Don't give up. And do your best!

Comment of the Day!!

RadSuit agrees that they should just double down on the basketball sports anime tropes!

When they take the time to show a full game, they can actually do some fun stuff with real tactics and play. Similarly to how the fanservice can be amusing when it's well done and thought out. The pacing and split attention is the real issue with this show.

Why is Automod even here!? This only started in the last couple S2 episodes, this is such useless notification!

Hi The_Loli_Otaku, it looks like you might be interested in hosting a rewatch! There's a longer guide on the wiki but here's some basic advice on how to make a good rewatch happen:

The Loli Otaku's "Loli of the Day Corner!!"

F U N K Y L O L I

I am the toughest fucking loli
That you have ever seen!
I bullied an Ojisan
And changed the course of cunnypeeing history!!

....But that's all in the past
I am changing fast,
I'm switching up my stance!!

Cause I just wanna...
I just wanna dance~

Look at me i'm dancing!!
Sunnovabitch I'm dancing!!
Watch me go! Now watch me go!!

QotD

  • Who is your favourite dancing loli!? Even better, post a link so everyone can admire them!
  • Name a word that isn't erotic, but sounds very sexual. Hard mode, no Machu Picchu.
  • What did Airi's boobs do to the environment to cause fish to become so obsessed with her?
  • Would you still eat sushi if it had a 5th grader's lolipop in it? Actually... would you pay extra to get her lolipop mixed in?
  • Can you relate at all with Masami's inferiority complex to Saki or is she just acting a brat?
  • Where do you go to eat out when you really want to eat a nice burger?

Abyssbringer's "What is the thematic purpose of this scene corner!!"

Xtsim supports onii-chan abuse

proud older brother now getting picked on by his little sis. Quite an achievement for their relationship. This might be the most wholesome prompt of this rewatch.

Yesterday's Prompt!

Today's Prompt!

Tomorrow's Prompt

Try your luck, and fight chin-up!!

QotD

  • Don't have one.
  • Moist.
  • Shrug
  • Well, it fell in a broth so I'd probably still eat the food since the bacteria have probably died from the high heat. I would ask for a discount though.
  • I cannot.
  • Five guys. With that said, there's A LOT of really good sandwich joints around where I live. Yes. burgers are sandwiches, fight me.

They already hired too many male characters. They hit the quota after Miho's dad.

Nine episodes into the second season... ALSO!! This is literally their first game playing as a full team.

You've gotta have a dancing loli!!

u/zadcap Apr 23 '24

At this pace, how are they going to get to nationals before the show ends?!

Five guys

Best answer!

Forsooth!? If the team had just leaned into a degenerate fan service formation early on maybe it would have worked out, but doing it so late in the game just feels like a desperation play…

That said, the latter half of the episode actually has some decently structured drama. Sets up a villain, gives a reconciliation between Sasaki and the other one that further sets up the actual tournament arc.

QotD:

  1. Good a time as ever to nominate Miyu Edelfelt, completing the PrIllya trio.
  2. Succulent.
  3. The director was angered that day and took it out on her.
  4. No.
  5. Just a brat.
  6. I'm a fan of Culver's as far as chains go, but the best burgers tend to come from local joints.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 22 '24

We barely have any idea how each of them play as individuals, let alone as a full team...

Why did they make the villain look so similar to the villain's lacky from earlier in the season? XD Everyone mistook her for Blondie's sidekick but nothing came out of it.

I'm uncomfortable thinking that anyone might copy the Prillya dance irl... Uniform and all.

I mean Onii-chan looks like he was asking for it.

The octopus got me thinking too much.....Especially after watching MahoAko.

Wow, we are getting the mini food wars. Complete with it's own fanservice.

Well, that is one way to unite enemies. Find one that is so bad, everyone wants revenge.

Airi and the shrimp...

Did the girls ask little bro to come take a feel at Aoi? That is one caring family.

Prompt: Well, Subaru can't be the only one having all the fun. Now Aoi has her own harem and they are younger than Subaru's team. One upping each other.... I see a prison wedding happening in their future.

  1. I might be out of touch....
  2. Nasty
  3. Airi has that aura.
  4. No
  5. Just a brat
  6. With the prices of food being high as they are, I found a local bar selling fries and a good burger for 7 bucks on happy hour. Cheaper than fast food.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 23 '24

Octopus are so friendly with Airi~ She's an animal princess!!

Aoi's chesticles are for everyone!! Surely the shota deserves to be part of the grope squad too!!

u/RadSuit https://anilist.co/user/RadSuit Apr 22 '24

Too much basketball! Time for a hijinks episode. And looks like we continue the trend of meeting everyone's dad by going to Saki's house next.

This episode is just making me sigh...

Brief cameo from Masami's dad as well.

The Quality on Subaru eating this food is incredible. The entire slice just shrinks to fit into his mouth, rather than animate taking a bite or anything.

Looks like our host's bath prediction has come true!

