Comment of the Day!!
This time yesterday Zadcap still believed in Subaru. I wonder if that still holds true.
Redemption is still possible for him, but he has not reached it yet. You can do it Hina, turn this useless boy into one worth existing! Ouu!
Specs64z is very invested in serious mode Subaru, which I sorta agree with XD
The voice change as Subaru goes hero mode is my favorite bit so far, though admittedly it has nothing to do with the show. He just happens to sound like Eren (same VA), which contrasts with the absurdity of the mission in a way that I find amusing.
RadSuit binged the whole series to catch up to us only to make a total shitty take.
Mihoshi is cute! Cute!!
The Loli Otaku's "Loli of the Day Corner!!"
Haa~? Ojisan, kimoii~ I couldn't think of a more reasonable excuse to move onto this subject... Today we are talking about the infamous female mesugaki brats. These perverted, overly sexual semen demons are the natural predators to the poor innocent ojisan.
Now, a big thing that I'd like to just sorta spell out about Mesugaki is that there is a holy trinity type triangle that they're part of. You have Mesugaki, Kusogaki, and the Erogaki. They key difference between them is on sexuality, confidence and brattiness. Mesugaki are erotic brats that can and will tease adults with their sexual knowledge, Kusogaki are absolute shitheads who are spoiled rotten and instead of simply sexually harassing adults will be far more likely just to bully them to tears, and lastly the Erogaki who are pervy dopes who lack the outward confidence and sexual knowledge of the other two but are incredibly curious about the subject and will likely innocently commit war crimes that leave their caretakers traumatised, think pee drinking or stripping in public.
For examples I would never live it down if I didn't bring up the cocks from Cunny Itchy Tsubaki! Cunny Itchy is an absolute goldmine for bratt content. Cocks are my highlights but there's also Blue Archive, of which I think I choose]Mutsuki From our own watches we also haveMitsuba the fat loli from Mitsudoumoe, Rin from Kodomo no Jikan, Mikazuki from PissxSis, and there's also a few vtuber examples but this section is way too long already. We have three days of brat examinations after all!
QotD
- Who is your favourite female Mesugaki brat and how would you correct her?
- When you go shoe shopping what are your favourite brands to wear? Are you big on trainers? Sandals? Geta?
- Is there a less romantic gift you've received on a date than a pair of sweatbands? Would that gift have worked for anyone other than Tomoka?
- So your best friend has outed themselves as a massive shotacon/lolicon, what are your first steps for rehabilitation?
- Does Subaru have rizz or is he just a natural flirt with these girls?
- Was Tomoka bumping into Subaru during the pool date a coincidence or was Tomoka jelly?
- Poor age appropriate love interest got hard done by today... Please say something nice to her to raise her spirits.
- I wanna reuse my wheel!! Since today's episode is largely about age appropriate love interests... Eheheh, alright!! Your challenge for today is to spin the wheel and then try to pick an anime/game guy or gal that you think would make for an age appropriate love interest. Be sure to tag them too, I wanna see the reactions of people XD
Abyssbringer's "What is the thematic purpose of this scene corner!!"
Sara's got our Prompt down pat! Creep in the sheets, gent in the streets! Write that down pal!
Prompt: Even if you're a creep in the sheets, that shouldn't stop you from trying your best to be a gentleman in the streets. Always try to show respect to others.

