| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode was really strange and funny at the same time. I liked the Saya in the fountain part just because of how cheesy the music was. The next episode preview was so bad lol |
  |
| I'm a little disappointed that Tama didn't annihilate that evil girl. I guess she's pretty ripped up already, but, you know, sometimes I'm vicious. ;) At first I thought they were going to give Kirino the chance to shine... but then they lost. I guess it just wasn't their day. ...But where did sensei get the money for ramen all of a sudden? ;) |
  |
| The tournament ended up being somewhat anticlimaxic, but not actually bad. I didn't see it comming that Kirino's brother would come and ruin her turbo-mode o.o Saya's moments were great as usual, though I wished the song had vocals too. And I always lol when that cat appears XD Dan-kun is always surprising, I was really expecting something awfull o.O |
 |
| They lost D: but great episode. Saya was pure win this episode. I loved the fountain part. |
 |
| Saya won this episode :p |

You go into the episode with that "they won !" mood, then BAM, they lose. In a very anticlimactic way that was executed so well it was kinda funny. All in all, a pretty okay episode. |
 |
| Did her neighbors really not care that she was playing all night? |
 |
| Didn't they have to win this tournament so sensei could keep his job? I guess since he sort of made that up himself, it might not matter in the end. And Tama's dad standing in front of the TV... that happened to me so many times.

_k1_ said: Hehe, yes. Apparently someone didn't catch on to the old-school cartoon's way of representing annoyed neighbors at night.Netforce said: I thought that's why the lights in her buidling were on?Did her neighbors really not care that she was playing all night? And yes, I think he made all that up. He only thought that if his club won he would look like an awesome sensei hence the school wouldn't lay him off. |

Thousand-Eyes said: Dan-kun also has much more potential than Yuuji does for kendo. So, he not only has a hot chick, draws well and is on the top of the test scores list. He's also a potential great practicioner of Kendo. So yeah, little guy is quite talented and lucky.I enjoyed this episode. Saya was hilarious. The whole scene with her just launching herself into the water fountain and then seeing the reactions of Kirino, Azuma and Tama was classic. Great stuff. Also, what is up with Dan-kun? Haha. First he has Miya, second he's able to draw so good. Funny stuff. |

I dont think that that was the tournament they had to win... I'd have go back to that ep to be sure, but I think he was reffering to a bigger one. |

Yeah, right, I think they were talking about a national tournament or something, and this one was only the district tournament. Still, I thought that the girls had to win this little tournament to qualify for the national one, but I'm not too sure though. |

| I thought the irony of Kirino's situation was hilarious, relief is her kryptonite. All around enjoyable episode, I can always count on this show to put a smile on my face. |
 |
| Haha, very nice episode. This episode wasn't overly hilarious but rather heart-warming, I enjoyed it. Kirino is awesome. :3 |

| Awesome episode, it showed again why I like Saya so much xD She reminds me of myself, without boobs and guitar xD Can't wait for more |
     |
| Omg! Saya had me crying with laughter! Running all slow-mo and stuff. |

| real confused as to how theyre gonna win the nationals now if they lost this one... really they shoulda just let tama keep going since that other girl wouldnt have been able to continue anyways. |
| This was another great episode. Saya's dive for her sheet music was hilarious. Dan has got some serious drawing skills. He ought to draw pics for everyone in the club. I think it was a good call on Kojiro's part to take Tama out of the match. It shows he doesn't have a win-all attitude and really cares about his students. Tama didn't realize it but that first thrust practically destroyed her opponent. Keeping her there when she wasn't thinking clearly could have resulted in the other girl getting a serious injury. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| At least Saya didn't break the guitar strings with one note this time.... and LOL! at the slow mo fountain scene... That was hilarious >.< |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Pffft, Tama-chan would have easily won the match even with her bad foot. |
| is there a real song sang by anyone? I'm talking about the song Saya wrote, if there is, someone send me a message please please :P |
| loved Tama's father at the end :) Zig-sama said: Pffft, Tama-chan would have easily won the match even with her bad foot. winning would have been bad for her in that case, the teacher didn't call off the match just because of her foot, he also called it off because Tama was losing control and acting in a reckless and dangerous manor that might have seriously injured her opponent. |
| that was so funny I laughed so hard as Dan kun put out his Miya Miya picture and the scene afterwards |

| That Slow-Mo - Fountain-Diving - Part was really strange. |
| I love Saya. I also really love Tama and her father's relationship. They're making this show for me. |
| They lost but Konishi will forever have Tama-trauma. Saya FTW. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| A bit sad they lost but in general it was a nice episode! |
 |
xchee said: They lost but Konishi will forever have Tama-trauma. Saya FTW. Ha ha! Yeah, I wasn't too bummed out about the lost. I felt that they won something far more valuable than the preliminary tournament. Konishi will continue to live with the guilt behind all her "victories". I feel so bad for Saya! She worked so hard on that song, but I couldn't help but laugh at the slow-mo bit! The song itself sounded awfully familiar. I could almost sworn I heard it from another anime. Tama & Kirino's family moments warmed me up inside. :) Eiga's drawing was nice, but seriously... Wouldn't it be better for Miyako to post that portrait up in her room or something? |
| poor Tama, got rekt by her own team and sensei. I guess we saw it coming when he couldn't believe the rumors 2 episodes ago. What a failure. |
| As I thought, he forfeited... which wouldn't have been bad if Kirino's brother didn't show up and ruin it for her as well. Kind of an unstatisfying episode, one of the worst in this show so far. Oh well, the next one will be better again. |
| That ending was adorable. Good ol' Tama, caring about her father. Makes me tear up inside. That music video for Saya's song was pretty hilarious. Accompanying vocals would have completed it. |

Funny, I thought those were the prelims that would get them into the Nationals. I could shrug it off in that maybe the manga plot was setting up a re-match for next year, but I'm not sure how Kojiro will keep his job by then if they lost now. The fact they're not making a big deal about Kojiro's job being on the line, only deepens my confusion. |
