| holyshit that's actually pretty good ?! I have zero expectation & little doubtful to start this but I'm glad I tried, no regret dem OST tho HNNNNGG |
| The PV were interesting, it does not seem to have disappointed my expectations this episode. Very funny and even moe cast. The designs are nice, decent animations. The thing I liked the most to me, however, was the soundtrack, I give him confidence, I continue. CrotakuShinobi said: This is moe + ping pong I agree! |
 |
| This was the best among the new stuff. Koyori is really a fun character. Lol at Agari getting jelly for losing her spot as the ace. It will be interesting to see her tsundere act towards koyori. |
 |
| Shy girl who becomes a beast when she picks up a paddle. Not bad for a premise. The girls look a bit cartoon-ish, but will keep watching for the plot. Seems like it has potential. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| moe pingpong sports anime...ok LMAO. to be honest, almost all the scenes were really dramatic, but watching then play ping pong and talk about strategy was actually vaguely interesting. I'm into it. |
I couldn't think of anything cool to put here.  |
| I find this cute, but creepy cute I mean that ping pong match in the start of the episode had that black haired girl with the creepy smile and that green haired, green eyed yandere-looking chick |

| I enjoyed this. Even though I'm not a huge fan of these faces, the fact they actually put sweat into the mix of their clothes was an interesting approach, the music during the ping pong match between Munemune and Koyori was awesome, and the action was just really intense. It was crazy how much I was getting into the game in the first episode! I'm also curious how Kiruka comes into the story, because she was obviously on a team in the beginning and it looks like she joins the middle school team eventually. |

| Wake Up, Girls! for the ending ! It so great to hear them sing an anime song :). About episode, it was intense. I found this episode entertaining as expected, but the character designs is weird. I need to get used to it. |
| Great start, awesome art and animation, nice OP and ED. Now I have high hopes for this. Btw, translation from CR sucks, most of wordplays are lost in translation. At least they kept in honorifics. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Ping Pong the Animation eat your heart out moe rules all |
| anime rules hard. haters gonna hate. |
| Saki meets Ping Pong, great! |
 |
| they were already losing by 10points but they acted surprised anway ok seems legit |
 |
| Quirky artwork, otherwise interesting. |
 |
| Right, forgot this was a ping pong anime, I saw the cute girls on the front on Gogo anime and remembered the name but not what it was about... Art style is kind of cute, but is kind of meh too. This is gonna make me wanna play ping pong though. Enjoy the fame while it lasts, cause you gonna get wrekt later hehehe, and boy is jealousy a powerful thing. And ummm, theres quite a few oppai jokes for the first episode. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| I like how wet the girls get when they play. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| I cringed a lot, because i really don't want to be watching this stuff buuuut... The competitive ping-pong was great, fun smiles, and fills my perversion. ...But if they keep these intense match bits I will be happy. |
  |
| Meh. Not too enthused about this. It feels a bit slow and boring. I think this would be better as a short anime with episodes in the 7-10 minute range. |
 |
| talk about a good first episode! the characters are cute, voice acting on point, nice animation, and wug-chan making that bank. |
| tfw moe ping pong show has more animation than Days |
| Very nice: table tennis right from the start. Of course, the sport doesn't transfer that good in an animation series but it was decent enough to like it. The introduced characters are standard, nothing very interesting nor horrible, except the heroin's view of the game (but it's a personal problem). Maybe the point of the story will be to get her to play for the sport itself. The new student could have been slightly less excited. The drawings are the main problem: all those heads/features style and multi-coloured hairs are distractingly strange (for someone who never minded the supposed ugly noses in Escaflowne), especially the eyes. The "funny" expressions are used toonoften, making the characters even uglier than they truly are. I read above that it was "cute" but I doubt it. By the way, a "moe" character means that it makes you feel overprotective about it (like with a little sibling). 3.5+/4 Seems like a "okay anime" with an unfitting charadesign. Something I will gladly watch if I find the time (if the sport part doesn't disappear). Tentative score: 5~6/10 |

| Oh nice. Ping Pong season 2 is off to a great start! The art changed so much though. |

Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| I juat cant get over the nickname Munemune especially when Koyori(sp?) called her oppaioppai-senpai |
Around and around the cycle goes. |
| Really curious with the green-haired girl. She has that I'M THE LAST BOSS vibe to her, especially with the badass backturn right after the serve in the OP animation. God. |
 |
| Agari looks different from the manga and not in a good way IMO. |
 |
| Better than what I expected |
GangsterCat said: Red_Ranger_Wien said: this moe pingpong anime is way better than garbage days loltfw moe ping pong show has more animation than Days Couldn't agree more |
| This was super good, definitely gonna be my favorite after Bungou stray dogs. Felt bad for Agari there, definitely rooting for her in whatever happens next. She looks like Aoba-chan from New Game, i loved Aoba so I'm gonna root for Agari here |
| I wasn't expecting it to be this good. I'm rather happy to have been wrong. Def gonna keep up with this one this season. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| I only started watching this because I found out wake up girls were doing te op and ed. If it werent fot them, I would have never started watching this. Went in with low expectations and came out fairly entertained. loved the character designs and the faces they make. |
| Powered by yuri. Needless to say, I finish all anime I start, no matter my initial opinion, no matter how bad it gets, I WILL FINISH IT! http://www.anime-planet.com/users/zunderdog24  |
| Moe and Ping Pong yes!!! |
| Ah, I was hoping this would be decent, pleasantly surprised. I like the frosty infodump girl who's talking into her jacket lol |
 |
| Didn't really expect that. Fun episode and like Stark said there eyes are too big. |
 |
| I've never expected this show to be good huh! PingPong-moe!? I'm IN!!! ED was from the Group: Wake-up Girls! (which is actually the seiyuu for Wake-up Girls anime!) nice! 5/5. |
 |
| I wasn't sure what to expect from this. But this was really enjoyable. Koyori is waaaaay too fucking adorable. Too much HNNNNNGGG. I'm interested to see how Aoba Agari will develop with her situation. Also love her little arrow hairpin. It's cute. Mune Oomune -> Munemune -> Also cause huge chest. What a great name. |

| pretty young girls playing ping-pong.... sports? echhi? life? imposible to know for the moment... the first episode was nice, althought very comun....6/10. |
| already in love with this series its like saki in alot of ways so will be enjoying this series looking forward to next ep |
| "one step at a time" |
| When i see the cover, i didn't expected much from this serie. . . That pinky-cutesy artstyle. . . But judging from the story, it actually interesting. . . Looking forward to the next episode. . . Seems like we will get agari's development. . . |

| Looking great, hope it will meet my expectations. I love Ping Pong, that's why i started watching this anime. I've never seen so much sweat in my life xD But i'm enjoying their games. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| the ping pong that Saki played |
| Expected silliness and fun. This was actually good. Probably the best first ep. yet for me. |
 |
sweetdrops said: 6.00 score? Why so low? MAL scores are infamously bad. This was great, but yeah, the character designs is the show's worst aspect. They're not even that moe, just ugly. |
| that first scene about how they said if it's impossible to defeat their team because they're always become the champion for years, that really annoys me. But, everything after that scene is good and funny. |