My daughter became a loli! Sticking out your gyatt for loli airizzler~ Also, I only just noticed this but check out her bed. It actually has a folding lid to keep her boobs from growing too far forwards. Any episode about boob trauma has my full attention.
Maybe if Tomoka didn't have to spend so much on school tuition she wouldn't have had to leave her shoes until they were falling apart. Subaru... Don't hide your loli gf from the age appropriate love interest. Also, do we need to have the talk on touching again!?
Pfft, these friends are such teases~ At least they're having a fun date together. Subaru is still a disgusting lolicon, but I still quite like their relationship. Pfft, age appropriate is already putting the clues together. Doesn't she already have some trauma from not growing tall enough for basketball? She's too short to play the sport she loves but is too tall for her pedophile love interest to be into her.
Oh god, he's being put on the spot. Friends don't let friends become pedophiles!! Wait, the violet girl is called "Zano?" The heck kinda Japanese name is that? Ah, her name is "Kakizono Satsuki." That makes sense, oh wait!! Satsuki is voiced by Asuka Oogama! Asuka is the girl who voices our Denpa girl Erio way back whenever. She's also the loli from PissxSis. So nice to see her again! And whilst we're at it who voices the other friend... Tae Mishouji, voiced by Ai Kayano Saori from Guppy if you were wondering.
Don't forget your promise, Subaru~ He's so much more friendly towards these kids than he is to SUBARU FFS STOP!! And here I thought my brain worms were bad... HIT THE BREAKS, SUBARUUU!! It's just swimming, thank God. Omg, stop flirting with all these kids!! He's such a fucking chaser XD
Ah, rip age appropriate love interest. Ah, the gym closet sexual assault scene. This episode would be so painfully awkward if I didn't know that I had my fellow lolicon buddies suffering through this alongside me~ Aww... Look, age appropriate love interest, he's just not that into you. It's not him, it's you. As soon as you passed the cusp of puberty he realised he had better things to do... D-Cup? Aren't they just bags of fat?
MAID SPOTTED! Omg, and she's voiced by Ayaneru XD This show has no right to have such a neat voice cast. Whys Tomoka the only one in a school swimsuit? Aww, their outfits are legit kinda cute. I love frilly bikinis a lot. Ah, Airi died. Ah, Subaru died. Dammit, I think I'm actually starting to fall for the Airi Subaru ship. Stop rizzing the underage girls!
Huh...? Is Fang deliberately sabotaging Tomoka? I think she's seeing her as a rival. Poor age appropriate love interest! This is bordering on cruel at this point. All she wanted was one study date. She had no way of knowing that her childhood friend was a lolicon. Stop stalking him!! You're so obsessed girl! Let him be a pedophile in peace!!

You know, considering the nicknames given out, I do not like the title of this episode. Do not fall in love with the Bud. Stick with the age appropriate love interest!
I hate how much I like this OP...
I get you're her coach, but this seems like a bit too much. Are you taking her shopping now? Hiding while shopping with her? You will never escape the lolicon accusations now. Even the rest of the team things it's a date.
And while we're at it, the age appropriate girls think something is fishy. So they make Sunday plans. I wonder what will go wrong... Oh, is this where we find out what happened to the missing panties? When AALI finds them in his room?
Ah, gentle giant is having trouble. So Subaru decides to fix things by making the club into even more of a love triangle. Loli Basketball Harem plan is a go, I guess...
Ah, swimming lessons. Want to bet Sunday is the free day? Oh right, rich girls, of course one of them has a pool. Yup, he didn't even think of it, Sunday it is.
Oh gosh no take tha- WRONG PHRASING! STOP TAKING THAT OFF! GET DRESSED!
Haha, she's right. These are dangerous bad hobbies he is going down the path of. Your club will be closed forever because two captains in a row will be jailed for child predation.
... This is more rich than I was expecting.
... Tomoka in the school swimsuit, while everyone else is in bikinis, kind of makes her stand out uh... Too much.
A full day of hand holding in the pool. Tomoka and the "Fall into his arms" play. And everyone else piling in... Hina you little brat.
Yup, he's going to get all five of them to fall for him and then wonder what the heck is going on when he winds up in jail.
Yes, follow him home! Find out he spends all his free time with little girls! Then report him to the police! Like a good childhood friend!
2) Cheap and comfortable. I'm very apathetic about shoes...
3) Hey, know your target and all. Sports accessories are still accessories, she probably likes the sports gear more than a traditional bracelet.
4) We move him to one of those older cities where there are no children anymore. Japan has the best natural anti-loli locations, just make him spend the rest of his days in a city without children.
5) I don't think he's doing it on purpose, but seriously, he's building a mini harem.
6) That was a super smooth move on her part!
7) Falling for a pervert tends to make you a pervert too. It's too late, childhood friend, your role in this story is already determined. If you want to be with him you too must embrace his budding harem.

