With father's advise, 5ht graders are better in team work now, with some kind of rotation. The guy and that blue hair girl realized it. 6th graders won at the end. So childhood girl is going to be the coach for 5th graders, and it was also that guy's request.

Tomoka's b-day, and lol @ that childhood girl for thinking that he's going to buy a gift for her. At least childhood girl gave her a gift, too.

Deepening relations with scoop shot!

I just realized at ED, the running part kinds of like IS ED except it's loli running.

The 5th grade team had a big improvement in teamwork and overall playing ability, they still lost but a chance of a comeback and a win with such a disparity in score is very low. Tomoka's fake out against Mimi was very nice as well as her blocking of Mimi's scoop shot.

Aoi had quite the misunderstanding about who Subaru was getting a present for, she thought it was her but it was obviously for Tomoka as it's her birthday.

Tomoka got the cutest ribbon for her birthday.

my heart melted


I would love to have Hina and Tomoka on my lap.

Subs finally up.

Tomoka's birthday party was funny and Aoi's misunderstanding was a face palm. Hopefully not to much time is spend on the 5th grade team. That would mean less time for Subaru and his lolis.
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?

I wonder more who is more dense, Subaru or Aoi?

Subaru is completely unable to tel that Aoi really likes him and that he should really repay her for doing him so many favors one day, but at the same time, Aoi should know by now that his loli harem, and Tomoka in particular, has captured his heart and that she may as well stop being in denial over it.

Nice team play in this episode, from both sides. At first, I thought Subaru had to coach both teams, but then they revealed it was Aoi, which will probably spice things up even more. Wouldn't it be funny if her team suddenly got a lot better than Subaru's?

And both Tomoka and Hinata were cute as always. Tomoka's embarrassment when they put her on Subaru's lap was golden.

Also, they're really setting up Tomoka to be Subaru's wife, with her mom making sure her daughter will become a good cook when she grows up.

I feel so bad for Aoi though i'm glad we'll see more of her in the future. We got ourselves a new basketball captain.
It's probably time for her to give up on Subaru, he is too into his loli harem by now.







Too much Moe. Happy birthday Tomoka!




Loved the episode, Tomoka and Subaru's moments are too adorable.

If the members of the fifth year team imrpove their teamwork even further, they will have a good chance against Subaru's team. I am looking forward to a really intense match now. The birthday scenes were adorable.

The lolis all remain adorable as all get out, and it wasn't some half-bad basketball action. I kinda was expecting the 2nd team to get drafted as benchwarmers or a JV team or something, but it looks like they'll go train on their own and come back for another "dojo challenge". I hope we see more of the B team, they're all adorable (especially the albino).

Y'know, as someone who actually plays and follows basketball, their form and play is very impossible: no one looks like that when they play basketball. Their defense looks bad, they telecast their offense by yelling the name of the person they're passing it to, and that scoop shot or floater is just asking to get blocked.

But y'know what? I don't care. Cute loli belly buttons show when they try to play basketball. That's enough to compensate.

A basketball as a present. How very creative.
Couldn't they at least choose one in a different color, so you can tell it apart from the other 5 million basketballs there? :|

Nice basketball match! With Aoi as their trainer the 5th graders will certainly get somewhere.

Oh poor Aoi, you totally misunderstood Subaru. If only he didn't just ignore you like that.

All that TomokaxSubaru! Loving it!~ <3 I'm not really fond of the 5th grade basketball team.. only the French girl isn't super annoying. Hopefully, they'll get less screen time as the series goes on~

Just GTFO already, Aoi. Please.

Yep, I'm convinced now. The whole world is doing everything in its power to get Subaru behind bars.

Tomoka blushes like the sun in mid sky when it comes to anything Subaru. It's just so adorable.

I'm confused, I read Mimi's profile and in the light novels she was supposed to be more skilled than Tomoka but it didn't seem like so.. even if her teamwork is terrible she should at least be winning the 1-on-1 duel instead of being stopped so easily by Tomoka

5/5

Not bad storytelling, the new characters are cute and well characterized, there is also what interests me, which is the technique.
Designed well, and even animated.
It is able to kill two birds with one stone with this episode. Loli nice for fans of the genre and the game of basketball for those looking for action.
In addition, when the load of fanservice to satisfy the most "difficult"! XD

This match was possibly the best thing from either season so far. A team of talented individuals with a great coach losing to the team who has practiced more and has better teamwork. Was the perfect way to go about it. If the 5th graders won just to show how great they and/or the dad is it would have been awful, but they handled it well and it's a good point to move on from going forward.

Don't like Aoi being the coach though, seems like it will give her more screen-time which is a shame.

For such a ragtag team they were able to score a decent amount of points.

Poor Aoi, she's losing steadily to Tomoka.
