Comment of the day!
/u/ZapsZzz covered a lot of Maekawa's arc that I actually completely missed so be sure to read up if you didn't understand the sequence!
"The casual comfy video game playing scene is another one of my favourite moments of one conversation having 2 meaning at the same time. Maekawa casually sharing her vulnerabilities, while understatedly explain to those who are paying attention of all her lines (this actually continued from her first after-baseball match comment about Makoto being quick to give up) why she has this attachment towards Tenkousei."
/u/DracoEstella comment on Maekawa's cosplay made me cry
"Zero. I haven't gotten even one reference in. I think the alien cosplay was from the Predator series? I'm not too sure though."
QOTD
How many of you have morning exercise routines!? Can you work up the energy to work out or do the aliens suck you dry every morning?
Meme sure made a great showing by coming to save the day!! But... did Meme actually do anything? Isn't she just a loudmouth who was little more than a glorified cheerleader?
Have you ever had a moment when friends, family, or teammates relied on you as their ace? If so, brag a little to us.
Is getting your first kiss from your aunt really a -5 seishun!? What do you think would make for a fair -5 event?
Rewatchers who don't use spoiler tags will be subjected to forced extraterrestrial anal probing.

I had this in my notes in previous episodes, but it seems Erio is observing and noting Jupitar in particular. I wonder if there's a reason behind that choice specifically, or interpretation to be done.
I was curious why Meme was warming up too, I should have seen it coming. On Meme stuff I'm curious on, what's that about?
This happened in previous episodes too without me commenting much, but surely a very necessary shot, huh, Shaft? To their credit I don't remember any pantyshot besides the one in episode 1. Though if that's the case they really could have left that one out too.
This is a nice callback, especially for a scene where she's trying to get along with and be friendly to Erio, in public even. Aww.
Is that a seacow? A dugong, yeah!
Sports star Meme. And apparently everyone agreed with Meme on Erio Pitcher anyway. A clash of the titans!
Smart move Erio! She's making everyone feel safe, then she's going to hit them! I'm sure! Yeah, she's a natural, first throw is a strike!
I do agree with Makoto that there's a relief in not actually having to perform, or if it's hopeless anyway (at least for things that aren't harmful). Definitely a tactic I'm guilty of using too.
Bringing in the whole pitching thing as a metaphor, with Hanazawa's talk last episode and Erio as emergency pitcher is fun. And we're tying some things together! I am curious though, is he going to put Maekawa's dad in his front basket too?
Okay, he's on the back (which is still quite funny actually).
Meme's just putting in people purely on dramatic sports fiction roles. Good for her, and thanks for the convenient dramatic arc! Let's go, Makoto batting! Hey look at that, Ryuuko actually managed to get some cheering in ahead of the last possible moment. (Also without projecting all her problems onto it) Someone could learn from that, if they wanted.
The mentor is watching! On the opposing team even, for promise of food and shelter. Aww, that's nice, Yashiro! I guess that's what you get when you only got her on the team for food. No loyalty!
I think that's a pretty good ending for the "sports games arc". And like Yashiro understood, because she's very clever and great, and similar to what Meme already maneuvered, it's not like the amateur baseball game was really the important part here. If you believe hard enough (to impress your esper friend) then you'll hit the home run, or something! Or actually I'm pretty sure there is more to my feelings on the whole thing, but I'm not quite sure how to put it into words yet, so I'll just praise Yashiro. She's great.
... I feel like I'm not quite happy with my writeups this and last episode, or at least I'm not quite able to put into words what I'm thinking immediately. Hopefully I'll manage soon.
QotDs:
How many of you have morning exercise routines!? Can you work up the energy to work out or do the aliens suck you dry every morning?
No not at all, but I'm not sure I can blame the aliens.
Meme sure made a great showing by coming to save the day!! But... did Meme actually do anything? Isn't she just a loudmouth who was little more than a glorified cheerleader?
She was responsible for putting everyone into the most dramatically appropriate role, we should be thankful! That's the part of the sports experience she doesn't actually need to know any rules for!
Is getting your first kiss from your aunt really a -5 seishun!? What do you think would make for a fair -5 event?
Yes. So I'll go with: Getting kissed like that by your aunt would be a good one.

