/a/ - Animu & Mango

>>840186

>Of course the only small girl gets none

Expected this (both you whining about it and ignored small girl) just from the synopsis. Way to meet expectations OP. Haven't watched the episode yet.

>>840267

>a generic sports anime

What features would you say an anime has to have to be a generic sports anime?

>>840274

It has to not have anything besides the sports drama.

>>840262

>this better be compensated for in the coming episodes

As first episodes are indicators, and she is supposed to be the ugly duck, the direction definitely supports that too, I'd say no way in hell.

>>840274

You'd understand if you had seen two of them. They are all the same. Let me think of a single exception... hmm... nope, they are all the same.

Can a fellow anon actually think of a non-generic sports anime?

>>840321

>non-generic sports anime

Teekyuu.

Which Harukana would you Receive?

>>840321

I admittedly don’t usually watch sports anime The asses lured me in but I’m guessing they always follow a similar plot formula (e.g. some sort of big competition, MC and gang always win in the end)?

"Did you lose your Mommy?"

>The end of the episode shows that Kanata's mother is dead.

>>840377

Haruka taunted Kanata about 2 of her biggest complexes right off the bat.

>>840409

Same. If we don't get butt of Kana next episode, it's a drop.

>it's a "short girls are shit at sports and also unattractive little shits"

No please. Keep your tall girl propaganda to yourself, just because you have complex about your short average height, fucking nips.

Usually the first episode is the most fanservice heavy one to lure the people in.

But since this is an anime where every episode is a beach episode I'm not sure if it applies here.

>>840422

>it's a "short girls are shit at sports and also unattractive little shits"

Never watched any sports anime?

Kanata will make up for her physical disadvantage with spirit.

>>840452

She won't. She isn't even the main character, Haruka is the one who has the spirits.

She will be that useless ugly duckling that will have the brains, and be just good enough to let Haruka make up for her incompetency at beach volleyball.

>>840422

Clearly it's a "extremely good player quits because of some drama and old teammate is angry at her for quitting". It's the same with the badminton anime, except that one isn't about teammates.

>>840455

She quits because she stays short and thinks she can't play volleyball.

Haruka convinces that she can still play, and she can make up for Kanata being a liability, because they are a good duo, so everything's jolly.

These hips and butts are some of the best in all of anime. Really liking this anime.

>>840374

How are those non-generic? Needs more than just namedrop to convince people.

I have to agree that it's <generic sports anime>, Kirara edition. The first episode was almost exactly the same as Hanebado!, only that less time was spent on bad drama and had your average SoL scenes inserted. The SoL part is fine, the sport isn't, and it's probably only going to get worse.

>>840321

Long Riders is the anti-sport-anime. They actually enjoy themselves and cycle for fun, instead of being tryhard retards that keep getting mad and/or seriously anxious from the game.

Is Ballroom e Youkoso a generic sports anime? Polite sage for offtopic.

>>840578

It's a volleyball anime, why are some of you disappointed it's about sports?

>>840708

Stills look good, but the animation is borderline QUALITY throughout the whole episode.

It's kind of amazing how this show is better in every single regard compared to the badminton one that is almost identical plot wise.

>>840737

No dyke makes it infinitely superior from the get go

>>840669

It's not that it's about sports, it's that it's about sports that the players take very seriously, and you have those dramatic moments like the brown slut flipping her shit over "ace" played with a straight face. It's fucking high school volleyball, not life and death drama, and yet sports anime always present it like the latter. Of course it wasn't as prevalent here as in Hanebado, but it's still present, when it shouldn't be.

>>840662

Thank you good poster.

>>841851

They're both drawn horribly. What's your problem?

>>842760

No, only Kanata is. It's a prime example of a boob loving artist who doesn't even know how to draw small breasts at all.

It fits the anime series so well.

Just another "how to shit on Kanata again, while giving tons of glamourous fanservice of Haruka" episode.

I mean even if the manga somehow wants to convey "small girls are not completely useless in sports", we know that's not the case, and the adaptation sure makes sure to still look at small girls are little worthless pieces of shits who can't even have a proper service shot, because who would want that.

