Hina's smile....can melt hearts I swear.


I am obviously cheering for Tomoka this episode and Airi. The girls looks cute in their cheerleader outfits I guess.

Go Subaru as well!

Friends chatting while the two talking, so messy. Mostly taking with Tomoka figured out how to win against that guy. lol @ girls wearing cheer girls during rematch. Even though tall girl had trouble practicing with her brother, who seems to be too strict, she has self confidence that she cannot run away. lol @ comparing tall girl's opponent with brother on fear, but it works. Tag with Tomoka works, and he wins for single, too, with his style. Rematch again one year later.

From the title, childhood girl as main?

I agree, and Aoi's embarrassment takes the cake. So cute, haha.

Finally some payback! Subaru's team totally owned them but I was hoping that there would be more of a challenge though...

If only I could get a loli to just stay over at my house that easily *sigh*

I don't think she's over them completely, I mean she was to able to recover herself and face off against that girl because compared to her bro, she really isn't all that intimidating. I want to know how she would act against an opponent that's her brothers size(Maybe even bigger), until then, I still believe she hasn't conquered her scared feelings.

If any basketball experts want to correct me here, please do so. But I'm pretty sure when Tomoka got in blonde dude's way and got mowed down, that's called a moving screen. So she fouled him and didn't stop him as she said. It looked like she just moved in his way, which is an illegal move. Again, someone correct if I'm wrong here.

You are correct. Tomoka did a blocking foul.

Another thing to note. Subaru's floaters are not floaters at all, just a underhand shot. Look at Derrick Rose and Rajon Rondo's floaters, because those are the true definition of floaters.

Well, it's actually a scoop shot. They actually say "scoop shot". It's whatever sub group you watched that labeled it a 'floater'.

Yeah, my subs said floaters. But normally, scoop shots are taken close or underneath the basket similar to a layup.

Nice episode 5/5 I liked how it took Takenaka to make Subaru realize his bad habit. And how they all grew, can't wait for i'm not doing so well let Hina stay at your house episode.

Yeah I guess it's a misunderstanding. You would think the author, animators, etc would have done more research on floaters and scoop shots when creating the past 2-3 episodes involving the shot but instead we get the underhand shot. It's probably not a big deal in Japan, considering how basketball isn't as popular as it is in the US and elsewhere. But as an American viewer, I kinda wished they would've watched Rose or Rondo's floaters. They should of used that for Subaru's floaters instead of what we've seen because to me it seems like he's finger-rolling the ball from a far distance.

Not like this is a serious sports series anyway so no sense in complaining about it. Besides, you know that any realism is gone when they put elementary/middle school girls and high school guys on the same court.

You know, Airi's kinda fadeaway shot was actually the most impressive thing.

Yeah its a work in progress, good episode. It seems the blond guy is a little nicer or at least not as serious.

The sleepover scene was pretty short...but it was definitely a nice shipping moment. Airi got over the problem pretty fast. Same with Subaru, once he realized what he needed to change he could perform 100%, kind of a stretch, but hey, it is anime after all. A nice ep 4/5.

Seriously, why are they getting flustered? They're a high- and elementary schooler for goodness sakes! The produces aren't even trying to hide the lolicon subtext are they?

Anyway, the match was nice. Subaru found out his style of play and Airi became a little less scared.

Quite a lot of corny and cheesy moments in this episode, but I always love those romantic undertone, especially Subaru x Tomoka.

4/5

Perhaps the worst thing is that it all goes without too much emotion during the narration. For the rest, the plot moves smoothly yet quickly.
Drawings dropped a bit in the meantime. A bit of space we wanted to Airi, as it takes for the other, just to deepen their characterization.
Curious to find out what will be the next challenge! ^ _ ^
