| Subaru is a badass player, but Tomoka is pretty good herself. Episode shows you that life is hard no matter what you are, the end was touching and this scene was in the orginal source well like last episode it's following it almost to perfection. Another good episode. MorningGlory said: the net chatting is very interesting every time =) |
 |
| Better than the first episode. I'm hooked. I like their duel, made me feel it. Subaru is a very good player, and Tomoka may even be better at her age. Loli aunt is very nice. |
 |
| Subaru Aunt said don't run away from basket, but she already said that in the manga thought. And she said that now in this episode. It so predictable that he want to coach them, but he really want to coach Tomoka. Tomoka is really good player for her ages, of course Subaru is a great player too. He was the middle school basketball team Ace, getting in semi final is quite good. He made weak middle school basketball team to strong. Maybe later he will regain to play basketball again. :D The Match between Subaru and Tomoka was interesting, but in the end Subaru won the match. Great episode! I love it Now I am looking even forward more to next episode, can't wait another week. |

This episode was screaming Tomoka x Subaru with multi point flags. There are like tons but the one that affected me the most is the following,  despite it was all sweet Subaru is a jack ass for making Tomoka like she is in the spoiler These are the rest of the flags I noticed that are nice for reference as I have seen excellent basketball precisions in the last thread.
The other thing is the swipe move of Tomoka in the following,  now that is a nice move and clearly this segment showed that she has speed and agility but poor observational skills as Subaru took the ball from her at least 7 times. More later. Other interesting points,

| I don't like the girls crying too :( But Tomoka cried becuase she was happy that Subaru want to protect her. After this Subaru slightly regained his passion of Basket. He was so damn slow to realize that he want to help Tomoka, but in the end everything went well. Subaru got so far more skills than Tomoka but he feel some different passion in her basket. Tomoka is not that bad. Subaru got more experiences, talents and that's it. In the first episode in the beginning it was so predictable he will be back coaching. |

Blackbird said: Oh good I am glad that I am not alone in that one.I don't like the girls crying too :( Blackbird said: He could have done it in another way but still it was heart wrecking the way it was presented. It was made to be a sad cry out to let out the sadness, which in that way makes someone want to punch out Subaru for still making her cry, well IMO that is.But Tomoka cried because she was happy that Subaru want to protect her. Blackbird said: NO! It was exactly in the spoilerAfter this Subaru slightly regained his passion of Basket. |
| I can't stop little girls crying either especially the way she did. It was too sad. |
 |
| good ep cool b ball battle between tomoka and subara hopefully the melodrama is over and the rest of the show will be SOMEWHAT smooooth sailin |
 |
| What lame ass father would leave the lovely young Mamiko Noto wife all alone? The boy's basketball team is full of losers though; they should be licking the girls' feet and buying them chocolates. |

| Not enough Hinata... OTL Anyway, the short scene from episode one is most likely the match between boys vs girls. I can't wait to see the fruits of their labor (if there's any xD except Tomoka since she's very hardworking) thenube74 said: ^I think there will be one in the future. We still don't know why Subaru's basketball team got suspended. That's where the melodrama comes in xDhopefully the melodrama is over and the rest of the show will be SOMEWHAT smooooth sailin |
| PLOT in my loli? yes, looking good so far. I hope you enjoyed and felt cool owning Tomoka, Subaru. What a douche. |
-Quasar said: PLOT in my loli? yes, looking good so far. I hope you enjoyed and felt cool owning Tomoka, Subaru. What a douche. Well, she asked for it. xD How could he say no to such a cute girl? xD Anyways, yeah, I'm a little surprised there is a structured plot in this. I feel sad for those people who are calling it a lolicon anime and nothing more. :| |

Anyways~ definetly not enuff penguins...I mean Hinata, I enjoyed the ED again this week....plenty of Hinata.....My god I love her too much Oh and nice developement Edit: Woot 69 post, perfect for discussing my Loli crush |
 |
| This series is pure loli fanservice ... they even revisited the maido scene. Yeah, I think Tomoka and Subaru are totally gonna end up hooking up at some point in this series. Subaru will probably fight it but the sweet, sweet loli lovin' will get him in the end. I wasn't surprised to see this is on AT-X ... didn't notice that last week. Also, why is Subaru's teacher aunt 12 years old? She looks young enough to be on the team herself. Probably just there for more loliservice. Tomoka's got some skills, but she got owned by Subaru's reach ... nice episode. 4/5 |
| Most va`s cry so loud and shitty :P The only good crying I`ve seen is Ohana from Hanasaku Iroha, nice and quiet. |
 |
| If Hinata even attempts a slam dunk this series will get a 10 from me. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| Now they better not fill the show with pointless fillers. As for the duel, I think she would have won somehow if she didn't restricted herself to not jump. Not saying that she is better than Subaru but just saying she is that good. |