The disgusting thing is that they still have Kanata in the series for whatever reason instead of changing her to another glorious big girl, if that's all we're going to get glorification of anyways.

Still, Kanata arc is over without a single service shot of her

Is this yuri?

>>842884

No, it's "yuri".

>>842884

It isn't. But there's some side character yuri undertone.

>bad at volleyball because short

>ugly

Why not just remove Kanata, and name it Haruka Receive at this point?

And now we have Kanatas background story. Was expecting her to be some genius volleyballer instead of just a passionate player. Up until now I was thinking between Kanata and badminton autism which would win in a game of beach tennis. A slightly bitter moment upon discovery this show could have been KanataxNarumi aka Team Flat when they were still together.

>>842852

>2nd picture

The asymmetry stands out so much it hurts.

>>842888

Why didn't you realize already this show is not for you? Literally nobody gives a shit about Kanata, so why focus on her other than being a contrast to Haruka's beauty and talent with being the talentless ugly duck?

Tiddies and Ass and Ass and Tiddies.

I like it.

>>842856

>tfw screencaps of butt are better than watching the show

>>840350

>MC and gang always win in the end

That describes any show that doesn't purposefully end on a depressing note. Most of the better sportsball shows have the the team win through a combination of each other's eccentric personalities. The first season of Yowamushi Pedal was super fun because of it. Usually it's only the bad sports shows that are, "Team is bad>Fighting Spirit>They win!" Any one that's halfway decent has some kind of creativity behind it.

>>843971

Thanks for saying it. I really hope the meidos realise he's nothing but a pathological shitposter and deal with him.

>>843971

I hate cowtits and like DFC, and I too wish there were more service for it, but seeing the same post over and over again in every thread for every show is obnoxious as hell.

And he's never satisfied, even when they DO get service; I have a strong suspicion he was the one in the MiA threads making the absurd complaints about how often Reg's nipples were visible compared to Riko's.

>>843864

It only have fanservice of the tall girls, so it can't really be 10/10 due to lack of variety.

>>843971

What did I miss, Chen?

>>844181

Why this message disappeared, are you the same guy?

Today on volleyball butt shots: the Americans arrive and we learn a new move, the pokey. Also more Kanata backstory. Somewhere in some other universe this anime is JS beach volleybutts and we will never see a second of it

Another episode.

Guess who didn't get a single close-up service shot? Yep, it's Kanata.

Guess who got a lot of close-ups and from several angle and situation? All the other girls.

>>844890

>>844882

Why would you want to lewd an elementary school girl? That's illegal.

>>844921

To make her feel like she's not useless.

>>840374

>>840523

That one manga about couples dancing is not a typical generic sports anime because the protag is literally dancing with the girl instead of pining after her. But dance is subjective to some degree so maybe it's more comparable to generic cooking anime. Why do cooking shows always have orgasmic reactions? How good can food possibly taste, and how fine can one's sense of taste be?

>>844921

Theres nothing lewd about JS beach volleyball with at least 10 butt close ups per episode.

>>844950

>>845083

Don't provoke him

>>845083

>Kanata got a close-up service shot.

She didn't.

>>845110

How is that a close up service shot, when to begin with, it's not up-close, and there's no focus on it.

Did you even watch the show? Did you take any notice to how blatant they are with their service shots and close ups on other girls?

I would say without context that it's a pretty nice shot, like in a children's show, but this is Harukana receive, it still is a nice shot, but also obviously not the kind or level of service shot like the other girls constantly get.

>>845111

Anon, this is a good shot. You can complain about the quantity, but not about quality.

>>845247

I'm not complaining about the quality.

I'm just saying it's not a close up service shot, because it isn't. It's not close enough to fill most of the screen, so not close-up, and they aren't focusing on it, so not a service shot.

The ball moves way too slowly. It moves more like a balloon than a volleyball sometimes, and it looks awful.

It's not even limited to characters having the full-length conversations while the ball is in the air that are typical for sports manga/anime; sometimes it's just a girl waiting for the ball to come down.

On the other hand, sisterly sexual harASSment.

