Makoto's fear is quite interesting. I am just not sure whether it is pathetic or acceptable.

I'd say Makoto's fear is understandable and believable compared to most of the unbelievable power of youth stuff I'm used to seeing.

1/2 Maekawa, 1/2 Ryuushi. Maekawa's actually showing a bit more of an interest in Niwa this time. Heh, she's a bit late with that. And I guess she doesn't like her height? Or was it that she wanted to get taller? 5'8" is pretty tall for a Japanese woman.

She has a complex. I have a feeling her cosplaying is a combination of her like of games and such and her wish to hide her height.

I liked how at the end of the episode Niwa just leans back and crosses his arms

So... Yelling like that... when no one else is even making a sound... in a close court... that was impressive.
Watch him loose all those points in the next episode = P

Something have been bugging me for quite a while, Is calling someone by his first name such a big deal in Japan? or its just an anime thing?

Actually, it is a big deal in Japan. From what I know, even classmates usually call each other by the family name. Japanese people are on a first name basis with family members (obviously), close friends and lovers, but rarely with anyone else.

Calling someone by their first name in Japan means you're either a relative or a person very close to them which mostly likely if you're the opposite sex. Both of you might be mistaken as lovers.

lol@ Ryuushi's engrish "Attention Purisu"

I applaud Makoto for his impressive shout out. That was actually embarrassing but hey, If you pull it off not looking like an idiot. You get a lot of puberty points and impress your woman. Good job.

Yeah, I want one.
And Makoto shouting to Ryuushi was somehow painful to watch. He just had to go for a long speech instead of just saying something like "You can do it!" ಠ_ಠ

I am confused as to why Ryuuko got free throws for tackling that other girl. Definitely should have been a charge. And it looks like she crossed the line while shooting, so it shouldnt have counted anyways. More importantly, this episode was kind of boring. And I was almost too embarrassed to watch that speech.

That's the point. It takes balls to interrupt a game and give speech while telling everyone your own fears.

Yashiro becomes more believable as the alien observer by the episode as does the possibility of a second season. This is based on a LN with enough books out that we could see one, right?

as the others said, yes, it's a big deal... calling someone in their first name in Japan is usually reserved only for people close to each other, like (close) relatives and close friends...

and afaik, it's the same thing for honorifics... calling someone's name, first name or last name, without honorifics, is also only for people with close relationship...

yeah, i felt bad watching his monologue... why the need to say a lot when you're just supposed to cheer?

that lolinaut is quite interesting... when he told Makoto to use his "esper powers" to help Ryuushi, what Makoto did is cheered on Ryuushi, which made her inspired and consequently enabled her to shoot the ball...

i have a feeling that esper power she's talking about is something deeper...

For the 1st part, Maekawa was interesting there in her no-costume mode. Didn't notice she was taller than Makoto.

2nd part, Yashiro talking about ESP which might symbolize something.

Makoto's long speech there is totally embarassing yet he got balls to do it in front of everyone. That's what I call a man!!

Also, Miki is gorgeous. :D

Unto the next episode..

Yay for more Maekawa's screentime. Although, I don't like the fact that they guy doesn't seem to be interested in her too much. Too bad, cause he is the one losing out, since Maekawa seems to be the most interesting girl here.
Enough with the love for Maekawa.
First part was good, otherwise it was an ok episode. Still disliking that overly moe art for chars.

No Meme this episode [despite the fact she auto-inserted herself in the episode title… I guess she had a reason for feeling lonely. Not even a one-second appearance of her there.]

Oh man, Makoto. That was the most embarrassing motivational speech I’ve ever heard in my life. But he had guts, that’s for sure; it had to be him, of course, who else? Painful but cool, on some way and let’s leave it that way.

It’s the first time I may admit –begrudgely– that I like something that Yashiro said. Behind that annoying esper trash she meant to say something meaningful, at least.

Episode 12: “0.00000000198 Centimeters Per Second”
That title cracked me up. I love you, SHAFT.

Now, onto the next and final episode.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Nice!

Erio on the bed was too cute, and then Ryuushi starting using engrish to attract Makoto's attention, I was consumed by a moe overload and had to neck a shot of whiskey to stop from exploding!

Well, got ep12 to watch right now so im off...

yeah the speech was pretty lame .... and he won't end up going out with Ryuushi or Maekawa. Erio is just lame, and the space suit loli is even worse. another example of side characters being way better written.

Poor Ryuuko being teased for bringing Makoto to watch her game.
That friend of her seems rather interesting and there where some unexpected people at the game as well.

Makoto needs to learn what a girls means when she invites you to her home he doesn't get the hind at all but maybe next time a guess.

Now that's inspirational! I like the fact they actually took real concepts and made it work for the show! When Niwa screamed, he screamed loud enough that he choked! When you meet people in Japan, there's bound to be a girl who doesn't have pink hair, likes video games, and is 5'8''! I'm loving this anime to the death of me! Sad to see another one go down in history so quickly! Looking forward to the last!

A man wouldn't be manly in an anime without his over the top, morale overcharging speech followed by the utter destruction of or complete demoralization of the enemy... sadly this just wasn't it ^^

I do truly feel bad for Maekawa but I am still cheering for Eiro, even though Niwa and Ryuuko really belong together and all that~

And I was curious about the donut reference too...

Anyway last episode lets go!