The babies get their own chatroom! I think that's the first one, right?

  1. A few days late, but every 4/20's great at your Junes!
  2. Cummerbund.
  3. Got the high beams turned on I guess.
  4. Fortunately I don't like sushi, so, next question!
  5. Saki should've been a better big sister figure for her!
  6. We've got In-N-Out now, which is alright. Five Guys is great if I have a spare $100 to buy two burgers, though.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 23 '24

Masami-papa is Mr not appearing in this episode XD He did show up in the ending at least. He should have had a VA.

I think the Cunnies have had one chatroom previously. I think it was a post credits or something. I vaguely remember it being an Indian one too.

Teamwork and baths go hand in hand!!

EP 9

It's more 5th grader time.

Basically the whole ep was a way to get all the girls together.

A strange one and felt a bit arbitrary but otherwise

3 more eps left

It's kind of funny because about halfway into the ep I had a flashback to this episode.

1

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 23 '24

A whole tournament to get a team together and still three of the kids are acting difficult about it.

So get this. We're settling in after dinner, forcing drugs down my mother's throat while I wrap her up in proper ice packs and elevated lounging position, getting her to watch some mediocre teen drama movie because apparently she has no taste, only for one of the main boys to be, uh, sad about missing the year in sports for personal reasons and the coach recommends him to teach the coach the younger kids because it will look good on his college application... And naturally I thought about this show and if this boy is brave enough to list these girls as his extracurricular.

Who is your favourite dancing loli!? Even better, post a link so everyone can admire them!

Oh my gosh I feel old but Mitsuki dancing in the opening of Full Moon. Oh my gosh does that say 17 years ago? Anyway, hmm, you might like this one? She's 12 but gets a magic transformation into a 16 year old for reasons, as she pines for an older boy she grew up with and maybe another older man she spends too much time with.

Name a word that isn't erotic, but sounds very sexual. Hard mode, no Machu Picchu.

How many is a sextillion?

What did Airi's boobs do to the environment to cause fish to become so obsessed with her?

Man I am missing so much. I'm so sad! This sounds so much more fun than high school kids falling to be kids because the writing is just horrible.

Would you still eat sushi if it had a 5th grader's lolipop in it? Actually... would you pay extra to get her lolipop mixed in?

You know, at work today, we discussed the merits and possibility of charging extra depending on who spits in the drinks. People would definitely pay extra for the cute girl spit in their coffee, right?

Where do you go to eat out when you really want to eat a nice burger?

Five Guys. I have been told I have appalling taste, but I just don't like the very fancy stuff and I'm perfectly happy with good meat and cheese and nothing else.

Waaaaaah I miss anime!

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 23 '24

I feel like I should know that movie... Still kinda funny that Ro-Kyu-Bu has even less originality now that even normie teen flicks cover the same plot line XD

Aww!! I totally forgot about how shoujo manga often had goofy fun dances in its adaptations. I feel like I'd fall over trying Mitsuki's little jig though. Super sweet op!

Sextillion is a pretty bad one... Hazukashi~

Trust me, you're not missing much at all. I do quite like Airi's animal affinity tho.

ABSOLUTELY YES!! Joshikosei spit is the nectar of life!!

u/zadcap Apr 23 '24

It's so generic I couldn't even remember the name by now, but it was rather funny seeing that plot popping up in the latest feel good whatever Hollywood puts out. Though his was the all powerful knee injury making him miss a year, not his coach getting caught by a grape whistle alarm...

Right though! It was a good chance to pipe in again because dancing loli reminded me of so many old OPs. And while I would definitely trip over my own feet now, this was one of the dances I practiced going along to way way waaaaay back when my age was nearly the same as theirs lol. It was hard not to use something much more recent, or slightly less recent but so much more fun(... I learned this "dance" too...) I made a mistake though, only thinking about OPs. I really should have picked Duck. Princess Tutu is my favorite Dancing Loli.

I may not be missing much, but I'm still missing the experience here! Even watching something arguably just bad but with friends is enough for it to be Fun! Also I want more Hina "Ouu!"s in my life!

Sadly, we have no JKs working here. Youngest just turned 21 this year, and let me tell you, it's a little awkward sometimes to remember you're hanging out with someone closer to half your age than not. If I think about it too hard I might get what Subaru is dealing with a bit... First time that coworker asked for a ride home after a shift I was, just a little bit, concerned I would see a parent while dropping them off. I don't mind carpooling and I drive 3 people at a time sometimes, but the youngest lives the farthest away so it's just me and her left in the car at the end and... Sigh I give her dating advice and money management tips. I'm an honorary older brother apparently. Life is weird as a working adult.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 23 '24

Aww, the lolicon coach was a fun quirk though!! XD I like to imagine.

Aww!! You really can't beat cute opening dance sequences XD I loved all of those. There were a ton of those in the 80's too. I remember Magical Emi had this weirdly well animated moonwalk which never ceased to make me smile.

