The easily misunderstood scenes are very believable as well given the age of the characters, provided you’re mature enough to see it for it is. It sounds like a straightforward plot device, and leads to some scenes that will almost certainly be misinterpreted from an outside point of view, but has the whole “realizing one’s true feelings and supporting each other” aspect going for it. What the screen captures don’t show you are the underlying themes to this anime, in which we have a high school basketball ace, who’s completely dejected and resigned to quitting the sport altogether, rediscovering his love for the sport from a sixth grader who’s doing everything she can to fight for place to play.
Is it revolutionary to the point that everyone should be watching Ro-Kyu-Bu this season? Probably not, but considering how a lot of people were quick to kick it to the curb and completely mislabel it with some predetermined judgements, it’s definitely worth giving some limelight too, hence this post on the second episode. Don’t let the character designs fool you, there’s some pretty good drama in this light novel adaptation. From the instrumental version of the “Shoot” opening theme to sixth grade Tomoka trying to deny her love for basketball, I’m pleasantly surprised by what I’ve seen so far. You really can’t judge a book by its cover it seems, as this second episode of Ro-Kyu-Bu had me thinking that the story would work really well in a live-action drama.