At least we got a single half-service shot of Kanata this time at the changing scene...

I feel that this series is full of lewds, but soulless lewds.

>>846808

>OH MY GOD! X CHARACTER IS JUST LIKE Y CHARACTER

You don't wanna play this game, newfag.

>>846843

>another new short girl

>no close-up of her, only her tall sister

No coincidence.

>>846841

Was this scene was referring to pubic hair coming out of the swimsuit? Did Haruka shave it? Do girls have something that can come out of a swimsuit down there?

>>846887

>>846880

Bikinis are really no good for sports. They were designed that way intentionally to expose maximum skin assuming people would be sunbathing, not swimming in said swimsuits. There's a very common risk of bikinis slipping out of place or off completely when doing sports which is why most girls opt for one-piece swimsuits for sports.

>>846937

The point of sports should be to show off how good a mating partner you'd be. Bikinis are ideal for that.

>>846959

One piece swimsuits look better and are more functional. A better mate would wear one over a dick seeking slut in a bikini.

>aimai san-SENCHI sorya puni tte koto kai? cho!

>RAPPINGU ga seifuku... daaa furi tte kotanai puu.

>ganbaccha yacchacha

Try to see it, really, but the incentive of the fanservice is not enough.

Do people actually try on swimsuits in the store? Is that a Japan thing? A female thing? Every time I see a scene like this in anime I wonder about it.

There's no way I would feel comfortable doing that. Normal clothes are one thing, but swimsuits? No thanks. If I were a girl I wouldn't put a bikini on even after I bought it, until I washed it.

>>847062

If I were a girl I would scout out cute girls trying on swim suits and take them myself when they put them down. I would then sniff, lick, and masturbate in the swim suits and the put them back myself.

>>847070

I hope the little girls fart in the swimsuits!

I'm tempted to watch this, but I don't know if it's my thing. It looks like one of those shows where the main appeal is the girls looks and there's nothing else.

>>847121

Not completely, but the highest appeal.

If you like seeing skimpy TALL girls, go for it.

>>847062

>Do people actually try on swimsuits in the store?

I think so. The top is fine to go against the skin, bottoms can be tried out over pantsu for sanitary purposes.

>>847866

To develop a potential talent? The big names cannot have every role and they will retire eventually.

>>847147

>TALL girls,

For Japaneses. Even the LLENN in IRL is tallest than the protagonist.

>>847870

But the cast is full of decently known seiyuu.

It's only her, and that kouhai girl from last episode with nobodies. I'd think at least the (secondary) main girl gets someone who isn't completely green.

>>847892

>For Japanese

Duh.

But this is anime, you can add 10 cm to her height if you want to put her in western environment.

>>846841

>>842851

>>842854

>>842855

>>845082

>>845081

>>846840

>>845083

Do they understand how to draw an ass that isn't flat?

>>848113

Japanese are genetically inclined to have flat asses due to the angle of their hip bones and the artists are probably only using their fap folders that are filled with native women as references.

>>848113

They're pretty nice for nip asses.

>>848119

It's a nigger thing, but it's become more common in America. Niggers only consider quantity over quality of ass, so they constantly push fat, cottage cheese-asses as the ideal and the idea's becoming mainstream. Nice, toned butts are harder to achieve and harder to find.

>>848122

This is fantastic, I will use it to show the folly of the cowtits lover! And also to argue against .45 ACP, and I will bring it up next time .280 British is discussed.

>>848237

It's the same obsession as the "Big Tit" fetish. Having a toned body and the ass/tits that come with it takes effort. Maintaining good diet and exercise habits aren't seen as positive traits in american culture so they instead idolise being "thicc" so they can be fat asses and still feel attractive.

>My pokeys won't work anymore

>proceeds to do nothing but pokeys

>>848667

Hold up, what do big tits have to do with this?

The constant slow motion is really ugly, how could anyone possibly have believed it was a good idea? The only part of this episode that didn't look like shit was the 20 seconds indoor volleyball flashback.

Beach volleyball is one of the only sports where the women's is more popular than the men's. I wonder why.

