Is it just me or are they really pushing the training this episode?

While it makes a lot of sense, the show's pacing still feels sluggish imo. I think they are making progress though especially Wataru, the glasses guy with his jumps..

Very cool training episode. The effort of our team to get Sho joining the team was great.

That was a sweet moment there with the girl from the last episode :O

"Nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts..." I cracked up! Mizoguchi, you dork. x'D

Out of the 3 sports anime we have this season, this one is doing quite better than the other two so far, imo.

I knew the girl would appear again. It looks like a romance will start between her and Haru?

I like the boys in this series and I was actually hoping there would be no romance but I guess I'm asking for too much.

I love all these boys. I love them so much. I want them all to happy, I don't want to see anything bad happening to them, I want them all to reach all their dreams. This series warms my heart like no other this season.

Also,

Mizoguchi is a treasure and must be protected.

This episode was adorable. Mizoguchi was so cute and that interaction the girl had with Haru was rather adorable too. Though I too was hoping romance wasn't gonna be brought into this so I hope it's just a plot device for Haru and nothing more :I

Sho is such a dork for Risujiro omfreaking, that ending right before the preview was so cute LOL

Pacing is so on point and the sound track is really growing on me, it's perfect for this series. Also the comedic timing is great and despite Wataru being a purely comic relief character so far he's absolutely hilarious so at least hes serving his purpose well. Kinda feel with making the new guy have an obsession with that squirrel mascot they may start making the new members have super weird big quirks so we remember them better which I'm not a fan of it that's really the case.

Sho has questionable fashion, but lol at his obsession over Risujiro XD I do like how dorky these kids are. Glad to see him warm up to Boys Cheer Club after seeing how hard they were working. One can't hate those who are serious and work hard towards their goal. I wonder why he said he wouldn't do any stunts though?

Heh, I like that girl at the gym, she recognized Haru and approached him. Also really liking the character interactions, we get to know each of the characters bit by bit, such as how Souichirou seemed a bit rude (but like not on purpose) when he teased the other guys and also for leaving for his work so abruptly, but he still came back to help with the practice after work :)

Oh didn't expect her to be a romantic interest, thought she was just going to be the manager... nice to see her approach someone out of the blue. Even though she caught him doing something "embarrassing" before lol. xD

Also, definitely seeing the inspiration/modelling after SHOCKERS. Their name is even BREAKERS lol.

TON AND MIZOGUCHI I'M SO PROUD OF YOU TWO BOYS. <3
I mean, all of the boys did well, but these two especially make me feel happy. I love how they commit to change themselves even though they're not teenagers anymore.

Now where be those punks and that shota? :D

Okay, so we got the shy cutie( Haru), the charismatic cutie (Kazu), the socially awkward and adorkable cutie (Mizo), the plumpy cutie (Ton), the bishounen cutie (Hasegawa), the show off cuite ( Souichirou), and finally the squirrel mascot loving cutie(Shou). So much cuties, so much bromance XD

That's what cheer is about. I was on a team for several years and became Captain and we literally practiced every day and cheered at the occasional basketball/football game but when it came to Competition, it was non-stop training, especially as the date grew closer. We had 9 hour practices. In cheerleading, we focus on the big picture and put all our time toward it.

Yaaay the team is coming together! I'm waiting for the pink-haired shortie from the OP&ED to show up. Also, it looks like those 2 punks that Mizoguchi ran into in ep1 are gonna be on the team.

Haru's reaction faces to the girl is super cute <3 Mizoguchi is precious. "I will be the squirrel king!"<3

This show has been unexpectedly great so far. I love the OP & ED, super cheery and cute animation.
