Talk about forced drama. One second Kariu is reprimanding two of the other girls for bitching about Tama, the next she's yelling at Tama about the exact same things those girls were bitching about before.

Also, I literally don't care about either of them, so that just makes this focus on them worse.

I guess you don't like angst and drama. I get the feeling and that is totally fine. But not liking something =/= it being unrealistic.


I just don't like this kind of drama :)

I don't know how this was all played out in the source material but I'm not really interested in volleyball team drama... I want to see what happens when the experiment is over, and see what happens with everyone's unrequited love!

So now that Kariu's cool with Hishiro, she's thrashing it out with Tama.. can't help but wonder that one of these guys is 001.

I’ve seen my fair share of slice of life series and this one in my opinion the drama feels pretty organic in comparison with others shows (in some of them the drama felt forced for some reasons)...

So far all the things that are happening (drama wise)… enhanced my viewing experience with this show. Next episode here I go!

Interesting episode. It took the main focus off the MC and gave us some good characterization for Tama Chan and Rena.

Okay, Kariu is damn annoying. Yes, she's a perfectionist and that makes her really pathetic. How someone can have such an ugly personality.

Damn, Kariu was harsh to Honoka...

Anyway, Arata once again behaving like he's 50 or something xD. Dude, you are young! you have 27 years!

Hmm... this episode was kinda bittersweet. The fight between Kariu and Tamarai was kinda forced. The thing that confused me was that Tama was defending her like the week before and now she's shouting to her (?) I don't get it, I liked it tho but... not the best one.

I'm getting a bit tired of the "I can't do anything" drama, but the comedy makes up for everything. Oga-kun's "did you fail?" was the best! NEXT EP, PLEASE!

That nostalgia kicked in when the ED started playing. It wasn't until this ED that I realized they were playing old songs in the endings to match the time Arata was in high school over a decade ago. Should have realized it sooner because they showed the MD player when the music started...MDs that were at the height of it popularity in the 90's (in Japan) before slowly dying out. Pretty clever of them. Now I feel old.

I'm watching this for more Kaizaki scenes/happenings/developments but instead I'm consistently getting some (girl) drama orz

I mean I'm just kinda annoyed at this point because i'm watching this series not for these dramas by other characters but for some Kaizaki drama, though perhaps he will somehow play a role in this later on

And anyone else got reminded of kimi no todoke while watching? i'm getting more kimi no todoke feels from this series somehow

Nice drama, such events are all their world when they are young, I understand that.
Seems like Kariu still hasn't got over it then. Lack of confidence is bitch.

And I really like how An tried to steal the phone while talking to Kaizaki, her showing off when passing the test was also funny. She's great character.

Kariu's bollocking should have been much harsher than that. That warranted some screaming.

She was stupid to keep around, should have left her alone...a bit cliched drama innit, seen quite a lot of this, but at least this was played on well and the characters were well presented

A cover of the ED was a massive hit over here...quite familiar

To stick up for Kariu a bit

See it's this kind of shit that kinda makes me want to game instead of watching this show.

That was probably one of the most uninteresting episodes of this show I've seen. Thanks for ruining the moment, forced drama.
Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit.

Okay, this is a very bad episode. Come on. How did this get 8.3 with this forced cliche drama with a character we don't care 8 episodes ago?

And destroying all of Kariu's development given by Arata? Good job anime.

Honestly way too over dramatic. The piano insert song is bad an annoying af. Why is Kairu being a bitch? In her previous arc I didn't actually hate her, she just seemed like a frustrated teen. But in this one she is actually coming off as a bitch. When she defended tama I was happy, but now?? come on.

Idk I wasn't too fond of episode 7 either. Ep 7 bored me, this episode was just too dramatic. I do think the first 6 episodes were still really good though!

Actually a pretty decent episode until Kariu started doing her thing again. Drama only works when you care about the characters that are involved in it, something that this series repeatedly shows to not understand.

I don't really care for the volleyball drama, sad that it's in the spotlight again.

I don't think they went backwards with Kariu. Before, she accepted that she won't ever be as good as the captain, and it's ok because she keeps improving herself and that's what matters ("become a better version of yourself" instead of comparing to others). Now, her efforts to improve herself has been cut short, and she doesn't even get to participate in the matches, so she's mad again.

I guess Arata failing every damn exam is supposed for comic relief, but it's starting to annoy me. Just how stupid is he; he didn't score average in any of the tests.

Kariu showed a dark side of herself there. If she really believes what she said, and I think she does, I don't see how she can really call Tama a friend/rival. I don't think what she said was something buried in her sub conscience, but rather thoughts she has been struggling with for quite some time.

I do hope this doesn't just get resolved again by a lecture from Arata.

Arata being made fun of Kazu and Yoaka is priceless. They do love to mess with him.

But it's feat that he just keeps on taking retests. Hahaha!!!

Yeah... I can understand why she would be jealous of them, but it's really annoying to see her hurting others because of her own delusions of how other people feel/think. This would have been fine once, but it happened twice in such a short time, and almost the same thing :/ Especially after defending Tamarai from those girls earlier. Poor Tamarai :/
Any normal person would be grateful to be so good at both sports and studying, and being able to maintain this level.
I can't wait to see Kaizaki step in once again and solve Kariu's problem only to her once again lash out at somebody else later, probably this time concerning Ooga.
