Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| wow this show is cho-moe If I was a lolicon id probably enjoy this more. ~_~ |
| That was incredibly cute. This might just make me like sports. |
 |
| Updated player positions: |
| Tomoka is the SG??? I thought she will be the PG cause she knows the most about the game....but Saki can be good.... It will be interesting...i'm looking forward to the next ep....:D |
 "The other side of the other side of the other side would be the other side" |
| I actually sort of disagree on the positions, but Tomoka is listed as a point forward, being able to play multiple positions. That's why I said in an earlier post that she reminded me of LeBron James at first. |
| dem lolis. |

At least in the anime (I haven't read the manga so don't know what the story is there.) The bit with the boys waylaying Subaru there towards the end would support that. ninjaluc79 said: Updated player positions: Some of us are unfamiliar with basketball, so could you provide the actual position names instead of just initials? I personally can't figure all those out, I think PG is point guard, but I have no clue what SG would be as an example. |
| They made every girl in this anime lolis >_>. Just how old is Mihoshi (Subaru's aunt?) she looks like one of them cute lolis in the team lol. Hinata is my favorite so far, she is daring and extremely cute just like a doll. There is a lot of fan service in this huh... I don't even want to imagine what that sunflower scene will become when BD comes out uncensored. -.- |
 |
| Anyone else notice that, with Miho-nee's diary thing, Subaru's mother's voice, character-type and general lack of father; this guy just rubs me as one with an Oedipus Complex... |

Okay then: The Point Guard (PG) The Shooting Guard (SG) The Small Forward (SF) The Power Forward (PF) The Center (C) Hope this helps. |

| Really good first episode. Can't wait to see what happens next. Compared to Softenni's first episode, this series is better so far, and I loved Softenni. I have high hopes for this. |

| OH MY GOD!!!!!!! my body was not, HNNN-, no.....meme ish snuff can not show the SHEER AMAZINGLYNESS AWESOMELYNESS THAT IS THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!! IF I COULD RATE THIS HIGHER THAN 10, I WOULD. THIS, FOR ME, BLOWS EVERYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN OUT OF THE WATER. NO COMPARISONS. AUTOMATIC NUMBER 1 ANIME EVER! FAVOURITED, LIKED, TWEETED, REPOST AND COMMENTED. I FREAKING LOVE THIS SHOW. HINATA IS FREAKING ADORABLE. I JUST WANNA TAKE HER HOME. TAKE HER CLOTHES OFF. COVER HER IN BAR-B-QUE SAUCE. FORGET THE BAR-B-QUE SAUCE. AND CONTINUE TO TAKE HER CLOTHES OFF. guy character (named whatever) you are one lucky duckling, you must be bros with every god that has ever and will in future times exist(ed) i would sell my entire collected of bottlecaps, my shoes, my internet, and my nephew george just to be in your position, I WILL NOW REREREWATCH THIS EPISODE 12 MORE TIMES AND I PROBLY WILL STILL FEEL THE SAME TOWARDS THIS SERIES!!!!!1 |
 |
| i think im gonna like this anime. its a suitable replacement for Astarotte no Omocha! |
 |
| A lot of familiar voices... This show seems pretty interesting. It looks like it will actually have some plot and some semi-serious moments. |
ninjaluc79 said: Updated player positions: PG - Tomoka no doubt. She knows the game more than anyone. Also has the best ball handling on the team. Look at those dribbling. SG - Hinata cause if she learns how to shoot that's the only thing she needs and will do. She will be set-up by Tomoka anyway. SF- Maho PF - Saki (Both could be interchangeable) C - Airi without a question. |

| Well, let's just wait until the official site reveals their playing positions. For now, let's just update: @Hinata at SG O_O Will we be seeing a lot of pick-and-pops in this anime? But you know, there's something called "bench" in basketball. So far, I don't see any bench players on the team. Are they trying to pull off a "Dear Boys"? |

