Damn, Ao High has got some serious competition! Shiro High is already so in sync and flows together well in their routine even though they have a couple of first years. Ao High's biggest hurdle is gonna be getting used to 6 members and getting Shoutaro up to speed.

I'm so impressed by this anime; they've got every element of a great sports anime so far with the beautiful animation, perfect soundtrack, and those characters - it's only ep 3 and I feel like I know them! Looks like they're going with the formula of lovable opponents too.

enjoyed it, It was a fluffy and wholesome episode. Mashiro is a very interesting character hope to see more of him in future eps.

The white haired fella seems like such a sweetheart :) and the rival school sure is interesting. I'm excited to see what'll happen between Ao and Shiro High and how things will play out between Misato/Futaba and,,,the white haired guy who's name I can't remember.



Also god damn it now I ship Misato and Mr White Hair-

White-haired Hinata appeared and he's a total cutie! His laugh is so contagious too.

Another fantastic episode. Characters and motivations may seem generic so far but the show's dedicated direction surely is making up for them. Not to mention that the overall execution has already shown to have way more passion and charm than all the spokon anime from the previous winter season.

Cute episode overall .

I liked the introduction of the new rival-white haired boy. He was literally jumping to anywhere he wants. He is damn good at it !

I hope they can build up the rivalry with the intro of the new team/teams even?

looking forward to the next ep.

shiro is actually very kawai lol

someone dropped the anime in ep 1 saying "man doing backflips is not interesting", i have to disagree, that's very fun to watch :D i'd probably prefer if it was made with girls instead, but sometimes a male sports anime is also interesting to watch
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)

That lively Mashiro dude is the cutest thing ever, probably my favorite character of the show. I love the choreographies and the direction, it's fluid and smooth. It also feels very dreamy. The writing is average, but it's a fun show to watch. It gives me so much joy.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

I wonder if the idols Onagawa likes were supposed to be a reference to Wake Up Girls, being in Sendai and all.

Anyway, I liked this episode quite a bit more than the previous ones. It's very generic spokon stuff, but the presentation and direction is very, very nice.

This episode was fun to watch than the previous one.

The ost in this episode was nice. And Mashiro is a really likeable character.

I wonder if that was Misato's gf or sister.

Futaba is so far behind, can he pull it off in such a short period of time....

And the rivals arrive, putting out an absolute masterpiece of a performance (or so its shown to be but it didn't really have an impact on me, since it was cut up so much and didn't flow really well, unlike the performance in Ep 1).

The rivals don't seem to be complete assholes for the sake of being assholes, so that's pretty good. There's some interesting character interactions to be had with this group.

Damn, I can't stop watching this is good! I can't help but yo laugh at Onagawa's lame nicknames lol. And I find this part really funny


Mashiro is surprisingly nice for showing/teaching Futaba how to do handstand.

Misato getting embarrassed is really cute lol
