New OP! Really nice new visuals on it : )

For the episode itself, it was decent. All of the creatures being themselves but in a baseball environment. Highlights were Panda falling asleep at the bat, Llama-san eating out at left field and Shirokuma's troll story plus him switching in all of the Squirrel moms against Grizzly-kun. Though Grizzly has to be put through so much crap because of Shirokuma, their friendship is still pretty great to watch.

The new OP was so cute! I didn't really like the format of this episode though.

Definitely a great OP. But was I the only one who noticed the girl pulling her skirt up in the new ED? Even if it was done in a very PG way it still felt a bit wrong for a show like this.
Ara ara.

i just come here to tell,i HATE the new opening -.-
its all about sasako,so annoying the girls voice,like sasako singing >.<
i want back boku no invitation mamamamahalo now >.< (the only song i liked in this whole anime - expect shirokuma's rap)
i will definitely skip op all the time now -.-

@DD the whole end is not worth waitching it,actually i dont like any ed of sc.


ok so im dissapointed,where sc leads to. this ep was the worst - or second worst- still. 2 part of baseball?! -.- it had nice moments (like sleeping panda baseball,llama eating the field, penguins awesome pitch *.* i need a gif by that and so...)
but seriously.
but that jacu coffee was hilarious intermission xD that was the best by the whole.

I don't like the new opening song, but it was nice seeing some different shots, llama was a charmer. xD The game was amazing. I loved giraffe's bat holding, Penguin's method of batting, and Masaki's cheering crowd. Who were surprisingly useful! I beat Polar Bear could have totally hit Grizzly's pitch but just went with the wackier option.

With the interlude, I've heard of the civet coffee before, but I still recoil every time. D:

I KNOW. I hate the ending. Why is it like pervy? :(
Wtf. Totally un-Shirokuma Café like. >:I

Opening is mediocre. I like the previous one better. This one is like a bad sounding opening for a romance anime. :/

Yay more wolf/lion/tiger. :D

Red panda is so adorable. :3

It's not her skirt. She's holding an umbrella.

With the new opening and the coffee edutainment section this felt like a Noitamina series - Moyashimon with animals instead of microbes...

The ending song didn't do anything for me at all.

The opening song would have been okay if it showed Sasako in a string bikini instead of bike riding.

I don't understand why comedy anime always try to do baseball episodes - they never work well.

Awww man, I really wanted to see Sasako-san playing too. =(

But still a great episode overall.
The giraffes building a pyramide and Shirokuma basically cheating totally cracked me up. That was hilarious.

Opening is "ok", I guess.
The refrain is kinda catchy with that engrish and I like more shots of Sasako-san. But the first opening was better imo.
The ending was superweird.

Well, it's Japan. They LOVE Baseball. Hard.

And I don't see how this episode didn't "work well".

I miss JP already. The new OP and the ED are meh.
The animation was bad. Especially in that short break where Masaki was talking about coffee beans.

Yea there's a girl with an umbrella but there's 2 pictures of skirts being pulled up. Look closely.

I thought the episode was cute, it had some really funny moments. My favorite was when panda threw the baseball, but he threw it to Mr. Anteater at 1st base.

Haven't seen this episode but I wanna comment on the OP and ED because they're new, desho?

ED - It's alright. I like the visuals! They are so unique! The song is alright, instrumentals wise. Voice is ehhh. XD

OP - Loving the visuals ofc and the music but the vocals are so...Un-professional? The mixing isn't all that great.

EDIT-
LMAO THIS EPISODE KILLED ME. Especially when Panda fell asleep. LOLOLOL

Ooh, new OP and ED this week! :O I quite like the OP, I think it fits in quite well and it's so cute, and the ED is awesome too. Looks like most of the characters are gonna get their own song :D Episode was OK, informative bit about coffee, but I didn't like the baseball that much >_< Still I thought it was pretty awesome how Grizzly's customers call him "Master" XD Oh well, looks like next episode we get some Rin Rin! :3

Perhaps this was stressed by the new OP, but I felt that the show altered its overall presentation. This was the first time we got a "two parter" story (though both parts were shown in one episode). Also, I think the pacing and structure of the stories changed a bit. I'll have to see if this new exposition style holds up over the rest of the show.

And now for something completely different.
