The stalker-lady is very mad but funny.
at last the team is completed and got a strong fighter. the first training match they have won on fair conditions^^
but Kojirou is really weak i hope he gets a little bit better during the rest of the series

I think Kojirou's strength is irrelevant and is mostly for comical effect. The ones who need strength are Kirino, Saya and Miya-Miya. I agree, the stalker is funny. Didn't expect it to be yuri, I thought it was revenge. I liked the other team's response to Tamaki. She's got her own fan club. It was a great episode and I think AEN is really improving on their quality. Still not like Huzzah-Doremi yet but they're getting there. Looks like they'll be a 1 week break for New Years Holiday.

Tama-Chan inspires everyone to Kendo... Even me :) i admit it i looked for a kendo Club just to try it.

Well Good episode Kojirou is strong but rusty imho but still raises the comical effect a bit. Stalker was kinda =O Yuri? wasnt it suposed to be revenge?

Edit: AEN sent V2 out of this episode. I find it positive. They are getting professional and have more criticism about their job. I think the subs where good except maybe some typo here some mistake there and the HUMOUNGOUS Size.

So it was a yuri love after all o.O! I happy, I was rather disappointed for the revenge reason thingie. Plus yuri nosebleeds are always fun! X3
Azuma's glasses are fake, I didn't see that coming... =o Funny though. I imagine she thought they would improve her grades.
And yeah, AEN's subs are getting better each time, but WTH were they thinking with those sub sizes? I'm also sad they don't put kana-only karaoke too, it's hard to follow if you don't know all the kanjis. Their realeases are super fast though, so I suppose we should cut them some slack.

I also hope Kojirou gets stronger :] I laughed alot at the way they made Kirino look when her plan unfolded and Sayas reaction to it for some reason. That stalker being a lesbian also made me crack up :].

Thanks De-Jay for my claim picture : ).

Somehow I don't think Reimi is Miya-Miya's type... she seems to have a rather peculiar taste XD Funny though how Reimi didn't seem to pay much attention to Dan-kun. When she thought her boyfriend was Youji she even tried to get him beaten up, but she pretty much ignored Dan-kun =o Maybe she couldn't see him as a real threat? o.o

Thats funny considering Miya-Miya would kill for Dan-Kun haha. I wonder if there will be some episode where Reimi gets fed up with Dan-Kun and hits him causing Miya-Miya go go rip shit on her xD.

They do do a better job than AEN. I can't watch the AEN subs, I wait for Huzzah or Star to sub before I watch it. It's a longer wait, but I think the quality is worth it.

I agree. the slowness is almost mind boggling but the subs AEN make... well I stopped in the middle of a show... it was kinda terrible, if that's a clue. I know that they most likely put a lot of effort into it.... They could be improving... But while the are doing that, I go see Huzzah or Star...

-side note-

Reimi's yuri nose bleeds were funny... Plus she kicked Dan-kun... If Miya-Miya found out... The blood would flow from her head alright... Not just her nose though - Ha...

At this point I'm getting tired of being told that Tamaki is amazing (and of Kirino's wavy anime mouth). Can't we at least move on to the next obvious step and provide a serious challenge for her (and give that weird piehole a rest)?

It also tried to do something slightly fancy by having the strict teacher who scares off students not reconsider his methods when seeing the more enthusiastic club but I wasn't very convinced by the execution. He wouldn't even have five girls in his club after that day if it weren't for Tamaki exciting them so much. What good is a Kendo instructor if no one practices Kendo?

First episode that bored me a bit. hopefully it'll regain some steam soon.

This number is currently unavailable. Please check if you have the correct number-

Anyways, I'm glad that Azuma is probably going to join the club.

Everyone was happy getting hit by Tama-chan lmao!

So Reimi actually has a crush on Miya-miya haha! I thought it was revenge for stealing the guy she liked.

I don't know why but I wanted Azuma to beat Tama for a change. Perfection tends to inspire people but Tama's perfection doesnt inspire me at all. Maybe because she is like a robot - no feelings or passion or struggle. I'd like to see a character more like Sora in Kaleido Star who longs for success and struggles for it with all her heart. But again, Bamboo Blade is more comedy-oriented..

Woah, they won easily, well everyone except Miyako. But she was in quite the stressful situation, hopefully she'll be able to resolve that matter with her stalker soon.

Tama is the heart of the kendo club. It seems every time someone new or another club shows up, they are immediately smitten by her skills. Tama is truly a deadly being. Remarkable.

It appears that Hayashi learnt a valuable lesson today as well. Although he himself states that he won't change the way he teaches, I'd bet that there will defo be minor adjustments enforced soon enough.
