The matches went too fast. And the probabilities representation would have been better used more sparingly (it cut the movement so often).

Anyway, it's still nice to watch table tennis in an anime form. (usually, I dislike the sport but am moved by the characters and/or "story", here I have no interest in them and I actually find the drawing style ugly but the sport does the job).

3/5 Imagining the same without the supposed "cuteness" of the girls makes me regret its style, but it's not stylized to the point of hiding the sweat.

I'll be really sad for Agari if she doesn't win.

I agree with the posters above, it is a bit cruel for Koyori to just come in and crush everyone while smiling. We know she has bad stamina (when running at least) and while it was made clear that Agari worked really hard, the same was never implied about Koyori. So it'd feel bad to me if Agari lost. ;;

Hokuto is best girl.

When she said "pink" in the first episode, she guessed Koyori underwear. Such a nice skill!

Btw, Did someone notice the ball?
It says "Maid" instead of Made. Any reference?

The only thing I noticed here was that you paused right when the ball was over that girl's head. So I thought she had a ball for a head when I opened the picture before reading what you said. Opps.

The matches look pretty good, I wish they were longer.
I will always support the hard worker over the natural talent, go Agari!

Hokuto is cute and best imo was nice to see more of her and her play style on the other hand im really hoping Koyori beats Agari cause seriously its ok she wanna stay ace and all but i really didnt like how she just became so jealous of Koyori like that cause it really just seems Agari just wants all attention on her and thinks she's just the best and no one can beat her which is silly so her losing will have a huge impact on her and of course make her stronger

but anyway this is why i love sport series cause the matches are always so amazing to watch

OP & Hokuto match had some nice animation. Music really didnt fit, should really pair OP with their techno rock or similar.
ED this Nichijou feel.
Been predictable so far Koyori on winning streak. Agari could be a surprise. She's very salty, but at least keeps to herself, interesting internal portrayal of a top player's insecurity, kinda rare in sol sports.

"Maid in Japan" was probably mistake on their part lol.
Ehhh... hmm so Koyori's forte is her adaptability to any kind of game ?
I don't see how her lack of stamina and what not could cope with just spirit alone but oh well it's anime.
Hokuto definitely has the best skill.. wish I could read girls' panties like shes does.

This was a very good episode. I can see why this series is so interesting and to think that table tennis could be so much invigorating. Koyori was really amazing competing with Hokuto during their match. I like how they were showing the trajectory and angle of Hokuto's moves while they were playing. I'm not sure how she has this skill about finding what pantsu that Koyori was wearing at the time. Anyway, I'm impressed as to how Koyori climbed up through the ranks so easily and she really loves table tennis very much.

I kind of feel sorry for Agari as her role as an ace is falling apart. I can understand it can be frustrating since she worked so hard to become what she is now. But maybe Agari should have at least tried to talk things out with her. I know she has to be the best and do everything in her power to keep her rank from falling below.

I'm looking forward to the next episode and see how the battle between Agari and Koyori will fare out! :)

Koyori defeating the top players one by one. Good thing they don't hate her for it, and instead they become friends.

Hokuto's pantsu ability is hilarious.

Two more victories for Koyori. Agaki is getting nervous because Koyori seems to be unstoppable.
