must have s2...
One of the best end so far this season besides BSD, felt the doki doki.
A lot of well animated matches, rather rare for sports shows I've seen that mostly go for shortcuts & talking/sol.
Characters got some backstories, unique personalities, issues to overcome, very down to earth feel, esp Agari's popularity/inferiority complex at the start, and everyone's motivated to grow.
Also the camp training breaksdown important skills in ping pong, & how their playstyles can improve by footwork etc.

Montage insert (& all the music) was nice, can really picture a ping pong themed dance going.

This was a cute anime with lots of dokidoki and dokidoki and dokidoki. Not sure if I will watch s2 or not (if I got time, I might) but I liked it despite it having its down moments at times. It was good for the most part. And I ended up all the characters. Agari is my fav but Hanabi reached quite close (unexpected)

Good show, but the ending was abrupt. Are we getting another season?

The seniors getting along well while practicing and HOW DID THE SHOULD RIDDING HELP? Munemune and her oppai got the spotlight for the first half and then we got a montage of the girls training. The background girls also did quite a lot of work this episode, and had quite a lot of fun. And to end it all, we got a nice little battle between Koyori and Agari, which was a pretty nice way to end the episode. The yuri grew three times in size that day. Also they saved all their money for the last ten seconds of animation.

people kept talking about the ending being weird and disappointing

yes it's weird, but i think it's fine the way they did,
they did it to have a safe spot for the ending

if there is no season 2 then viewers will at least taste the tournament and what the "probably" final battle would be and end it there
if there is a season 2 then the ending would act as a hype train, and i dont think that clip would destroy much

and i like this decision instead of cramming the tournament into a 12 episode anime, they don't want to destroy the story's pacing

here's hoping for a season 2

This needs to have a Season 2 DAMN! I was hyped-up on the ending with more new characters and who is the one who is playing against Koyori? All of the club members and even the Kururi is cheering for Koyori!!!
5/5!
8/10!
I'll rage if there's no S2!!!

...And with that, pingpong orgasms the anime is over.

I wonder if we'll get more of Munemune's munemune (lol).

The animation was great this last episode, and a nice insert song and bgm. The juniors are cute and motivated, it's very nice and heartwarming.

They really did finish the anime off with a bang. One of, if not the best episode!
This series does indeed deserve a second season.

Hmm...not a bad episode, all in all. But it felt more like a mid-season filler than a finale.

Well I enjoyed this more than I thought.
Anime with serious sports that focused on girls is not a common sight after all.

(8/10) for this. That tease on the tournament matches! S2 must happen or I'll be mad!
They kept mentioning tournaments and zenkoku and all, if that happened in probably-will-not-exist-S2, that would be very salty.

Really good anime.

They didn't have to spoil the championship at the end of the episode... now it's pretty obvious and the expectations decrease due to that. Of course, would love another season (or OVAs) to watch the championship.

Anyway, I really liked this show.

8-9/10

By the way, this end reminded me of Saki. Saki ended in the quarterfinals of the championship... -.-"

I'm going to miss the scorching Ping Pong girls and their dokidoki excitement.

The matches were pretty darn hype with some sweet animation.

Feels bad when they tease nationals but sequel never...

All I can really say is...DEAR GOD SEASON 2 PLEASE!!!!

The show was a lot of fun, the characters were likable, the ping pong matches were intense. For being a show I picked up completely on a whim, I enjoyed it WAY more than I expected to.

We need more! We need to see the other driver girls! We need to see them make nationals dammit! We need more Munemune's Munemumes.

We need more Kururi!!
Olem said:
Not the most satisfying ending, and I feel like we're not getting a season 2 T_T Hope I'm wrong though since I really enjoyed it.

I give this a rating of Spats/Dokidoki suru

Also, dat Kururi at the end was adorable

Yaaaaas! She got so much better once she got the light back in her eyes.