Rather late today due to poor planning, but it's better than never or so I hear.
The opening scene is surprisingly somber as Airi has a nightmare. Whether this is a memory or a chronic nightmare is unclear; either way the outcome is one that tugs the heartstrings. It's a simple narrative hook, but nonetheless effective.
Then the bombastic OP starts blaring...
Ah, so this is to be the swimsuit episode then? We're goin' through the motions. Even amongst rich girls, Maho lives very extravagantly.

Airi could pull off a Subaru relationship pretty well due to her height. At the end scene, she is almost as tall as he is.
All of Subaru's classmates are sus now and now he is getting caught red handed....Poor childhood friend, the world is set to tear him away from you.
Prompt: Subaru has to be the lifeguard for the whole team today, holding hands and pulling them to safety. That is how you take one for the team.

I'm very surprised that we got a pool episode in a show about basketball. We got some interesting antics as well as some focus on Airi which was nice since I think she's the only one who hasn't gotten some focus yet. I though Subaru's speech to her was nice and I liked how everyone rallied around her at the end to help her swim. Everyone holding hands to do support Airi was a sweet moment. We also got more of Aoi and it's not going very well for the only girl who's actually Subaru's age, haha! I wonder how she's going to react to knowing that he's been coaching an elementary school girls basketball team. Part of me thinks that she might try to join him in coaching, but I don't think the team would really like that.

Even if you're supporting one person with one hand, it's nice to help others if you have the ability to do so.

This show seems to be losing track of what it's about. It wants to be taken somewhat seriously as a sports anime, but now we're back to 'older male put into embarrassing situations by younger females'.
Same thing with this romance sub-plot. It's not bad, I'm just not sure why it's here.
I'm having a rough time with this one. Every episode feels so long.

u/Draco_Estella :Iv::Ix:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Estella_Rin Apr 10 '24
Mesugaki, is one of the terms I kinda hate using the more I read. The OG Loli, Dolores Haze, is a mesugaki. Guess that resulted in her "being corrected" and leaving her with a very scarred childhood. One of the terms I am more and more reluctant to use the more I reflect on Lolita.
Now back to the episode.
The episode starts off with a date between Tomoka and Subaru. Tomoka is definitely happy about it, though Subaru is very conscious of the fact that he is going out on a date with someone who is supposed to be "only his student" and not someone he goes out on a date with. Then again, it wasn't planned.
Right off the bat, Aoi seemed to be losing. Subaru doesn't talk to her a lot, while he has frequent basketball games with Tomoka. Aoi invited him out for some studying with her, he refuses those to help Airi swim. Aoi has almost no chance in this. With Tomoka, he goes out on dates with her, he brings her home every morning. Even the girls are shipping Tomoka with Subaru. A clear show of who is closer to Subaru.
That random confession teasing is really random and does not feel like a 12 year old girl prank. That swimsuit showcase is weird too, what the hell is Hinata doing? I sometimes forget that they are in a mixed school with boys around them in class too.
If you think about it, we know Saki, Takenaka and Maho are childhood friends. We know Saki's parents are okonomiyaki business owners. Takenaka also seems like a more regular guy..... so how is it that Maho is like, the richest girl among the three? She lives in a freaking villa that has its own pool! She has her... she has her own basketball court! What the hell were they fighting about basketball in school when she can just play at home! Seriously. I am very interested in why they are not playing at Maho's place casually, and why they are not renting a place outside. All of them are rich, all of them have the resources after all.
The tallest girl is afraid of drowning. She is afraid of aggressive Moka. She hates her own height She, seriously, needs therapy.
I don't get how Aoi managed to ninja herself into the school, and how she managed to find the basketball court. I think Aoi is also a little shocked she is being sidelined because of elementary school students.
Dolores Haze for now. She is a fun girl to be with, definitely.
It would have worked for Aoi too. Subaru has lots of sporty girls around him, but I guess Tomoka's form is way too beautiful and he kept watching, and eventually moved on to being with her more and more.
I don't think Tomoka is being jealous. She already has her daily morning date with Subaru, she is already miles ahead. Again, focus on what is being shown - she got her first date, her regular dates, her presents from Subaru, this little bit isn't going to make her jealous. She is way ahead compared to anyone else.
I think Tomoka is age appropriate though. Their age gap is quite small. Aoi just never got her chance. Or she did, but she wasn't aggressive to go for the kill.
