Spoiler for ep1:

Hmm, I didn't have my hopes up when I learned this was not only a mobile game, but one that even hasn't been released.
...But it actually turned out to be fairly good. I felt the first episode was structured pretty well. I'm actually kinda surprised.

I liked the character designs, but why is Saitou using his doujin name?

Also, I was pretty surprised when I saw not only yozuca, but also Coorie and Minami in the ED credits. I was like, holy sh**, I haven't seen them together in the same franchise since School Days.
Yeah, School Days originally came out in 2005. ........................Wow....................... ....................... I feel old again.

BTW, to answer my questions above, I did a little research, but...

Spoiler:

So the reason the cast is so eroge-ish (from Saitou using saitom to yozuca and co.) is because apparently DDM or DDS or whatever that company's name is planning to release both a normal version and an R18 version.

The game was actually originally released "as a beta opening", but apparently, it sucked enough or for another reason was closed and plans to be re-released in the Spring of 2019.

Oh, and apparently the server of the anime website sucks, because people are having a hard time trying to access it. And I'm sure there aren't that many people.
That doesn't bode well.

Supposedly Bilibili (major chinese streaming platform), which is part of shows committe is blocking it for official western release, just like they did with Million Arthur.

[Liddo-kun]

Blocking it? So they don't actually want people to watch the show..

[4th Dimension]

I watched it without the subs, and even not knowing what's excatly going on it seemed pretty interesting. By far the most interesting thing I watched today.

Shame given the niche it's probably isn't likely to be subbed any time soon.

PS: Weeeell, we could have used less fanservice...

Considering they plan to release an R18 version of the game, I highly doubt that is even an option

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 1:

Hmm, not a bad start. I like the character designs.

Will keep watching.

Spoiler for Episode 2 Comments/Feedback:

Well got introduction to many characters and also a lot of mystery as well.

Mostly concerning that man posing as a woman and taking as the device at the end there.

And also with Reina, her sister was very successful and led Union to glory, is she still alive or just graduate and moved on.

[rladls2121]

The voice, um why?

[4th Dimension]

Because getting old man voice out of "teh animu girl" is funny

Also the subs available are apparently re-translation of Spanish subs... which I initially used even though I never studied Spanish... it was interesting.

[serenade_beta]

Because Vegeta

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 2:

Decent episode. So there's a practice match. And apparently, the sister of the student council president is very skilled in circlet bout. Let's see where this goes.

Also the funny mystery why the bracelet is an old man.

Spoiler for Episode 3 Comments/Feedback:

Alright well they have a team of 5 now, a bit of a mixed bunch, will have to wait to see the other 2 in action at some point to see what they are capable of.

That bracelet was pretty funny throughout this episode.

I thought Reina was pretty good out there, I think she might be just out of practice, she definitely has the experience.

What a great win for Yuuka, she defeated one of their best and a certain someone just happened to be watching, they will definitely meet again one day.

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 3:

Not a bad practice match. Yuuka gave the team the much needed morale boost with that win.

Looking forward to next week.

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 4:

finally, the Reina problem has been solved. We can move on now to the other characters.

not good, but not bad as well. Just a simple anime of girls in combat.

[4th Dimension]

I'm wondering when will they get to why they stopped with the Bouts in the first place. Coz I'm betting that's also "battle weirdo"'s fault, given that she accidentally stole what was supposed to be Reina's moment

[4th Dimension]

Man the subs were bad on 5, hilariously in places ("if you want to be fingered by the enemy team").

Also OI, if you joined the club, what are you doing not participating in clobbering of other girls.

[Liddo-kun]

the subs are now in a terrible quality... we need the spanish robot subs to be back...
