----------------------------------------
Some of the new girls are weird...


Mashiro got better with her flight abilities so I'm glad to see that.
But seriously, Kairyo Gakuen is a powerhouse. That wasn't really even a match at all, completely one sided against Shion.

That Shoujo-ai scene was funny.
And lot's of interesting opponents makes me wonder what we will see next week.
Inui san was better then expected especially with those shoes that no one recognised at all.

Asuka seemed to enjoy her match which seemed to have been pretty close judging the score.

Amazing to see everyone doing great!! The FC Scenes has gotten better and we also got to hear a bit more of the BGM that goes on in the matches.
(They actually switched art styles for the FC Scenes. Just don't pay attention to floating jpgs, but it's better than the previous episodes.)

Mashiro displays the results of her training with Rika, and manages to not get 20-0'd by Satouin like last time.


The match between Rika and Misaki shows us how strong a fighter can be, even proving Rika's desperation spin to be fruitless since Misaki circles around her to stall for time.

Shion's manly spirit could've been displayed better in the match between Saki, but nonetheless it was displayed when he opened his eyes. A Speeder at heart, this is the way he fights! (GOTTA GO FAST)


Asuka vs Arika (Mashiro's childhood friend) shows Asuka's improvement, even being able to match Arika's scissor turns. Of course, the air kick comes back (which surprisingly was CGI compared to some of the other FC scenes in this match)

The Irina and Saki duo appears to have come from Britain, although Saki is native to Japan. If that's what their Grav-Shoes look like, everyone should be using Grav-Shoes from Britain (too cool!!)

Next episode is the fated Shindo battle (YESSSS) The preview shows the true competitiveness of the reigning National Champion!!

And we finally have a competition! Sucked that Mashiro lost in the first round, and after all that focus she just got last week too. Felt poorly plotted/timed. Annoying that she was given someone way out of her league too quickly, but then this show seems to endorse the whole losing is best for growth philosophy so it's not too shocking but...still, they couldn't let her win even one round before getting clobbered? Bah! And of course they let Asuka face someone her own level and win, making Mashiro(effectively since the generic joke guy doesn't count imo) the only loser on her team....first disappointing episode honestly. Why give Mashiro any focus at all then? She's clearly the third wheel.

Oh well, at least the new girl with the heart eyes had big beautiful tits! Enormous even! :D

Seeing the competitions in action and seeing some of the unique moves by the competitors, even this early on in the tournament, was definitely very welcome. And with Shindo getting involved next ep, I'm sure it's bound to get even more interesting still. That said, I do hope they get through the tournament a little quicker to leave more time for some actual romance like there's supposed to be (if what I've heard about the VN is true).

This is completely ridiculous and absurd.
What they are doing is a complete disrespect, murder, rape, desecration and destruction to the source material of show.

By chance Gonzo is trying to compete and overcome KyoAni to see who is the studio which is more capable of destroy, desecrate, disrespect, and murder the source material of the show?

Gonzo, achieved the feat of transform an excellent Visual Novel/Eroge 18+ in a generic CGDCT show, with yuri fanservice and yuribait, a decent job of KyoAni.

Is getting more absurd, they have to create a law or impose limits on the changes and editions that will be made the literary works, musical compositions, audiovisual works, drawings, paintings, photographs in relationship to the original material created by the author.

If this nonsense does not stop, next year, they will end transforming an adaptation of a source material: BL, shounen-ai or yaoi in a generic show CGDCT with fanservice yuri, yuribait or in a shoujo-ai.

********************************************************************

The changes:

all scenes yuribait are original content, they are not present in the visual novel.

In addition to having removed the POV, focus, exposure about Masaya.

The events and situations that occurred with Masaya in Visual Novel, in the anime they were replaced and transferred to one of the heroines, or whatever it Masaya did in Visual Novel in the anime is being done by one of the heroines.

Episode 1 - The first person to fly with Asuka on the visual novel was Masaya and they were alone, Asuka met and first saw Misaki in school.
in anime Misaki not only participate the scene, as was Misaki who made the first flight with Asuka.




Episode 4 - in Visual Nove is Masaya who helps Mashiro the grow out of Misaki’s shadow and become a strong player by her own effort.
In the anime that did it was Rika.


So glad they are ignoring the source. The show wouldn't be worth watching otherwise. C'mon Gonzo! Keep on pushing the yuri and ignoring the source!

besides being a complete disregard for with author and the fandom of Visual Novel.

As expected, Misaki is Kunahama's ace....

