I will. I usually watch all the 'cute girls doing cute things' shows and everything even vaguely basketball related (although let's be serious here, there hasn't been a worthwhile basketball anime since Slam Dunk and even that was very, very flawed). Can't wait.

>>4466
That music makes me feel like it's 2005 all over again. Will watch.

>LOLIS LOLIS EVERYWHERE
>Big boobed lolis dribbling big basketballs

Watching.

Ok

What's the first piece of information I look for when I hear about this kind of show? Checking the voice cast!

- Hikasa Youko (Mio from K-On!, Sera from Kore wa Zombie, Shino from Seitokai Yakuin)
- Hidaka Rina (Last Order from Index, Kohane from xxxHolic, Yoshino from Sengoku Otome)
- Iguchi Yuka (Kaede from Nyan Koi!, Chise from Mayoi Neko, Index from Railgun)
- Hanazwa Kana (female lead from every single show that airs this season)
- Ogura Yui (newcomers make me feel really old lately - I mean seriously, born in 1995; might want to keep an eye on her, though - she will also voice the female protagonist from Kamisama no Memochou, that show about NEET detective with Kishida Mel's designs)

Looks cute, I might give it a shot

>Big breasted loli
>meek to all hell
Hello Mio.

>>4474

>I might give it a shot

hehe

>LOLIS

Say no more. I'll definitely add this to the list.

I will not.

The scale of the balls to the girl's size bugs me to no end.
I can't help but think they'd easily get hurt.
with the balls being as big as they are to them, them being as short as they are, and having arms like twigs, that hoop must seem like a mile high to them.
Also, as others have pointed out, the idea of a big breasted little girl doesn't sit that well with me.
but what the heck, I'll check it out, hopefully basketballs moe will turn out to be as good as baseball moe.

It looks kind of serious going by that preview. I need humor with my moe or it won't work

>Basketball Girls: The Animation
DEAR GOD, YES!
Is there anything else about girls playing basketball?
My fetishes are just weird.

>>4504

There's uh... Black Rock Shooter? Kanbaru from Bakemonogatari? Possibly an ep in Clannad as there was some b-ball in VN (haven't seen the anime so I don't know if that particular scene was adapted).

You won't find much I'm afraid. If you're desperate you will have to go read some manga.

In before no one will sub this.

>>4507

You don't honestly believe that, do you?

Both Evetaku and Hayatsuki already announced they're subbing it and there are several other groups who still consider it.

Sorry but lack of subs is absolutely impossible for an anime about cute little girls.

>>4506
There's a lot of basketball in the anime.

>>4515

>Is there anything else about girls playing basketball?

And even if he didn't say girls 'a lot' is a vast overstatement. I doubt you'd go to double digits even if you counted all of them, even the shitty ones.

>>4509
>Sorry but lack of subs is absolutely impossible for an anime about cute little girls.

You don't watch much Shoujo anime do you?

>>4518

Ok, let's me fix that:

>Sorry but lack of subs is absolutely impossible for a SOL anime about cute little girls.

>>4517
You didn't really understand my post, did you.

Honestly people, this show does not have enough cute girls doing cute things to back up the lack of story, personality and development that it obviously lacks. I mean, in the first day of training, the girls go stupid and miss the entire day of practice, clean the court when the actually didn't even use it and, just as the second day begins, a loli jumps out of nowhere and throw a hissy fiss about not being good enough.

What I mean is that this cant back up the actual lack of quality the show has with moe or what not, and I say this with deep regret as a general moe blob fan.

>>4671

>I mean, in the first day of training, the girls go stupid and miss the entire day of practice, clean the court when the actually didn't even use it and, just as the second day begins, a loli jumps out of nowhere and throw a hissy fiss about not being good enough.

PICKED UP

Sounds like this is the kind of show where the best move is to just wait for doujins rather than watch it

Slightly boring but this little pink haired dwarf is really cute. If it's no more than 12 episodes I'll watch it.

>>4803

>>4804
I could barely stand how completely adorable she was.

>>4803
Oh god she's so tiny.

His sister(?) looks like Konata and acts like Haruhi.

>>4821
The other girl there is just big.

>>4823

>>4822
I don't see the resemblance.

>>4833
That stance is pure haruhi

>>4833

I will never be able to unsee this.

Oh dear.

I hope he doesn't get in "trouble" in the future.

Oh god this show really is adorable

I love these parts

>>4838
Now I see the resemblance.

