Mm, more competition and more rivals.

That Anne girl is someone to keep an eye on. I can hardly take Iwamine seriously though with those bunny ears. Nonoka has a source of confidence that I find kinda admirable.

I fucking love this show. I had never had any interest or experience with climbing before other than passing by the climbing wall at my gym. This show really makes me want to go out and try it and at the end of the day, that’s one of the most powerful things an anime can do, motivate you to change your life.

The girls acted tough with Konomin initially but only to make sure she was committed and willing to join. Paid off in the end, can’t wait to see where this goes. Some of the best character designs I’ve ever seen as well 🤤

I really liked how the main mc didn't just do it first time, and instead is actually learning and growing into the sport. Which I think is a nice touch.

Well looks like Konomi got some unwanted attention and it also looks like a rotten apple made it's way to the tournament.
And it spread it's toxins, Konomi listening to that girl wasn't a good thing but hopefully she learned something.

As for the event it looked nice and the club members are better than expected.
So we might see some good results.

Even though Konomi wasn't able to reach the finals, she was still able to get valuable experience.

Rival characters are basically sports anime at business as usual, most of them are animal theme!

Also, my favorite character still doesn't appear in this episode, I've to keep watching until 'he' appear...

It's climbing time where we watch Konomi attempt to complete rock climbing courses

Learning how to know your capacity is important and comparing yourself to a person way more experienced will be your downfall. Well all experiences will teach you an important lesson to better yourself next time.

Good episode :)

This anime isnt the greatest but man, i prefer to watch this and learn something interesting instead of watching trash. I feel like if i was watching a documental.

Out of jokes, maybe someday in the future I'll try climbing haha

Loved how she failed, it gives a better message.

While I am enjoying this anime so far, there's one aspect that is sorely missing that's holding this show back. It's the animation. The visuals looks fine to me but the animation during the "rock climbing" part sucks. It's just a bunch of still-frames and because of that, I find it hard to actually get hype whenever they're climbing. Such a shame because this show could be a lot better but.......I just can't overlook that animation. It's like a sore thumb and it's very hard to ignore.


3/5 Episode's fine and I did enjoy it. I just wish the animation was better.

As someone who actually did a few rock-climbing activities back in high school, it's harder than it looks. I think one of the characters said that during the previous episode but it's true. You need strength and most importantly, stamina to actually climb one. I remember climbing one on my 4th attempt and I was fucking dead at the top. I did cross-country and I lift, which helped but it was still hard :/.

Good luck though if you really want to participate in rock-climbing.

This episode was okay and the only thing that happened here was the introduction of new rivals in the sports rock climbing arena. Konomi gained some valuable experience by participating in the competition.

Took the words right outta my mouth. I was really hoping she wouldn’t be this over powered character who could do everything first try. It’s nice to see characters grow and develop overtime :)

Yo, actually Nono senpai, and Buchou were a popular and very talented climber. They even success reaching the winner podium by themself? I am surprised by that information, and their decision to accepted Konomi just hilariously crazy. They surely knew the power of the MC. Lol. Well, at least their motives to recruit people was clear, to tried winning group division. And yeah, they did it!

The determination of Konomi kinda strong on these one, even though the result was not so surprising. He got manipulation at her first try! However, since this is her first official tournament, no way she could overcome the experience climber in one day only. So, yeah, this episode kinda realistic to me, kinda. What else? Ah, yes, she already attracted some maniac coming over his pure intentions. Damn those twos, and their interaction at the end, surely funny. Haha!

Well, more girl climber already introduced. That idol, tho. The hell? XD Spider climber, panther climber, ballerina climber? And many more! By the pacing style of these one, its no doubt that they might've ended up their journey at National competition, as their wish. So, lets see how well the progression of the team. That end style, tho. XD these girls just amused so much. Nice!

This show is growing on me. We got our first tournament taste in this series, with Konomi already getting nervous as a newbie will normally do. Sights are high, as Nonoka and Sayo are already doing well for themselves. But as Konomin as about to debut her climbing skills, we get a fellow player called Akane. Don't get caught by her purry ways, she can actually scratch you from the back. And Konomi took the bait which cost her first try.

Jun gave her an advice to trust herself and not others if she wish to win. Konomi regaining her drive tries to win for the second time but (in a sports anime) she actually fails. That was a something but just like they say. You don't succeed overnight, it takes some painful trial & error to gain something. And with that, her love of climbing has finally been cemented. With the whole team eyeing for the Nationals. I finally love this anime and I'm hoping for the team to take that chicken dinner at the end!

Now if you wish to move on from here, don't read beyond this point! Seriously.

That catpun girl was just horrible, but I think we're gonna see a whole lot of her. I have the feeling she will become the closest rival for Konomi.

Konomi was a bit of a fool to listen to an outsider, but managed to compose herself again in her second climb. Too bad she didn't finish her second climb either, but she made good progress for just her second climb.

"Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner", well Konomi is a gamer to the core. I loved that part XD

Good episode, I definitely enjoyed that better than the first episode probably because the characters has already established themselves. And I am all about good and entertaining characters.

Akane is a bitch though, she puts cat girls name to shame. She doesn't deserve to use those cat puns lmao. Iwamine you better punish her right.

Konomi really do be representing the gamers in here, let's get them chicken dinner girls.

The show isn't necessarily entertaining or oozing good visuals, and the character interactions are mediocre but I do admire the dedication in showing the lessons and learning of rock climbing to have some somewhat organic development of skills in a weird way.

How awful! I can't believe that girl pretend to be friendly to Konomi. That jealousy doesn't look good to that wannabe kitten. Not liking to see the others rise before her is a bad sign. Never trust your rivals! >-> At least Jun knew that girl is trouble. I really don't wanna know what that spider girl is going to do with that kitten thought XD

I wonder why the pop idols are included in climbing... it made me cringe a little. And a ballerina?? How does that even work? XD

Konomi did great for her first tornament. I want to see her progress at climbing from now on and can't wait for next week :)
