Pretty slow episode. There's some bromance though while we still get the training stuff from the guys with awkward movements.

Gotta aim for that dream though...
Breaker's full time coach Takagi seems like a good choice to make their team strong. (even though she is bit critical)

Haruki is a decent motivator on the team. I kinda like how he uses both words and action.

Oh, so the rest of the boys all joined at once... I wasn't expecting that, thought they'd introduce them little by little. But it makes sense that more people would be interested after watching their debut.

I like how all the boys have different looks and personalities, it makes me want more about them. But we'll need at least two cours to get a decent development I guess... the number of episodes isn't confirmed yet, right?

I'm really curious to see what's gonna happen.

Aw, I really wanted it to be 2 cours long...
I'll be hoping that they are wrong, haha.
Thank you!

Shou, what magazine are you reading to get your fashion sense, 'cause what you're wearing keeps getting bizarre each day....THOSE BEADS NEED TO GO! LOL
Haru just did what his coach wrote in the notebook, Beat Kazu!LOL
All the members are so cute! Everyone work hard!
Poor Shou, no wonder he didn't want to participate :( Hope he overcomes this obstacle.

Lol, they really went with the Gin, Kin, Gou nicknames XD

So we finally got to know Shou's past and why he didn't want to actually participate in the team. It's definitely understandable that he would run away due to the trauma, I wouldn't believe in myself afterwards either if that had happened. But Sakura didn't blame him, and kept believing that she could do anything with him as her base. I'm sure that helped him a bit at the very least, even if he didn't go back to cheerleading. I'm glad Haru seems to be getting through Shou though. I mean Shou had also seen first hand how Haru was able to overcome his fear of heights.

Speaking of Haru, he's such a good senpai, talking with all the new members :) Also that judo throw though, only such a close friend such as Kazu would understand what Haru was saying and not get mad at suddenly being thrown like that lol. I do like the analogy of how throwing means you have to learn how to fall too, a fresh take on the failing before you achieve success lines.

Coach Takagi is great, telling them that they suck but with practice they can even surpass Dreams! Realistic but positive. Glad she joined the team!

hopefully we get to know the new members a bit more and that saku's personality gets expanded upon, he should be more than just the gay character.

Lots of new characters-could have been awful and many could have been left out but was handled well. Even though no one really got major development we were given enough to see their character/general things about them which was excellent. Nice that the plot is moving and there is a goal to strive towards plus Sho's backstory was a great addition. Pacing was a lot better compared to the first two episodes especially, this series is shaping up to be fantastic.

Ohhh Sho <3 :( No wonder he doesn't want to participate in the stunts. If it were me, I honestly don't know how I'd move past something like that. His backstory is definitely a good addition to the story, and I'm sure they'll explore it further, along with Haru's own issues. As much as I like the comedy and lightheartedness of this series, I really wanna see the characters develop and overcome their fears.

Lots of new characters. I wasn't expecting the team to assemble so quickly but this way they can get on with the routines and the tournament...!! I'm excited for that, and to see what kinds of routines they can do now with more people and an actual coach.

Looking forward to seeing what ridiculous outfits Sho wears next week! :3

Saku is an adorable, ballerina cat boy who has the hots for Kazu. What more could I ask for?

That said, who doesn't love Kazu!?

The Breakers have so many new, interesting characters now! I look forward to their progress!

Wow, all those team mates came at once. I also expected a more gradual introduction of all the characters, but I do like the atmosphere of them all together now. I don't remember all their names, but we did get little glimpses at them all as individuals. I enjoyed the episode but did anyone else notice the slightly less than stellar animation quality of the main character's faces this episode?

I get the feeling most of the new characters won't contribute anything real important, but it's nice to have a bigger cast nonetheless.

Ok. Assuming that they're complete now aren't they still missing 1 person? I remember from the previous episodes (I really don't remember which) that they need 17 members to compete and I counted the guys in the opening and there are only 16. Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong?

Saku my bright smol child is the gay that I've been waiting for. He's adorable.

Awww their hair colors were only temporary... where do I find that? I want to try it.

I wasn't expecting some bosozoku-looking guys to join but I ain't complaining. I like Takeru and his afro. So many new characters! :D They were like BAM BAM BAM here's the addition to the cast. I think it's adorable that the professor's son is exactly like him but younger. Also, Saku, trap alert. I honestly thought he was a boyish-looking or tomboyish girl. RYUZO! Getting a box of tissues from Kazu, that's love. You don't use tissue in Japan unless you about to jerk off, j/k.

The dancer guys seem like a good addition, not sure about the rest except for the China exchange student who is so flexible he must be a diver or gymnast.