This show...

Subaru, you lolicon!

Hinata is so cute my brain ceases to function normally.

>>4925

Between this and Usagi Drop, it feels like Japan is trying to kill me.

>>4922

It's even got sexual tension!

I'm really enjoying this show, it surpassed my expectations for some reason.

>>4955
This show is gonna kill me

>>4940
No it doesn't.
Not at all.
Nope.
My poor nutbladder.

OH GOD MY HEART
>Welcome back, dear!
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I kind of want to try this because I loved Slam Dunk, but I know that this is obviously nothing like it ;_;

>>5094
This is as much about basketball as saki was about mahjong.

This show was very obviously made for lolicons.

>>5094

Every time Hinata says "Onii-chan" my heart skips a few beats.

Although I like all the characters, there's just something about Tomoka... wait.

Hold the phone... is that meat loaf wrapped in BACON?

Such perfect form.

>>5160
She's pretty good at throwing basketballs, too

>>5161

You sir... are witty.
Though, I feel like I've said this before.

>>5163
Don't worry I get it a lot.

>>5160
Damn right bitch, her shits motherfucking perfect fool, best remember dat!
strait out the hood en shown how it done to all the sucka ass punks.

>>5167
The snoop dogg gif makes me laugh whenever I see it for some reason

so, do they not have public basketball courts in japan?

I can live with a girl from elementary school who makes 50 FTs in a row (let's be serious here, it's anime, I didn't expect it to be realistic) but does she have to jump while taking them? It ticks me off.

>>5176

You're just mad cause she's stylin all over you with her fundamentals.

Pic related.
It's you.

>>5102
Oh~

>>5176
they probably did it because it looks cool.
besides, they're what, like 3 feet tall? they need that extra little boost.

>>5177

Well I wonder about those fundamentals of her - come on, she can't even make a proper FT, that's even worse than Sakuragi!

>>5180

Before watching it I wanted to say that it'll probably make me rage hard as some women shoot using both hands (not so much in the WNBA but some Europeans tend to do so) which makes my eyes bleed. Luckily, they have at least that much covered.

... Oh yeah, that reminds me - did I mention the show is cute?

The idea of tiny little girls tried to play basketball, and I do mean trying, kind of bugged me a bit first.
mostly becuase I worry about them getting hurt somehow
I can't understand why Hinata is there (other then the moe, I mean on the team) she's slow and tiny and as adorable as she is, completely useless on the team, and Saki doesn't seem to do much other then just pass.
After seeing how much the boys who are supposed to be former champs of some sort that are all serious about basketball, lose to a bunch of little girls who didn't know what basketball was a week before, it made me understand that this show isn't really about basketball, it's just a facade to cover for the loli.
Basketball certainly is a big part of the anime and ever present, but it's clear this show prioritises moe/loli over the game itself.
and I think it's a safe bet most people watching this don't care about Basketball, let alone if they get things right.

>>5196
>it's just a facade to cover for the loli

No way!

>>5196

>this show isn't really about basketball, it's just a facade to cover for the loli.

STOP
THE
PRESSES

>>5196
>this show isn't really about basketball, it's just a facade to cover for the loli.
>I think it's a safe bet most people watching this don't care about Basketball

Holy shit I want some of what your smoking, next you'll tell me that K-ON isn't about music!

>>5199
>>5198
>>5197
screw you guys, I'm staying home.

>>5196

Can't you just let them have the victory?
They worked pretty hard for it after all.

I mean, they barely won... mostly thanks to Airi and Tomoka. Not to mention, the strength between boys and girls isn't that different around their age.

>>5215
who said anything about strength? the boys had been training for a very long time and have done well against other schools as they said, and just as the boys said, the girls, some of them anyway, aren't serious and are just playing around.
Besides, who's trying to take their victory here? the boys sucked in that match.
The way I see it, the boys are idiots, the girls are a joke and Tomoka was the only person on that court with any skill.
All I was trying to say before I was made fun of for stating the obvious, was that there's no point to looking to much into the sport side of the show or even trying to take it seriously.
..or are we gonna need another 50 free throws in a row?

>..or are we gonna need another 50 free throws in a row?

Awwwww Yeah!

>>5217

>there's no point to looking to much into the sport side of the show or even trying to take it seriously.

Slam Dunk sure was a lot more realistic, right?

>>5217

Good thing I'm not watching it for the sports side then.