This anime has the biggest buttocks I've ever seen.

Does Kanata not understand the concept of a mixup?

>>848819

See >>848738

The goal seems to force the other team into fatigue and mistakes in the 3rd set. At some point Kanata will start spiking to finish the job.

>>848739

>ass shots of the small girls

>crotch shots of the small girls

>chest shots of the small girls

And where is loli autist admitting he was wrong?

>>848871

>Literally throwing a game just to make your opponents tired.

If that's not bad sportsmanship then I don't know what is. Maybe if they weren't clearly better but they are, so what's the point?

>>848873

Don't summon him, you know he's just going to move goalposts and keep whining regardless.

>>848874

Its not bad sportsmanship. Kanata said she knows their strategy likely since she did the same thing in the past. She knows how to beat it and is doing so. The opponents are better than them but came from hardwood volleyball so they have no choice and certainly this approach wouldn't work on a beach experienced team like Eclair.

>>849004

But what if she just choose to take a completely unguarded spike a few times instead of giving them high shots over and over again? They would be up that many points, the other team would have to start attempting to block the spikes (which takes far more energy), and there would be one less player available to intercept the pokeys. This is even more retarded than the episode where she refused to use pokeys except then it was because of how she felt instead of some niche strategy that they don't even need to use to win.

>>846959

They do design special bikinis that cling to your body for sports, but they're:

1) Expensive (like a good bikini is $30+ and those things are $200).

2) Require you to get wet for them to work.

3) Expose if you're a slut with massive cameltoe so they've never caught on in 3D.

>>849054

I thought the exact same thing with the pokeys, when they are expecting them just throw in a spike and there is no way they can return it.

She was just doing a pokey every single time to return it over the net.

>>849059

>3) Expose if you're a slut with massive cameltoe so they've never caught on in 3D.

A giant cameltoe means a 3D is a slut? I thought it was genetic.

>>849054

You should know by now nothing happens in game with Kanata unless its for plot. As much as we want to think its some meaningful strategy, she could just be stubborn and need some plot point advancement to actually play better.

>>848874

That's not bad sportsmanship, it's literal strategy. You see it all the time in proper sports like soccer, rugby, and cricket. You make the other team do all the running/make them bat all day and then you hit them with a fast ball or put on some fresh legs who can run rings around them. Fitness is a legitimate factor in sport.

>>849212

Except that's not what is happening here. Maybe the rallies go longer, but they aren't nearly as hard to play physically because of how slow paced they are. If anything It would be harder on the protagonist team because they are having to have a player jump every time the ball crosses the net (block and shoot) instead of every other time like the opposing team (just shoot). If it's literally just Kanata being retarded and narrow minded like she was with the spikes in episode 3 that's one thing, but otherwise all she is doing is sand bagging.

>>845111

It is a close up, and it is in focus. You must be blind. Are you the retard that took a dump all over Ryuuou Oshigoto topic because it didn't have enough lolis for you?

>>849613

>not a service shot

>clearly shows a shot being served

I mean, really.

>>850536

Fortunately she had the perfect cover since everyone's staring at her butt.

>>850594

>shit posted into oblivion

I'm not certain what you are referring to.

>>850596

Overly wide vagina bones I think he means.

>>850794

>Kanata's confident game face is cute

That is redundant. All of Kanata's faces are cute.

>>850596

Suspiciously puffy "vagina".

>>850648

>>850596

I didn't see it get "shit posted into oblivion" about this though. At least here, I don't really go to any other animu websistes.

>>849147

Nah, it's just a meme.

>>852431

So this whole show is a soft drink tie-in?

Is Shii going to get paired up with someone too, or will she forever be designated as the person who fetches the snacks?

>>854298

Gay.

>>854298

>"old hag"

>posts cake webm instead of granny webm

Anon, if you'd just name your files properly you wouldn't make such mistakes.

After careful review of the screenshots in this thread. Kanata is far from flat, in fact she appears to be B or maybe C cup with a mid to upper 70's bust and just shorter than everyone else. Not sure if this is near the average in Japan. The Americans are Haruka are just so massive she looks small in comparison. The actual flat chests are on the indoor volleyball team and Narumi. Unrelated there is something immeasurably cute about Kanata's head. I have not figured out what it is quite yet but somewhere between the shape of her head, eye color, and her hairstyle it looks really good.

