Welp, it looks like they ramped up the difficulty. The semi-finals of this competition is no joke and characters like Kasahara knows it.

At least she's giving it her all.

Konomi's skills are just too powerful for the contestants. They ended up being pressured by her one attempt climbing. It'll be interesting on how the top girls will react to this and I'm worried that Konomi might fail for overexhausting herself in this contest (hope I don't jinx it).

Damn, can’t believe we’re halfway through the season already! Great episode. Konomi is on a literal climbing high. Like all sports anime though there’s gonna come a challenge she can’t solve, surely. Can’t wait for next week

Konomi is on fire. For someone who recently picked up climbing, she surpassed all expectations. That surely puts a lot of pressure on the other competitors. Especially that Ooba girl.

Konomi showing what she is capable of but maybe she is a bit to focused especially during her brakes she needs to learn when she needs to take it easy.
My guess is that next week she will reach a cap again this time from exhausting her thoughts, always thinking isn't such a bad thing but you can overdo it.

Tho it's nice that she put the ballet girl in place with her skill.
All the others learned that Konomi is a skilled person so they will keep her in mind in the next tournament.

This might be the best episode so far for me. Konomin skills are godlike for this situation while we had the other girl focusing more in Konomin than in her job and failed, such a good point.

Well... I love those people with this logic: I placed higher once than you so I can do it easy if you manage it already... It's the same logic like Team A beats Teams B, Team B won against C, so A is ez win against C... Hmm competitions don't work like that...just focus on your own game or thing.

But well it goes a little bit too smooth for her no doubt. Even with a mastermind, theory and practical are two different things. This is climbing and not chess hehe.

The semi finals have begun.

Konomi being the first of twenty people to climb, 1-shots three routes in a row. She's using her big brain to defeat her obstacles. Kinda curious of what's to come for Masumi judging by how this episode started.

Good episode :)

This is it! This is the moment that i already waiting for. The moment when Konomin surprises everyone, not just his rival, even the routesetter acknowledged her analytical ability to the max! The semifinal routes really become Konomin's favourite challenge. I am already predicted that where they announced the system for these challenge. And, yeah, its pretty much like i expect, she outnumberred the problems, and might easily survived until the last problems. Nice job, Konomin!

Well, one episode really couldn't finished these one stage alone. It took a lot of time than i expected before. Its kinda hold a slow pace so much, until i realized, it must be the time to get a closer progression development for a certain side characters. For the example, i got three girl climbers that had their own mind. I might feel bad with the chibi one, and the pressure really impacted much to the rest of the climber. That zombie girl surely had a lot of determination. But, she had a struggle to maintained the time. Well, not much i can talked about the pink haired one. She really deserved a humiliation part by Konomin. Lol. But still, There were so much climber left. I wonder what kind of mind they had against these routes that might be their graveyard too and really leaving a little survivor at the end. But i do hope Jun can be catch up to Konomin too. So, lets see their struggle to conquer the semifinal challenges in the next episode!

Shitt in-the-zone Konomi is scary. That's crazy she can send all of those in one go.

Next episode is titled "Failure of a Climber." I wonder who that is referring to? I'm thinking either blue-haired panther girl or Konomi. I can't wait for the next episode!

The talking point of this episode: "What did Masami RIP in the opening? Her panties or the toilet seat cover?"

Otherwise, the continuous episode of sorts, but Konomi's enthusiasm sure triumphs all other else, even if disregarding her ballet history. Let the semifinals begin, with even tougher problem-solving boulder climbing and Konomi gamer status, Ver. 2.0!

Being at the back of the pack, and 1-shotting the problems is a marvel in itself for the unusual rookie, and unknowingly creating pressure theough silencing her competitors (especially the ballet rival Ooba) with analytical skills that are unlike the norm.

Konomin is VERY IN-FOCUS, BUT PURE SACRILEGIOUS.

Next episode: "Failure of a Climber". Will Konomi face her first failure in a long while?

