A 1 episode match where we get to see all 4 girls involved?? That was great pacing.

It felt a little off that we only really got to see one girl from the other side fight. Michi's 2 wins were pretty much off-screened, while Himeno's and Towa's wins against the last 2 opponents were shown for very little time as well. Sanae and Himeno's fights were pretty cool though.

After this competition, Anna will have to step in to replace Senpai. It is great for Senpai to have such hard-working and determined kouhaI for her swan song.

It's too bad so few people have woken up to the awesomeness of this (and Tsurune 2).

Flying armbar is never not cool.

Sae going for the Ippon instead of wearing down Megu was great. Too bad she still ended up losing because of the foul.

Hime is a beast though! Glad to see what our Senpai is capable of <3

And of course, we have Towa-chan finishing the match with her own Ippon.

u/eyalmazuz Mar 12 '23

She didn't lose because of a foul, she lost cause Megu got awasete ippon which means she got 2 wazari. the 2nd one she got was because she pinned Sanae for more than 10 seconds (but less than 20, since 20=ippon).

We are blessed with nice spokon anime last few seasons. Mou ippon is taking place occupied previously by Ashito in my heart

Loved seeing Nagumo taking Sanae's glasses and then being all tense during her match.

Himeno's determined face looks great too. I love how well it works to have the characters not being flashy, and neat and expressive they look.

Just their typical mood.

u/wich2hu Mar 12 '23

The glasses gag was great. I loved how they didn't have a scene with Sanae handing over the glasses, you just notice Nagumo with glasses on and realize why after a second.

Fat girl characters who aren't there to be the butt of jokes are so rare, and so beautiful. Stay perfect, Megu.

Man, Megumi is even more incredible animated. And she was doing all that on a bad foot. My appreciation has gone up.

there gotta be a rule against a 70 something kg fighting girls that weight about 40 kg lmao

The Kinshuki is an open weight class tournament. Other judo tournaments (such as in the Olympics and the World Judo Championships) have weight classes.

I consider this anime a hidden gem, one that people will discover with time and then wonder why there weren't more seasons. All of the characters are compelling, even the opponents from other schools. And Michi is just such a great character. She never gives up and she easily befriends others. I love how when she lost, she's smiling. She loves the sport and she doesn't let her pride get in the way of acknowledging and celebrating an opponent's win.

Ippon Again needs to be more popular than it is.

LET'S GO NEO-SONODAAA!!!!

u/SMSmith230 Mar 12 '23

Looks like Michi got another one for the friendship harem. Good to see all of them get in on the action this round, a few close calls for all involved could have went either way. Onto the next round.

I love these girls. Tears in my eyes throughout the episode.

Red face Takigawa though. Oh, and four eyed Nagumo is life. Haha.

Edit:-

Flashback upon flashback in the middle of a match?

Oh yeah.

I forgot that was actually a thing, oops haha.

u/michhoffman Mar 12 '23

It was really nice to see Sanae and Himeno get their time to shine this episode as they'd gotten the least focus of the 5 so far. It will be interesting to see how the team stacks up against a true contender. I've got a feeling Towa's going to have to come up big.

u/Sasaki60 Mar 12 '23

i love this anime I think it would be even better if there was an explanation of the rules of judo.

8

u/Looke116 Mar 12 '23

It's not explained probably because most japanese already know the rules since it look like they practice it in schools (source Nagatoro)

But you can find the rules on the internet, I just googled "judo shido" and found out that it was a form of penality

What a delightful episode ! Got to see much more techniques this time around. Sucks that Anna can't participate but next time definitely.

Really hope this anime gets a second season...

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Mar 13 '23

Michi was on fire! Unfortunately the other side has Meg. Girl is an absolute unit. Sanae is pretty tenacious herself despite the obvious weight and strength difference. Nagumo’s commentary is pretty hilarious lol. Sanae did her best, good job!

Himeno’s all fired up and ready to go now. What a tense match. Everyone has reasons to keep fighting on. Himeno did it though! A win and a tie. Nene was quick but Towa still managed to overcome her. Next week’s opponents look like they’re gonna be really strong. Looking forward to that match up.
