| What tease. They made the opening parts of this episode looked like a thriller at first with Teru wondering the town. Same vibes came back in no time with Teru, his friends, and food. Japan sure also loves its baseball games. The little cat outfits are adorable! One of the few anime this season I enjoy seeing these gimmicks being used. |
 |
| A lot of horror this episode even tho it the horror at the start was caused by baseball. Kana finally hugged Teru even if she didn't realise it at first. Well the are in a team now for the dare event let's hope something nice happens to bring the couple closer. |
| Oh shit I thought we had changed genres to horror with that opening scene lmao. Nice bait and switch. That’s pretty dope that Koshien is a big enough deal in Okinawa to shut down all the businesses, it’s like the World Cup or champions league final in other places. TIL that under American occupation you needed a passport to go to mainland Japan. Too bad the team didn’t get to bring back dirt to celebrate their qualification 😔 lmao at Kana’s friend getting up so that Kana would grab on Teru The biodiversity of the yaeyama islands was cool to learn about too. I looked up irimote cats and sadly it seems like they’re on the verge of extinction, I’d imagine from climate change. Only a 100 or so left now :/ but there’s so many beautiful unique species of animals in that region of the world it’s important to preserve as many as we can! Back to the horror vibes to end the episode, that bus story was spooky, but even spookier is Kana having to confess next week?? Can’t wait |

| How can the mention and describe the Iriomote Cat but didn't visit the island?! The UNESCO World Heritage Site in Okinawa mentioned in this episode consists of the protected areas in the islands of Amami-Oshima, Tokushima, Okinawa, and Iriomote. In which the first two islands are actually located in Kagoshima Prefecture. It is one of the recent World Heritage Sites in Japan, along with Jomon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan. Both of them were registered in 2021. However, the most recent World Heritage Site in Japan is Sado Island Gold Mines, which got its registration just in 2024. Uchikabi is money made for the use of departed ancestors in the other world. It's sent to them in religious ceremonies by burning. It's similar to the Chinese joss paper. Famichiki mentioned! It's one of the best fried chicken ever.  |
真姫ちゃん！ 何が好き？ トマト よりも あ･な･た♡  |
| Kana was so cute getting excited watching the baseball who wouldn't want to be hugged by her. Really looking forward to seeing her team up with Teru for the test of courage. |
| Kannaa was hella into the game. Well, Kannaa, this is your ultimate shot next episode. If you fail to score at least a minor break into his thoughts and affections, YOU LOSE. So goddamn make the most of it rather than being a coward. We need some real triangle drama here. Do not fail Cyrano De Bergerac style on us. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| Quite an informative "horror" episode. I loved the part about Iriomote's wildcats, seeing Kana, Hina and Yae dressed as kittens was cute and funny. I really hope this time it's not just another bait and fate brings Kana and Teru together for the bravery game. I hope Hina or something else interrupts them; I'll be very angry if it happens again. I really enjoy the Okinawan curiosities, but with the little time left in the anime, I hope we get to see some romantic development. |
 |
| What a nice "horror" episode lol Very fun, Yae's story at the end was actually pretty good to tell among friends Also, Yae again being the MVP for Kana and Teru, she never misses a chance huh, I like her SpankahJoestar said: I wish I had a Kana in my life Same, she was so cute excited about baseball, so precious |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| was that a mieruko chan reference lol |
 |
| I thought I was watching Yamishibai near the end of this one lol, it’s not quite Sunday evening yet. Those were some pretty good spooky stories tho, the thing in the tree actually did kinda spook me because I couldn’t make out what it was right away, and then Yae’s story just reminded me of Mieruko-chan which was very nice. And hell yeah Higa and Teruaki are gonna do the test of courage together! At least I hope so, it’s possible it’s just a tease or something interrupts them but hopefully it’s still a good time. There were other good bits in this one as well, I wasn’t fooled by the opening ghost town bit because I figured it was another Okinawans being silly thing, and of course it was with the baseball game lol, but I did love seeing Higa get really into it, Yae with that genius play of switching seats made it golden. The Iriomote Cat bit was also really cute, anytime they dress the girls up as the animals I’m a fan of, it was informative too but it’s kinda sad that there’s not a lot of that cat around anymore, it’s so cute too. |
| Not really sure why this series is so low ranked - it's quite good |
 |
| Basically a horror episode, I dont mind. Kana and Teru next episode yes!1 |
Sakaki and Maya from Azumanga Daioh brought these kitties into my heart. I have really enjoyed this series "Okinawan Tourism Sales Pitch" or not.. I have always been intrigued by Okinawa and the characters are so delightful that it makes it very enjoyable. |
| Started this episode off with some left behind (Slipknot Song) stuff with Nakamura looking around to find a sign of anybody on this wretched earth left and there is nobody and then Higa, Kyan-San, and Agena show up out of nowhere and in typical Okitsura fashion explain exactly what is happening and it turns out everyone in Okinawa is watching a baseball game, (Surely not everybody likes baseball) Well anyway they watch the game and Agena plots up some shit with Higa and makes sure she ends up Latching onto Nakamura and in typical anime fashion "Oh I'm sorry" While blushing. Anyway then they all tell scary stories and that one on the bus was like some stuff off of MrBallen (Horror Story youtuber i used to watch) But it was actually really well done. I really wanna see those cats they were talking about on that island. Now they all got in pairs for the typical anime Test of Courage school break thing and i called it, Higa and Nakamura are in pairs. Literally called it. Well they ended the episode there so we will have to see where they take it. I wonder if this is going to end up with romance between Higa and Nakamura or Kyan-San and Nakamura? |

