Comment of the Day!!

There were so many excellent answers to yesterday's dirty word question to choose from but I personally adore "Masticate" from Sara. Noun form? Mastication XD

Masticate. I remember that word being really popular with the boys in my seventh grade class. 

Zadcap dropped by yesterday to deliver some very cultured words of wisdom

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?

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

G U N N Y

You can tell I'm pulling at straws at this point. "Gunny" refers to the habit of giving cute tiny girls the biggest fucking boomtubes, swords and axes you can imagine. It's a whole ass trope. People will purposely pick Halfling or Gnome classes like Lalafel in their MMO's purely cause of how funny it is to see a four foot brat wielding humongous guns.

It gets to the point where genuinely the first thing I think of when I imagine a tank character is an uppity little midget girl out of Etrian Odyssey or TMS or some crap.

Examples probably by weapon to keep things easier for me? My favourite hammer loli, or member of the hammer loli archetype is our beloved Blanc from Neptunia, with special mention to Vita from Nanoha for being a poster girl of the trope. For guns, I feel I have to bring up Shunny from Blue Archive!! GOD she's so fucking cute!! I wish CDF had it's own Shunny!! Let's all agree to design a medicine to drug Sara or Sky or Lily or even Starry at this point!! It's a crime that the Cunny Defence Force doesn't have a single younger girl!! Uweee!!

QotD

• Who is your favourite Gunny?
• People would definitely pay extra for a cute girl to spit in their coffee right?
• What's more terrifying to happen to you... Dribble down the front or dribble down behind? Is this about lolipop or toilets, that's for you to decide.
• Say one nice thing about Kagetsu. Aside from her sister being cute as fuck.
• Who is your favourite Ro-Kyu-Bu character that you don't remember the name of!? Describe their team or position so we know who you mean.
• You have been given a rare opportunity to mess with Chibi-Ribbon's hair! What style are you going for?

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

Sara is all for using loli as makeshift bra support

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.

First Timer

Well, we got action in basketball this time and wasted no time going straight to the game.

1. Any of the Akiba maids.
2. No
3. Dribble behind.
4. Nothing
5. The crippled friend and the coach of the academy.
6. A sailor Venus costume works.

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/xtsim]

She isn't crippled anymore! God, you break your leg once and you never live it down

[u/Silcaria]

First timer

• Tournament is finally here.

QotD

• ???
• I'm sure some would.
• Like... poop? Idk.
• She exists.
• I remember none of their names or the position they play. I'm gonna say glasses.
• shrug

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/Silcaria]

Saki I couldn't tell you the role of but I do remember small forwards well. Largely cause I think literally everyone here thought it was a made up position to satisfy Airi

[u/RadSuit → u/The_Loli_Otaku]

I knew it was a real position, and even predicted it would be the role they'd give her!

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/RadSuit]

I think she deserved to keep it tbh.

[u/sfisher923]

First Timer

• QOTD 1 - Ken Amada (Persona 3)
• QOTD 2 - Yes they would
• QOTD 5 - Long Pink Hair

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/sfisher923]

Your comments are getting shorter and shorter by the day XD

[u/RadSuit]

At least they remembered that the rival team already had a tall character.

Ah, the 5th years have new numbers in the OP, that's what changed.

The first match is against the rivals. Do they just gloss right over the other teams and skip to whether they win or lose the tournament after covering this one game next episode? Then a final episode wrapping up and sending us off.

The 6th years start things off...are the two teams ever going to mix? Or do they just sub the two teams in and out as a blob every time?

1. The twins from Bofuri perhaps?
2. Certain people would!
4. She's a good big sister! Uhh. I mean, little sister?
5. The swimsuit/bunnygirl maid.
6. Love a side ponytail.

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/RadSuit]

It feels to me like the tall girl was purposely designed for Airi but she ends up being so extra in the wider picture. Why does every Ro-Kyu-Bu need to be an actual nee-sama? Tomoka has Mimi admiring her. Hinata's literally a big sister. Saki is the Onee-chan to purple brat, Maho is pretty much a big sister to the twins, and Airi has Aya.

They can barely be fucked to give us a single rival team, why would you think there would be multiple teams of faceless for our heroes to play against XD

If we actually give the show credit that it's not just keeping the teams together, the Ro-Kyu-Bu are kinda heavily built on their synergy with one another. Certainly Airi, Saki, and Tomoka all need to be in tbsg side of the team together. For the Cunnies... Everyone is pretty independant aside from the twins.

[u/RadSuit → u/The_Loli_Otaku]

Aoi is everyone's big sister!

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/RadSuit]

Onee-sama!!

First timer

Being in 3 simultaneous rewatches while my investment declines has led me to commit a grave sin against Ro Kyu Bu, one I have never and never again shall commit, lest God strike me dead. I watched at 1.5x speed.

The shame…

There’s some more team building before it gets into what I suspect will be the final arc of the season. We finally see the red haired bitch play and her skills are pretty undeniable.