| woah...what a crappy anime oO so crappy its kinda funny again.. |
| its a good show so far... that girl is really good at basketball!!! XD |
| Is this anime realli tat bad? I heard many ppl saying this show is crappy but i tink otherwise. It might not be as good as some other show this season but still reasonably nice. I just dun understand which part is crappy..... ... Putting that aside, episode 2 was alot better than the previous one. I realli appeciate that they cut down on the fan service as im dun realli not a fan of it. Subaru deciding to remain as the girls basketball coach is heavily influence by Tomoka as many poster mentioned. Subaru must have notice Tomoka was in the same shoe as him. Both of them are very talented and love basketball. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, they need to give up on the sport they love. Tomoka however, still have some chances to retain her team. >.< anyway Tomoka is cute >.< |
Siva said: Now they better now fill the show with pointless fillers. As for the duel, I think she would have won somehow if she didn't restricted herself to not jump. Not saying that she is better than Subaru but just saying she is that good. I doubt they will have filler eps just scenes, 2 straight episodes pretty much following the orginal source with a few minor scenes removed or a fanservice scene or two added to make time or enhance the experience makes good anime, also there are 6 volumes prior to the announcement of the anime with the 7th out today (I can't wait to read the 7th volume), they don't need filler episodes. |
|
| ^ Fixed typos in my old comment a bit. Well, I am glad to hear that. I hope good thing out of it. One more thing, Is the manga focus more on Basketball or Fan-service? |

Siva said: ^ Fixed typos in my old comment a bit. Well, I am glad to hear that. I hope good thing out of it. One more thing, Is the manga focus more on Basketball or Fan-service? Basketball and some melodrama, there is very little fanservice in the novel and manga, Baby Princess has a lot more than this. |
|
| Well, everybody asked for less ecchi, and they got it. This was much better than last week. I'm glad Subaru agreed to carry on coaching the team :) |
 If you don't remember something, it never happened. If you aren't remembered, you never existed. <3 |

"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| First thought : Not enough Hinata >.> Such a touching scene between Subaru and Tomoka. Tomoka is a younger girl version of Subaru I'd say. It sorta seems like Subaru really just wants to coach Tomoka, not the entire club =p. Pretty nice plot, I am hooked now. |

HawthorneKitty said: The boy's basketball team is full of losers though; they should be licking the girls' feet and buying them chocolates. They really are right little jerks. I loved the bit where Tomoka kicked their leader's ass in her backstory, he really deserved it. Hope the girls do it to them again and humiliate them in front of the whole school. Never seen a group of little jerks who deserved it more than them. -Quasar said: I hope you enjoyed and felt cool owning Tomoka, Subaru. What a douche. As he noted to Tomoka afterward, she wouldn't have wanted him to go easy on her, and that's true. Tomoka refused to use a jump shot because he handicapped the match by saying he wouldn't jump (an obviously fair handicap because of the difference in height & age). Tomoka would have been much more upset at winning because he went easier on her. Enjoyed the 2nd episode, but hope there's more Hinata next episode. :D |
| Actually really enjoying this, I agree, it's kinda like a Kodomo no Jikan Sports Edition in a way. Certainly not complaining as I am a fan of both =) |
 |
| Better then the first episode... i'm officially hooked! Still this is way too loli, nonetheless i will watch it for sure! 5/5 |

| It was a better episode than the first one. Tomoka's story was pretty interesting, I was surprised to see how good she was at basketball as well. Looking forward to the match between the girls and boys. |
| not enough Hinata >w> this better change next ep or ill rage |

| Is it just me Subaru's sister really reminds me of Konata from Lucky Star? |
 |
| Kana Hanazawa never ceases to amaze me in her voicing of cute characters. |

ahmed_great2005 said: Is it just me Subaru's sister really reminds me of Konata from Lucky Star? She's not his sister, she's his aunt, and others have noted a similarity. I don't see it myself, Konata's much more laid back. |
| Subaru could probably beat the entire team himself if he had a reason too, but for now he'll be coaching them. |

| Is it just me or did Subaru's increasing level of pedo get noticed in this episode? I'm thinking he'll do something illegal before this series is over |
GJ8 said: Is it just me or did Subaru's increasing level of pedo get noticed in this episode? I'm thinking he'll do something illegal before this series is over He hasn't done any illegal acts in the novel so far. |
|
| Getting pretty interesting now. Hopefully he can teach them some tricks and make them win! It's the cliche "I want to protect your dream and not let you end up like me", but I like it nonetheless. |