It was unfortunate Mashiro had to lose immediately in the first round, I was hoping for quite generic Disciple vs Master match Mashiro vs Ichinose match, but oh well....

Asuka's spinning Air Kick Turn was beautiful.

this is wrong.
I do not care with yuri, fujo, fanservice or anything else, when they are part and are present in the source material, when is genre of the source material, or a totally unique anime.

More is unacceptable and completely unnecessary they destroyed and defile partially or completely literary and audiovisual works that have not been written or created by them.

if they want to make a show yuri/shoujo-ai or fujoshi/shounen-ai, for God's sake, why the hell they do not choose to adapt a source material that covers the genre or they create a totally unique anime.

You might like that other people, come and add sugar in the your coffee without first asking to you.
But I do not like when other people, come and add sugar in my coffee without asking me first.

As I said, I don't care about the politics. I'm enjoying the show. I'm not gonna let politics drag that down. If the coffee tasted better, then why complain? I didn't pay for this coffee. I'm watching it for basically free. Technically there's a subscription fee being paid to Crunchy but eh, that covers many shows. Anyway, it's more like I heard about this great new ice cream shake flavor, and went to go try it, but one of the workers slipped an extra ingredient in it without me knowing. And it tasted amazing. Why would I complain? I've never had the shake before, so, for me, this is the "original", and whatever other people are having is the "adaptation".

Try looking at it more like that. I'm not saying I don't understand why people are angry, but I'm saying that I have no reason myself to be upset. I will be once they change the flavor back to what others were having, and it doesn't taste as good (cause it won't). Hopefully that doesn't happen, and I can enjoy my shake in peace

Suppose the studio decided to adapt your favorite source material (Manga, Light Novels, Visual Novel or Game), and he is a yuri, shoujo-ai or CGDCT. The studio decides to change the plot and story of source material and also add a male MC and doing the show rotate around him, he will have the POV, exposure and will be the main focus of the show, the female MC of the source material becomes just a heroine, then they replace the scenes and dialogues that take place between the girls in the source material, by scenes and dialogues between the girls and the male MC, and they decide to change the personality and characteristics of the girls, doing that all the girls are in love with MC male.

You would stay happy or would have liked if this were done in the your preferred source materials?

no he will not play.
the POV, the dialogues and events that occurred with Masaya in Visual Novel, are being replaced by a different heroine every episode.
I remember Koi to Choco was also done similarly they tried to mix different routes together which changed alot of the source material but either way I enjoy both the source and the anime of both because I love sprite characters and their stories are always fun yet serious at times.

More characters appear, and finally begin disputes, and the results were as expected, however, the novel or the harem that I expected at the beginning of adaptation so far not appeared, I also expected a bit more protagonism by Masaya, but also don't know if I'll see it in the anime, I hope things get more exciting from now on ..

I doubt Misaki vs Shindou will happen in next episode
both of them still have to deal with their first round opponent firstly, not to mention the pace unless the anime will make several scene skip
the preview pretty much just a tease for us.

I personally dont mind much if the studio did not adapt the VN completely as long it not bad in my record.
so far is good for me , i could understand why some people dislike the studio changed the VN.
Too bad Saki is not among girls in the game route i wonder if she will part in if the VN will have sequel later

also i am still curious with this Ikemen fellow or masked guy
since they did not adapt VN completely is he not going to appear then?
can someone spoil us who is this guy and his identity? also please put the spoiler for the answer

Again, I completely understand why people are upset. But I have no reason to complain. The change is good for me, so I don't care. If they did it to something I liked, yeah, i wouldn't be happy. And it would suck.

I"m not belittling your anger, but I can't really be angry over this.

Let's say you read a novel, and the story was a mess, and the character development wasn't that great, and overall you were disappointed. But then it gets an anime adaptation, and they actually fix up the story and give good character development. Would you be angry? Or happy?

I keep hoping that Asuka inspires Hinata to get back into FC but maybe not possible at all? It was real fun to see Asuka fly in her own style and her always cheerful self going about things. Certainly lightens up the mood of the anime and makes things more interesting for me.

I want to see a Hinata vs Saki. I'm sure he's one of those OP types who don't want to play anymore. Or maybe Shindo vs Saki. That might actually be the finale for this tourney

Anyway didn't expect Misaki to win that easily against Rika. Damn, I kinda underestimated her ^^; She's awesome.

And Asuka's match was fun. I just love her air kicks. Can't wait until she gets more experience. I'm sure her matches will be the most fun for sure.
