka's mom comes up with this creepy laugh that reminded me of this:

Not sure who takes them but it shows special moments between them. Some anime series do the picture theme type ending. Showcasing events that happen within that episode. So each ending will correspond to that episode.

The one that took the picture looked to be the purple hair girl on the new rival team you can see her in the opening. Why she did it would probably be blackmail whatever it is wont be for a innocent reason.

Also from the opening we can see Tomoka knew Subaru when they were both younger which will only lead to strengthening their pairing.

Ahahahah~ My basketball loli are back! I like the new songs, but I thought it was very unfitting for the first OP to play when Subaru and Tomoka found each other at the festival. That, and it ended abruptly. Ah well. The chibis look awesome too, I like the new art style they did with it.

All is good except I don't like this new Yosuga no Sora loli.

Mini-skirts. Mini-skirts everywhere. I approve!

Also, hopefully they'll get to the basketball next week. I enjoy cute antics as much as the next guy (who watches this show), but I really enjoy the sports moments too. Looking forward to Tomoka's match

Gotta be honest that I am not really happy with this ep.

The scene where Subaru and Tomoka met up was so awkward when S1 OP played in background, then the fountain suddenly activate, which is then stopped just for a conversation with Tomoka's mum. It was too easy as well to convince Tomoka's dad to let her continue playing basketball as if they didn't even had to put in their effort to convince him.

There might be not much contents in between but I really feel the whole ep is a bit too rushy. Maybe the production team wanna focus on other aspects of the series. To clear some misunderstandings, I am a fan of this series and enjoy S1 and the OVA really much! Maybe I am just expecting too much from S2.

Nevertheless, the OP was decent! I will be looking forward to see their meeting with the other group of girls. :)

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

I agree with you about the S1 OP playing during that scene. That was a bit jarring and it probably could have been handled better.

However, I think the scene with Tomoka's dad was fine. Ro-Kyu-Bu is best when the comedy and slice of life elements are pertinent. Extending the conflict into the next episode or two would have increased the effectiveness of the drama but perhaps at the cost of what this show does best, which is slice of life and comedy, enhanced by great art and amazing voice acting.

Woah, look at the score! I am so proud of this show xD Love it as much as before.

Still, Saki is my favorite along with Tomoka and Hina. They all looked so cute in kimonos.

I don't want Tomoka x Subaru though... Aoi x Subaru would be much better for Tomoka's character development. I guess, I don't mind it either esp. when my OTP is Saki x Subaru xD

Tomoka's father is interesting. Not like your usual anime fathers...at least so far.

xD Maho in that embarrassing postion. At least she got the plushie.

I got my Saki x Subaru scene too :0

The new girl looks interesting as well.
