| Great game. I was waiting for Agari to use forehand since the first serve. Really unfortunate, that she still lost. Kinda hoping Koyori loses to someone eventually, lol. She feels too unrelatable with a perfect win streak. I did, however, like how Koyori analyzes her opponents expression during games. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| oh what a surprise she won again using the same technique |
 |
| I knew that Koyori would win!!! Noone can beat her. Love how she simply plays the game because she loves it, damn :3 At least Agari grew. Hope that girl in the end, is a great player so that Koyori can teach her a lesson too xD |

| The episode title sums up my thoughts about the episode nicely. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| well surely koyori can beat top 4 so easy because their playstyle is quite dull in comparison with koyori who changes her style frequently based on her opponent's ability. and i got that feeling! rallying feels so good |

| So glad Koyori won, Agari was pissing me off. Kiruka next episode!!! <333 |

| I really want to hold out for this show, but this episode and the pacing so far has been terrible. Will push for episode 4 but will drop it right then and there if it doesn't get any better. |
| Excellent episode! I already expected that Koyori would still win against Agari! but it was still a great match! It's still a good thing that Agari prioritizes fun instead of pure winning! OMG I bet that long black hair girl on the last part is better than Koyori because she's the one who purely destroyed (clean 0-11 score) the Ace of another school that was showed on episode 1! With what smirk she made after apologizing on ep1, she looks like a villain to me! 5/5! |

| That game was so intense with the sweat and all the strong hits. |
 |
| Damn. Looked like these girls were about to have orgasms mid-match. haha Anyway, like a few others have said, I'm not a fan of Koyori joining and making it to the top so quickly. Something about it just irks me and I'm not sure exactly why. Essentially the same thing happened in Bamboo Blade when Tama joined the kendo club but it felt more believable in that story. |
 |
Yeah. They're always blushing and stuff. lol That was some intense Ping Pong action. |
| The attention whore Agari with her sense of false superiority was annoying as hell this episode. Glad she got taken down a peg. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| and just like that Agari became alot more likable just from getting beat like i was saying last ep not to mention full Tsundere now making her paring with Koyori that much cuter love how everyone has their own pair and looks like we finally get to see the black haired girl come next ep wonder how her play style will be like another amazing ep |
| "one step at a time" |
| That was amazing. Koyori climbs to the top in such a memorable way. Props to Agari, despite her strong desire to crush Kotori, she managed to find her reason to keep playing. But man those constant pulses were a bit annoying. Koyori's jumping smash was sick. I'm like are they allowed to jump like that. |
 |
| This girl is orgasming like every game haha... I never played a whole lot of pingpong myself, but i've done it before, and yeah rallying definitely feels better. I have played a decent amount of Badminton before, and my favourite thing was doing trick moves, where say i'd hold the racket dagger style and do a reverse smash where the end of the racket was over my elbow, meaning i had to curl right around, definitely loads of fun when you can keep the ball/birdie bouncing as opposed to it being on the floor and having to restart. There's an interesting satisfaction to contacting a moving object with a tool, and i guess that's why baseball also got so popular. My favourite thing is always 1-handing a bat, or even hitting something like a volleyball with a hockeystick, i had unusually excellent accuracy when hitting something with a stick as opposed to throwing it with my hand and could snipe moving targets with a batted ball (dodgeball anyone?). Random sports gush, i'm not much of an athlete and don't fancy mainstream sports. It sounded like Agari was saying she loved Koyori... ...these top quality subs  |

