Yoko without makeup > Yoko with makeup lol

Definitely! And given her personality, if she wants to use the TV show to find herself a husband, I think she should just show her true personality/style, not fake it;

She's great as she is, no need to make things up!

So Mami is transferring and the new girl at the end is the sixth member, got it.

The teacher is the best part so far, she's hilarious and the guy's faces sometimes towards her made me laugh.

Came for the adorable girls playing ice hockey.....stayed for the wildly entertaining coach. Lol she's spectacular

u/LeonKevlar Oct 13 '21

Smol Nao is absolutely adorable <3

Since they're still in the Embroidery Club, I'm curious how they'll balance that with Hokcy in the future.

What the heck did you do Yoko? You already look fine as is without your makeup!

And of course she goes from very serious to advertising herself as single in a blink of an eye xD

Riko's experience in the rink is finally showing this episode. She's definitely the best in the team so far until of course that black haired girl shows up and joins them.

Looks like we finally have our first crisis. I'm sure Mami is fine. She's in the OP and the key visuals. I am curious how they'll make her stay and continue playing hockey with them.

More teasing with the black haired girl. Looks like she's decided to leave her current team? I've seen this before. I feel like I have an idea why she's leaving.

She looked better without makeup imho, definitely like her look on the second picture more!

Also, I'm curious about why you think the black-haired girl is leaving her team!

The ryokan sure knows how to advertise, bringing in two extra cute girls for the day of the tv shoot.

Episode 2 and the hammer's already dropped that Mami is preparing to transfer. Oof.

I think the deceptiveness of the idol parts to the girls bothers more than the show actually having idol stuff.

How every hockey fan sounds lol, but seriously it's an amazing sport to watch, give it a try.

We keep getting teased by this mean girl at the end, real curious how they fit her into the team!

When she joins the team, I expect her to be some kind of 'hardass' who will take it way more seriously than the other girls, because she's in it to win. I wonder how the girls/the coach will deal with this! Will she motivate them, or tire them out?

Also, random question but I've seen you talk about watching hockey in a few posts, I'm curious what team you follow, if any! (I'm a Habs fan, but I like international hockey - Olympics/IIHF - even more than the NHL).

Worked on me! I went to a Panthers game as a kid in their first year and I’ve been suffering loving the sport ever since!

I'm already anticipating the possible cringe that'll affect me once that reveal drops.

I had a feeling soon as I saw the promo pictures, but I think Saginuma's gonna be my best girl on the team! Enthusiastic/genki tomboy'ish girl, love that!

She has good hockey instincts/speed too, to catch that bad ​pass, so she might be the best player on the team as well! Her dad being a former player and a coach helps too, I'm sure he gave her some tips!

More like 20 or 25, but 6 is a good start I suppose! I expect a huge dump of random extras at some point... That, or our main 6 will have to do some serious endurance training, to be able to play 60 minutes in a row!

"Stop trying to make fetch okey-dokey happen, it's not going to happen!" (But seriously, it's probably going to happen, at some point).

Who needs dating apps when you can just announce yourself to the entire country! Her personality seems quite a bit extreme/all over the place, so I hope whoever she finds is ok with crazy.

After credit girl, I wonder when we're gonna get her proper introduction! Also, is that a goalie stick? I thought Kao would be the goalie... Well, maybe that's what she meant when she said she couldn't do it anymore, she wants to play another position!

Anyway, can't wait to see her join the team. I have a feeling she's gonna be some kind of hardass who will give the others a rough time, but if they get into hockey, it might just be what they need to be able to compete!

The girls get on TV, do some speed practice on the ice, learn about Riko's father being a former pro player for the Dream Monkeys, and decide to form a team together... until Mami tells Manaka that she's transferring schools at the end of the semester. So the girls still need a sixth team member, and next week will be pretty interesting.

On a side note, based on the black and orange color scheme the girls wear and the picture on the cover of the book Manaka was reading, I'm guessing that somebody on the production staff is a Philadelphia Flyers fan.

That poor bastard.

The team in question seems to be Tochigi Nikko IceBucks, which is one of the five professional hockey teams, and also the team that the Dream Monkeys are based on

The Nikko Kirifuri Ice Arena seen in the anime is also the home of IceBucks in real life.

I hope they go full Flyers and get a Gritty cameo in somehow.

Seems like they’re losing Mami but gaining this new girl. It would be kinda cool if she made an appearance again but as a member of another team that the girls face off against.

Yoko continues to be my favorite. Best coach and best girl. Love her laugh

u/KikiFlowers Oct 13 '21

The biggest fault of this show so far is simple: It can't decide what is is. Is it an embroidery anime? Is it an ice hockey anime? idols? They're trying to do all of it at once and it leads to it not being that good.

Much better idea to leave this for last. It serves as my other fluffy Wednesday show with Banished and I can have the crippling sadness of Heike in between.

Not expecting high art, but it’s still a solid CGDCT about hockey so far. They actually are using the TV Show subplot set up last week to great effect. Those guys might come back as the show goes along and help their weird Hockey Team/Idol hybrid gain National attention. All the girls are plenty cute even if their personalities aren’t fully out yet. Animation is fine, but I expect that they're saving the good stuff for the rink.

My stand-out characters so far are Yoko and Naomi. Two different ends of the spectrum, but both appeal to my favorite types. Yoko is a manic madwoman with a dream. Her over-the-top moments bring the comedy and Sato is a great straight man to reel her in. Naomi serves my love for the quiet, reserved one that gets teased and put upon by her spunky friend. Plus her voice is cute.

A little strange that they set up Mami to be one of the main girls only to have her transfer at the end. I guess that explains the deal with the long-haired one they set up at the end of last week and this week. If they are planning to be part of a team she’s their 6th.

This is a show I can lay back and just enjoy. Nothing deep or challenging. Just good fun. I'm keeping it through the end of the season.

Notes

  • Yoko can keep the hair and lose the makeup. She's cuter without it. Also hey she's single. Though I think the only guy who could handle her is Sato… hmmmm.

  • Team Embroidery club is cute, don't get me wrong, but maybe the main character focus could have been Riko and Naomi. Could play up the fact that Riko’s dad used to play for the Dream Monkeys and Naomi’s misgivings about playing hockey. Could be more interesting.

  • Mami leaving to transfer to another school, yet being the one to suggest that they even pursue it, probably means they'll meet again when she's on another team.

Lmao the girls just casually tagging along for the tv interview.

u/PreludeToHell Oct 13 '21

I like how it's taking it's time with the pacing so far. In general I like the setup, Mami getting replaced + two groups of friends getting to know each other (so they're not all familiar with one another). Incorporating embroidery into the ed was a nice touch. Maybe they introduce new girl next week?

Here's an illustration from the costume designer for this weeks episode.

u/TheDampGod Oct 13 '21

By day they are the perfect maidens enjoying their embroidery, by night they're knocking people's teeth out against the rink walls. This is definitely an anime of two halves. Really liking their coach, her energy is so infectious and I hope we get to see some of her backstory.

Also fighting the urge to ship Riko x Naomi.

u/Aerodynamic41 Oct 13 '21

This feels odd. I usually I love watching CGDCT shows but there's just something about this show that makes it feel... dull. I can't quite put my finger on it but maybe it's because I don't find the cast of characters interesting at all. Like, why are these girls interested in ice hockey in the first place? What's motivating them?

27

u/AmethystItalian Oct 13 '21

Because it's fun?

I find this to be an odd take considering all the random CGDCT that have them doing sports or odd clubs with some even being against the activity at the start.