So he was mad because Maho is a genius that surpasses him in everything?

I guess her easily quitting the things he invests so much time into is somewhat frustrating. I'm glad he got over it though.

I kind of hope he joins the team. They could sure use his help.

>>5328
>twintails
>fang
>annoying Index voice

Oh give me more.

Maho is nowhere NEAR as annoying as Index though.

>>5217

They seem pretty serious to me.
The most laid back would probably be Hinata, but even she's willing to sacrifice in the name of FRIENDSHIP.

The latest episode was sure something

>>5543

Wow, just wow. When I saw 'The latest episode was sure something' on front page I thought 'bet he's talking about Ro Kyu Bu'.

But yeah, they went full pedo this time.

>>5543
I expect to see Subaru in handcuffs by the end of the show.

>>5545

S2 will be one of those realistic dramas. Set after Subaru gets released from prison, the series will follow his struggles in life after being ostracized by society for being a pedophile. He will search for his place on Earth but after finally being able to find some peace and acceptance in remote village his dark past will haunt him - the first ep will end in cliffhanger after he gets an anonymous note saying 'I know your secret'.

>All this talk about pedophilia
Isn't the guy only like 16-17 while the girls are 11-13?
Really, there's not enough of a difference for anything special to happen by the end.

>>5550
If it were america he would be dragged behind a truck by his neck for even trying to become a little girl basketball coach

He doesn't even hide it anymore.

>>5551

>dragged behind a truck by his neck

That only happens in the uncivilized south eastern part of America. It's because they don't know how to use their words to convey any sort of meaning.

>>5553
Yeah in the north his life would just be systematically destroyed by the people until he kills himself.

LOLIS...IN....SPAAAAACE

An anime about basketball you say?

>>5554

He wouldn't even be able to leave his house. His family would pretty much disown him... providing the bare essentials and nothing more.

Subaru's still cool though.
Hell, in ten years the age difference wouldn't even matter.

>>5556

She puts her name on her underwear.
How cute.

>>5557
>in ten years the age difference wouldn't even matter
I love how people use this all the time to make pedophilia seem okay.
it might be okay if they were each ten years older, but they're not, and that's the point.

>>5560

Do people use that all the time?
I don't speak with lolicons too often.

I don't know... I kind of just turn off my "moral/prejudice" meter and just enjoy the show. It's not like he's done anything dangerous (or with ill intentions)... and he means well. No one is "perfect" after all.

>>5559
You mean you don't?!

You're a funny guy.
I mean it.

>>5551
What hellhole part of America do you live in?

>>5560
A five year age difference isn't pedo.

>>5592

Pedo isn't really about age difference, though.

I honestly don't understand why this is even a problem. Did some PTA members or some church group stumble upon Tohno-chan or something?

>>5599

It's not a problem as long as you don't think of it as one. What we're saying is that the anime is pretty much straight pedo at this point. I'm more than fine with it, that's exactly what I expected.

>>5600
pretty much, I don't think anyone was surprised this was made with lolicons in mind.

I can't wait what the next episode is all about. A 3-5 year age difference is considered to be pedo?

>>5555
I love these scenes.

>>5616
No one cares about real age, since 90% of the time a character's real age in anime is completely laughable.
lolis that are in their 30s, grown women that are 3 years old, a endless sea of little girls that are 17.
How can anyone take those numbers seriously?

What we have here are girls that look 8 - 13 and a guy that looks 17 - 19
Sure, the age divide isin't as bad as shows like KnJ, but it's enough.
Note that one one cares about the kid from the boys basketball team, since he looks to be around the same age as the girls, even though he tried to steal those panties.

episode 7 doesn't air this week? why?

This guy...

>>5891
He sure is something...

I was looking forward to seeing the fallout from him getting caught watching them change, but it's never even brought up. Then again there were swimsuits everywhere this episode so I can't be mad

so cute

>>4804
I started watching this because of that pic. She may be the most adorable thing I have ever seen.

Misawa Maho reminds me so much of Moetron.

I swear this show makes less sense with every passing week.

>>5933
That's just the power of moe lolis melting your brain

>>5928

Hinata is the new Rika.

She's in the way.

I hope they don't plan to keep her around... because it's going to hurt the show a bit.

>>5953

I take it back... she's alright.
She has to stop with the violence though. I mean, he doesn't even deserve that.

This episode was even better than the last one

Best school-nurse ever.