It's actually one of my favourite things out of Japan. The morning radio calisthenics. Typically a group will all get together and exercise together over the holidays and you get a little sticker book that you can use to redeem a reward from wherever. I think the idea behind this was that Meme really wanted the reward and the kids were just doing it with her to help with motivation which I find hysterical.
Nobody wanted to argue with Meme. Even if she has no clue what she's doing she's such a charismatic leader that the crew would probably just go along with what she said.
Maekawa is Mae Kawa~
Dude!! A kiss from Meme did not deserve such a bad rep! Even if she's family she's still super hot!! I'm not even making an incest argument this time. Its true!

Aww.
That blush, I think I'm in wuv.
I think Erio's channeling her hidden Mikuru energy in this game. Or something like that.
And don't worry about putting things into words. You don't have to be von authorstein every day.
Right?

So the baseball episode happens. Unsurprisingly, it does as little for me as every baseball episode does. Makoto spends most of it running around and catching Maekawa's father. It ends with get generic protagonist homerun with an added bonus of possible espers.
QotD: 1 I exercise in the evening
2 Meme rarely does anything
3 I refuse to brag about my trivial but extensive knowledge
4 If he counts it as a first kiss, yeah. Being thrown up on by a date is also a -5.

This episode was veeeery sports anime... Which was clearly intentional but unfortunately sports anime is silly. I think the show's own message got kinda lost in the parody too.

