Ah more training. Under the management of the new manager, it looks like she's training the team by a LOT lol

I almost feel bad for them. But hey, at least they're learning.

Didn't the boy team also promise to get naked if they lose? It's the reason I still continue to watch this, I want to see Tobi/Kite naked.

The story with Sora and the milk for his mother was really touching.
I loved the development for Nanao in this episode, she's really a cute girl

Eh, think this episode was a little hodgepodge, too many things rolled into one with no real emphasis on any of it, plus a lot of yes-no-yes-no-yes-no jerking us left and right. Even the match ended rather abruptly and with a very big difference in points.

I mean I don't wanna say it's the reason, but a chance at that gorgeous pineapple is definitely a reason as far as I'm concerned... xD

One thing I hate about anime is the “oh guess we’ll just lose to the girls” trope. You’re telling me a team with a nationally ranked forward and an automatic three point shooter with two bigs and a height advantage all around couldn’t beat a girls team that couldn’t make it out of round 1 in their tournament? I’m sorry but that’s like having kyrie, Isaiah Thomas, Scotty pippin, and a tall pistol Pete on one team but they couldn’t muster a win against the local Rec team. (I know the positions of the players I named don’t match up correctly with the players in the anime but still) Just kind of takes you out of the show you know.

Nao really reminds me of Ceb (non-anime and Dota related). From being an average player to being a coach. That undying passion and dedication to a certain field.

That weird change of frame to day to sunset.

And here I thought we were going to get a beach episode of having training camp in Okinawa, but unfortunately their training camp will be at the school.

Well the boys team losing was kinda expected but also sad cause I'm sure literally everyone would've loved to get some of that Madoka. XD

Glad to see Nanao joining the team as the manager. :)

I'm quite sure the previous team Nanao was part of lost its match.

lol 'Cocky Pineapple Head' is now how I'm gonna refer to Kite from now on. Almost as good as "Goody goody talking forehead" or whatever it was

Also glad Nao isn't just some invincible newbie who is like a god, but she actually has her own problems as well

Huh...
- Yabuuchi Madoka on Kuramatani Sora's school.
- Yabuuchi-san taking care of Kuramatani Yuka.

Anyways, I like where this is going but WHERE THE HELL IS OUR CENTER? 1/4 of the show and the last member of the opening (which is amazing) is nowhere to be find.

No one got naked in the end :/

OK episode overall. I didn't really like how abrupt the match ended but well. Nao receiving more characterization was quite welcome tho.

Most likely, yes. After all, Madoka said Nao has never failed with her indications before.

Love this episode... actually this has shown the weakness of zone defense. Atleast they have now an idea of how to play vs a zone defense..

And that momoharu dunk is a shaqtin. Hahaha

Nao is OP!

Also, the scene when the nurse gave the mom the milk... lowkey teared up 'cus she always wanted Sora to drink the milk when he was a kid and now he's giving back.

Yeah, I wonder what happens that leads to that.

The more training, the better. I hope this ends up around the level of kuroko no basket/haikyuu

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

I didn't see any Madoka or Kite ass cheeks in this episode and the latter would've been more likely since the boys lost. Disappointing!

Though, I'm kinda glad they didn't because even though Chiaki is my favorite character, lord knows I don't want to see anything of his.

Well, of course, this show would have a training camp. Too bad they will have one in school.

Good to see the boys accepting Nao has their new manager.

Those idiots, working a whole day to only lose it to gambling. I kinda wonder, wouldn't it be more cost-saving to sleep and eat at home and train at school instead of doing extreme survivaling at school.