Doki doki the anime. This has gotten progressively better, which I'm thankful for as most anime I watch lately get progressively worse with each episode. Definitely want a season 2, that dark long hair girl with the smile looked like a crazy competitor at the end.

The tournament was a nice finish to the series, but the clip of the "finals" at the end makes me feel sure this won't get a second season.

I liked the episode, and that ending too. All seniors wearing casual wear meaning that they already graduated, and that mysterious black hair girl again...

What are the chances for a season 2?

I don't watch as much anime as before...

2.5/5 for this episode because it "tried" to give a conclusion.

Pointless. Either it took too many curves to reach its goal (too many time spent on others when it ended up as "the progress of Akane" story) or it didn't know where to go/end. Also contains far too many blushings.
Decent sport, at least in the beginning.

Well they definitely built up a good way for a second season. Agari is still a little to full of herself thinking she's the best when Koyori gets all the crazy bad ass players. It really makes Agari look like an amateur that gets off thinking she's the best out there.

Kind of reminds me a little of Nodoka some in Saki how she's always getting the attention and everyone thinks she such a big shot just because she the middle school champion. Kind of an nuisance if you ask me. Something tells me Koyori Has more tricks that she has not even shown yet. I mean there has to be more then that if she made it to the simi finals.

Anyways the ending there really makes it look like there is a possible Second Season otherwise that ending was just lame and disappointing. Why build up hype like that if they plan to end it like that. If there not going to be a second season.

Well all we can do is hope for some news sooner or later that is if they do make a second season. Can't say for sure, but with that kind of an ending the hype is to high.

Pretty solid ending I must say, a bit bummed out about the complete open ending and foreshadowing, but well it wasn't bad either and if this series ever gets a second season, I'm sure to watch it!

only practicing in this last episode, but somehow it turned into something intense that helped Agari to do a good move.

feels a bit like a cliffhanger.. they just showed all those other teams, and that mysterious smiling girl that Koyori is playing against.

would certainly watch a season 2 of this.

Love this anime overall. Kururi are my main lesbian in this. She is a great. Instead of making her a crazy shallow character that are crazy just because of the heck of it. She is rather a complex fragile girl with a big heart and feared losing her girlfriend and her other companions. She was more than what first meets the eye a brilliant character. And the best this anime have to offer imo

It was cute, It was grand, It was only cute girls, It was funny, And it was one of the gayest thing I have ever watched,,YEEEEEES

My lesbian angels get 10/10 as always

Only complain I have .... I want more lesbian ping pong they should make a season 2

Yeees I guess Tsumujikaze won at the end! I'm sad that this anime is already finished, I really liked it overall, the ping pong moments were really good, and most of the characters were lovely, also I really like that character design! I hope for a S2 even though I doubt it will happen :( 8/10

That was a really nice and wholesome training camp.

So, it seems Koyori won at the end, but a proper tournament arc would have been great. I also wanted to know more about Kumami and that mysterious black-haired girl.

Few OVA episodes would be great for example, but I know that's not going to happen.

Overall, the ending was a little disappointing, but overall this was much better than I expected. Easily one of the best sports anime I have ever seen. A wholesome, cute, and, funny show. I loved the characters and their chemistry. All the yuri teasing was so adorable. :3

Episode 11 and 12 were completely pointless compared to the first 10 episodes. These two episodes felt more like an OVA. The anime would've gotten a 7 from me if it ended at episode 10. But since the last 2 episodes count as apart of the season, it dropped to a 6/10.

Exciting, wholesome and uplifting show with a good bit of yuri energy and comedy. By the time they got to episode 9 I already figured there wasn’t enough time for a full nationals arc, but that didn’t deter from the enjoyment. I see a lot of inspiration from the series ‘Saki’ in this series, which was also great so I think that was a good move. My favorite girl was Agari, a kind hearted cute tsundere with some of the best affectionate facial expressions I’ve seen in anime.

I’d love a season 2… even though it’s been 6 years, can’t lose hope!