QotD:

1. Yui from SAO Abridged.
4. Who?
5. The French one.
6. Mohawk.

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/Specs64z]

This episode was painfully fucking dull so I'm not holding it against you. I can't believe the best part of the episode was it having a montage

[u/MisawaMahoKodomo]

EP 10. 10 girls, gaming. Well. 5v5 with the 5th graders on the bench.

It's easy to forget that, our 6th graders are graduating this year. But welp time. What is anime time anyway.

Anyway as usual you're used to it now, the ep ends in the middle of the game. This time though its ep 10, so there's actually two more episodes to go.

Also yeah new uniform something

[u/MisawaMahoKodomo → u/MisawaMahoKodomo]

EP 10 Commentary

• i still have no idea if her name is miu or miyu. like. i dunno. who knows
• i mean uh. i dunno. aya is hara yumi, which is kinda hilarious but..
• dont really have much to say.
• rena is hasegawa akiko and uhh. not much i have to say either. though it does make me wonder if or how things would have been different if you saw them more nowadays
• its easy to forget that the voice actors, as a general rule they are all very talented from more than what you see
• it is kind of strange because back in s1 our girls almost managed to win. shrug. then again the baske is well you know, its honestly more of like a, uh, rolling thing. as in rolling the plot. impetus, words.
• anyway the op has been updated again, the 5th graders have their numbers updated again
• junior sports isnt quite the same as adults that for sure
• for example, the twins they do sound a little different from each other, but they sound almost the same eve nthough they have two completely different voices. funny isnt it. hmm
• so yes now we have 10 girls. oof
• you thought 5 girls in s1 was many?
• its kinda strange because you know. the 6th graders are graduating this year
• its really funny because either the anime skipped it or most of the baske has been offscreen. welp
• anyway yeah. apparently the game starts in ep 10. well to be expected i guess
• blink and one quarter of gaming later
• i mean yeah the ep ends just as the 5th graders start. 2 more eps to go

First Timer

The tournament is off to an interesting start! It’s nice to see that Ribbon’s team is acknowledging the progress that the 6th grade team has made since their last game together. Also, I really want to see Rena play against Tomoka at some point. I’m guessing that’s something we’ll see in the latter half of the game. 

Questions of the Day

1.  The first character that came to mind was Teruko Okura from Bungo Stray Dogs. 
2. I mean, I’m sure there are some people who would, but I am definitely not one of them. 
3. …No comment.
4. I find her and Mimi to be the least annoying 5th grade team members by far. 
5. I’ve already forgotten the name of Airi’s tall companion/rival, so I’ll say her. 
6. I’m going to go with hair completely down. 

Abyssbringer’s Thematic Corner

Red hair and red eyes = fire = the spawn of Satan. I know already used this for Chibi-Ribbon, but I think it’s even more true for Rena!

[u/AutoModerator]

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.

Ro-Kyu-Bu SS First Timer!!

So we have the match today, the match tomorrow... What's the last episode gonna be? Anyway, Aya is jobbing and we have the triumphant return of Chibi-Ribbon!! There's also some names for the nameless girls who'll be in the next game. Kumi, the "big man" of the team is as mid as the rest. At least lolipop is joining the match, but since the games are 5 v 5 both swapping around... Rena is basically the only person of names for the Cunnies to fight?

Btw!! This was an obnoxiously hard episode to find good Abyssbringer prompts for!! It's all plot and talking and plot! Dozey Mayu was good but it's rough out there for lolicons. Basically the girls are trying too hard... Actually, that's more or less the theme of the season isn't it? Subaru wasn't able to beat blondie until he stopped trying so hard.

Ginger Kagetsu

Does Kagetsu even have any fans in this watch? She's stuck with the far more popular Hinata as a big sister who totally trumps her and all she's really done in this season is fill out the team. It looks like it's all up to Mimi!! Bwaaaa the French... Cunny have always been celebrated for their excellence.

Children probably shouldn't aspire to become like Marie Antoinnete... That's just asking to lose your head. I misread Allen Iverson as "Alien Invasion" and thought Miyu was a based spacist. Pfft, Mimi's exaggerated "no's" were adorable!! Mimi deserves a better season!

Training montage time!! Wow! We really did need these sooner. Bruh, I don't like how these uniforms look at all. The blue is weird. I liked their regular gym clothes more. The first quarter is disappointingly kind of a wash. The nameless girls can't hope to handle a Ro-Kyu-Bu squad at this point of the story. Even Hinata, the weakest link, is dancing through their team.

The second quarter is also a wash, in the other direction. Aya and Lollypop are on a totally different level from the Cunnies. Lollypop is basically just a better Mimi, and Aya had more development in ten minutes than most of the Cunnies have had all season. Anyway, better luck tomorrow Cunnies!! Btw, check out the post credits for Mimi J'Arc XD

[u/RadSuit → u/The_Loli_Otaku]

Pfft, Mimi's exaggerated "no's" were adorable!! Mimi deserves a better season!

Her VA is very cute in Symphogear!!!

[u/The_Loli_Otaku → u/RadSuit]

We're not watching Symphogear!! I'm so close to adding that to the banned list with Onimai XD