>>854602

The whole power sliding scene looked ridiculous. Partly because of the car and partly because it didn't look like they were going fast enough to pull off the slides.

Agreed, Kanata is not even small, pretty sure she's supposed to have average size.

>>855117

Nice kabedon, but why are they in space?

>>855124

Not space. Just a night time flight back to Honshu from Okinawa.

>>855273

Gods yes. I want to lick all those armpits right after they're done playing a game.

Anyone else utterly bored with this show? It's good for fan service, but that's all it is.

>>855316

*It's good for tall girl fanservice.

Fixed it for you.

>>855316

That's what I was thinking at episode 1 already. I watched the second, and kind of intended to continue, but it's just really not good at motivating me to watch more of it.

>>855316

>>855390

Why are you in this thread, then?

>>855392

Because the thread is on the front page.

>>855394

>not using the catalog

What are you doing, anon?

>>855394

>>855412

Somebody help, I've gone back in time.

>>855412

The front page displays all active threads of the past 6-12 hours, plus all recent replies in an easy to read format, along with images. The catalog is for searching for a specific thread, which I don't do often because I just keep relevant threads open.

>>855316

The fan service keeps me interested, but my expectations weren't that high to begin with.

>>855316

It's a sports anime with tons of fanservice. If you're not into sports anime or into fanservice, you're probably not going to like this. You may have expected this to have cute girls doing cute things, but at this point it should be clear that you're not going to see much of that.

>>855392

>>855449

I've been watching it from the start, but after they got eliminated from the tournament it slowed down too much, nothing happens but ass and tits. It's not a good sports anime.

>>855499

Fuck off then.

>>856557

Don't you know Kanata will never get any fan service shots because shes a small girl ugly duck that the studio constantly shits on? Not a single one of those is fan service.

>>856575

>Not a single one of those is fan service.

Well, this work for my dick. Looks to those cheeks and say you don't want slap that.

>>856581

Where are you from, Anon? I need to know so I can read your typing with the right accent in mind.

>>856560

Probably small enough to drop the quality with the abysmal expected sales numbers, sadly.

Which reminds me, is there not a new stalker site or something?

>>856648

>Probably small enough to drop the quality with the abysmal expected sales numbers, sadly.

Just the usual production issues, people don't manage to keep up with the schedule leading to a quality decrease.

I doubt that this has anything to do with budget, since the studio should have already been paid for the anime.

>is there not a new stalker site or something?

There's a Chinese Stalker alternative named Mingzuozhibi.

They use Chinese titles, but it's better than nothing.

I didn't know using your legs was allowed

>>859324

There were a lot of things that were done this week that I thought were breaking the rules. Offensive receive, feet, and dumping all make the list. Are 4 hits allowed? Are headers allowed? Wouldn't be surprised to see either of those appear and be told its for advanced players.

>>859324

>>859433

Apparently both legs and head are allowed, just strongly discouraged since it rarely works.

>>859959

They could allow hips and chests too. Imagine different style that flat chest of Kanata could do.

>>859962

>flat chest

>Kanata

You confusing her with someone?

Kanata has average size (slightly above, as it's C cup) breasts, canonically.

I was ready for that mix of feels and lewds.

But who was the cutest girl of the show? I vote for Lemon girl.

>idol body

>nice ass

>nice hair

>baka but not much

>>862956

>Claire's casual wear is pretty lewd.

This is because American firepower. Put Kanata in the same clothes and would be could.

>And apparently scissoring is a normal part of beach volleyball training.

This is probably to train endurance against leg cramp.

>>863066

I think this should would be "second line show", but by the way was executed become a really good experience with some problems with the pace of the show.

>>863066

I might read the manga, but the translation has picked up where the show finished. I prefer to read from the beginning. The only translation the first five volumes are going to get will be the licensed one, which still hasn't released volume 2, and I haven't downloaded it to check the quality.