| @elkensteyin It's filling the void that Non Non Biyori left. |
| Not gonna lie, Was watching this by 4 AM and that tree story horror got me |
| Sport Club Corinthians Paulist is the biggest football team in the world. 51 is cachaça |
| A few very amusing moments for both Hina and Kana, plus some very interesting Okinawa facts and a very good cliffhanger. Another great episode :) |
| Seeing how deserted a lot of places are when a major baseball match is played does remind me of what the UK can be like when the Euros or World Cup is on, with how everyone gather at homes or public places to watch who wins. It was nice to see how everyone was enjoying the baseball match, especially Kana whose excitement was incredibly adorable! As before, this series is good at the educational stuff and learning about the wildcats on Iriomote Island and how they adapted to their environment over the many years was fascinating. Having Hina, Kana and Yae dress us as chibi versions of the wildcats was a great bonus, too. =) Another thing that I enjoyed was seeing Hina getting caught by surprise from hearing a dialect that she didn't understand, which was conveniently timed after she boasted about knowing so much about the Okinawan dialect. She might be my favourite, but seeing her like this was a bit refreshing. The test of courage looks to be promising. The scary stories was the appetiser and both Hina and Kana got scared easily by them. I'm glad that Kana will be paired up with Teru, which could potentially helped to get them closer. |
| Finding yourself in a ghost town must be a surreal exp. Course that is without zombies or some pandemic. Wow thats some support the town have for their baseball team. To the point of shutting the town down to watch the game. Yae is such a shrewd supporter. The iriomote cat was a nice tale. |

| @Spast1c LOL - I've been on MAL for over 10 years and he's been doing that for as long as I can remember. Not every anime, as Aversa does some intro comments, and he doesn't do hentai, but he does many of the others. |

| Teru facing a thriller apocalypse being the only one in Okinawa, and it's all because...of baseball. Okinawans sure are obsessive when it comes to the baseball Koshien period, and it's a widespread shutdown just to see their small pride be represented on a national stage. Of course, Okinawan names are just like their language counterparts, and Yae clearly just wants to pair Kana with Teru so, so badly lols. Playing Shiritori, the Okinawan version sure plays endlessly with the lessening of vowels (using just a, i and u, then repeat e and o for i and u), and this at least is simple to understand why the local speak is just as interesting and enticing, yet as confusing when trying to converse with neighbours over in different villages. The Summer break, while nice for shaved ice, it's seeing a lot of local creatures like the Yamapikaryaa a.k.a Iriomote Cat, which true fact, these World Heritage sites have been designated as such. But with their habitat a lot more constrained, their diets are however confined to whatever's at the island, so they're not as picky eaters, as endangered as their species could be if there's any shift to their natural living. At least Suzu got to eat her cherry tomatoes. Leaving the very last day of Summer break for the Test of Courage, and it's clear that both Hina and Kana are not a fan of scary/horror stories, while leaving the stories with uchikabi (similar to the Chinese joss paper, money burnt for the dead). And God behold that Teru got paired...with Kana of all people. Kana, make this moment count, otherwise you're screwed for all your life. |
 |
| Oh, well I went to Iriomote but didn't see any of these cats sadly, beautiful island though. |
 |
| Yae having her fill watching Kana all flustered, she's such a tease. Guess next episode will push Kana to get physical with Teruaki, but of course Teruaki will remain oblivious to her felling yet again. |
   |
| That beginning seemed like something from a completely different anime. I won't deny it... It was interesting. Lol Yae is a total threat to Kana! And I don't understand how the punishment relates to the t-shirt and the slushies...? I mean, he stared at that part. Maybe the double color? Creepy ending. It also made me want to participate in a test of courage. Great episode! |
