| So I checked the manga and saw something completely different from how the anime is doing this... why is the anime a depressing angsty overly dramatic type? the manga is more on the fluff fun cute chill side that still had that epic part when Ayano goes yandere mode. That being said that "need the handkerchief?" part was so damn satisfying! I want more Ayano!!!! |
  |
| God I hope Ayano stays like this and doesn't get some lame "redemption" arc. This show is already way too melodramatic so i hope they lean in to this savage Ayano more and more cause it is the best part of the show. |
| Ayano is a savage and might be my favorite female character this season. When she pulled out that Handkerchief after winning...OMFG #PWNED |

| Hanesaki looks pretty creepy and intense once she's playing in a match lol |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Ayano left all her chill in the locker room and has now turned to the dark side, this can only end well.. I'm sorry, you can try as you might show, but zero sympathy is forthcoming for pink haired. Karma is the word that springs to mind. Good ep. |
| It felt good when Ayano destroyed pink cunt. Animation stellar as always. |

_juno said: Wanna use it?  Well this is what you get for not respecting your opponent before the game. The thing is: Ayano is doing the same: "winning is the only thing that matters". How to be passive aggressive 101 |
| This episode....wow! It was more than obvious since the last episodes that this wasn't the same Ayano we know, her eyes...damn. I feel a little for Kaoruko but she deserved it xD So, i imagine that in the next episodes we will see Ayano fighting against Connie? It will probably happen in the last episodes. But for real, i haven't seen such an intense episode in a sports anime in a while, amazing! This face...this face, omg xD This is that "what now b***, who's the loser now?". Or maybe, "Wanna use it?" haha  |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| It seems reunited with her "little sister" is making Ayano turn back to how she was in middle school. I kind of like how cold and ruthless she is, even if she's becoming disrespectful. I can't wait for Nagisa or someone to knock her back into reality. As usual, the sound design and the music add immensely to the intensity of the fights. I could feel the tension rippling between Ayano and that pink-hair girl. Also, the cinematography really helped to emphasize how uncomfortable and stressed each character is. Can;t wait for the next episode. |

SNDT said: Can someone explain to me why the fuck anime about badminton is so depressing lol? isn't like all sports anime depressing to a certain extent? One team wins, the other loses. |
 |
| I seriously do not understand the point of telling the match through Kaoruko's POV and making the MC's personality complete shit. |
 |
| Kaoruko may talk big, but she knows how to analyze... So Kaoruko's grudge against Ayano was due to Ayano being the first one to beat her? Sounds identical to another character in Chihayafuru...except it was less grudgy... I LOVE IT! Kaoruko plays Badminton like a fighting game! Hey...that sensor thing that showed during Kaoruko's flashback...do those exist? What a convenient practice tool... BADMINTON IS LIFE! Yep. Ayano has definitely lost it... Well Kaoruko crying kind of killed it. Suck it up! Damn it! You could have at least said something like "You better not lose until I beat you!", or at least admit your faults for picking on her for so long! They better not set her aside for the rest of the series. She's the best character! Oh great, Nagisa vs. Nozomi. A match that I personally don't care about. Hurry up and win Nagisa... |

| Best match of the series. Ayano's deranged look was too over the top for me to take her seriously, but it made the match more enjoyable, so I don't have any complaint. That savage scene when she gives the handchief to Kaoruko after beating her was hilarious. I hope this is not the last we will see of Kaoruko too. She was an arrogant bitch, but an enjoyable one. Hopefully, this defeat will make her improve in the future. |
 |
| This show is way too emotional in a bad way... |
| felt good to see Ayano beat Kaoruko but thats one thing out of the way also im liking how Ayano is atm but already know her mom is still on her mind especially when she tied her hair just like her smh... i would love if she would just completely just forget her mom and move on but already know not gonna happen anyway great ep |
| "one step at a time" |
| Okay, I'm not with most of you here. It is true that Kaoruko is to blame maybe for Ayano's mother's departure, and that Kaoruko has been disrespectful to everyone. And with that, it could have been more satisfying for me if Ayano did not disrespect Kaoruko because it takes away the sportsmanship in her. Of course I know this is following the manga, but for me, if the script goes on in such a way that Kaoruko self destructs on her own and Ayano respecting her, then the victory could be sweeter to the audience, atleast to the audience like me. |
| I hope Im not the only confused by Hanesaki's personality shifts. On the court, shes very much a kuudere; cold hearted personality, gracefully godlike reflexes, and unforgiving about her natural talent. But then instantly off the court, her personality shifts to a rather normal highschool girl; complaining that she didnt want to join the club, seems a little ditzy, can be embarrassed, laughs with friends, has a moe voice |
~my listTheServant said: IKR? By the end of the series, I realized they were trying to make her a dynamic character, but it just didnt work out well. There's a wide difference between writing a dynamic character and just being wildly inconsistent.m-i-c-h-a-e-l said: I hope Im not the only confused by Hanesaki's personality shifts.

This anime clearly struggled with it. It succeed with some, but when it failed at something integral like protagonist's characterization, it does not matter how good everything else was. |
| nice LOL b*tch pink girl is the one that needs the handkerchief. |
| Damn, idk, but this thread really crowded. I guessed its because the supernatural thingy that Ayano had? Yeah, thats it. No, i think she was doping there. Poor my beloved pink haired girl must be battling with that monster. Damn! Still, the intensed moment really nice. The sudden pov to the pink one really good direction to justified all of the thought over her enemy. Damn, its great. The result shall be obvious, really. All that previous match only happened as a teasing. Now, all people got the baited and angry as hell to beast girl of badminton, Ayanon. Nice! Next, my tomboy girl Aragaki. Come on, girl! Destroy the shitty girl that crush my beloved megane girl mental! |

| Hahaha destroyed by Ayano, that's well deserved to be honest |
 |
| well thats what you get for being cocky but that was a pretty good match. Ayano is slowly changing into her past self. She'll get the same treatment sooner or later. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I love the new Ayano. This is definitely the first I've seen from a sports anime and I like it. What a new personality. If we keep the all anime long, I'll be one happy mother fucker. |
 |
| Another intense match. Ayano looks like a psycho. Her eyes are so creepy. |
 |
| Weird mode that Ayanon is in, she's kinda happy but kinda not? Also I thought her mom would appear after the match, guess not huh? |
| her mom is the main weirdo villain out of all this but i can't help but feel happy seeing Serigawa getting owned who kick started the incident. But i feel the persona is going to fall soon for our heroine .Wonder how will she handle it |