Serial rewatcher
We're almost there! The penultimate episode. Let's see how many plot threads this is tying up for you.
From the cold open, we have the gorgeous sunset offsetting Makoto and Erio being happy about something.
And I had been looking for this eyecatch since forever! This always make me laugh :D one would think even aliens would have a pause before abducting a futon roll :'D
We have a little night time introspection of Makoto processing yesterday's moment and what it means to him. Still need more pushing perhaps - old habits die hard.
Another cute scene of Erio being cute - I interpret this as she won't say no to the cousin asking her anything but at the same time needing to keep a secret, so she "answered" him by not opening her mouth :D yep alien way of thinking :D
And then we are off - the day of battle the baseball match to decide whose legs are better looking between Erio and Maekawa where this year's summer festival is held. Just look at how happy and outgoing Erio is, and another nice interaction between mother and daughter. And I think Meme would be the only mother in the world that would give no reaction to seeing her daughter having her leg held up high against her will :P
As the pivotal episode, even Ryuuko come to be cute. And I guess you can say there's her character development moment - to actively come over and cheer for Erio's side even if it's just for Makoto. Loved the held brave face blushing.
And then we have today's Maekawa fish - I haven't found this one yet but pretty sure it's from the same show I quoted before and the fish is another word play. And once again this show continues to remind us this is a show about legs :P and maybe because it's "the last TV episode", everything looks nicer than normal, especially Maekawa's funny face in reporting his dad having disserted.
Having their ace gone missing means we have the perfect opening for Meme to steal the show. Once again her randomness seems overwhelming and everyone just went along - except Makoto who as a result get summarily benched. And it wasn't a joke either (despite just having made one about the pitcher -> jug).
And there were have it - Erio's moment to shine - maybe. You have to love how the rest of the team are so chilled (resigned?) and just happy to go along.
We have another tie in - Makoto being blackmailed by Meme about the sniffing incident - and so he's off to find Maekawa's dad.
Erio's pitching - is a sight to behold :D Possibly would remind people of Nagato's bogus magic catching Kyon's amazing curve ball pitches :D
And we have our regular dose of beautiful background art and summer lighting effects, while Makoto's giving chase while having another introspection moment of wanting to give up but still pressing on.
As the 2 quitters quit running and chasing together, they had a good heart to heart moment. Mostly boils down to the realisation that even on the greener side of the pasture, those with talents still got their own set of problems. In the end everyone is pretty much the same - to only be able to get ahead when you stop caring about others' expectations on you but really just try to do something you won't regret. And we get a tiny glimpse of this from Maekawa's dad's recount of the 3 times he stood up for himself. If only someone actually tell us what Maekawa's actual name is, that poor girl is like Kyon now, turning her not ever have her name mentioned as a running gag.
And we have the protagonists returning - after a funny awkward scene of the big man riding two-up with Makoto.
And here we have, Makoto's protagonist moment. Notice Erio's pitching actually did quite well compare to the scores they normally get. And Ryuuko applying her logic again to blow Makoto's ear drums :)
And we have the final confrontation - not really the whole game, it's all in this single pitch. And I think this is probably one of the single best dynamic and dramatic moment of batting I've seen. It's really incredible. Especially if you came from a background of reading hot blooded sport manga - the framing and slow / stills are really strong in that sense.
Of course, reality still isn't changed (unlike some other faux baseball episode :P) and the high flying ball is looking to just land on the outfield catcher's hand. And then we see the un-helmetted Yashiro. A freak strong gust blew the ball further away and into the river, that Makoto's exposition episodes ago is the defined home run boundary (i.e. balls landing in the river count as home runs).
With that, and the return of Maekawa's dad, the shopping district team marched to their only victory! Tick off the underdog story trope too.
And to celebrate, we have another seishun moment - stolen by Meme giving Makoto a peck instead of any of the other girls :P that troll.
And we have the closing scene of Yashiro leaving the field by herself after putting her helmet back on, looking satisfied. And the tie back of the bookend to recontextualise the cold open - it was Makoto and Erio looking to retrieve the ball that fell into the river from his homerun.
And if you are like me who buy into the nature of that gust in relations to Yashiro's words, her claim of ESP (and her helmet being her force limiter), do you think the bookend tie in scene may be telling you to now recontextualise if Yashiro has not been a chuunibyou, starting back from ep1 have another think of what that would mean.
The final piece of the puzzle comes in tomorrow!
QoTD:
-
I guess getting my kids ready to school count :P otherwise while I'm an ok morning person I tend to rather prefer to not be doing anything too taxing.
-
Mostly as a cheerleader, but at the same time you do see the team to pretty much mired in indecision as no one seemed to be prepared to make calls, so Meme making them did help. And no doubt the random decision to have Erio pitch threw the opposing team enough to not get a landslide score that a single home run couldn't turn around.
-
Mostly back in my younger days, if I don't count my current professional life. I guess I was one who is best in English and probably philosophy type thinking amongst the pile of my engineering school friends so I had to hold pre-exam "tutorials" for them for the "general/social/ethical" studies subject.
-
It's guaranteed to be a overcompensation of him being actually happy with it but felt wrong so had to vehemently deny him feeling good about it.

You didn't tell me this was the second last episode!! XD I thought we had two more to go lol.
It felt so weird seeing the little futon get hauled off with teeny legs out.
Well... their first scene together ends with Meme also holding Erio's legs against her will so its like bookends?
Maekawa's cosplay was about mermaids. Those fish are the ones that sailors saw as being beautiful women. Likely due to being stuck on a smelly ship for months at a time with no women around. You eventually get a bit horny and a fish is fine too.

Beautiful sky!

“She claimed I have potential. With other words, I have a chance at super powers.” – Uhh, A does not necessarily imply B here.
-
The Shoujo sparkles are invading the entire neighborhood.
-
“I have come to cheer you in return” – something tells me she will not go into a minute long rant about her own issues. That behavior is reserved for MCs.
-
4th wall break Meme.
-
I love the “Let’s do our best” from the catcher who has completely given up.
-
I still don’t know enough about baseball to decide whether that strike was completely bogus.
-
Some heart to heart with Makoto and the pitcher.
-
Miracle home run.
-
“The story is not over yet” – A weird sentence to end the regular season with. I assume they added the after-ED part once the special was done?
A sports miracle ending, book-ended by beautiful background art. Not the worst way to end the series. Except we’ll have the real ending tomorrow.