It does, quite a bit, thank you so much for all the information! ﾐ★(*^▽ﾟ)v Thanks!!★彡 cunt said: awwww hinata is so cute~ i can't ;A; tomoka was supposed to be my favorite... but hinata stole my heart at least in this first ep :) cute show Hinata is just cute beyond words. It's hard to explain why, but she's already my favorite by a long shot. Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ |
| Hinata remind me of CCS Tomoyo. I wonder why haha XD So cute! Hasegawa the name remind me of Madao!!!! |
| This anime is quite interesting but I think the girls are too small to play basketball (except for Airi) |
 |
thenube74 said: not much to say its pretty cute so far but i reeeeally hope they dont try to develop an actual romance between the girls and subaru. And i dont know why but i have a really weird feeling someones gonna die higarashi style O_O maho reminds me of nagi lol So anyone will not think otherwise there will not be any harem, romance, and death. |
 |
YEX said: This anime is quite interesting but I think the girls are too small to play basketball (except for Airi) It could be possible that they will use a "run-and-gun" strategy. And please note that they are still 6th graders, so they're considerably smaller than full-fledged female basketball players. |
| Kinda surprised that Kugimiya Rie isn't voicing one of these lolis. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| LOLILOLILOLILOLILOLILOLILOLILOLILOLILOLILOLILOLILOLILOLI!!! (props to you if you recognize the reference) Hinata is just too cute~~ can't get enough of her. |
Anitnelav said: Kinda surprised that Kugimiya Rie isn't voicing one of these lolis. Kugyuu's just finished Lotte no Omocha and Hidan no Aria's almost done (AFAIK), so prolly she's available for another "loli" project again, unless JC Staff wants her for Shana III, that is. |
| Since her "shot" came from half-court, it could not be impossible that Tomoka was actually setting up a play for somebody (I think it's Maho, judging from the way she called for a pass). However, it could be possible that Tomoka felt the pressure of the moment. Seeing somebody carrying the team all by herself, who would not be pressured? This reminds of somebody, but I really hope Tomoka is more clutch than Queen James. In a loli-type sports anime like this one, player positions may not matter, considering that they're portrayed as anything but Slam Dunk and Dear Boys. But please note that they're still grade schoolers, so it's not possible for them to play official games against say, high schoolers, so height isn't really much of a problem as long as the writers don't screw up by writing up 6-footers for their opponents (LOL). Obviously, the fans will kill them if they did. So don't worry, female grade school players shall have heights of under 180 cm (6-foot) It's like lowering the height standard by 1-2 feet. You can compare a say, 6-foot female pro, to a 4-foot female 6th grader. Tomoka is 142 cm, or 4-foot-7. This is comparable to a 6-foot-7 professional basketball player. And so on. This makes Airi, the only 5-footer in the team, comparable to a 7-footer in pro ball. |

| First scene, first thought: "Wow, that's a big head." xD Seems they managed to include all of the cliches. I'll keep watching for now, unless it gets too unbearably lolicon or something. 5/10 for now, don't expect it to get above a 6. |

| I might continue watching I'm not a fan of basketball (I hate it really... xD;; ) but I might watch since, it seems interesting //shot I like Airi and Hinata they're both cute.. Hinata reminds me of one of those porcelain dolls you find online for a high price xDD for now, I'll keep watching :I |
 |
| Looks like an interessting anime, I'll probably keep watching this one. |
| - I like the OP/ED. - Four minutes in and I'm dying of kawaii overload. :3 - Miho is awesome. - LOL @ the groping scene. - Avio laptop. |
| anyone think of miho-nee resembling shana? |
  |
| Hanazawa, KYA KYA! Though she doesn't fit the role. I'm not actually into lolis... So I didn't really enjoy this |

I THINK... 8D;; (even though it could be from other places so, I have no clue //shot) lolis + sport = ...mmmm... interesting.. they're all in 6th grade!?!?!?!?!? ... :I ...fffffffffff... ffff... they don't look like it to me.. OTL or maybe its because all the 6th graders around me already looked like 15 year olds when I was in middle school.. scary.. xD;; |

| I don't like the shooting arc... it's to flat to be swishes... I can accept the girls beating boys in the near future, as girls are physically stronger than boys at that age... Reading Basketball manga, playing basketball game, holding a ball, reading magazine... and... Drawing... Hinata is adorable. Overall... Cute show... Will give this show a few more episode... I doubt this show will have more basketball than Bamboo Blade having Kendo matches, as the focus is pretty much on the cute side. IceDraconian said: anyone think of miho-nee resembling shana? Nope, but she do remind me of Kamio Haruko of AIR. |

YEX said: This anime is quite interesting but I think the girls are too small to play basketball (except for Airi) They're apparently all in 6th grade, and given the age difference you get between Japan and US schools because of Japan's school season starting in spring vs. fall in the US, that makes them old enough that they'd be 7th graders in the US, which is middle school age. And most middle schools have girls and boys basketball teams. (Many elementary schools have some too, with the 4th-6th graders mostly.) So no, they're not too small to play, as long as they're playing against people around their same age. ヾ(´･ω･｀) ayeyosteven said: I like it, don't know why it's rated so low. I just hope it'll get better. People who hate loli stuff vote loli series down. Some do it unwatched. Some watch an episode, even though they know they'll hate it, and hate it and rate it a 1. It's rather an irrational way to act, if you don't like a genre then don't watch it. （￣～￣;） AirStyles said: I can accept the girls beating boys in the near future, as girls are physically stronger than boys at that age... I don't know about stronger, roughly equal maybe, since it's mostly the changes puberty brings on (in particular the changes to girls hips) that causes the relative strength differences. Prior to that boys and girls are roughly equal, with differences from individual to individual obviously. I think the boys' biggest issue is going to be that they're cocky little jerks, and so they aren't taking the girls seriously. Not taking your opponent seriously is a great way to lose in anything. （￣ー￣） |
