| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cool, we got the extension of Haruka/Kanata vs the Thomas siblings. There was a lot of back and forth as both teams bought out their best against one another. I truly think this was a match that extended my expectations. Looks like we got a score of 14-14 so it'll be interesting to see who will take the game. |
 |
| That was really a major cliffhanger and a tense match. Can't wait till next week and see the end result of this one. Now i wonder what we will see next time besides the ending of the match seeing what happened so far. |
| I dont know why it took me 11 episodes to realize that this is not fanservice anime, but pure sports anime lmao. Next week finale. |
 |
| I was already beginning to worry that they would end their confrontation on the second episode and the finale would be dedicated to some silly CGDCT. But the second clifhanger for one match, lol. |
 |
| I really thought the girls are done when the credits started to showing off without sound and there was just 3 minutes more of episode. My heart skipped a beat there. |
| A lot of intensity from both sides in this episode. I'm looking forward to next week's finale to see the results of this match. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| I think they're making a mistake with Harukana Receive - they're stretching the matches out too long. Unfortunately, unlike Haikyuu or Kuroko, they're most likely not going to get a 2nd season, so it's kind of pointless for them to end this on a cliffhanger, which is most likely what's going to happen with just one episode left. That all being said, the episode itself was very good |
 |
| I can’t believe they ended on a tie-game cliffhanger, lol... But daaaammn, was I on the edge of my seat the whole way through! Even though I’m rooting for Haruka and Kanata, I really like all four girls. And I’ve been intrigued and moved by their backstories. This is one of only two sports anime that I’m watching this season, ‘Hanebado’ being the other one. And holy schnikes could the directors of that series really learn a thing or two about building engagement through characterization and personality, as well as anticipation for the sport itself, through the plotting, pacing, tutorial and character dynamics on display, herein. |

| Normally I'd be miffed at a single match taking so long, but this show actually pulls it off. Immensely entertaining. |

| That cliffhanger though! I really can't wait to see who will be victorious and you decide to end it at 14-14... Well Done! Once again, like last week, this match was so intense! I love it! |
 |
| well I mean episode 1 kinda says who will win.. but doesnt take away from the fact that its a fun match. Though im not sure how loyal its being SM wise after volume 1 which got a 'mostly' ; gotta wait for that to ship to fgind out haha. either way fun match. |
| I expected the deuce tbh, but I'm not sure regarding the result. I wouldn't mind a second season with Haruka and Kanata at nationals, still think that Claire and Emily have the edge. |

| I just know the Thomas Sisters are gonna win but HaruKana are putting up a good fight nonetheless. |
 |
| HaruKana is giving a good fight! It will be hard but i believe they can win! Kanata can be small but she is very resistant to long games. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| It took me a while but finally I can agree with some people here about the OST. The tracks used during the match this episode were really good. The use of drums in some of them were a nice touch. Kanata has great stamina to be so small. That "I can still move" and following gained points sure gave Haruka the courage she had lost with her last failed shot. One episode left and I'm not that sure who will win... I liked the four girls to be honest but If I have to choose, I would prefer to see HaruKana winning so that Kanata could possibly play against Narumi in the Nationals. |
| Really entertaining to watch the match. Animation has been decent quality just like ep 10. I can feel the tension in the court. They even managed to lead for a short time in the third round..... but only complaint is why do they have to drag the match for 3 episodes, whyyyy? >< |
| Oh boy! Next episode will be the real cliffhangerer! I am feeling it! This last two episode have been so epic, either Eclair or Harukana had done their best, i respect them cause of that, they are really exausted, only Kanata seems to be less exausted, thats why i cant choose a side, i will be happy which both results! I would never expect to get this hype in this show, but i am glad that i did, this show exceeded my expectations!! |
 |
| The deuce was kinda predicted imo, but hey, I kinda feel sad there's only one episode left for next week. |

Look it up if you haven't and then try calling bullshit again. This is what we call underdogs in sports and every now and then underdogs can achieve the impossible. |

"If you don't like the way your life is than do something about it instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself." "You want something go get it. Period." |
| As others have said, the deuce was obvious. I see three possible outcomes from this: - First (more likely and I would hate it): Haruka pulls a move far above her skill level and wins because glorious MC. - Second (the logical one): the Thomas sisters win, everybody is happy after such intense match and now Harukana can work harder with defeating them like it has been for Claire all this years. -Third (the one I want to see according to my feelings through all the matches): Kanata finally stops doing that stupid move all the time and hits the ball like a real woman winning the match and realizing she can play like anyone and not being a stupid one-trick support. |

| Good episode, great match, next week it's over, still hoping for harukana team to win |

kirigayaya said: Dude youre seriously stressing over anime? Logic isnt applicable in this mediumxeco said: LOL , 1st Kanata is even better player than them , she was in the team that defeat them in the past , there is a difference between talent and effort , even if one person trains all of his/her life if they come across someone that is gifted in the sport , the amount of effort means nothing dude she was in ther hight + she had strong teamate now she have newbie teamate (few months in theg sport)+she is half the hight+she just start playing after years the sisters are number 2 in all japan like wtf think for a sec stop be fooled by the mc power or (power of freindship) |
| That was intense and quite fun to watch. I'm definitely interested in the finale of this match and show next week :D |
| One episode left ?! They did not even start the final match, so are they going to finish the final match it just one episode ?! |
| Awwwwww! Marissa explaining rivals was so sweet! Claire has honor! She doesn't want to beat someone while they're down! Ok we're mixing electric guitar with bongo drums now... The finals are being streamed online? That's unexpected... Guitars and drums... Haruka uses the topspin! I LOVE IT! The anime doesn't explain it. You just see it so that they can keep the action going! This is really close, and they're getting exhausted... Why did it have to end on a deuce? Now this match will literally go on forever! |
 |
| All this tension im just waiting for one of them to snap and someone to yell out worldstar, but their showing some professionalism in this sport for all to ogle |
| This might be the most intense and best episode as of current yet! there's the last episode so they're saving it for the climax but this episode 11 was really great! I didn't even noticed that the credits rolled on the screen and it felt like 5 minutes and I was absorbed enjoying the very tough extremely close fight! 5/5. |
 |
| Thrilling episode, I like the fact that both sides are devoted to win. Well, it's obvious how this ends (mainly because of Kanata x Narumi's backstory) but their match is still very enjoyable to watch. Some top-notch action. |
| Well. If we based on the fact that the Thomas Sisters are the no. 2 in Japan it is really impossible for haruka and kanata to win, due to the fact that Haruka just started playing. I mean come on. But screw that! I love the intensity of this episode. Exceed my expectations! |
| Of course Emily and Claire will lose because they are not MC's. That's bullshit nature of sports animes. |
| So the last episode will be all about that match point, eh? Not expecting more fanservice in that one, guess this really was more sports than ecchi in the end after all. |
| Well it's extremely tense now xD 14 - 14, I really don't know who will win |
 |
| What a match. This is so tense. 14 - 14 |
