So much teases this episode. The animal ears and comedy....ha

Hokuto stood out a lot imo this episode mostly for her personality which I hope the show will further develop. The captain is no joke though. What a boss. Agari might be the only legit threat against her at the moment.

Seeing Agari in a bunny outfit made this episode more than worth it and after that we got a cat ear girls harem, great service indeed.
Anyway it seems that a captain is strong indeed the question is will she be able to win from Agari and Koyomi.

I really don't want to wait another week... The next episode should be intense... The captain is really good though, hopefully they won't disappoint.

Nowhere near as great as the first three episodes. Not fond of the captain.

Also not much table tennis action. I hope, we'll get more of this next episode.

Good episode, Well it wasn't as intense as the previous episodes but it was kind of build up for the next episode.
Looks like Agari is back on top of the rankings, She and Koyori now have a 7-7 score.

I like the Captain, I approve of her penalty games. XD
The way she interacted with Koyori reminded me so much of how Chika used to interact with Ruby in the beginning of LL:Sunshine. xD
Bunny and Maid Agari were so cute.

The Captain was pretty boss though, Straight out wrecked through everyone on the team except for the top 2. Even Hokuto, Munemune and Hanabi couldn't touch her.

It was pretty cool of Agari to declare that they were gonna make the nationals this time, Strong resolve coming out from her.
Looking forward to Agari and Koyori taking on the captain next episode, Should be awesome. I liked what I saw in the PV.

the title cards they used were unexpected but absolutely appreciated also I think it was just me but if you listen to it carefully whenever they go to commercial it sounds oddly similar to anne happy not exactly but I think it had something to do with the instruments they used or the way it was composed because it just sounds to similar to anne happy which immediately gave me bad vibes. coincidence? or simply me hallucinating? You decide. as for the episode did not think kiruka was the captain I somehow thought it was munemune. I have to say though the fact that she makes the losers cosplay already makes her one of my favorite characters in the anime. WTH was with the music during the lottery drawing I guess I should say opponent drawing but whatever the music just felt off but it was kind of funny at the same time I know it got better as the match continued but the beginning is just a little odd.

Koyuki might be in trouble with 5 points limit, she usually need 6-7 to pick up oponent tactic, all hope in Agari, nice to see she and Koyuki switch between 1st and 2nd place, wonder what is thing she is lacking?

Not much happening this episode, but I'm looking forward to the next one. Since Koyori is supposedly "lacking" something I'm curious if the captain's gonna help her find it (whatever it is, maybe a unique playstyle instead of adapting and countering? Idk).

Also regarding the preview for next episode:

This was a rather less exciting episode since there wasn't much table tennis action. The comedy fell flat consistently here. But I never had much hopes for the comedy part anyway.

Agari is improving and is probably starting to do things other than her loop drive backhand smash thing because I think that's the only way to counter Koyori i.e do something else. The captain shows up and she's got skills. She and Agari were always switching between the first and second spots. And her style employs the backspin. Backspin isn't really as dangerous as they're making it out to be especially since you can see it coming easily because the chopping action is so obvious. Just look at that racket and you can tell a backspin's coming your way and adjust accordingly. Her deadliness is probably because of the amount of backspin. Just like how Agari's is due to her immense topspin. And topspin counters backspin easily so she's going to win against the captain. And since Koyori specializes in countering everything, she's going to win too. I just hope there aren't many still frames next week.

Koyori is probably missing a goal as she's only in the game for fun. Agari is full blown determined to be the best so she's doing extra practice unlike Koyori who isn't, so Agari might eventually get better but it wouldn't matter much to Koyori since she'll still be having fun even if she loses. She'll get better eventually though, but not at the same speed as Agari. Technique-wise, Koyori's perfect I guess since she can counter any style, defensive or offensive. She doesn't have a set style which is the best in this game I guess.

Ehh idk, wasn't as good as the first three eps. Too much forced comedy that doesn't really hit home very well, and what little table tennis action there was was packed to the brim with clichés instead

Hilarious! Very funny narration, about the large dose of cuteness profuse in the story from the characters. In addition to the very moe designs, even the OST has made a great contribution, about its fresh and lively sounds.

There was too much comedy this episode and the comedy in stuff like that always feel really lame. The fact that the captain pretty much BTFO everyone was great. I just hope that it won't be another lose to tails.

I knew it! as being the Captain of Table tennis club she's gonna be a whole different level of player! 1 vs 20 in which they could beat her given 5 tries! Damn!
Even MuneMune, Hanabi, and Hokuto couldn't even score 1 point out of 5 tries!
Can't wait for the battle between Agari especially our MC Koyori!
Judging from the preview, seems like even the captain would struggle a bit against Koyori! I'm hyped-up!
5/5!

The captain is annoyingly perverse, her intro scene makes her appear inhuman and her behavior with her club comrades is bad. All that makes a strongly bad first impression.

2/5 Hopefully, next eps will have more sport and less (bad taste) comedy

I feel like I'm being pandered to, and I'm loving it.

I am what's wrong with anime.

All in all, a good episode. I like the captain a lot more than I expected. Having seen a bit of her in episode one I feel like she could've been a typical cruel yet skilled player, but she seems a lot nicer atm.

When you get bored of having too many neko girls lol

I really wanted to see Hokuto vs Kiruka. They put this pretty catchy background song for the match and it ends up being a squash match. Well I guess it's better to have Kiruka dominate and show why she's the real deal.

I thought it was a good episode. Having the Captain to be that powerful against all of the girls was really amazing to see. I'm surprised how well she was able to handle MuneMune, Hanabi, and Hokuto that quickly without a problem. Her technique was very impressive. The girls wearing cat ears was really a sight to see. :D I have to agree with the bunny outfit and the maid outfit really look fantastic on Agari with that image. Hehe.

I liked how Agari meant what she said about going to the Nationals and how she's very determined to see it through to getting there. I think that's what it takes to have that resolve and hopefully it'll work out for the team. Next episode looks very interesting with the match between Agari and the Captain! :)