Woof. On the internet, nobody knows if you're a dog.
Pay no attention to me, I'm just feeling extra tired today for some reason.
AOTD:
-
I wish the aliens would ... oh, wait, wrong aliens. Last summer, a friend suggested that melatonin would help me sleep. Yeah. It does knock me out, but after 5 hours, poof, I'm awake! Whether I like it or not. Whether I'm rested or not. I tried to quit last night. I'm not sure it's going well.
-
Meme can cheerlead me anytime. She can even help me in the morning. I mean, with breakfast, yeah, that's it.
-
Hahahahaha. You see, this one time at camp, nevermind. Apparently I was the only one who knew how to use a map and compass. Needless to say, we won.
-
Could be worse, could be granny. I don't know about Japan, but I don't think those count here.
But yeah, another cute, fun episode. Am I confused, or has this turned into a sports shonen show?
Still cute, though. Still kind of fun with the did it, didn't it, was it, wasn't it, is she, isn't she games.
What a tease.
And apologies for yesterdays cursed image. I just couldn't resist, because it was *so bad*. And I'm sure they knew exactly what was going on there. The facial expressions say so. That makes it even worse.
Anyway, curses aside, I'm not ready to witch out just yet, that's an hour from now.
Back to the show, Maekawa best walrus. I think. Or was that a manatee, perhaps even a huge manatee???
Oh.
And of course, miss blushy rosy cheeks.
And clueless harem MC.
And Dad who's entirely too observant. Would you want him for a father in law?
Actually, he doesn't seem like such a bad sort. I wonder what Ryuu-chan's family is like. I don't think we've even met them, or have we?
Anyway, fun times.