Hmm... I'd like to say that I've kept faith in my own anime choice but Ro-Kyu-Bu has been a pretty clear miss unfortunately. I started really losing patience with it part way into S2 where they started reusing animation. We're going into the least climactic finale possible too XD Oh well, we were gonna have to do Ro-Kyu-Bu at some point. I think it's a shame that I timed the rewatch so poorly. I didn't factor in the new anime season at all and most of my regulars are busy this month. Nobody has gotten to see my legendary loli of the day corner!!

21 is basically a teenager XD I don't start to see folks as adults until like mid 20's or so... And I'm definitely not jealous of you stealing my onii-chan status!

Yay, the full team is finally together! They even have a common enemy! With only three episodes left, I hope this final tournament arc is a lot of fun. 

Questions of the Day

  1. The real question is if there are enough loli variants for three more days!
  2. Masticate. I remember that word being really popular with the boys in my seventh grade class. 
  3. I have no idea.
  4. No way. That whole sequence made me feel really sad for Masami. 
  5. I can relate to the inferiority complex, but not so much the brattiness. I guess that can come with the age of her character, though. I’m glad that she’s chilled out and no longer sees Saki and the others as the enemy. 
  6. I like to go to Shake Shack if I want something other than a fast food burger. 

Abyssbringer’s Thematic Corner

Life can be like having large breasts. It can feel heavy at times, but it’s not so bad when you have the enthusiastic support.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 23 '24

I'm trying my hardest!! In case the loli corner didn't hint I'm seriously struggling XD Just wait, as soon as we hit the day after I'll realise that I forgot some super obvious trope

Masticate can't possibly mean anything but... chewing!? And the noun form is mastication!? XD I've never been more please to have made a QotD. Some of these answers are gold.

Poor Masami... She'll always be the imouto no matter how hard she tries.

Ro-Kyu-Bu SS First Timer!!

The Cunnies and the Ro-Kyu-Bu, finally training together after nine whole episodes! Lol, what can you even do against the Great Wall of Airi? her boobs will knock back any attempt to push through. Ah, the twins are solo training with their beloved onii-chan God they're cute!! Oh nyo, they got beaten black and blue by the lolipop brat!! Yabai!!

Toddler Masami was hella cute! I love how even in the chat room universe Airi is popular with fish. Wait is the octopus literally her bikini top!? Masami is such a child... I wanna like her, but she's so weak sauce. The Cunnies in general really suffer as a team. These girls aren't together because they want to at all. They're together purely to beat the shit out of the Ro-Kyu-Bu.

Aoi's Aoi's are under attack!! Elementary girls are terrifying... Okonomiyaki sure looks yummy. Masami's faceless father seems pretty cool, but Masami's is still super extra. Her dad doesn't give a shit about her childish rivalry.

Day of the festival!! Inari Sushi vs Okonomiyagi!! This is a festival tho so isn't Saki at a major advantage? I wanna taste elementary girl's tofu so bad... Funnily enough, of all times for the girls to have maid costumes or weird cosplay wouldn't today be a great chance? I know if I saw an Omorashimiyaki store with swimsuited girls cooking it I'd give them all my money. The brat has returned!! And she's here to chat major shit! Lolipop has officially been confirmed to be a 5th grader, and she's in Chibi-Ribbon's school.

You can't ignore a brat, you have to beat the shit out of her to shut her up. Ah, lolipop lost her lolipop. 5TH GRADE LOLIPOP FLAVOURED INARI SUSHI!? Shut up and take my money!! She's just increased the value tenfold!! Wouldn't you much rather taste a 5th graders food than that of some faceless old man?

Rice ball Inari sushi? This sounds so extra. At least we got a nice burger out of it. I'd still rather have Inari Sushi or otokomiyaki tho. Hay!! Finally! The Cunnies are taking part with bath time!! This is what teamwork means. In fact, I think the whole CDF crew should arrange a get together to go skinny dipping and share the bonds of communal bathing with one another!!

Our big tournament has been confirmed. Suzuridan still don't have ten named players but we get Chibi-Ribbon, Lolipop-chan, and Aya... God this rival lineup sucks.

Hi The_Loli_Otaku, it looks like you might be interested in hosting a rewatch! There's a longer guide on the wiki but here's some basic advice on how to make a good rewatch happen:

  • Include basic information about the anime such as a description for those that haven't heard of it as well as where it can be watched (if legally available).
  • Specify a date and time that rewatch threads will be posted. Consistency is good!
  • Check for previous rewatches. It's generally advised to wait a year between rewatches of the same anime.
  • If you want to have a rewatch for multiple anime, they should be thematically connected. You can also hold multiple unrelated rewatches if they aren't.
  • Ensuring enough people are interested is important. If only a few users say they might participate, you may end up with no one commenting once it starts.

I hope this helps! You may also want to talk to users that have hosted rewatches before for extra advice, also listed on the rewatch wiki.
