That was a cool episode. I guess the last few episodes will be about the Kanto tournament now.

I loved this episode, Tama was cute as ever (though I didn't like her with the different hairstyle it made her look way too childish and when the other girl was holding her hand they looked like mother and daughter rather than friends).
Saya x Kirino ftw!!!!!

Rin is Tama's rival and that Carrie blondie's gonna be MiyaMiya's. But wait, is Rin also doing kendo?

This was another nice episode. It's fun to see Tama and Rin being nerds. XD BRAVER vs. SHINAIDA!! And it's always nice to see Saya getting along with Kirino. I <3 all 5 members of the kendo team.

Tamaki and Rin sure love their tokusatsu and that's cute but I'd rather see more Muroe High vs Machido High practice matches.

My favorite scene? Kirino getting recognition from Sayako for being the real driving force behind the club. She totally deserves the props.

Rin better not be the one person that beats Tama. That would suck big time even if it's to teach Tama what it's like to lose.

Same as me. "What's this atmosphere? Get me a freshner!" XD

Carry dropping in to correct her name was great too, I had totally forgoten her name wasn't Mary too.

Eh, like I said before, if there's going to be any "beating" of Tama, it better be done quickly. It's not like we have many episodes left.

...but it would be revenge for Braver beating Shinaider all those times. Or something.

Haha, Tama and Rin staying up all night watching Braver scenes was gold.

Sayako was wearing a BAMBOO BLADE t-shirt! Awesome. And when Dan-kun said "Adios. But that's Spanish" or something along those lines, I was laughing. Good episode.

"Well, then I will do it!"
The director was so awesome xD

The litle fightscene between Tama-chan and Rin was awesome too...
And the comparison between Braver - Tama and Schneider - Rin was very well made.
"Braver can't lose...and that is why Schneider is stronger than him, because he loosed many times before..."

I'm looking forward to the tournament :D

Awesome episode, talk about tama's dream come true, getting to be in the movie and all. I just knew she'd get carried away at some point and start swinging a shinai around. xD

I didn't expect this episode would end up bringing about the next big kendo rival. Ishibashi has said several times already that Tama needs to be defeated at least once and I can't see anybody more fitting to do so than Rin. They're like 2 sides of the same coin and would make for a great rivalry.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

Great episode.
So Rin will actually be Tama's opponent, I just hope she isn't the person that will defeat Tama (kind of think it would be cool if Tama was undefeated, until the end of the anime).

It's entertaining and all, but I'm starting to become sort of annoyed that so many episodes are focused on Tama. She's okay, but there are other characters too, you know.

Shinaider will never die!


This show is such a tease, it sets up pretty interesting stakes, but by this point I only expect it to underdeliver, which is really bad. Using Kendo matches to settle scores with opponents(no pun intended) is a great idea - if the match execution wasn't a complete joke most of the time. Oh yeah, and let's not forget how unlikely it actually is to meet the person you wish to fight in a Kendo tournament, especially in singles.


I hope that the manga will go a bit beyond this show's ending.

A rival this late in the series... I'm curios to see how their showdown will go. Shinaider vs. Braver; Rin vs. Tama. It should be entertaining.

What a great friendship rivalry (frenemies doesn't sound right) that has been forged.