| So... hum... an exciting match? Yeah, sure, for the girls on the screen. To get again the same events sequence for the third time in 3 episodes is getting annoying (a lot more than a shônen nekketsu repeating itself from part to part). Not a fan at all of all those pleasure images and outbursts from the beginning, but this episode took the cake! It was becoming more unsettling than anything else (I can watch things worse than that, when there is a place for it). And of course, the girls undeveloped bodies end up covered in fluids, again. I don't like the "cute style" who has been trendy since the 90s end but I actually can't see how this is cute? This looks more trapped in a dubious imagery or gross than anything. Enjoyment: fluctuates between 1 and 4/5. It would help the matches to be better if they were sometimes able to hit somewhere else too. (how many times this episode was I expecting to see Akari send the ball in a net corner) @GenesisAria "I wubwub love it." ? Don't say me that it is a professional translation. It makes no sense at all. o_O |

| Aww, I wanted Agari to win. :( But it was to be expected. |
 |
| Playing ping pong is making them wet.. literally lol. How do they smash with a hand grabbing their chest I wonder. xD So in addition to her passion and adaptability.. Koyori is also a slow starter and burns up in the late game ehh. But her stamina though.. I'm curious how. Okay let's move on to the nationals tournament already ? The captain is coming back ehh. |
| Great episode! Their match was so cool! |
 |
| A very interesting episode. I could feel the intense battle between Agari and Koyori with the match as they poured their heart into it. I really love how they expressed their feelings about how much they love table tennis especially going through Agari's backstory. She really had this love for table tennis and it was her calling that she would be the one to enjoy the thrills and wonders of the sport. I'm glad that Koyori won but I was also happy that Agari had played her best and overcame her emotional doubt about what she had once lost back in her childhood. You could see the sweat, tears, and heartbeat that Koyori and Agari had felt when they were truly at their peak. I think Agari had finally realized that table tennis meant so much to her that she was busily preparing herself working day and night training every day in those years growing up. I'm very impressed how this series is keeping up with the amazing matches the girls have and next episode looks very interesting to see this new girl coming up. I like to see what she has in store for them. |
| I don't like Koyori; she's annoying and as far as I've seen, she's really uninteresting. Agari has at least been relatively interesting to follow. She has her thing to improve on and she's now ready to go for it. They did that relatively well and I thought that development was actually done pretty well enough. Panties chick is annoying too-- everything about her down to her character design. Hanabi is also annoying. The OP is actually kinda cute. |
| I'm enjoying watch this anime so far... but Koyori still annoys me... I think they shouldn't make her look so "bad" in the start of the matches... the opponent always open a large advantage, so, she throw her "I'm having so much fun" thing and, "bam!" wins the match o_õ I get... she is a strong player... but, even considering that she maybe is "analysing" the style of the other player at the start of the match, a "0 - 8" score is a little exageratted ^^' since she is really good at this, she should be able to score at least 2 or 3 points while analyze the opponent...^^' I can't help but have the sensation that she is a horrible player that accesses a "invincible mode" by getting happy, XD ... she sucks in the start... so have a "click" and suddenly go from "0 - 8" to "8 - 8" I'm hoping that the next matches wouldn't be like that |

| Not a bad episode. The series feels a bit lifeless in my opinion. Nothing too exciting to make it really stand out. But, all in all, it is a fairly enjoyable watch. |
 |
on 
| Quite a lovely episode I must say! Really loved the character development in this one. Let's see what's next. |
 |
| The Op and ED are a bit different here. Agari really likes to be number one. Well, too bad her strategy still has a weakness that Koyori can exploit. Also the things they are saying at the latter parts of the match feels like it's hentai. :p Team captain finally show up. Looking forward to the next episode. :) |
| Glad that is over Agari should be happy she have a girlfriend she is evenly matched with . And Koyori makes her heart flutter Awwwww she is in love,,YEEEES The lesbians are so cute |
 |
| Nice match, they're both really good, and that girl at the end definitely seems interesting |
 |
| That was an intense match. Koyori and Agari had so much fun. :) All that blushing was so cute again, hehe. |

| Damn i really dislike koyori expression at all and the story continue to be very lame, no backstory lack of explanation a girl that run very slow suddenly have a great stamina while playing a game, what the ? The story to predictable that koyori will just win till the end, boring |
| Me gusta el anime. |
