THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Theme of the week: youth drama, in theory, I saw it more like another sports anime episode but with delinquents.

In this episode:
- Excel returns to her old high school... Inunabe High, which is Japanese for "Roasted Dog High". No wonder why she picked a dog as emergency food XD
- We see a delinquent with a 3 meter pompadour. Yes, I said, 3 meters, or 10 feet in Imperial units.
- The opposing team is made of monkeys.
- It became a high school more wretched than the most ghetto high school of Compton.

I can tell it's not youth drama because the focus was in the baseball tournament, and because many people around my age grew up with a youth drama very successful in Latin America called Rebelde. And though I thought it was kinda redundant to put another sports anime episode, this one was way better done than the one at the bowling alley. It did actually featured some clichéd but well done drama (though that's a given), and it was a good save our students plot overall.

So, what do you guys think?

There was a song that was parodied numerous times in this episode. It is 冬が来る前に (fuyu ga kuru mae ni) by 紙ふうせん (kamifūsen). Lol @ the monkey batter, both his names started with Saru which is Japanese for monkey xD.

Support BL fandom!

the ghetto school was great and all... but the 10 foot pompadour took the cake. I fell out of my chair laughing.

Yay to more sports, also felt a bit like Onizuka xD

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

LOL Binbou's giant pompadour 🤣

This was exactly the kind of cocaine-fueled chaos that I want from Excel Saga.

Beep boop