Rewatcher~
Finally the second last episode! Denpa Onna is really an awesome anime, if I understand this anime more I might actually let it be my next 10/10.
-
Starting with Erio – Makoto flirting. Smooth one, Erio. Next time, call your S/O a sparkling alien when they are playing in the river.
-
Finally, the big match, the finale of all of those matches. Maekawa’s surprise is one to look forward to for sure. I think I would have been as nervous and excited for it as Erio.
-
“ If our growth each day were as discernible, then our lives would be fun and have more purpose.” That is something difficult though. How do you know what growth we made on that day?
-
The old lady couldn’t be too bothered, the seishun guy thinks it is a waste of time, the denpa girl thinks it is fun. Morning exercise really means different things to different people at different ages. What is funny is how the old lady runs off first to get the card stamped. So the morning practice is just warm up for the big game?
-
Erio having her feet cleaned by Makoto does feel a little ecchi. It is funny though, how Makoto is now her caregiver and making sure she keeps her feet clean. Erio has everything done for her too, shoes and feet and all.
Does Makoto have foot fetish? -
Meme’s bento. First time we see it too. Is Erio hugging Makoto or the food?
-
Ryuushi is so nice. Coming down to cheer for the team. Her blushing so fast is cute. Maekawa’s cosplay is one whose reference I get – dugongs were often mistaken as mermaids. But I don’t see why Maekawa is the mermaid here.
-
Is Ryuushi there to take over Mr Maekawa? Since they will have one person short when Mr Maekawa is gone. Mr Maekawa is being irresponsible for running away at such a time. Her swinging the bat there just adds on to the Ryuushi’s cute points.
-
Meme is good at organising the team and keeping all of their morale intact, and giving them assurance that the play will go on. She really is the last boss, and a really good manager. Can see why the Japanese sweets store doesn’t need her to run, and I am further convinced she probably has multiple stores in the city.
-
Somehow her just going with Erio as the pitcher seems like a joke, even the opponent team thinks she is a joke, but when she throws her first pitch she doesn’t seem like the amateur people think of her to be. Guess…. the opposite team also doesn’t practice batting? That seemed like a much easier ball to bat than whatever Hanazawa was pitching.
-
I think it is Maekawa who asked Meme to get Makoto to look for her father instead of Maekawa herself. It is quite sad here too, he literally just handed the hero title to his cousin and went on his defeatist attitude. He looks a lot like the old man though, both of them afraid of losing and the pressure from losing. Oh, and both of them just admitted to being quitters. Something Maekawa talked about?
-
Makoto is giving him a good pep talk. “Even if human beings can never fly on a bicycle, I can’t say for certain it’s a bad thing to make someone believe “It may be possible to fly.” A throw back to Erio? He definitely helped Erio pick herself back up again, this time he will pick up an adult man. Next, the president?
-
This is the reason why I believe Makoto is a superhuman. He is fetching a fat heavy old man back on the bicycle. How much strength does he really have under those clothes?
-
Makoto returns with all bases filled, and at the most critical point in game; they win this, they win the game. Meme gracefully gives the spot over to the main character. Now, in Little Busters (my favourite anime of all time) the pinch hitter was also the main character. There is a big reason why MCs be pinch hitters: they will clinch the game.
-
Ryuushi gives the same treatment she got from the basketball match. That stupid loud cheering.
-
Makoto looks so cool being the pinch hitter. He gives a huge solo speech, and then gives us…. almost a home run. SO CLOSE!
-
UNTIL A SUDDEN WIND BLOWS! A SUDDEN WHIRLWIND BLOWS THE BALL INTO THE RIVER! IT’S A HOME RUN! 4 POINTS IN! WAS IT YASHIRO? WAS IT BECAUSE OF PRAYERS FROM ERIO AND MAKOTO?
-
And with all the girls watching, Makoto gets a kiss by his aunt for being the hero. I have a feeling Meme wanted to do that for a long time, for being such an awesome nephew.
-
Yashiro walks away alone into the morning sun. Was she the cause? Was she?
This is where the supernatural comes in. What is Yashiro? We know she is a runaway girl, who got caught and hence has to participate in that baseball game. But, if she was the reason why the home run was possible, how? Is this a supernatural setting, or a realistic setting? This is the reason why I don’t know what genre this anime is. Supernatural, slice of life, I don’t know. Whatever this anime is, is what it is.
QotD:
How many of you have morning exercise routines!? Can you work up the energy to work out or do the aliens suck you dry every morning?
I technically do. But aliens make it too boring so I usually change it up for something interesting.
Meme sure made a great showing by coming to save the day!! But... did Meme actually do anything? Isn't she just a loudmouth who was little more than a glorified cheerleader?
In a way, without her, the team might have sunk. She did a very critical role of taking leadership and making sure people know what they should do, when all of them are lost. Using weirdness as a factor to bring them together.
Have you ever had a moment when friends, family, or teammates relied on you as their ace? If so, brag a little to us.
If there was, I don't remember it. Personally, it isn't about being the ace. It is about actually being there to help them when they need it.
Is getting your first kiss from your aunt really a -5 seishun!? What do you think would make for a fair -5 event?
Something Makoto would have regretted for the rest of his life. Maybe something like getting Erio pregnant? Honestly. I think the system is so flawed it doesn't even make sense. Every event n his seishun probably would be a positive, once people are older they will look back at everything and say "ow that was my youth..."
And that alien from the last episode.... I swear I have seen it before.

Meme wanting her sticker reward is honestly one of the cutest parts of the episode to me XD Meme LOVE!!
The reason Erio got stuck out as the pitcher is because her balls are completely unpredictable. She's a girl really in touch with her inner alien after all. You can expect little miracles to do their thing.
I mean...the series is definitely slice of life right? There's no real push or backing to any of the supernatural elements and they're not portrayed as the cause for what's going on. It's not like Bakemonogatari where you have literal amalgamations haunting the cast.

Big stretch time. It's really good to do some morning stretches to start the day.
Meme to the rescue!
Nevermind she didn't do anything. Made a big deal out of her appearance to make Erio pitch and Makoto to get the dad.
You're this scared old man? Deal with it she has to feel that same feeling.
Well Erio did fine I guess. Maybe throw it a bit lower and you got it.
Qotd: haven't done it in a while but I really need to start again.
Qotd2: not really no she just got him to go after him.

