And this ep we have:
~Nagumo flashbacks.
~Nagumo drama.
~Low-key comedy.
~Friendship.
~And close ups of Nagumo's thicc eyebrows.

As to that last one: I'm sure if I wait around long enough, it'll turn out someone has a fetish for that

I'd be surprise with that one xD

I love how Towa helped Nagumo with giving her a black belt as a means to give Nagumo confidence.

Like Towa, Nagumo doesn't wanna have regrets. Man, I LOVE this show....

Club transfer

The character actually straight up & sincerely said why they want to do something so drastic out of nowhere. And it's the character with a tsundere streak, which is even more prone to creating misunderstandings that would normally take multiple episodes to be set straight.

And I really don't see how following the usual formula with a three episode long misunderstanding would've enhanced this character's development.

Concise & impactful. Nicely done!

that all depends on so many factors though. firstly, anime adaptions and manga/ln are totally different. often times many of the best parts are sliced off. secondly, there's the budgeting. depending on how many episodes there are the parsing of a specific event might have a slower or faster rise and fall so they have no choice to pack things together tightly. lastly, the majority of people who read manga/ln more and watch the anime adaptations will usually voice this because they know the difference. they would be the first to tell you that you're wrong.

ohagi haven't read the manga/ln for this title but thats pretty much how it goes. characters in the manga/ln across the board have more personality since the writers are able to explore their characters more than an anime adaption would be able to. it's just a fact but for people like us who have never read the manga or ln we wouldn't know the difference so it's as good as it is. if we don't know something in it's entirety we wouldn't be able to give a decent take on it even if we wanted to because what we know is all we have on it.

most japanese anime though are really good at making us not able to notice this though like this show but chinese anime the majority of them aren't smooth. its really easy to lose the plot and they tend to gets disjointed really fast.

Pars pro toto. That's your point, you can look it up, if this is your first time being introduced to the term.

The gripe will remain, since they cut corners the exact same way with every anime they adapt. If they were to take into account the individuality of each anime they adapt and cut things away accordingly, then I could actually look passed it.

Ohagi don't think you understood what Ohagi was trying to address but its fine. It's not a big deal.

Nah, It's just an explanation I've heard so much I simply take it for what it is.

An explanation that you failed to grasp for how its related to "your claim". Throwing latin around won't change your situation. (¬‿¬ )

I'm not sure why these things always have to end up in this kind of semi-competitive state of 'who grasps who best'.

And yes, I failed to grasp how it's related to my claim or rather I didn't feel like putting in the energy to figure it out. Hence, my attempt to see wether your point could be explained by the latin term 'pars pro toto'.

The latin term doesn't seem to completely cover your side of things, so now I'm pondering wether I should go through the effort to try and grasp your lengthy explanation or just move on...

"Dad, I love yuri more than kendo"

Nagumo has OFFICIALLY joined the club!

1 more member to go!

The yuri.... THE YURI!

no yuri, just bff's

bff's with benefits! XD

I know, but I can dream 😞

ngl Such a waste of skill for Nagumo, I really feel bad for her Kendo team members.
But yeah It's really better to do your wants.

The new members seems to have struggled alone to keep the club running before it was shut down.

After the nightmare fuel of that D4DJ episode... I need this light-hearted anime now more than ever

wait you call that nightmare fuel? i thought it was only a bit creepy but i have seen worst
but again i might have more of a tolerance for scary things child me did think it was a amazing idea to have elfen lied and hellsing as some of the anime i started with after all

It's not so much that it's outright horrifying. It's just the fact that it's in a show you'd least expect it to be in. It comes out of nowhere lol.

Kinda like the very first episode of "School Live!"

yea thats fair when you don't expect it your not going to be ready

I really like this anime a whole lot

himitsu heki senpai what a naming genius

and so the tsundere finally joins the judo club

That godd***ed teacher yelling at Michi and Nagumo....bro is such a buzzkill, this is why people are scared of him and just hate this dope.

She was about to confess before he barged in. I JUST KNOW IT!

Gay gay gay the yuri is reaaaalllll

8:51 - geez Michi, you hafta be gentle while you're on top... you just ravaged her!
15:25 - forget what I said... she likes it rough.

OK let's break this down.

I love that for the sports festival they had all the sports teams band up in a relay race. However, rather than have everyone get in their sports uniforms, wouldn't it be easier to just have them wear shirts that says what sports club they're in? NTM, imagine how much of a pain it must be to wear equipment while running like the kendo club for example.
And have everyone wear shoes! Stepping on a LEGO's painful enough, but having someone step on your barefeet, JUST AS FREAKING PAINFUL!!! Especially if you get nicked in your toes.

Nice

Am surprised she actually said it

Ahhhh so not only do we now have Anna, we also have a Secret Weapon waiting on the wings! 😉

The fifth girl finally makes her appearance! About time haha, I was starting to get a little worried she'd only pop up at the end of the season for whatever reason

Loved when Towa wrapped her obi around Nagumo to encourage her on, she knows better than anyone how much of a boost that can give. My palms started tingling during Nagumo's falling practice though haha, just the sound of the slapping takes me back 😂

Love the friendship & the support from Towa ❤

No regrets

Friend finally join in.

Nagu joined the judo club just to be with Michi ... hope she'll have the courage to take the next step and try to kiss her.

yurification yurification

Even it is a school sports festival, you can´t a) take off and throw your suit onto another participant to confuse him in the middle of a relay and b) you are getting DQ´d, if you lose the baton before reaching the goal, so their joy of winning is pointless.

The basketball player should have chucked his ball at her head lol.

To think friendship was this powerfu 😲

sonoda really is a hentai

oye thats cheating nagumo, you cant finish a relay race without your baton.

really emotional episode, brought a tear to my eye 😢

another slow paced wholesome episode

Now I want to experience the judo gi smell for myself!

Is this slide show presentation?

VVh0a

the art was so good this ep! so many lovely drawings, and nagumo's enthusiasm is so infectious. wasn't expecting it to be fun even though it's a slow paced show. good ep!
