Oh my, the fan service. Onsen and bath scenes.

As expected, Misaki looks hot in her outfit.


Somehow, Rika became relevant this episode and Asuka improved. Not bad for the match. If they keep at it like that, Asuka has a good chance of perhaps winning for her team.

SHINDO! SHINDO! SHINDO!
The battle between Misaki and Shindo did not disappoint. It's building up my hype for the battle in the Summer Tournament. I do kind of wish they had more intense BGM going on in the fight. Nice that they also explained the various terms like "low yo-yo" and "scissor turn". (Hurray for skipping Mashiro's match)


Onsen scene with Misaki in a ponytail!!! Kunahama is already on amicable terms with Takafuji after the onsen scene too.

A join training camp and a match.
Mashiro had it rough this episode the level in skill was obvious and the way she reacted when Misaki was wearing her outfit was funny.

And it seems Hinata has made a bad name with Ichinose.

The practice matches and the onsen fanservice were great in this episode. <3

That was a pretty exciting episode. Misaki in her outfit is hnng <3. The chibi art in this show remains freaking adorable too <3. And can't forget the onsen either. The matches were pretty thrilling to watch, spectacular, like watching a colorful air show. Loved it. Can't wait to see the future matches to come.

Well, looks like this show finally made the FC matches interesting with Misaki's match against Shindou. He's certainly very skilled, as you'd expect of the national champion, but I'm betting there's a lot more to his playing style than what he used in this fight. Hopefully we'll see that later on if they get to the summer tournament.

At least Rika became relevant in this episode. I thought they would use her as a running fanservice gag, but it's nice to see that she's somewhat more important than that.

The Flying Circus matches were entertaining. I'm kind of interested in seeing what Shindou can really do, since they mentioned he wasn't really going all out in his match. It was also nice to see Asuka improve a lot.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Great episode, I am increasingly excited about the anime, the plot is very good and I also liked the characters, Misaki was very well in their competition clothes and the Asuka's personality is somewhat hilarious also, still has the mysterious past the protagonist, I am very eager to continue watching anime and see more great disputes ..

My only thought or question is, what is the point of being a fighter? It seems that being fast is the way to go, and a fighter only has a chance if the faster one decides not to go for the buoys. From what I have seen it is a pointless class to have, because currently the anime hasn't shown why a fighter would have any sort of an advantage in a match.

Misaki scoring a point was what I wanted from the start, and all it took was some promised udon. Seems the air-kick turn will be Asuka's trademark.

''I scored a point! No udon? :(" - "Yes udon!".

I almost forgot that males can also take part in Flying Circus competition, I thought it was exclusive for females.

Misaki most likely would be the headspear of her school's FC team....if Masaya didn't suddenly become FC player again that is.

They should just be called the One Point Squad

I actually can't wait till the matches get heated later (and not as one sided as most of the face-offs are right now). The game is pretty interesting, hopefully they don't throw too many more foreign terms of movement in this game :P I wanna understand it

lmao it seems that way, I thought I missed an episode or someshit. The transition into the training camp was so sudden too.

They're not explaining this game very well... or maybe I'm just not interested enough to commit it to memory. Can someone answer this for me: Can you not score points by touching buoys if you're behind the other player? I understand from a tactical standpoint that if you're slower, you'll want to attempt to get ahead in the field to set up for a potential back tap. But it seem like you could avoid being completely shut out by tapping some buoys, especially if you also have trouble executing a back tap.

And then it seems like the buoys are arbitrary because apparently you can just go off in an all out dogfight and disregard the buoys completely... but then maybe that's just an aspect of the game: it can be either a race or a game of tag depending on who your opponent is?

I'm thinking too hard -___-

You can touch buoys but from technical standpoint it will be meaningless if you have less speed because other can keep racking point before you do. Intercepting player can have more potential of wining at that rate.

Also it's depending on opponent of what kind of play you will do. That's what Second is for to instruct the best way of beating your opponent either with power or speed.

That was really nice. Really liking Misaki.

Shindou's provocation was lol...Glad that she could show him she's not that much of a pushover.

Rika vs Asuka was nice too. I want them to put the difficulty of performing an air kick in context tho. Everyone keeps getting shocked. Why can Asuka do it?
Anyway loved Rika's moves. The Yoyo stuff and the zigzag was awesome.

Can't wait to see them progress. I'm looking forward to this series more. If only Hinata can be a member of the team :/

do not.
Shindou not has a route.
Shindou acts in the same way both in the main route as in the route of the girls.
the positive point and that they do not treat this as comic relief


Btw just wondering
is Shindou curiosity to Asuka also happened in VN?

Asuka finally learned the basics and showed some improvement and it's a good thing I guess, needs more Coachii though, Misaki on that FC outfit though deym, and finally Rika became relevant in this ep, those moves are just o_o

Finally came to the conclusion that if there's going to be no romance in this Anime it's not worth watching. I'd be better off playing the Game. Flying Circus really doesn't interest me at all, and Hinata is just a boring MC.

Only 2 reasons why I'm staying: 1. Rika Ichinose, 2. Misaki Tobisawa.

Also why would they just basically brush away Hinata catching Rika in her underwear? I figured they would be a huge part in her coming into this anime but it was just "Okay training camp is here' and here's Rika, let's have her have NO INTERACTION with Hinata at all."
I felt that was terrible on the writers there.

Who is the romance supposed to be between? It would be pretty normal to assume that it would be between Masaya and Kurashina, seeing as they are the 2 MC's but I haven't seen much to indicate any romance at all.
