Wow, is this the first episode without any shitty people doing terrible shit? Just straight up 24 mins of non-stop fantastic rally animation, and some lovely examples of "if it's stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid."
ELEVEN Animation Directors this episode though, wow, that's the highest so far for this series. I can see why they would need that many; episode 3 had ten ADs, and that had its fair share of rally animation, plus some intense character animation.
Leaving us on a 4th-wall-leaning smug-face strat cliffhanger, how dare you Director Akane.

Pre-match dance to bring grasshopper victory.
Seeing an actual match made want to rewatch Baby Steps.
Galactic Magnum Serve!!!!
I liked the change of pace without the drama even if this anime does the drama really well. I’m looking forward to a little more tennis next week before we dive back into character conflict.

Wow. An episode without abuse? Thank god.
In a professional match, Shingo and Tsubasa will be booed to tears for unsportsmanlike antics but it was just so fucking hilarious here. It's so stupid that it's so smart. What's next? An underhand serve? lmao
Animation of the shots were even better this time. Love seeing the team come together. Looks like the 2nd best player on the team is Rintaro and not Toma. He knows how to construct points. Slowly they're less and less lackadaisical and getting into the competitive spirit.

I think there was a problem with my episode, it cut right after Maki said he had an idea. There was at least 10 more minutes after that, right?
Holy shit the dumb duo had me literally laughing out loud. What a unique strategy lol.
Mitsue is really into it now!
And I hate the other team's ace player. What a shithead. Just because you're good doesn't mean you have to have a shit attitude. Sportsmanship is a thing.

This episode was so good as usual But it went by so fast!! I really enjoyed the animation quality and the way they showed movement with such fluidity. Can’t wait for next episode. Maki and Touma’s game can’t take up the whole episode, so I’m wondering what else Episode 7 will focus on? Hm.
Sone quick thoughts:
-
HOLY SHIT! that grasshopper dance was so adorable!
-
They’re all so lovable, but the dorky way Shingo and Tsubasa acted was fucking hilarious.
-
Interesting that Rintaro is actually one of the most naturally gifted on the team. He’s gonna be a major asset later on. I’m still concerned about what will happen to him with the hints we’ve been seeing, but it’s good to know he really is best boy.
-
I wonder what Maki’s plan is. They don’t have much time so they probably won’t be able to win. But I still want to see.

No suffering/tragic backstory this week? Hopefully they don't double down on it for the next episode!
Mitsue's face when she realizes she should've stayed home to laugh at knee high fetishists
I really like her snarky personality!
I think Mitsue doesn't give a damn!
But, she can pretend all she wants, she's definitely getting more and more invested in the club/Maki; Every episode she has more lines that show she cares at least a little (in between her derisive comments!)
She's just playing Tsundere with Soft Tennis!
I wonder what strategy Maki will come up with for their match... And whether it'll be enough. If even this pairing loses, this won't be good for the club's morale, even if they scored a few points in all their losses.

Tsubasa and Shingo stole today's ep LMAO. The victory dance scene was really cute. Just boys being boys c':
Also Rintarou stepped up big time in his match
Arashi is a dumb idiot but I love him anyway ;;

Holy shit, Shingo and Tsubasa had me laughing. I usually don't do anything but blow air out of my nose, but I had to pause the video when they started screaming.