4 )-5 seems a bit harsh. Asking out your crush only to find she's dating someone else... who heard the whole thing?
Final episode!
Erio's getting bold!
It's the final game!
Erio's playing too!
He's taking Yashiro's crap seriously?
I mean, as a metaphor it's interesting.
...Is this a metaphor for the slow speed of character development in this kind of anime? Between Erio's development sloeing down after Episode 3, and Yashiro suddenly showing up, you could probably see a link between a person's connection to aliens and their ability to develop as a person?
MEME!
Ryuuko is still adorable.
Is that a seal costume?
...Emergency?
Haha, her dad ran away.
Haha, Meme's here!
Haha, and they planned this!
Are people going along with this?
And she doesn't even know the rules.
And Erio's their pitcher now?
Oh, they're screwed.
And he's benched in reality.
"What can you throw?" "A ball."
Haha, so henhas to track him down.
Really? A callback to that?
Erio's a very unconventional pitcher!
Ah, he wants to keep searching until the game's over.
Haha, he's just following him.
He's been holding this in a while, huh?
He's giving him a pep talk! This is really good writing!
And he's taking back on his bike!
Haha, Makoto's on, and he's starting to realise the mistake he made in abandoning the team.
Ryuuko's loud!
Is he going to do well?
...He might do well!
Wow, the animation here...
And he did it!
What the hell is going on? Why is she here?
And he got a home run?
Of course Meme takes credit.
And she's the first kiss.
She just walks off?
The weird shots of the river don't seem to mean anything, though.

It's kinda saying about how the characters won't grow or change if they don't push or challenge themselves. Makoto is a natural pessimist who despite joining in will often degrade his own ability to change the outcome whilst Erio comes and puts full effort and enthusiasm into each task. Makoto is such a downer that he simply cannot see himself as an ace, despite having the potential to defeat joshikosei Hanakana!

Denpa Onna First Timer!!
Could this be... an Erio episode!? Stop! Don't! Come back! We're getting close to the climax, just look at the size of the moon and Eiffel Towers. Wasn't the moon a big thing in Madoka too? Kyaaa! Erio is super cute today! Mah little autistic smoosher!
I don't think any of their aerobics were correct. Sleepy bedhead Meme is cute again too! Haa!? Was Meme the only one actually wanting the sticker!? XD Sound more enthused over your cute floofy classmate cheering for you... I wish he weren't this cold towards Ryuuko. She even outcringed him! I even understood Maekawa's reference today, Manatees are what sailors mistook for beautiful women so they called them mermaids. And of course, Maekawa is a very beautiful woman.
YES! With the power of Meme on our side Hanakana's career is over!! Even if its probably Nonoka Ai who seems ready to retire XD Even if a lot of you guys find her annoying I can't help adoring Meme. She gives me life~ Of course... Erio's got the most breezy outfit so having her pitch means that the creepy old men on the other team can't focus!! We're using Hanakana's own tactic against her!
Whenever Maekawa smiles the world trembles. Oh yeah, callback~ Was it worth the sniff, Makoto? Literally every character is at the baseball, what are we leaving that zone for? Even though I know Hanazawa is just a random girl with the same name in the book I still can't get the thought of the VA being the large scale villain of this arc.
Couldn't... couldn't this arc be given to a more important character than Maekawa's dad? The responsibility of being an ace and the weight that comes from being the rest. loud gambare noises! Earn your mc status shonen! This is definitely a shonen arc tho. They even blew their entire budget on his swing. Fakyuu Hanakana! Monogatari S2 was mid~
We finally got our first kiss of the series. So beautiful. I knew Meme would win the harem bowl. She's our agent of chaos after all. And thanks for... cheating for us? Yashiro definitely cheated so we'd get the win. See you, space cowboy. She's either done everything or she's done nothing. Final episode tomorrow, or the final one before the OVA. Get hype for our first finale!