>>5953
I find her very irritating, to say the least.

>>6027
Wait, another swimsuit episode?! I mean I like lolis in swimsuits as much as anyone, but I like seeing them do other cute things too!

>>6028

You say it like its a bad thing.

As of right now we've had two pool episodes and one beach episode

>>6043

I was waiting for someone to make that.

>>6043

Airi's so huge.
.
.
Only Subaru can make this look natural.

!

>>6067
Subaru briefly experienced heaven right there.

oh geez

I like her outfit.
Look at all those frills.

Ro-Kyu-Bu: Vice City

You know this show isn't good at all.

I can't stop watching it, though, as these are some of the cutest girls I have ever seen.

I am scared how much money I may lose to this. I already am thinking of getting this dakimakura cover. They start putting out Hinata merchandise I like and there goes my money.

>>6173
I feel the same way. The show itself is dumb as shit but those lolis man...

>>6173
yeah, really, we've had how many swimsuit eps in a row without a single basketball in sight now?

>>6175

What about basketballs? I don't see how that has anything to do with this show.

>>6176
Airin's breasts, they are as big as basketballs

>>6173
>>6174

What's so bad about it?

Imo it does what it sets out to do... and does it just fine. I mean, there are FAR worse things out there than Rou Kyuu Bu.

>>6186
>it does what it sets out to do
It really doesn't

>>6186
I'd kill for a stitch of that scene. Preferably of the flashback version of it since there's not a ton of steam covering up her lower half

>>6186
Sure, if what it set out to do was be a mindless loli fanservice show hidden behind a thin mask of basketball, which it abandons half way in toto the show only to go full pedo. lolicon.

but yeah, there's worse out there, and who didn't know this was that kind of show?

>>6187
>>6190

Pretty sure the main point of the show was about a coach teaching a basketball club full of elementary school girls. That's what it was about. How did it not fulfill its goal?

The characters were introduced wearing maid outfits in the first episode. Didn't really seem like it was going to be serious business from the start if you ask me.

If there is anything to complain about, it would be the development between Subaru and Tomoka (which I thought was fine)... or the lack of development with Saki, who didn't even get her own episode.

>>6192
Because they drifted away from basketball and never took it seriously to begin with.
But a show about a guy being turned into a lolicon by a harem of little girls, that's what this has always been and will continue to be, really, who watching this cares about basketball?
Watching this show for the basketball is like watching nascar for the racing.

>>6187
>>6195

What were you guys expecting from the series?

>>6196
I wasn't expecting them to be that blatant about the lolicon stuff, but it was still more or less what I expected.

>>6197

I agree.

>>6196
Nothing, which is why I'm not watching it.

>>6199

Then why are you...
You know what?
Nevermind.

You guys attention on this made me finally marathon it today: damned good, honestly, no complains at all.

Now, if you excuse us...

I lost.

>>6195
>>Watching this show for the basketball is like watching nascar for the racing

lol wat? what do people watch NASCAR for, other than crashes and social purposes?

>>6253
That's the point.

Nascar is about racing, but people watch it for the car crashes, just as this is about basket ball, but people watch it for the loli.

Post edited on 21st Sep 2011, 1:50pm

It's a harem show that contains het. I only watch yuri/asexual these days, so I'm afraid I can't take you up on this recommendation.

Guess it's over.

Not sure about everyone else, but I rather enjoyed this series. I hope it sells well in moon land. I wouldn't mind another season.

>>6266
I'm the same, oddly enough.

>>6267
We can only hope.

Was it that great? Not plot wise, but it had the best lolis ever. They are all so damn cute it is hard to believe. Even poor Ari who had the "misfortune" of going through early puberty was cute.

I want to see more of Saki. Glasses are adorable.

Okay, Hinata was the most adorable, but the other girls need some love too.

At this stage of anime-watching, plot doesn't even concern me anymore. It had like-able characters, which is good enough for me.

If I wanted a decent plot, I would read a book.

>>6274
Oh god, that hand...

>>6277
Now I can't unsee it as a over sized arm.

>>6274
>>6277
maybe they're cousins or something?

>>6282

Giant hand protruding out of her shoulder.

I'm not that crazy about the basketball side of it, but good lord, this kills me!

Well, so long RKB. You weren't the best show, but damn if you weren't always cute.

>>6306
how can anyone possibly walk in on that and misunderstand the situation?
clearly he fell.