Well, as usual Konomi makes it.....to the semis

Too bad for Satou, despite of being a genius, she a bit too stupid for the elimination round, Niijima ain't making any progress, probably due to her having big boobs, cu'z they keep getting in the way. Oba ain't making any progress as well, maybe she should go back to ballet.

yoo this shit's so hype, the episode went by so fast and it felt like it 5 minutes. I'm honestly not a big fan of power fantasies and the main character being at a high level from the get-go, but I don't mind it here because seeing Konomi analyzing and sending the routes in one try is so much fun (also have to take into account that the manga is very short, so this will probably be the only season of this anime and there's not much time for slow development edit: wait, there's a sequel, nevermind. Well, as soon as the anime finishes, I'm certainly reading it!).
Really don't like the next episode's title, though, I really hope it's not about Konomi ;_;

Konomi is scary too scary! once she put in some serious training her analytic and ballet has sky rocketed her to op the quirkiness of these characters really have gone up from the start and Konomi getting so focused to the point of not noticing anything other than climbing had me thinkin of hanabado , it's most likely gonna kick her in the face when shes least expecting it at the rate shes going


though i have to say the story boarding for this show is sometimes bad it makes for some funny scenes like the bathroom at the start and the dramatic cuts to everyone shocked then it ends on the soundboard guys hands like what lol and the final shot before the ending

I have settled with the over-the-top characters. I'll just think that it's like a parody of every sports anime trope ever XD

Konomi's a bit worrying though. Is she on the zone? Is she gonna collapse on the last climb since she haven't been resting well within the intervals? Or nah, of course she gotta go on the finals since she's the OP rookie. Maybe the next episode's title refers to that panther girl, since we didn't see her after this episode's intro part?

That was a pretty great episode and probably my favorite episode so far. Damn, the semi's was made for Konomi. Plus she goes first, there's no pressure because of anyone else. She can focus her mind on the problem 100%.

Konomi might be OP now.. but she needed a lot of help at the start. They spent an episode training her body to get strength, because even if she knows how to climb, she can't climb if her body is weak. Then they also spent another episode, give her training to climb real rock - for some more experience. And lastly, she was also provided with climbing shoes. Put all those effort together + her ability to solve puzzles, and we have her current form now, which is strong. :)

Well, sure, but those are all things most of the other athletes should also have been doing, and at this point it's been only two months since she's started climbing, so to me it still feels too fast for her to be sending walls that should be hard even for the other veteran girls. But hey, it's not like I really mind it; like I said, it's pretty fun to see her just breezing through it all, though from the next episode's title it seems that her first real hurdle is coming soon.

Uh... I know Konomi loves games and all related to them but the "high concentration Konomin" transformation moment was a bit too much. The same with that Niijima girl going zombie mode. So much cringe xD

Anyways, that aside, it was another rather nice episode. I'm honestly glad to see the show is capable of handling more serious competitions and the atmosphere surrounding them in a satisfactory way. I felt as excited and entertained as in the previous episode so props to the studio.

Now on the other hand, Konomi is absolutely on fire right now but unfortunately, it was heavily hinted that she will eventually screw up for not relaxing during her breaks. Guess she will ended up exhausting herself mentally due to so much wall over-analysis.

I can feeeeeel that forced happy on Nono.
Not sure how I feel about Kono going this far with like no mistakes. It's kinda like... really? Like at this point every other character is more interesting to watch. And yeah, it definitely feels like she'll either burn out or something soon, but it's still kinda... eh... it's been a while of this, so it's kinda odd. Like, it's not just climbing, but it seems like she's just good a everything-- BUT, I also feel like that's going to be a big deal. It's as if she gets tired of everything she does or something perhaps? That might be the next thing, but we'll see.

We already knew Konomi had some incredible analytical skills but being able to one-shot these routes takes it to another level especially knowing she only started 2 months ago. Kinda makes me wonder why she did so poorly in academics.

We know konomi was a mega gamer beforehand and had to stop so she can focus on school. But seeing the fantasies, being the zone so much she's ignoring things after completing the route. Makes me think she'll have some sort of problem being an addict towards climbing too or something

as this was the highest ranked episode here i decided to watch it before i drop or continue. it certainly was more interesting but it couldnt get me "hooked" to be honest, the scan thing she does is just funny because of how dumb it looks. the music is good though.

but even though i cant seem to care about this i also want to continue and im half way through so might as well
