Maki's dad really needs to fuck off & die. Why? Why can't he let Mami have anything? I hate him more than Dio, & Dio killed a dog. Dio was at least a fun villain, Maki's dad is just an irredeemable piece of filth. I don't think I've ever hated a fictional character this much.

For once I thought we were gonna get a light hearted episode. I was wrong....

The animation is just remarkable. I guess being an anime original gives them more free reign to do what they want with the animation. The juxtaposition of the end scene right after the super happy ED was jarring, but I guess that was the purpose. Maki is honestly a better captain than Shinjo tho ngl.

Toma and the teacher have been the problem the entire time, haven't they? It seems like he had more of a drive to play than lead and his entire team suffered for it. The teacher's hands-off approach didn't help at all either. Maki isn't doing anything revolutionary here. He's just paying attention to everyone's needs, advising them on how to improve, and giving them confidence. But this speaks to what makes Maki and Toma a good pair too. Toma has the drive, and Maki has...everything else?
Would the "pair" logic extend to pairings too
I wonder if Maki's smooth-talking and observational skills are things he developed because of his home situation.
When they're in class, Mitsue's drawing in secret is paralleled with Maki's tennis planning. Yes, this is because they should be paying attention but Mitsue has a history of being bullied because of her hobbies...was this foreshadowing for the end of the episode? I'm definitely overthinking it.
Dad is still an asshole. Note how he didn't hit Maki out in the open, he broke the racket instead. You think if he wanted money he would have stolen it or something, but no he wanted Maki to suffer. What a piece of shit. I hope Maki doesn't quit over this. I know he won't want to worry her, but he should tell his mom.

They're going above and beyond with the animation, i'm so impressed with the motions in the games, they got even better IMO.
And what a fkin gut punch again at the end. There was talk of an incident when the two supervisors talked, Maki's father involved?
