A sudden match with the new character from France. The guy's father coming back and he's her coach. Not only that, she transferred to the group's school. So the twins are sisters of the guy who likes one of the girls. Also a girl who has family grudge on the megane girl sent a rumored photo. And that mini girl's tall younger sister to make a rival team. Though those these rivals are only on eyes on their own rivals. So that's why he called for his father for 5th graders' coach!!

Like father, like son, Subaru's father is also smooth as hell.

Mimi is a bit clumsy, but is just as good as Tomoka.

The 5th grade team is being pwned badly, understandable since they have no experience as a team prior to the match, but they did put up a good challenge.

Hahaha yeah man...It's like he's the VA of every cool Dad XD

Subaru finally realized how much of a lolicon people might view him to be XD

Mimi is KAWAII <3 (Tomoka is still the best though XD)
Loved her match against Tomoka :D

Let's see how Ginga will manage the team. Obviously they won't win but they'll probably form a challenge.

Well the 5th grade loli team just got assembled so they haven't polished their teamwork yet. Maybe Ginga-san will be able to help them work together. However, Tomoka's team have more experience so I'm pretty sure they would win.

.....

Eh, never mind. Still doesn't change the fact that I love both of these cute teams! <3

The 5th grader is surprisingly bad lol~ i guess you cant expect good teamwork from a "made on the spot" team. but i think Subaru's dad is gonna make life harder for the 6th grader. :) and man he looks like Akio from Clannad isn't he? the parents lovey-dovey scene reminds me of the Clannad parents xD

I can't wait for a serious competition between the 2 teams, i was surprised by how bad they were i thought Mimi was going to be the toughest thing ever, well whatever she wins for cuteness.
I love both teams, looking forward to next ep.

I love how polite Mimi is. She is one of my favs. from this series now. I am glad that Tomoka won. I didn't expect that since most of times, the new rival is the one who wins.

Hinata has rival(s) :p Natsuhi's harem is big. His sisters, Kagetsu, Masami, Hinata, Mimi and Maho xD Subaru has Aoi, Tomoka, Saki and Airi I guess.

Saki got the screentime she deserves. She is my fav and that's why, it is awesome. Masami just wants to be friends with Saki, doesn't she? :)

The new team was crushed! I liked that. It was original sort of.

Yeah apparently acquiring lolis runs in the family. Another good episode that leaves us wanting more. I have to say when a random girl just showed up in Subaru's yard I face palmed.

This episode was great! I got everything you would expect from Ro-Kyu-Bu; a nice Basketball match and a bunch of cute lolis. I like the new rival team especially Mimi and Masimi.

My thoughts when Subaru's father made his first appearence: ' Like father, like son'. Not only Basketball runs in the family.

Ah, now this is the Ro-Kyu-Bu! I remember! The OVA was a letdown with all the fanservice but that's what OVA's are for I guess. And the first episode also felt like a filler to me. But this episode brought it all back!
Looking forward to the next episode.

I guess we now know why Subaru is a loli magnet: his father seems to be quite attractive to the little ladies as well. :)

Saki called a good bluff on Sasami. And it's nice to know that Subaru understands that he'd be in big trouble if his relationship to the girls becomes anything more than their sports coach.

Pretty sure it's China. The dresses they wear are a dead giveaway.

Okay, I have to praise this episode for two reasons. One, Saki handled that situation perfectly, someone actually warning another person of a possible misunderstanding before it happens? Not exactly a forte of anime (and fictional) characters to say the least.

The second strong point being the enemy team. They are not ridiculously strong and they are actually disorganized. In the next episode we could see some serious improvements due to Ginga, I'm curious how this will be handled. More well thought-out episode please! 5/5.

They are actually wearing Vietnamese traditional outfits called Áo Dài. We always have women wearing those with straw conical hats for our tourism PR campaigns.

I definitely agree. It's nice to see that shounen trope subverted sometimes. The opposing team could definitely be a threat down the line but the teamwork and discipline the girls developed in season 1 would be very tough for an amateur team, with very little chemistry at that, to beat.

This was a very strong episode. As a matter fact, this show has been on a roll ever since the OVA, which was awesome.

When Mimi appeared at the start, I thought she was going to go all Aomine Daiki on Tomoka's ass. I'm curious to see if Subaru's dad will significantly help with the coordination of the new 5th year team.

An ok episode although I had to check the time frequently.

I did not expect such generosity, but better enjoy it while it lasts. The plot will evolve into something decent, after this event? I hope so. * _ *
Narratively better than the previous, the challenge Mokkan between Mimi and I liked it, it was not the usual obvious challenge in which he won the stranger just arrived and super badass!
Cute design, the new characters are cute quente the protagonists and there is so much of that goodness to come get you diabetes! XD
I hope there are more games and with so much technique on display! : D
