Alright, this show was a surprise at how exciting they made ping pong. I love everyone’s chemistry as they supported one another throughout the episodes. I really wished they continued it as I want to see them pursue their dreams more.
This practice camp was a nice change of pace and especially for everyone to take a breather and relax. I love all of their comedy timing and how they all love the sport.
Koyori has surprised me at how she adapts and plays against Kururi. Glad to see how both of their drives makes them who they are playing the game.
I was surprised to see what Kururi went through. I love how Zakuro was open to play with her and how their close friendship blossomed.
Another fantastic match between these two schools and nice to see Mune show off her skills. I’m loving everyone’s comedy timing and their desire to win.
Watching the girls from rival schools finally meet was great and especially seeing how quirky and hilarious they can act towards one another. I also have to say that the matches with the techno music is just awesome to see and hear.
This was another fun episode to see the girls help out Hokuto at the store. Glad to see them all shine and support one another.
The matches with Agari and Koyori against the captain was so good. The music really makes it more exciting and is worth to watch.
This was another great funny episode, loved seeing everyone support each other and be playfully mocking. Also, nice seeing some fan service comedy.
Okay, this episode certainly was a surprise to see how Agari wants to be good at ping pong and why it’s important to her. The match between her and Koyori was fantastic and the music feels like I’m at a rave.
It’s nice to see Koyori show off her skills in ping pong, although I hope Agari opens up to her more. Loving the matches so far and seeing everyone’s play styles.
Okay, this first episode surprised me with how lovable and funny everyone is. The ping pong games are really paced well and makes it worth watching.
Munemune is so cute. She looks kind of jealous with the first-years asking for the captain's guidance. But the captain wishes to teach the youngsters just like her senpai taught her. But I can't believe how the ending ends. And there's no season 2! Unbelievable!
I'm very curious about Kumami. I'm sensing a tight relationship between her and Agari. She's likely a good player. And the training camp was so fun, and seeing them all improve, even the first years get motivated. I love the captain for not neglecting the first-years.
Kururi is definitely one of the best drivers, managing to bring the team to the nationals. But Koyori finding a way to counter her drive in the midst of battle is something unexpected. And I'm glad Agari coached her, showing their relationship improved.
Finally, we get to see the backstory of Kururi. No wonder she's very attached to Zakuro. And I commend Zakuro for accepting Kururi wholeheartedly. Only a few of them survived that intense training. Not to mention, Zakuro looks ordinary, but the training somehow gives her an edge.
Here come the doubles. I've been excited to see how Hikari and Munemune play a tag-team ping-pong. But that contact lens joke cracked me up. Lol. I really thought Mayuu have different eye color. This overly dramatic animation and camera story is killing me.
Koyori and the "death" girl meet again. There's really something off about her. But I love this weird kind of character. She has this wrong view about friendship, and I can smell a beautiful backstory from miles away. And Hikari and the scorpion girl's battle is so intense.
Hokuto is one of my favorite characters. And I'm really happy to see her backstory. I'm glad Hanabi became friends with her. Now, she is surrounded by people who loves her. Her exceptional knowledge and observant personality are what drew me close to her.
As expected, Agari and Kotori made it to the first 5. But Agari is right; Kiruka has been tired from fighting against 20 members, so she's at a disadvantage. But despite that, Agari and Kotori's skills are undeniable. Unexpectedly, Kiruka plays best in a tag team, though.
